I laughed, I cried, and I was a bit sad when it ended.

It was my favorite of them all, and was visually amazing, they really went all out and did a great job. If you are a Neville Longbottom fan you will LOVE this movie. Finally, Alan Rickman needs Actor of the Decade award.

When she summons the knights and says "I have always wanted to use that spell.", "The death of Belletrix including Ma Weasley saying "Not my daughter...", and the epic visual of Neville killing Nagini with the sword were easily my favorite parts.

Its interesting - did you read the book? Those were my favorite parts reading it, and while they were great on the film I still felt a little underwhelmed. I guess theres no way the movie could have ever really reached my expectations ... but otherwise it was a great film.

Yes I read the books and those were typically my favorite parts too.

No movie can ever really hold up to the book, because of the intimate nature a book can give to the reader. Your own imagination paints a picture that is hard to be bested by another person(s) imagination. Also, movies can't afford in price or in time to show all the filler/character development that makes us love the characters and the world they are in.

I am going to wait about 2 weeks to go see it as I hate theaters.
Neville was my favorite character from the books by far. I love how J.K. took him from mealy mouthed wimp to pissed off certified bad ass.

I never really cried during movies(or at all for that matter) until I had daughters. Now it doesn't take much to make my eyes rain terror on my face. Hell, even some commercials now can make me tear up.

Nothing wrong with crying, Trikki is just biologically malfunctioning

If Harry Potter makes you cry, you should truly insure that you have the proper XX chromosomes.

Too many of the extremes. Either the thug gangsta asshole criminals, or the Nancy boys. Gosh, what happened to society? I know, I'm the one that's jaded. :p

Saw it yesterday at the early matinee; shared the theatre with 5 others, and being first I got the choice seat!

The whole presentation was excellent, from music to camera-work to the varied actors. I think they did a great job of including most of the key scenes the fan base would have howled about missing, and I loved watching Mrs. Weasley dueling. (That is really not a spoiler)

Sure, I would have liked another 20-30 minutes added in to more fully end the story, but I was satisfied.

I am not sure we will ever see the like again; a talent like J.K. Rowling comes along only every so often.

manscaped? Have you seen my beard? Its kinda burly these days.

I have no problem admitting the few times a movie has brought me to tears. Green Mile for example, the final scenes dude, you might not be human if those don't get at ya a little.

If you liked the Green Mile movie Grey, you should read the books. It's a series of 6 books (each between 90 and 120 pages) by Stephen King. The last 100 or so pages of the final book (it's the longest book at about 150 pages) had tons of tears in my eyes.

I saw it Saturday and yes I cried too :)
I followed it up by going to Islands of Adventure Sunday since I was in Orlando for the IBM tech university.

On a different but related note I want to move to Florida now.

I have a friend that works at Universal and granted us 5 comp passes. However IoA is on blackout thru all of June, July, and part of August so we had to pay. If we wanted to just do universal we'd have been ok :) I wish I'd known you had some magic though I'd have asked you. But now you're moving away :(

I really didn't like this movie either. I watched part I then today went and seen part II in the movies. I really think, for me, it's the damn accents. I just can't follow wtf is going in these movies. It's brilliant! When he shoved his head in the water and everything was explained, I figured it out. But, meh.

I can't possibly see how anyone could cry in this movie. Nothing was sad.

Captain America, I seen Monday. 1000x's better imo.

:devil

How about Snape's entire story finally being revealed? I think that part was pretty sad!

Finally got to watch it with my oldest son tonight. Was definitely worth it! I thought they tied it up nicely, though I will admit we're still on the Order of the Phoenix in the books. If the Deathly Hollows is anything like the Goblet of Fire, I'm expecting huge chunks of the book to have been left out of the movie.

You will find 'The Half-Blood Prince' to be the one with the most missing from the film, I think, as they did a pretty good job with the 'Deathly Hallows' of including as much as they could.
