Wow, that was... depressing. Which, yes, is stating the obvious. I read the books and knew what was coming but there's a bit more of an impact to it when it's visual. Plus between the previous movie and this movie it feels like one big long line of woe. But at the same time I find it fascinating, especially when I look back at the very first HP book/movie - the fun and whimsy and child-like excitement, followed by the increase of dark and gritty with each year. Though I hated how kill-happy JK got with her later books, especially Deathly Hollows, I do like how it wasn't just the kids who grew up but the story as a whole. Still, it makes me miss those early days of whimsy.
