I guess I'm the only one who didn't have a problem with the ending... or any of the other stuff in HBP. Still, based on estimates, HBP did over 100 million, worldwide, on Wednesday but it doesn't look like it'll match Transformers 2 200 million domestic 5 day total... so Transformers 2 will pry be the biggest summer movie this year...
Actually, I didn't hate the ending. I thought it would have been perfectly fine if they had stopped with Hermione telling Harry he was an idiot if he thought they weren't coming with him. I did hate that "beautiful" line Harry has. I've known a lot of teenage boys in my time and none of them talk like that. It just lifts you out of the moment, and I don't understand why Kloves keeps doing lines like that.
Otherwise, I enjoyed the movie much more than some of the others.
Harry isn't like typical teenage boys though is he, even given the wizarding thing?
My focus though wasn't Kloves cheesy lines, but the image of Fawkes flying away from Hogwarts forever, the remnant from the funeral we didn't get, not that I didn't love the wands of light defeating the Dark Mark ;)
MY thought on Ron's pensiveness at the end was to clue into his worst nightmare come true from the Locket Horcrux in the next movie, but I could just be seeing something that isn't there if you know what I mean ;P
For the most part I thought it was okay. . . but I really wish they would have switched the Weasley Cornfield Flambe to a battle that actually happened and might have furthered the plot.
Kloves has always driven me crazy with his obsession with Hermione. I think he was better in this movie than in previous ones about it, but still. . . the end where Ron is sitting five feet away from H&H saying NOTHING while they make travel plans? Oy.
Yeah, like most of the movies, this one blew chunks. Large chunks. But yet I still watch them and am highly entertained, for some reason.
H/G kiss was way off. I mean, is there anything more epic and cinematic than the actual way they did it in the book? Why change?
Actually, I think there was serious Ginny character assassination. When she gave him that tart at Christmas, I kept expecting Harry to turn into a canary. But he didn't. I think Ginny was taken over by some weepy impostor.
