Very, very well done. They've improved on the lore and society of the wizarding community exponentially; very small things but it adds up to give a much more compelling world. In a word everything was brilliant.

A word of warning though, from those who read the books and are anticipating this. [SPOILER] There's no huge battle over Hogwarts; I know, I was looking forward to it intensely but it never happened. In all though it fits well with the rest of the film and the time constraints; the death eaters strike quick and then make their getaway without taking on the entire school; but fuck all, I wanted to see some death eaters bleed[/SPOILER].

Are you kidding me? It sucked. It was a teenage romantic comedy with some magic thrown in.


Btw, SEVERUS SNAPE FOR WORLD EMPEROR.

Challenge any creationist to a debate.
They'll run away and aggressively accuse you of "attacking" them and their "beliefs".
I'm sorry, please, keep teaching our kids that they'll burn in hell if they don't believe. Mutilate their genitals against their will while you're at it. Keep influencing politics and holding back vital scientific research.
I'll just keep my mouth shut to "respect" your "beliefs".

[SPOILER]There was also one other thing that I was surprised about. When Drako confronts Dumbledore he just says that if he fails Voldmort would kill him. Really his whole immediate family would have been murdered if he failed, if I remember the book right. That would have made his position considerably more compelling, in that his parents were also in mortal danger, not just him[/SPOILER].

I'm disappointed about the same thing, and my mate really was. Bit of an anti-climax. Rest of it was pretty good though.

Typing in black for potential spoilers...

[SPOILER ALERT]I don't like the way they did Dumbledore's death. Wasn't accurate to the book at all. As Harry is below Snape comes up to him and puts his finger to his mouth? I thought that was stupid. The way in the book was much better. I wish they would stick to the book more often. The only part I did like about this scene was the "Severus, please" by Dumbledore and how they paused and looked at each other before Snape dealt the killing blow.

Was also hoping they would put the funeral in there.

And is my memory misleading me, or was the part at the Burrows when Bella and Greyback set it on fire made up?

Also, the Dark Mark was at the school before Harry and Dumbledore arrive, not caused by Dumbledore's death.

Oh well I guess I just expected it to be too much like the book.
[/SPOILER]

Argument I long agree with for all films. After all, you only get to watch the film once before you've seen it, so who gives a fuck if staying by the book makes it several hours long? I for one wouldn't give a shit.

It especially ruins films like LoTR and so.

meh, 6 is more of a story filler for 7. it was more comedy and story leading up to the *SPOILER* horcruxes/battle at hogwarts */SPOILER* than anything else.

*SPOILER* the battle takes place across pretty much all of the end of book 7(deathly hallows) and harry joins the fight just in time when he blows up all the horcruxes if i remember correctly. the skirmish that happened with malfoy/death eaters at the end of 6 was not the big battle. */SPOILER*
