	Watched it a little earlier, I found it great, although, I haven't read the books, which I may do. I'm just gunna put my whole thoughts into a spoiler. Spoiler:Thoughts I felt like they could of drawn out the battles a bit though. They were too short to satisfy my action needs tbh. After the final battle, it just cut to Harry walking through Hogwarts looking around, I felt like something was missing. After Harry killed Voldemort, I was expecting a rush of teachers and students and what not to flood out into the courtyard to see who the victor was. Nope, just jumped to it, no applause or 'victory cheer' of any kind. I guess it does fit in some way though. I also think that Kings Cross station during harry's 'death' was a bit out of place too. Ahwell. Last of all, I honestly think it was pitiful how the actors tried to be their older selves. It didn't work, Ginny looked the oldest tbh. Bearing in mind that I haven't read the books, some of the points my be waaaay off. -------------------

	quote The Living Angelus About my only complaint was these stupid bitches sitting right next to us that laughed at everything, and I mean everything that happened in the film. Many times it was inappropriate laughter during dramatic moments and the battles and it got annoying. But then I did laugh pretty hard at them when all the deaths occurred because they started bawling. Dumbasses. Ya, that happened in my theater as well. Here is a list things people laughed at: Spoiler:List -When everyone was staring at Longbottom during his speech -When Longbottom wakes up after getting launched by Voldermort. -Voldermort hugging Draco -Pretty much the whole epilogue. When they saw Harry, Hermoine, and Draco. Can't remember the rest. TLA, to go on what you said, we caused a rukus with fans. My friend tried to dress up as a Deatheater by wearing a robe and a stormtropper mask. People were pissed! lol. And another guy didn't even care so he wore a snowman mascot head with a cane and top hat to the midnight release. People were more confused than pissed haha. ------------------- Superhero Costumes

The fact that no one seemed to give much of a shit that THE DARK LORD had been killed was a bit shitty. That is, except Hagrid, who said "Arrr, well done 'Arry!" as if Harry had just caught a worm.

	Spoiler:. Also, in the film there's no explanation of how Snape knew where Harry was to give him the sword (indirectly, of course). Any mention or usage of the portraits in the Headmaster's Office is omitted. Edit: Jul 15, 11 4:00pm

	It was good, but I didn't get the full sense of satisfaction and catharsis that I had expected from the end of the Harry Potter series. I agree that I felt the battle scenes could have been drawn out and elaborated upon a little more. I also didn't much care for the changed ending either... would have liked to have seen them stay true to the book considering it was the end and everything.

	Well, that was a fitting end to the last 10 years of my life. Spoiler:Spoilers ndoabdiavsuBDOABDLAOabslNOD is all I can say. The film was amazing, and I know I'm bound to say it because of the fanboy that I am but taking it all into consideration it was a genuinely fantastic film. I do however feel that certainly things were left untold that needed to be said. For one, the fact that since Half-Blood Prince a magical taboo was placed on the word 'Voldemort' and if I remember correctly if the person said 'Voldemort' they could be instantly located. I think the fact that was left out of the films reduced the impact when Minerva said "His name is Voldemort. You might as well say it because he's going to try and kill you anyway". I also felt that the fact that one of the horcruxes was Hufflepuff's cup, so much emphasise was placed on Raveclaw's lost diadum that a lot of people who have read the books had forgotten about the cup and those who hadn't wouldn't have a clue on the importance of the cup in LeStrange's vault other than the fact that it was a horcrux. No meaning was given as to why it was chosen as one. Other than those two details, the film was brilliant and definitely did Rowling and the entire franchise justice. 12 publishers turned down Rowling, but guess whose laughing now? ------------------- Featured Forums: Doctor Who ~ Super Mario 3D World ~ Tales of Xillia ~ General Playstation 4 ~ Pokémon X & Y ~ The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Featured Wikis: Knack ~ Witcher 3 ~ Pokémon ~ Smash Bros ~ The Division

	I was fortunate enough to go to a midnight premiere last night. Me being a huge Harry Potter fan, it's inevitable that I'll say this was a truly amazing and wonderful film. From beginning to the end, I was on the edge of my seat, even though I already knew what would happen (having read the books last summer). And then the ending credits started rolling, and I teared up a bit. But what really got me was: Spoiler: Snape's death. Seeing Nagini repeatedly snap at him was unbearable for me. Same with the flashback scene where Snape is holding Lily. I'm just lost for words at that. Last night was probably the greatest night in my fifteen-year-old life. I had tons of fun hanging out with all of my friends, people watching and seeing all of the great costumes, and seeing the best Harry Potter movie of all. ------------------- The dirt whispered, "Child I'm coming home."

I enjoyed the series but certainly am not a fanboy. For some reason I'm more critical of mainstream films like this and Transformers, Batman, every comic remake etc. Probably because everyone seems to rave about them, and I can't see why. This film was bloody amazing. Best in the series and an amazing ending to, as you said, 10 years of our lives (or whatever it was). It's good to be at the age where you grow up with the characters and are within 5 years of their age. The films obviously grow in maturity with the characters, and their main audience all those years ago. Spoiler:Spoiler That was Hufflepuff's cup? I had no idea. Was that even mentioned? ------------------- Currently Playing: Dark Souls (PS3) Latest Review: Final Fantasy VI (PS1) [8.5/10] “A very average addition to a great series"
