Who to blame ? First of all, the story can be basically told in mere 5 lines. Not only that, I could predict everything happening. The simplistic storytelling is kind of inexcusable for this 6th installment, where there&#8217;s no evolving whatsoever for the better. In the world of spells, everything should be possible, including the cliches. Except, in this case, those even don&#8217;t hold ground, as the relationships are there just to be there, and have no basis at all. Same goes for character interaction, and story line, totally uninteresting for a pre-finale chapter. And it bugs the hell out of me. Everything feels so fake, even the loss of a major character makes me feel indifferent and only strengthens my aversion.<br \/>\nWith 2.5 hours of mostly nothing but the most obvious happening, I really wonder if I&#8217;m able to sit through the last book, which will be split in two (released in 2010 and 2011)!
