So I LITERALLY JUST LEFT THE THEATER

I am in love. David Yates normally ticks me off with these movies, but I know JK was more involved with this one (right) so I was less annoyed and more understanding of why things didn't happen like they should have or whatever was missing.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT MOVIE.

The dance <3
The fighting <3
Nagini </3 <3

Everything was kinda perfect, even though it was a little edited it was AWESOME. *deepbreath* My fingers hurt now. So I'll be back to edit things in a bit. I didn't mind that somethings didn't happen like Harry not being disguised, people would've gotten confused about that.

I love that my friend was sitting beside me asking questions (he doesn't read) and I was explaining. Made me feel like I was involved with the filming or something. I loved/hated/loved Bellatrix, shes crazy.

I LOVED THE TALE OF THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Was Tim Burton involved in this movie at all? Looked like it.

I loved every scene, the chase, the ministry, the everything. It was kinda perfect. I'm sure things were missing somewhere but I was too awestruck to notice much.

Nagini was CRAZY! great scene!!!!!

Alright I literally have to stop NOW

*post*

*Edit*

MAWD LINE dis did BAAAAD di whole adience was like BAP BAP BAP YEH YUTE!!

(translation: WOOOOOT WAY TO GO DOBBY)

Alright I'm having a bit of a battle with some people on another message board over this one particular detail.

MAD EYE'S MAGICAL EYE IN UMBRIDGE'S MINISTRY DOOR


Now, as we know in the book, Harry taking the eye once he sees it there is a major catalyst for them getting discovered in the ministry, this is completely changed in the movie. When Harry (as Runcorn) first approaches the door, they make a point of showing it (though without any real explanation) and upon him leaving, I was specifically looking for the detail if he'd still take it or not.

I say he absolutely took the eye, and while they changed the plot here, my best guess is Yates left it in as a wink to the fans. I've run into others who say he absolutely does not take the eye.

My evidence is that in that wide shot when Harry walks away from the door, the peep hole is completely dark, because the eyeball is now gone.

What say you guys?

I say it probably doesnt matter since the way they are discovered is Harry actually reveals himself and stuns Umbridge.

I do believe Harry took the eye, because yes, the spot it'd previously been in was left empty. Though they never really SHOW it again, the following scene before they leave, where Harry (or was that Hermione?) was tying something to the tree? I believe that was the eye.

So yes, while the eye wasn't what gave them away (and I think they changed this because non-book readers may not have understood the implication of them knowing due to the missing eye), I do believe Harry stole off with the eye.

Idk... When I saw it...er... the other day, I made sure to look for the eye, and when Harry as Runcorn left Umbridge's office and walked away, I saw the eye still there.

yeah i also recall still seeing Moody's eye still moving around when Harry/Runcorn walked away from Umbridge's door.

and that thing that Hermione tied around the tree, that was a scarf, that much i remember. whose scarf i cant remember. why would she even tie a scarf there i dont get it either. wasnt it because of that scarf that the snatchers found them later on in that area?

Mhm. Hermione tied her scarf around the tree. I think it was kinda to act as a sentiment to Ron. Because that was the place he left. I think.

What I loved about the movie was how they stuck to the book for the most part. The cinematography was simply superb! I enjoyed Hermione's anger on Ron And the best scene for me was Dobby's death. His last words were just amazing. I'm glad they stuck to the book for his last words too.

What I didn't like was that Wormtail was supposed to die. His magical hand was supposed to kill him right? That didn't happen in the movie. I wanted to watch that scene. Wanted Wormy to die. Sad that he didn't. But anyways, they did split it at the right time and right scene. I felt they did. An interview of Emma's just came out and she said that David Yates was planning on ending Part 1 before Dobby's death. That wouldn't have felt right, would it? So after Dobby's death and Voldemort finally possessing The Elder Wand, we have a much MUCH more to look forward to in Part 2

The scenes I want to watch the most in Part 2 are the battle scene at Hogwarts, Harry's long walk into the forest (Dan said he was looking forward to filming this scene the most in the whole of the 7th book. So I'd like to see how it came out), Hermione and Ron's kiss () and of course, the epilogue. The actors are being called back, one after the other, after they called the final 'cut' on the series back in June, to re-shoot some of the scenes from the epilogue (first the trio were called, then Tom Felton, and now even Matthew Lewis has been called.) So yeah.. I'm quite eager to watch the Part 2 of DH

Okay I'm still bugged by how exactly they were caught by the snatchers in the end, I'm kinda surprised not more people are talking about this. Obviously this was all changed from the book, in the movie Xeno says Voldemort out loud on purpose to fully summon the deatheaters to the house to get Harry, and they apperate out of there.

But so, how did that group of snatchers catch them in the woods just seconds later? None of them said the name again to trigger the taboo, and there's no way the trio could've been followed as they apparated, it's not like one of the DE's grabbed onto Ron's arm or something right as they vanished. So the only possible other explanation I can come up with is Hermione apperated the 3 of them to this spot in all of the woods where snatchers just happened to already be? are you kidding me?

Ok I’m sure I saw the actor who plays Wormtail (sorry forgotten his name) on a chat show, and he talked about Wormtail’s very nasty end. I’m also sure he mentioned something about the hand. So maybe it’s been moved to the second part which would be no travesty. I’m just hoping it hasn’t been cut out because it was deemed unsuitable or something.

I’m going to come back and talk about the film later because I just saw it today. Which I know is disgraceful for a fanatic such as myself, but between work and snow...and more snow this is the first chance I’ve had. But I have to say I absolutely loved the film, I just want to think about it a little bit more before commenting any more.

1) some pretty great and genuine acting, especially by Emma Watson
2) ending left off at a good part and definately makes me want to see part 2
3) action-packed, tense, and touching at the same time
4) loved the ministry scene, very well done
5) hermione and harry's bond added a new, positive face to the movie
6) fact that the characters were on the move the whole time gave us a needed break from the constant environment of Hogwarts in the previous movies
7) closely followed the book...very detailed
8) great camera work and special effects
9) AMAZING MOVIE OVERALL! CANT WAIT FOR PART 2!!!!!!

It's an A+. I love it, the effects were outstanding, the background music was cool, especialy the forest run. It didn't ran off from the book too much, and it was NICE, GOOD, OUTSTANDING, SPLENDID, AMAZING, and other synonyms for nice.

I'd give part 1 a high grade too because it was one of the better HP movies, a good bounce back movie for HBP.

I thought it was great

Okay I've asked this question in several different fan forums and haven't had an answer yet. In the book Snape knew that the trio were in the Forest of Dean because the portrait of Phineus Nigellus was in Grimmauld place and the Headmasters office. Until of course Hermione realized he would be able to move between his portraits and therefore be able to tell Snape where the trio were. Which of course he ended up doing IN THE BOOK. That is how Snape knew where to send the Doe patronus and where to put the Sword of Griffindor. IN THE MOVIE there is not a mention of the portrait just as there is no explanation in any way of how the Doe or the sword got to the Forest of Dean. How could Snape have known where to send them? I guess we're supposed to assume he put a transponder on them? (sarcasm)
