DH1

We saw the movie - at the midnight premiere, naturally - and even brought the uke for the 2-hr. waiting-in-the-seats pre-funk.  We even got a few people to la-la-la with us.

Here are some of our thoughts.

SPOILER

ALERT

IF

YOU

HAVEN'T

READ

THE

BOOKS

IN

WHICH

CASE

SHAME

ON

YOU.

ANYWAY ....


I LOVED Hermione's scene at home, Charity Burbage, the 7 Harrys, the fight in the cafe, Xenophilius, the super-rad art for the Three Brothers, the charms to hide the camp, the scenery, the elves, the acting by the adults who played the polyjuiced trio at the ministry, the sword and the silver doe scene, the high pitch whenever a horcrux was around, Bathilda Bagshot, Bellatrix's hair that drifted on to Hermione, Shell Cottage (so far), Dobby (of course), and the final scene at Dumbledore's tomb.

I HATED the lack of emotion for Hedwig and Moody, barely an elusion to Tonk's knocked-up status, the total lack of chemistry between Harry and Ginny, not enough wedding, not seeing the memorial with letters at Godric's Hollow, no Dean, no headstone for Dobby (here lies a free elf), Greyback not scary enough
