Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2!

[lilacmermaid]

The Harry Potter movie franchise has come to a very successful end. As I'm writing this, it currently has 97% at Rotten Tomatoes, it has taken in a record-breaking $168 million at the box office, and there is (very early) talk of it being considered for a couple nominations come awards season.

What did I think?

You know, Pottermore sounds like a giant version of hogwartsishome, which I've been bugging you to join forever

It's silly that I never did join that community, because I've had my application thing more than have done for forever! I'm excited about the news about the sorting and the wand and everything on Pottermore, but mostly what I'm looking forward to is the backstories she's going to be posting. Even for the Hogwarts Express, I heard, or something about how they got to school before the train existed. I can't wait!

I didn't notice that about Lily's eyes hehe. I'll have to watch out for that next time. But in any case, the line felt a little ... I don't know, clunky or something. They didn't need it.

I'm hoping/expecting that there will be a lot of deleted scenes released later for this movie. I know that they had cast someone to play Augusta Longbottom, and I was sure Kreacher was going to be in this one as well. Maybe Fred's death will be shown there too? But even if it is, it won't be in front of the trio like it is in the book.

How'd you like the epilogue?

It is silly that you never joined that community. There's still time! ;)

I would LOVE to see Augusta Longbottom!

I thought the epilogue was okay, but I'll admit I was distracted by how weird it was to see the characters in their aging makeup. I was never a huge fan of the epilogue (I'm glad they get their happy-ever-after, but the whole thing just felt a bit too contrived for me), but the movie did a good job with it.

Keep an eye out for my application! :)
