Not my daughter, you bitch!

I don't know how many thoughts I have, but the ones I do have, I want to get out before I forget them.

Overall: I loved it.

There are, of course, many things to nitpick, like how they made up the scene where Harry reveals himself to Snape at Hogwarts, but I won't do that.

* God, this movie was PRETTY. Even if I find Radcliffe's face a little bit wonky, all of the close ups were great. Except they reminded me of how I'm annoyed that they never made him wear green contact lenses.

* OH! The camera when the trio was changing after jumping off the dragon and into the water, I thought that was a really cool shot. (And BOY ARE THEY PALE.)

* I'm quite QUITE glad that most of this movie focused on the Battle of Hogwarts stuff, because that was my favourite part in the book.

* I cried three times: first was when Harry walked in and saw the dead bodies (see below), second was during Snape's backstory ("After all this time?" "Always.") and the third was when Harry uses the resurrection stone and talks to his parents, Sirius and Remus. WAHHHHH I got pretty emotional and I think I was actually shoulder-heaving.

* Fred's death: by far the saddest part for me in the book. While I understand (I guess) why they cut out that whole scene in the movie, I think I missed it. I'm sad that's Fred's send off in the movie was basically, "oh, right, Fred's dead... and so are Lupin and Tonks." BUT GOD, THE WEASLEY'S FACES. UGH. SO HEARTBREAKING.

* NEVILLE FUCKING LONGBOTTOM. I FUCKING LOVE THAT KID. The whole movie I was waiting for the moment when Neville kills Nagini and for a while I thought it might not happen and I was like WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY? AND THEN IT HAPPENED AND HE MOTHERFUCKING SWOOPED IN LIKE A BADASS MOTHERFUCKER AND TOOK THE SNAKE'S MOTHERFUCKING HEAD OFF. GOD IT WAS SO BADASS. I also loved pretty much every other Neville scene.

* Also badass: Mrs. Weasley. The theatre clapped when she killed Bellatrix. Also also badass: Minerva McGonagall. I want to be her when I grow up.

* I feel like the movies sorely underused Luna. :( This movie was no exception. I feel like she was shoved in at some points just to remind us she was there. I would have loved to seen more of her. One of my favourite scenes in all of the books is when she commentates quidditch. I'm sad that never made it into the movies.

* OH MY GOD HOW LOLARIOUS WAS THE END SCENE. The make up was just SILLY, and Ginny had ridiculous hair. Ron and Hermione looked not even five years older and we were supposed to buy them having kids older than Harry's, lol. OH GOD DRACO'S BEARD. It was terrible. SO MUCH LOL. The whole theatre was cracking up.

I think that's all. Neville Longbottom, guys.
