I agree with every single thing you use said -- 1. admirable stagecraft, 2. time traveler effect didn't get tired, 3. script padded, 4. could hav been several hours shorter, 5. Anthony Boyle carried that show. I wonder how his replacement will measure up.
One more point, which I guess is obvious -- the show is really for people who are already fans of the books and movies. It's hard to picture this stage play alone turning someone into a similarly rabid fan.

I also agree on all points. Frankly, I'm surprised that HARRY POTTER got away with being a two-parter when, as has been pointed out, the script does absolutely feel padded and the show could easily have been "several hours" shorter -- like, at least three hours shorter, in which case it would have been one show rather than two. And if it HAD been one show rather than two, it might have ended up running years longer than the two shows will run -- although, of course, there will be no way to tell that for sure.
