I think my overall reactions are not particularly spoilery, for a film adapted from a well-known book, so, outside the cut ( Read more... )

It was the Trio!Hugging that got me. Damnit, I love when boys they hug.

They really were a unit. Even Ron's departure and return felt like it was just part of Ron's Hero's Journey, you know?

Oh man, I didn't miss Hogwarts at all in this one. Too much of the pretty scenery to look at, and I loved seeing Godric's Hollow and Shell Cottage and the Forest of Dean and all that.

See, I feel like I can get scenery from any non-HP quest story. For HP I want a school story! I want the familiar structure at which Rowling is so masterful. So that's why DH was a problem for me from first go.

The cinematography was just lovely, though. Really great in IMAX!

I totally thought of you as I was watching Jason Isaacs as beaten down!Lucius. Makes me want to read fic of him from that period.

And Neville totally rocked!

Awwww! And I loved watching Lucius try to hide how broken a man he'd become. Still plenty fierce, though.

If that scene doesn't inspire fiction, nothing will.

I am dreading that damn camping trip. I only read the book once because I was so disappointed in it and I have forgotten most of it except how dull and dragged out that DCT was.

At least it's better being shown it than it is being told about it. Visually watching the angst is more engaging, I can say that for it. And the acting's good. (Look at me, defending it. :D Well, I guess I do want to make the point that the film did the best it could with what it was given. A lot like HBP IMHO.)

Lucius all broken and desperate and too terrified of Voldemort's legilimency to plot revenge for what he has do e to his PimpCane! And his home and family, too.
And Draco protecting Harry and their silent eyefucking communications show how desperate both of them are.
And in July we do get to go back to Hogwarts, so there's that to look forward to.

All kinds of love for the silent communications. Or whatever we want to call them. Yeah, they so want each other
