Harry Potter Again

I figured we'd take care of that right now since the movie's out. Saw it last night at a midnight screening, almost didn't due to my friends being asshats and not managing to get there until about 11:15, and the theatre we went to, despite showing it on six screens sold out nearly five theaters and the one we got seats in was already so packed we had to split into two pairs just to get seats.
I think this one definitely translated to film better than most of the others so far, but its got a lot of problems with it too. One of the guys who went with us had never seen any of the movies or read any of the books (yeah, under a rock) and had absolutely no fucking clue what was going on, ever. He's a pretty bright guy so I think that makes this only a movie accessible to followers of the complete story so far. Which while I think is a flaw I realize it probably won't impact sales too bad since nearly everyone in this country in fact has seen at least the movies so far.
I also think that there wasn't a goo leadup until the climax. I mean, it was pretty much teenage love drama for about 30 minutes after the last plot point, then all of a sudden it was "Okay Harry let's go ohh giant rock in the ocean OMG DEAD". I mean, the movie really just seemed to make it look like it came out of absolutely left field.
I did enjoy it though, even though I think everyone in the audience that clapped after the movie was over should have their pinkies broken.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF the ending. The whole movie was paced well and done well, and then they get to the end and it's just DUMBLEDORE'S DEAD OH THIS PLACE IS PRETTY. End of film. I am angry.
However the rest of the movie was incredibly funny and done quite well. Little things here and there that made me a little ticked off but not major. Now I just want to see Deathly Hallows even more eeeeeeeee.

Okay I don't understand why the Burrow had to catch on fire. I'm fine with the movies not completely matching the books and all, and I guess they were just trying to deepen the drama of the Harsh Times in the harry potter world, but why they chose to do that makes no sense to me. The Weasley house is supposed to have the same protection as Hogwarts.
Anyway I actually enjoyed this film, which is not something I could say for any of the other HP movies I have seen. My favorite part by far is when Harry says Sir

My favorite part was easily the Felix scenes. Radcliffe completely fucking nailed how I've always imagined that part.
"And..you know...the pincers...snip snip."
I really want to see a movie about Daniel Radcliffe playing a drunk now.

Ok, the only parts I'm rather upset with being left out are all the other memories, which are pretty important (especially where they lead up to what the other horcruxes would be), and the funeral, mostly because I agree with Liz and thought the "THIS PLACE IZ PERTY" was kinda dumb.
END SPOILER
Other than that, the film was pretty great. The Felix scene and Ron's love potion scene were hilarious, Lavender was creepy as hell, Malfoy was pretty damn good, and though he wasn't quite what I imagined the character to be, Slughorn was pretty darn good as well.
