I have always been prickly when it comes to H/Hr vs R/Hr - I can't help it, it was ingrained in me when I first found the fandom 10 years ago - but good lord, people can be AWFUL about that stuff. So much smugness and general assholery everywhere, and I don't need more than small glimpses of it on my Tumblr dash to be turned off completely. I feel bad for those people, actually, that they're so focused on their "side" "winning" and they can't see the full gloriousness of the trio right in front of them. They were truly amazing, all three of them, and I'm so glad it finally happened - all of them on equal footing - even if it's 6 movies late. It's always been about the trio for me: their love and loyalty and so much goddamn courage.
Dan's always done a good job of balancing it for me so that he doesn't look like an emo teenager who needs a reality check.
YES OMG YES. I think it's easy to forget how awesome Dan is because he's always there, and he's always been pretty good, but it's so obvious that he loves the character so much, he has so much respect for everything that JKR has built, and he's carried all of that so gracefully. And beyond being a fantastic actor, he's an amazing person, too.
The wand-raising in HBP brought me to tears, but yeah, I do feel cheated that we never got Dumbledore's funeral. I guess they couldn't figure out how not to make it melodramatic? I can't imagine that they cut it out for time or whatever. D:
