Seen the movie this afternoon and I gotta say, if part I is this good, Part 2 is going to be completely over the top!!
LIKES:
Seven potters: This was never a scene that I was real excited about but I am impressed on how it came off. One complaint...HEDWIG! ugh I was as devastated as I was when I read the book.
Even the aftermath was great, I'll say this too... ANYONE who was thinking this was a Harry and Hermione favored movie...look at the scene when Hermione looks at the real and Harry and another one coming towards her and she without hesitation goes to the one coming towards her and it turns out IT'S RON!! Completely adorable and I am utterely thrilled they kept "Always the tone of surprise." I was convinced they were going to cut that.

Actually I'll just say now that out of all the movies, Ron and Hermione were completely done justice!! The chemistry was amazing and the scene when Ron comes back to camp...PERFECT!! I loved him touching her cheek in the diner too. I've seen Rupert say ( in so many words) that their relationship really comes through in Part 2 and considering what we get to see in this movie, I cannot wait!

This isn't really a like but it's not a dislike either: The Harry/Hermione dance, I was prepared to hate because I did not want them to allude to anything that just flat out isn't there between the two but it came off really well and TOTALLY PLATONIC! Hermione's face falling at the end just shows how sad she was.

Ministry scene was fantastic! Mixed with a little bit of humor and alot of action. I didn't understand why Ron was last to transform back into himself but overall good.

The animation of the three brothers was quite cool, I must say. I don't think it would've helped the audience understand the meaning of the story with just Hermione reading it or explaining it.

Malfoy Manor. The scene with Bellatrix and Hermione was INTENSE and acted out beautifully.

Dobby...how could you not cry?

I actually really liked how the Burial scene was done, it seemed fitting it was just the trio doing it and Harry on his knees before the burial site and Hermione crying in Ron's arms.

DISLIKES:

Ok, looking out for the people who just watch the movies, I think the mirror shard could've been explained more.

The "bromance" scene with Ron and Harry was totally needed!! It's one of the best loved scenes in the book and it's shame it was left out, especially considering Rupert could've acted the you know what out of that scene.

Malfoy Manor... Again, why was Ron not portrayed as frenzied and desperate? It was shown he was concerned ( LOVED him coming back into the room after escaping the dungeon/basement) but the scene had so much more intensity in the book BECAUSE of Ron being desperate to save Hermione.
