I'm stealing your little pic thing because that was so me, sitting in my seat and crying while the previews were still playing, I was a total mess by the time the WB logo came on.
I like how awkward Voldemort hugs are on both your lists. My god, the ENTIRE THEATER just fucking lost it right there.
And pretty much agreeing with everything you said. McGooglypants was my favorite, and the dragon! What really got me, weird enough, was seeing Hogwarts on fire and everything. Because. IT'S ARCHITECTURE.
HARRY NOT FIXING HIS WAND BOTHERED ME SO MUCH KAFLSFK;LAFLF.
The other thing was we didn't get to see Percy come back. I haven't seen HBP or OotP so I don't know if they went through the whole family split thing in the movies, but I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. D:
I'd gone to the toilet at that stage and when I walked back in, the whole cinema was laughing and I was like, 'what the fuck would be funny at this part?'. Looked up on the screen and was like whaaaaat?
Hogwarts on fire was so heartbreaking!
LHNSDHPI RIGHT? I guess in movie canon he kept Draco's wand?
Yeah, they'd cut Percy's story from OotP. But he was actually at Hogwarts in this one, at the battle. Which I guess is a little thrill for book lovers.
Oh man, Voldemort is like the kind of boss who makes really bad jokes and writes all his memos in Comic Sans. THAT HUG. WHAT A WEIRD LAPSE IN OFFICE PROFESSIONALISM EVIL VILLAINY.
If I was still...twelve and a giant Harry/Draco shipper, I'd be going MAD over the wand stuff. HAHAHA.
I'm actually not a big movie person really (like, for all movies, not just HP). I was excited when the first few were released*, but by the time OotP and HBP came out, I wasn't really fussed about seeing them; I'd probably like them if I saw them now. I just finally hauled my ass over to the movies because DH1+2 were the last ones! (This was also my first midnight HP ANYTHING, which was exciting!)
*I still have the first movie on VIDEO CASSETTE. HA! And I used to keep a cutout of Rupert Grint in my diary when I was wee-er.
I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED WITH THIS MOVIE! Well that was my general feeling after leaving the cinema. I've seen it twice now and it was slightly less disppointing the second time round but perhaps this is just because I knew what to expect
( ... )
...Ron and Hermione going to get Basilisk fangs. It was supposed to be Rons brilliant idea!!! Hence Hermione kissing him :/
Harry's dad having pretty much no presence in the forest scene, and they all had a kind of stand offish vibe. What I wanted from that scene was just a warm and loving vibe and it just wasn't there. Also the inconsistancy that you pointed out about Harry knowing about Teddy. Like you this is a really emotional scene for me in the book but I think it was a little too empty on screen for my liking. It was nice to see Sirius again though.
I was pretty indifferent about the epilogue; I found it ridiculously cheesy in the book so it didn't really offend me when it was as cheesy on screen. Also I found Rons pot belly kind of adorable haha.
Anyway, pretty sure I've filled up enough space on your entry now lol. I just have so many feelings about it, and need to let them out and keep talking about it!
Oh and I forgot to say I agree with you about Voldemorts death. I think it looked really cool and was really dramatic and stuff but I was sort of looking forward to just seeing his body on the floor of the great hall, completely defeated.
I completely agree: I have no idea how you were supposed to competently follow along if you had not read the books. And even if you could...I don't know, watching it, all I could think was how I felt so sorry for people who hadn't read the books because they were missing out on some wonderful details.
Yeah, I'm not quite sure how Voldemort figured out about the horcruxes here. I mean, he felt them, but why then? Did he go into Harry's mind? IDGI.
Oooh yeah, okay, I do remember feeling a bit awkward that Harry barely looked at his Dad. He's such a Mama's boy.

Why haven't you seen OotP and HBP though?

I'm sorry you were so disappointed.
