Wow. Awesome. Makes it all the sadder how bad the others were, but oh well.

I loved it, and found very, very little to complain about. Yes, the red bands around the Death Eaters' arms are utterly tasteless, but it's just a replacement for other Nazi references that Rowling makes in the book that didn't make it to the movie, so, okay.
A number of brilliant finds and deftly handled exposition, including (in random order) Hermione's memory spell on her parents, the Deathly Hallows story, the conversation with Doge and that other woman (although it seems they're either going to cut a fair bit about Dumbledore or still have to do more exposition in the sequel), and, yes, the dancing scene. It's a bit random, but it worked for me, and I didn't interpret it as Harry-Hermione shipping, though I can see of course how some would see it that way.

I figure it's fair. I mean, the universe has to make up for you being you sometimes, right?

Sorry, I can't hear you over everyone in the theater talking before the film.

Yeah, but unfortunately it just comes off as being really out of nowhere.

I am sooooo over HP. I'll probably wait a week for the fan-storm to blow over, or wait 'till dvd.

I'm thinking you'd be really, really, really confused. It might be a bit like surrealist art.

But the 7th book relies so heavily on the 6th, it would be pretty impossible.

You ought to read or watch them just for their cultural relevance.

It's about as influential as Star Wars, which I guess depends on how influential you think SW is.

That seems a bit early to say - wait till twenty years have passed, then check again. *NM*

Fair enough, but I think we're already seeing its influence on children's literature. *NM*

I'm glad it's 2 films, but the total run time could be 4 hours instead of 5 hours *NM*

i guess even with severe editing one film would have ran for 4 hours

the dance was one of the best scenes in the film, imo. *NM*

it wasn't characterisation, it was horribly awkward and clumsily crowbarred in

*shrug* I liked the scene. It was something lighthearted in the middle of a lot of bleakness
