Honestly? I adored the movie...I was very upset there was no Dumbledore Funeral though.
You're not alone, a lot of people really liked it. Even in this post there are a lot differing opinions on it.
I too was really sad there was no Dumbeldore's funeral. But it goes along with the problems that I had about them focusing a lot of time on shit I didn't care about that much.
Bellatrix may have made this movie for me. Her level of crazy was so much fun...Laughing...Because Bellatrix felt the need to walk on one of the tables in the Great Hall and break all the china :)
This! I'm so glad that HBC got cast. She is consistently GREAT as Bellatrix. Every scene with Bellatrix just automatically becomes one of my favorites in the film because she is so good. And like you, I was totally giggling at all of Bellatrix's antics, even during parts where I knew I shouldn't be finding her so amazing. Her singing, trapsing through the woods and how gleefully she set Hagrid's on fire on really cracked me up even as I was all "Aw, Hagrid's cabin".
Harry on speed aka liquid luck was wonderful :D Harry needs to learn that drugs are bad.
Actually, I was thinking Harry needs to take more drugs. He was far more entertaining when he was high. When he was all, "Then by all means come along, Sir" I was like, 'ooh, I like spunky!Harry'. And DanRad's little 'pincers' movement cracked me up. And I was to say, I appreciate DanRad being able to poke fun at his height by having Harry like swinging his legs around on the stool like a three year old, lol.
I still personally think Nicole Kiddman would've been an awwwesome Narcissa. D;
Nicole Kidman would have been great. Nicole as Mrs. Coulter reminded me so much of what Narcissa should be. The only problem with her is that she would tower over HBC, even more so than McCrory did. That's why I'd through Naomi Watts name out as well. I think she would have been great too, she's got a Kidman-esque vibe about her, and she's about HBC's size, and a little bit younger than HBC. Honestly, I think almost any name you throw out there would have been better than what we got.
Um. Was the burning of the burrow even in the book? ...Poor Molly. :(
No, it wasn't in the book. I remember the beginning of Deathly Hallows takes place at the Burrow. And I totes agree, with "Poor Molly". I love Molly, and Julie Walters playing her. I'd totally love to hang out at the Burrow.
I think at the end of the last book Harry should've been married to some chick we never met....Maybe we could've avoided the catastrophe of names that was Albus Severus Potter then...
I like to pretend that the epilogue never even happened. At all. I thought it was awful. BUT, that being sad, I thought that Ron/Hermoine working out was way more implausible than Ginny/Harry. Ron/Hermione on a long term basis just blows my mind. I cannot for the life of me see them lasting together.
Thats how poor Tonks was in the first film in my opinion.
Yeah, Tonks was shafted in her first appearance as well. She'll be shafted in the next movie as well, as will Fleur (who was also wasted), and I'm deathly afraid that they're not even going to bother putting Andromeda in the script at all. Minor characters just do no fare well in this series unless they are part of one particular major event because there's just always too much stuff to cover.
Lavender Brown can stay far far away from me...I'd have fucking killed her.
I know. The fact that Ron went out with her for so long, just made my respect for him dip a lot (and there wasn't much of it to begin with). She was horrifying. The actress was really good though.
