QUOTE(tcunningham @ Jul 15 2009, 03:44 AM)  lol, the more I think about it, I was disappointed. Also, the beginning, was different than all the others. I know. 10 minutes into it I was thinking "hmm.. the beginning is a little rough, but I know it will get better. It has to." edit: moar rant: I was under the impression that 50 bajillion people were going to die in this movie, BUT ONLY ONE PERSON DIES?! WTF?! I THOUGHT RONS MOM WAS GONNA KILL BELLATRIX! (thank god she didn't, she's my favorite part of the movie, but I was expecting it to happen and it didn't -.-) |

 I'm really sad. I was so hyped up for this and I'm disappointed too. The first half, I didn't mind the minor cutting of parts, but at the end!? wtf. so sad. and the random scene at the Burrow. WTF WAS THAT?! Use that screen time for something more important, argh. |

This effin sucks, I wished the Battle of Hogwarts would be shown... but it's being delayed.
The burrow attack scene was suppose to be some sort of connection build up between Harry/Ginny and Remus/Tonks. Just a filler to add to the storyline. f*ck, the seventh book is a two part movie. I wonder what the first part is going to be.. |

i COMPLETELY agree steph! i was like, why do i not remember this?
i didn't remember all the details from the sixth book, but here were a couple of parts that i was really mad about: i wanted to see that gaunt family memory. i also thought it was so strange at the end where they made it look like harry just let dumbledore die without trying, WHICH WAS NOT WHAT HAPPENED AT ALL WTF. they should have shown that he was immobilized. oh and the movie was so incredibly cheesy with all that romantic stuff. |

I liked the funniness, but they went a little overboard, imo. and, actually, I had no idea that they all died in the 7th one.. I didn't read a word of the book  I just saw a bunch of spoilers in the 2 effin years that it took for this movie to come out -.-but it would be nice if someone could say what the book was really about. That would be nice. |

Reading isn't my thing... I'm horrible at it. It's extremely hard for me to read a page without daydreaming about something and then coming back to reality and seeing that I've read 10 pages...... and I don't remember 1 thing about what I've read cuz I wasn't paying attention. That happens to me for all books.. regardless of how good they are. I can't stay focused :(

Well, I watched it without reading, and my favorite part of the movie was the whole idea of the horcruxes. Those were so effing cool. now i'm sure the last 2 movies will be about harry, ron, and hermione (I ALREADY MISS DUMBLEDORE! -.-) going to find them all... BUT, something about the movie was confusing.. they didn't explain this AT ALL.. what is the half-blood prince? Harry finds a book in potions class saying "zomgz advanced potions.. belonged to half-blood prince." and it has the spell "sectumsempra" written in it, and he tries to use it against snape, and snape is all like "beetch! don't use my own spells against me! ya.. dats right. i'm the half-blood prince!" but I just thought that was so random because they spend a full 0 seconds explaining what the significance of that was.... OH, and does anyone know who R.A.B. is? |

I can't stay focused :( okay, i see no point in putting the stuff that is already known in the books from a loooong time ago in spoiler tags so FORGIVE ME lol. yeah, regarding the horcruxes, that's exactly what they do in the seventh book. the half-blood prince is snape and that was his copy of the potions book when he was doing all those spells himself. harry just accidentally got that copy. but yeah, that was another thing i was mad about- they didn't establish snape as that character and didn't put any significance on it. r.a.b. is regulus black. i think if you put some effort into it, you could do it. honestly, they are the best books. ever. and i'm sure you guys will enjoy it just fine! i was/am just mad or whatever. |

 i am so pissed right now. my whole day was ruined because of David Yates craptastic version of HPB. this is the penultimate movie and he didn't do it justice. there's no going back after this. it started off so well and then it just went down the crapper all too soon. they left out so many important details in the story and this is not the time to be doing things half assed. they didn't explain the horcruxes well enough (wtf, the ring?), a lot of Tom Riddle's story was left out, THERE WAS NO FUNERAL FOR DUMBLDORE, and there was no explanation for what happened to Aragog. not to mention, the final battle at the end where DA and the deatheaters rumble was lamer than lame. i can get over the fact that too much time was spent on over dramatic Hermoine's reaction to Ron and Lavender (wtf, the birds?) and the lame scene with Harry and Ginny in the Room of Requirement. but there's no excuse for the lack of details in this one. i will give credit to Tom Felton 'cause he was awesome. Draco's struggle with his task was portayed well. i did like what they did with the Pensieve scenes that they actually decided to share.grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

^ I KNOW!!! apparently they left out the last battle scene due all the battle scenes in the last two movies. wtf wtf. haha i knew that birds thing was going to be in there-that was like the one exact part they got from the book. i totally agree with what you said about tom felton. he was my favorite in this one. and bellatrix.
