There will be no time to explore Arthur's reaction to Merlin's magic and the primary message from the series seems to be : don't bother trying to do anything with your life, it's all written in stone in advance. They'll probably leave a cliff hanger for the movie sequel, but the end result of the tv series will be quite disappointing. That is not at all, what I've got from the series. I've learned about friendship and love, and that everyone can become something, even though they're nothing to begin with.

And if Arthur had known about Merlins magic before, wouldn't the last episodes be kind of pointless and boring, because the plot has been ruined?

I don't think there's going to be a movie sequal, actually. And Bradley says in an interview, that he'd not return for the movies. It'd be shit, if someone else is playing Arthur.
