Just got home like ten minutes ago. I went the wrong way, TWICE, so I could have been back sooner. *sigh* 435 is so fail. I mean, if I go on 435 S, one would infer that I would return on 435 N, but...no, it's west

Dumbledore was Gandalf. He looked like Gandalf, for starters, but then...he does the fire trick with the Inferi, and it looked JUST like Gandalf with the fire dragon dealy thing in Fellowship. Completely.
Best. Part. ngl
Also, I was impressed by how well the film stuck to the dialogue from the cave, pre-Inferi scene. I remember tearing up reading the book when Harry was forcing "this potion that must be drunk, Harry!" upon Dumbledore and he was pleading with Harry to stop. I felt a fragment of that during the scene, which is enough for me.
Considering all of the Ginny & Lavender fail. Speaking of Character Assassination, I pretty much wanted to do away with both of them. Ginny was this floating, shove-it-down-their-throats foreshadowing to the fail that is Ginny and Harry's arranged marriage. Lavender was an irritant, and not even amusing or bearable as she was in the novel. Grr.
I liked the red sea-esque wall of fire he made to get out. Niiiice. Oh, but I didn't like how all the kids were suddenly using wandless magic all the time...they really needed to learn that, first...
Ugh, yeah. Ginny did not need to be in every damned scene. All it did was emphasize the fact that she's really not in the loop. She was conspicuously absent at the end when Harry was talking about his plans. Talk about a fail relationship.
And Lavender was hilarious in the book, not so in the movie...she should have really tortured Ron. I mean, he deserves it.
YES. TRUE FACTS. This movie totally confirmed my Draco/Luna tendencies. Because he needs someone to love him, poor boy, and Ginny just isn't good enough anymore.
OK, so, oddly, I liked the movie. Minus the Ginny fail. But I enjoyed hackling her freakishly small head and attempts to be sexy in the room of requirement. I liked the subtle bits of humor through the movie, too. The "skin" talk was funny, and Ron's love potion was freakn hilarious. Of all the actors in that movie, seriously, Rupert Grint I think has the most complicated part and he does a fabulous job with it. I was also happy they kept Luna's hat in. All the Luna scenes were epic. She's the perfect Luna. Lavender was totally not what I expected, but she did a good job. Hermione/Ron was complete fail. The only blatant anti-H/Hr was when Dumbledore asks Harry and he says no. But notice through the movie - Harry spends more time with Hermione than anyone else. All the times they were talking, when he was comforting her, the library...come on! Perfect H/Hr building points. And, as said, Ginny/Harry was fail. WTF was that when she tied his shoes? That's fucking hero worship, not love. Ginny's a fucking pussy. And ugly to boot. Did I

I kind of feel like the shoe-tying was rather...Molly Weasley-ish. And I'm wondering if they're setting her up to be his girlfriend or his mother.
But you're right, this movie did highlight all the reasons H/Hr is so much better as a relationship than either H/G or R/Hr. Who does Harry talk to about his problems? Who calls him on his bullshit? Who looks out for his best interest? It's always, always, always Hermione.
And she deserves sooo much better than Ron. What a douchenozzle.
SHERLOCK HOLMES. I got that one, too (I think my theater had every preview, ever) and I'm sooooo sad I have to wait for December. I need me some RDJ NOW.
lol, the shoe-typing was 100% Molly Weasley. Hermione would never tie his shoes, she'd tell him to do it himself before he tripped down the stairs and did Voldemort's job for him. That is why Hermione is epic.
I just blissfully thought LALALALA whenever the canon pairing were pushed in our faces and held onto the Harry/Hermione moments because they are perfect, perfect I tell you!! And it's not like Harry vehemently declined interest in Hermione...he just said they weren't dating. It's because he's intimidated by her awesomeness and settles for the easy choice...who is also easy to get into her pants - Ginny.
I'm pretty positive that in the fail!epilogue, Harry was only with Ginny because he wanted a family and given her history, there's no doubt she'd be a baby making machine. Now he just stays with her for the kid's sake. When the last one graduates, he and Hermione are totally running away together to an island where they'll have babyless sex until they die. At least, that's my version.
I forgot to mention on the subject of Snape - the only part where I was really just like, "Whaaat?" was when he was all, "Yes, I am the Half-Blood Prince!" I loled. Just...waaay melodramatic there. But like I said to someone else, I think that's more a problem with JKR's lame plot device than Alan Rickman.
Lol, yes, Harry is just too intimidated to even think of getting into Hermione's pants. When he's older and wiser, he and Hermione will totally be banging in Ministry broom closets while Ron and Ginny go on obliviously coming up with horrible names for their children.

But the WORST, was when Ginny TIED HARRY'S SHOE. I just. I still don't know what that was about?
I know, I was like, are we setting her up to be his girlfriend or his mother? Because that's kind of creepy and Oedipus-y.
