It's finally ending, Harry
Blue Kitty:
So I saw the movie yesterday and had a pretty good time. Don't quite remember the last book though so I couldn't compare.
TinPenguin:
Watched it tonight. It was pretty good. Even split into two films, I always knew it was going to seem rushed; there was just such a density of important information and events in the book, so I can't fault them for leaving out a couple of semi-significant plotlines.
The visual effects were fantastic, and the Hogwarts battle was spectacularly done. Mostly good performances all round - Daniel Radcliffe still can't act, though.
pwhodges:
I particularly liked the dragon; also the fire in the room of requirement. Overall a decent end to a series that was always going to feel a bit unsatisfying in comparison with the books.
IMMANotListening:
So I took my sister to watch it today, seeing as she also loves Harry Potter albeit more than me despite not having grown up with it as I have.
Speaking strictly for the film in continuity with the seven previous film, it was pretty good. The visual effects were fantastic, I didn't mind that close to nearly 80% or so of the film was dedicated to the Hogwarts battle because that's pretty much the highlight and climax of the series. Looking back now when there was a reaction to the fact it was going to be split into 2 parts - there is no way that it could have condensed and gutted into a 2 and a half hour epic. I also liked that they subtly aged the main cast for the epilogue rather than bring in new actors to portray them older (although Draco doesn't look like he's aged well at all). So yeah, great movie.
But as a fan who grew up with the series from start to finish, I liked it but I just felt it could have been so much more. I think, personally, that the series has always fell a little short of what it could have been. To be fair, I know it is not possible to fit every single small detail about particular characters or events but...the way the finale was done to bring the Harry Potter universe to an end was only satisfactory at best. It was nice to see so many characters get a decent hero shot though. A very fitting ending to the end of era.
