Ohhhhhh guys. It may have been my proximity to the screen and thus my inability to not be incredibly overwhelmed by everything that happened, but I looooooooooooooooooved this. LOVED IT SO MUCH. Like, rivaling Prisoner of Azkaban love.

"Dobby has no master!" squealed the elf. "Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends!"

And I was so caught up with it all that I laughed out loud and clapped with glee, and I forgot, and then Bellatrix threw that knife, and I remembered like a punch to the gut. The scene at the beach was the closest I have come to crying at a Harry Potter film, if we don't include Goblet Of Fire and crying with laughter at Jarvis Cocker and Jonny Greenwood as the Weird Sisters. If we needed more proof that this movie was fantastic, it was that it didn't manage to ruin Dobby like Chris Columbus and the goddamn toilet he called Chamber of Secrets.

There were things they didn't include, but nothing seemed too glaring, like it would affect the story adversely. Harry set off Hedwig at the beginning (which got a huge "WHAT?!" from me), but then returned, and died protecting Harry. Oh, my heart. That makes it easier than pointing out Harry's use of Expelliarmus and Stupefy was what gave him away? Or maybe it was for the emotional punch. They haven't mentioned that saying the name Voldemort has a trail on it, and I don't think they will? All throughout the Sexy Angsty Apparating Road Trip From Hell, I'm pretty sure Harry never actually said Voldemort, he was saying You Know Who, so they probably won't. But that doesn't give an explanation for how the Death Eaters found them so quickly in the cafe. Whatever. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE SEXY ANGSTY APPARATING ROAD TRIP FROM HELL!

It is basically my favourite thing in the series. Somewhere in my HP tag I've talked about how perfectly it subverts the "Quest" genre, I'll find it eventually and link it here. But oh, the angst! And that line about Hermione's perfume, oh such a perfect addition to make Ron jealous. TALKING ABOUT ADDING THINGS. OH MY GOD, HARRY AND HERMIONE DANCING TO NICK CAVE OH MY GOD. There was only one thing I wanted from this film, and it was Evil Horcrux Harry and Hermione making out and um, well, we got that, and it was all weird and so much nudity, and I laughed hysterically and applauded, and Ron killed that goddamn Horcrux like the BAD ASS MOTHERFUCKER HE IS, but before that, out of nowhere, we had that heartbreaking beautiful dance between Harry and Hermione, and it was just...words cannot describe how perfect it was. It's was so halting and awkward, and it was so purely Harry trying to comfort Hermione because he knows how she feels about Ron, and OH GOD OT3 FOREVVVVVZ.

Okay as my writing has clearly declined into capslock and faux-netspeak, and I have to get ready for work...I will stop now. MORE LATER! There must be. Just as there must be like, ALL OF Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore's backstory in Part Two or I will shake a stick at Steve Kloves!

In conclusion, "Hey losers! They're not here!" ♥NEVILLE GODDAMN LONGBOTTOM♥

P.S. ALSO THE TORTURE SCENE, OMG OMG OMG.

Hey, how about this album guys? So good? So good.

harry potter, sufjan
