Alan Rickman, would you please, pretty please, marry me? Honestly, I love this man SO FUCKING MUCH! He is my favorite actor, I just got it proved today. He can marry me, have my soul, make me his slave. I'd do willingly *.*
Movie spoilers. DUH.
[Deathly Hallows spoilers here]
Alan Rickman: He is phenomenal. He never stops amazing me, it's incredible. Besides the fact that his facial expressions are hilarious since movie one and he keep on improving on that, he is so fricken faithful to the book!character. It really is like seeing a character coming to life. The scene Snape kills Dumbledore, it was perfect. As well as him fighting Harry and telling him he is the Half Blood Prince. I felt so so so sorry for him. It must be so hard to be him, never loved, always on edge, having to lie and risk himself all the time. I wanted to hug him and give him a Lily as a gift so he'd be happier. I was actually more sad he had to kill Dumbledore than for the death itself, what didn't happen on the book. I mean, he had to go there and pretend he is the bad guy and everyone hates him for killing the best man ever and he has to endure it, to keep Harry safe, for Lily. How tragic is that? Oh I love him! He is worth the whole movie, tbh.
[/end of spoilers]
Michael Gambon: Thank you, Gambon for not screwing everything completely. Meaning, thank you for doing your job for once. Halfway through the movie I was still "blah, Gambon being Gambon" but after Harry gets the memory from Slughorn he was quite alright. The scene on the cave he says "it was all my fault, it was all my fault" awww. Poor Dumbledore. It's hard to be him, too. And his death scene. Man! Perfect. Him saying "please, please Severus" :'( and Snape's face and everything combined <3 Love! Oh how I loved this movie!
Lily fish story: So cool! I'm a sucker for everything Lily, hehe. I was squeeing just to see her on a new picture and I was rewarded with a cute Lily story. It's so her to give Slughorn the fish. It def is the kind of thing she would do.
Bellatrix: HUAHAUHUA! Helena is fantastic! She makes me laugh every single scene. I was so happy she sang the "I killed Sirius Black, come get me" again! Huahauhua. And persuasion for the Unbreakable Vow, LOL. She putting hagrid's house on fire, LMAO! Love her.
Slughorn: Hilarious scenes! He is so fricken funny. I don't remember the actor's name tbh, but he is really good. The scene he is drunk with Hagrid was so much fun as well as him trying to get away from Harry. LOL!
Ron&Mione: Awwww. Awww. Awww. So effing cute. Him saying her name when he was unconscious, him talking about her skin. And her crying, being jealous, sad, infuriated. They really have a great chemistry. Plus Rup and Emma are good young actors, I think they have a promising career *nods*
Harry&Ginny: So cute! The kiss was a total fail but I had already figured that out. I mean, it's Daniel playing Harry. Of course it wouldn't be good kiss. But still, their scenes together were quite adorable. The scene of the attack at the Burrow was great. I loved how she went after him, Ginny is really brave and loyal, one of my favorite things about her. Oh and how cute was it Harry standing up when she showed up at Slug's dinner thing? Awww.
Lavander: Jessie Cave is brilliant. She made me forget that I hate Lavender. She's hilarious. She is perfect for comedy moments. The scene she draws the heart on the train, was priceless.
DanRad: He improved a lot, IMO. Maybe Broadway did good for him. Of course he isn't as good as the other ones and has no expression on pivotal scenes, but well, we expect that from him. But he can be good when he tries hard, or when some good actor possesses his body :P He was good on the scene Dumbledore explains what the horcruxes are and he was brilliant playing lucky/high/on drugs!Harry. The "Potter?" "Siiiiiiiir" scene, PWNED.
Hmmm other moments I really liked:
[Deathly Hallows Spoilers Here]
- The whole cave scene
- Everyone with their wands held up high
- Harry touching the ring and memories of Voldemort coming up. And the way Dumbledore looked at him, as if realizing Harry is too, an horcrux.
- Ron in love with Romilda
- Tonks calling Remus "sweetheart"
- Draco crying on the bathroom and the Sectumsempra spell
- Cormac flirting with Hermione on the dinner scene
- Cormac throwing up on Snape's shoes. LOL!
- All Luna Scenes. Evanna is brilliant.
[/end of spoilers]
What I didn't like
- They didn't explain that the ring belonged to Slytherin and didn't mention the Hufflepuff cup. How is Harry supposed to know? He can't get things right even when people exactly tell him what he is supposed to do.
- No "Dumbledore's man through and through". I love this quote, sfm!
- No funeral :(
- They should have focused a bit more on the Potion Book
- Just one line for Neville? Poor him! He deserved way more.
- Draco just owns ONE PAIR OF SUIT? WTF?!?!?!
Even though a lot was cut, I still think it was a good adaptation. Everything made sense, what didn't happen in some of the others movies. And the directing is great, I knew Yates wouldn't disappoint me and I'm glad he is staying for the next two movies. I keep on wondering how the movies would be if all of them were directed only by Chris Columbus or only by David Yates. A lot better, I guess.
I think it's my favorite movie. I'm gonna watch it again sometime on the weekend just to make sure :P
It still was a long review. Sorry :S
