It was pretty good. Alan Rickman stole every scene, like he always did in these films. Such a perfect casting. McGonagall was pretty badass too.

I am disappointed with the final battle in that they didn't show enough of it. Didn't show certain characters die, etc. Those were some powerful moments in the books and I figured Hollywood loves action so we'd see a bloodbath. There was some giants smashing statues but I didn't care much about that. Show the people!

Also (and I didn't notice it until it was mentioned here), it was really weird that Harry and Voldemort's showdown didn't occur in front of the school, but in private. That really takes away from that scene. Voldemort was this terror in the wizarding world so it was important that the people witness his downfall. Oh well.

I've never read a Harry Potter book, and I was fairly so-so with the movies. But I did manage to enjoy this one. The acting had stepped up quite a bit too, which was nice.

I don't know what i'm going to do without harry potter. That was the one thing I always look forward too. And now it's gone, so wtf do I do /distraught.

Screw that, I went with good friends and the girl I'm interested in. We played games in line and had a jolly time.

And I saw the previous 4 at midnight too.

[Peegee]

wait, so (SPOILER)lucius' wand didn't work because of the horcrux in harry? how does that work?

[Rostum]

how does that work?

Magic.

I did the midnight premier thing (which I've done for all of the HP movies since PoA and all of the HP books since OotP). I almost thought I'd have to go alone because the friend who I've been seeing them all with lives out of town in San Fran and she couldn't get to Portland. But then I was able to convince another good friend who lives out of town but closer to come. She brought her sister and brother. We had SUCH a good time.

Really, the midnight premiers are the only way to see those movies for the first time, because everyone is SO excited and there's so much cheering and clapping. You feel like you know these other people are at least as into it as you are, and that's a great feeling.

As for the movie, I was a bit disappointed that they cut out most all of the Dumbledor backstory stuff. But... I guess I can see why that wasn't really neccessary to the movie. I suppose it's not all that important how he got the wand. But besides that, I think they did an amazing job with the movie. As others have mentioned, the Snape stuff was spot on. I think I might have cried.

So good.

And I'm so sad it's all over.

Who's up for Albus Severus Potter and the Return of the Dark Lord? :P Kidding of course. Sort of. >.>

Really Harry/Ginny relationship was such poop. Really, he had more chemistry in a single glance at Cho than he did while making out with Ginny. Such a waste. I don't know if it's because the actress who plays Ginny doesn't have any sort of spark in her at all, or if it's because the writers never properly developed their relationship, but all the bits that involved Ginny seemed forced and tacked on.

To be perfectly honest, as much as I adore J.K. Rowling... I felt the same about it in the books. I felt like it came out of left field ad felt almost incestuous since Harry is almost like an adopted Weasley (he spends so many summers with them and such). I never liked the idea of their pairing.

I like how the Irish guy gets charged to blow trout up... lolracism.

Is that a stereotype somehow? He just always made things blow up with simple spells.

[Freya]

Yeah like the entire first movie he's blowing everything up. How can you blow up a feather with windgardium leviosa?

[Araciel]

Well yeah it's a stereotype... IRA!? Hell there's a drink called an Irish Car Bomb.

[DMKA]

Bah, I feel sorry for you people who read the books...you've set a standard in your heads that will never be met.

God this movie was awesome.
