I wish I could flail as hard as you, but I've already ranted and bitched about my DH experience (DIAF TRAFFIC AND OBNOXIOUS TEENS :||)...I'm sure I'll enjoy it much more if/when I watch it again. That said, even with all that suckiness going on, I did manage to enjoy the movie, and you've pretty much covered exactly why.
I was usually pretty meh about movie!Ron and Rupert, because most of the time he was just the comic relief and made silly faces. I LOVED him in this one, though. FINALLY he had something to work with, and I thought he was GREAT. Funny, drama, romance...he pulled everything off wonderfully. Definitely my favorite movie!Ron.
Also, I've always liked Hermione, but was meh about Emma because she was always too much AHHHHHHHHH for me. She'd always shout and be OTT and her eyebrows would go all crazy. But I really liked her in this. She was MUCH better - all 3 of them have gotten much better at acting over the years tbh, which is another reason why I loved this movie, especially when it was trio centered. So basically they were all great and I LOVED their interactions and it really felt like they've been BFFs through all these years. TRIO LOVE.
Oh, and like I've said before, I never really shipped anyone in HP, but this movie made me ship Ron/Hermione. They were just so :33 and <33 all the time, it was impossible not to ship them. Lovely.
The Tale Of The Three Brothers sequence was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, one of the highlights for me. A++ animation, it fit the story perfectly.
I teared up when Dobby died, even the douches laughing couldn't stop me from tearing up. omg he was amazing and then he died and he was happy to be with his friends and bawwww ;___;
I didn't expect the movie to end when it did, it felt short - I think it's because I finally managed to tune out the douches and really get into it, plus I missed the first 20 minutes... - so when it ended I was all '...wait, what. that's it? where's the rest of it...?' combined with 'NO REALLY, WHERE'S THE REST OF IT?? HOW DOES IT END, I DON'T REMEMBER OMG I'M GONNA HAVE TO REREAD THE BOOK I CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY' lol.
Oh oh, and last thing - YES, THE PAINTING ON LUNA'S CEILING, WHERE WAS IT??? I really don't remember most of DH, but THAT part I remember because I cried when I read it, it made me love her even more. :(
For years, I have wanted to torch Steve Kloves's office/house/whatever since right around PoA, when it became really, really clear that he saw the trio as Harry/Hermione and wait, I think I forgot someth--oh yeah hey that's Ron over there. :||| It was so amazing to see the Ron that I have always loved finally be on the big screen, to see Rupert kicking ass at portraying him. *draws hearts*
Emma was pretty good in SS, but lol oh gurl, not so much the rest of it. (At least it's been so great to see her grow up so beautifully!) I think all three of them reveled in just being around each other, in letting the trio dynamic come to life for real for the first time. And it felt like they have always known these characters inside out, and now that they're on equal footing when it came to material, every single one of them shone like they never have before.
I WANTED TO SLAP EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO LAUGHED AT DOBBY'S DEATH. OMG I couldn't understand why they found it so funny. Even if you haven't read the book, how can this creature - who has only ever tried to help Harry out - dying in Harry's arms be something hilarious? I hate people.
I don't know why Rupert/Ron kept getting shafted in the movies, such a waste! I'm happy he's finally been given the time to shine, and shine he did. :)
Heh, I was honestly distracted a few times thinking just how lovely she grew up to be. And I was also busy stanning her hair. It was long and pretty. /random Seriously, all 3 were just wonderful together. And I keep reading all these quotes from them about what it was like working together and the last day of filming and how sad they all are about everything ending, and my heartttt :') :'(
Dude, some of them kept laughing AT EVERYTHING. They laughed during sad parts, dramatic parts, and during funny parts...which you think the latter would be ok, but you know what it's like when you tell a joke, and the person laughs, and you're all 'yay, I made a funny \o/', but then they just KEEP LAUGHING AND KEEP LAUGHING that at some point you're like, 'umm, ok, it was funny, but it wasn't THAT funny...awkward'?? IT WAS LIKE THAT. ALL THE TIME. :|| So yeah, I definitely need to watch it again. Sis said she'd go with me, I'm just gonna wait 2-3 weeks till the crazy calms down in order to avoid that from happening again.
There's still time for pre-emptive grief before everything really ends in July, but for these kids - HP is literally all they've ever known - and I feel so sad for them. :(
Um, WTF, what is the point of paying for a ticket to sit in a movie theater just to be assholes? HOW RUDE.
They literally grew up together all these years, I can't imagine what it's like for them leaving this HP bubble and never working together again, never playing these characters again. :(
There were LITTLE KIDS there too. And when I say little, I don't mean 10 year olds - I mean LITTLE like 4-5 year olds. Who the hell takes their 5 year old kid to watch Deathly Hallows?? THEY DON'T KNOW ENGLISH. THEY CAN'T EVEN READ (HEBREW SUBTITLES) YET. I. DON'T. GET. IT. :|
That's a depressing thought - if the fans feel sad about the movie franchise coming to a close, I can't even imagine what the cast and crew feel like. D:
There were little kids in my theater too! Sitting with their nannies and chewing loudly and going to the bathroom every half hour. :| LOOK AT YOUR LIFE, LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES, PARENTS. You are awful.
ALSO. I'm so sorry your theater experience was so awful. LIKE I SAID, PEOPLE SUCK. >:( I really hope you get the chance to see it again in the theater. <333
Like I told patmeal up there, they laughed at EVERYTHING. They laughed, and talked, and walked around the theater, and were just generally obnoxious.
I think most people behaved themselves during Dobby's death scene, but I did hear some people giggling, and I wanted to go all, "BITCH YOU WISH YOU WERE AS FIERCE AS DOBBY, NOW STFU AND STFD" on them. =\
