Well true, but not all the time. Think about the movie Taken. If it's good enough to stand alone, there's a good chance it's supposed to. Now take something like Harry Potter, where a sequel is needed to answer the questions of the previous movie or to solve a new conflict that arose after the one in the first was resolved. If it all just ended when Harry broke the stone everyone would've been disappointed.

Spoiler
Harry didn't break the stone sir, he was under the impression that Snape was after the stone, and so he and his friends went into the chamber in an attempt to stop him, only to find it was Quirrel, at the time being possessed by Lord Voldemort. Instead of stopping Snape, he stopped Quirrel (killing him oops) from taking the stone for Voldemort and ending up retrieving it himself. He passed out, and Dumbledore, who had arrived at the castle early from the Ministry (who also had an idea of what had of what had happened. smart man, Dumbledore), took Harry and his friends to the hospital wing. He then took the stone to its owner, Nicolas Flamel, his dear 600 year old friend. They agreed it would be for the best to destroy the stone.
(this consequently killed Nicolas and his wife, because they relied on it for life, as it isn't really normal, even for wizards, to live for 600 years, but they were okay with it)

Harry Potter didn't have sequels, it's part of a series, and I think that there's some distinguishing factors between the two.

I agree with this. It's sort of something that's meant to have more movies, and the plot was already published in book form and already was loved. When you make movies out of a popular book series, it isn't really a matter of whether the major plot is excellent, because you already know it is, more of a matter of whether or not the creators of the movie do the books justice and don't completely muck it up. cough-percyjackson-cough
imo anyway
did that make any sense at all
