Okay, I am probably one of the most obsessed people there is and have read each book between 2 and 5 times and know just about everything about it and thought it would be nice to have a discussion on the movie
My thoughts?
Ok I think they did a fair job in retelling the story but it had the potential to be spectacular and just didn't live up to expectations.
A few things that annoyed me
We never found out about the Dumbledore family history, We learnt so much in the book and it frustrated me that it wasn't in the movie
The whole hogwarts scene was different, for one he didn't go and face death alone, he said goodbye (makes it way less emotional), He didn't go to the ravenclaw tower to find out about the diadem, Grey lady scene was just not how i imagined it, he didn't go to face death under his invisibility cloak, when coming back to life he never was under the invisibility cloak and the mystery was gone, In the book harry and voldemort never jump off the cliff hugging each other
I was also disappointed in that we never really found out about the elder wands allegiance and why it wasn't working for him even after killing snape and how snape didn't defeat Dumbledore etc. The pensieve scene also missed a lot that i would have liked to see.
Finally, I think that they should have stuck to the ending when he repaired his wand and put the elder wand in Dumbledores grave rather than snapping it.
Epilogue, meh, didn't really like it, Ginny looked awful, Malfoy's wife was pretty, Hermione looked the same and the scene could have been better
Things I loved
All the cinematography! I have been critical of the plot but as a film it was a masterpiece, the special effects, soundtrack omg it was so epic!!!!
OMG OMG OMG OMG IT WAS FREAKING AMAZING I CRIED THE WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!
what did you all think?
