I somehow forgot about all of the things that you mentioned here. The Harry clones were great, and I also cried for Dobby! I continue to find Ralph Fienne's Voldemort underwhelming, but that's probably just me, and the other Death Eaters made up for him in scary. Lucius was also very impressively haggard. I could definitely believe that he just spent time in jail with soul-sucking fiends.

I still think they should have let him have the red eyes. I think it really weakens the character not having them. I had been feeling exactly the same way about Fiennes' Voldemort (this is the man who played Amon Goethe, for god's sake! He should be able to pull off Voldemort!) But I thought he finally pulled it off during Deathly Hallows. Those moments when special effects weren't swirling round him were quite good. The table scene was chilling!
Yeah, Jason Isaacs looked like a broken man - he was great.
I think maybe the red eyes would have helped, but I still think it has something to do with his performance. I'm just not feeling that real aura of palpable and majestic menace. He did come off as very ruthless, though, in a real-life war criminal sort of way, and maybe that should be more terrifying.
Have you been seeing my entries? Because I actually didn't see your latest one on my f-list.
So you didn't find Voldemort scary as hell in the graveyard scene in Goblet of Fire? I love that scene, though mostly for Harry I guess... I love seeing the change in him when something snaps and he becomes more angry/determined than scared.
I haven't seen it yet so I don't want to know too much about it at the moment but I am intrigued to learn there that is a wedding in this film because Bill and Fleur were completely cut. So either they've been introduced into film!canon from nowhere or it's someone else's wedding (I'd guess Remus and Tonks).
why couldn't clever Hermione save him? (maybe something else I forgot from the books?) Hermione wasn't there in the book, she was inside the cottage recovering from being tortured by Bellatrix.
Ron kissing his "wife" Now I'm really intrigued by that. Ron didn't pretend anyone was his wife in the book as far as I remember. Unless this is part of the polyjuice bit.
Well now I'm not sure how to respond since you don't want to know too much!
So, er... don't read the rest of this comment if you don't want to know?
Bill and Fleur ARE in the beginning of the movie :)
So you noticed a difference between the movie and the book with Dobby's death! She was recovering but she was there, and Harry even pleaded with her to do something. Maybe she was just too out of it to figure out how to save him.
Yeah it was the polyjuice thing at the ministry when they go to recover the locket from Umbridge, I thought that sequence was quite well done and enjoyable to watch.
Not reading this just yet, since I won't be seeing it until at least sometime next week. Hopefully sooner rather than later. I've been hearing good things though and very much look forward to it. : )
Oh good! I expect a nice long detailed list of all the differences, then! (someone else on my f-list pointed out one that SHOULD have been glaring to me but I completely spaced it; I'm curious to see how many YOU will find)

My friend thought it dragged too, while I thought they glossed over a lot. Come to think of it, people said the same thing about the book.
Voldie was extra creepy, was it because he was smiling?

That's true, it's nice to be surprised about the things you forget!
I think it's cuz he just had so much more screen time? And the nose creeps me out

Unfortuantely, letting the details slip has also made me forget the order of some of the events. Hehe.
Yeah, I unearthed some of my old icons for this.
