I must say I am not a great fan of the boy with a lightning scar. To me, this classic series of JK Rowling is no different from other martial arts fictions - just that the characters fight with each other by curses and wands rather than qigong (氣功) and sword.
And, if anything, the movie is putting too much emphasis on the muscular aspect of the novel. An army led by the Lord Voldemort tried to take over the School of Witchcraft, while the bright side of the wizard world defend their castle to the last man. If you stand one step backward, it becomes obvious that there is very little difference between Hogwarts and Modor, or Tom Riddle and Sauron. (By coincidence, the two are both called the Dark Lord.)
In fact, the gigantic stone statues activated by Minerva McGonagall reminded me of their mechanical equivalents in Transformers.
PS. An excellent wizard he might be, Lord Voldemort badly need basic training in strategy, and should not bring Nagini, his snake which carried the last piece of his own Horcrux, with him during the final attack of Hogwarts.
His portfolio was not diversified.
