I was disappointed with the movie, everything seemed lacking... the emotion, the feeling that this was the penultimate movie, was absent... sure the younger actors seem to be giving their all in terms of acting (especially Rupert), they unfortunately pale in comparison to the brilliant older cast (even the "polyjuiced trio" in the ministry were amazing)

Bonnie gave an ok performance with what little screentime she was given, but the supposedly tender moment between ginny and harry was made sloppy by the awful camera angles

The editing of the movie was sloppy-- there was emphasis on weird moments in the movie, like when Hermione was about to obliviate the death eater in the diner, what was the dramatic camera panning and music for? he's inconsequential compared to dobby dying which was ruined by Luna's comment about closing dobby's eyes. what could have been an amazing visual of harry manually digging dobby's grave while voldemort is obtaining the elder wand from dumbledore's grave could have been made more dramatic--and ironic in the sense that harry is honoring dobby while voldemort is desicrating dumbledore's grave. the small ironies in the book are lost-- and while the movie essentially followed the narrative of the book, i'm still left with the feeling that they didn't give the book justice

saw this from other forums and I would have to agree. I'm sorry, since you're asking what we think about DH but i hope this kind of review is acceptable here, both sides of review. it's always like that and it's more of the cut of the scenes and the editing. i was always like, 'just like that?' they cut it just like that and move on? if I weren't a reader of this wonderful book, i wouldn't understand it give me a hanging question what did happen or what was that.
i wouldn't complain from ginny cos she's not really much on the book, but i hope they gave justice really for h/g with those small scenes because they focus more on hermione's lovelife and not harry which is supposed to be whole point of the title "harry potter" how he survived is because of love which dumbledore was talking about for the whole cannon thing.

But i think all of them did awesome job as far as acting, especially rupert. So, you're the man, Rupert!
