but this one rocked. I love the previous two as well though, so I'm guessing it is mostly the director I like.
Anyway, thoughts:
-loved Hermione's opener. Cried!
-loved the way they told the story of the three brothers. That was wicked. Very pretty.
-didn't like the end bit with Dobby, but I'm not sure what they would have had to do to make me like it. It just seemed clunky to me, like they were making too much of him being a hero, rather than just letting him be a hero. And then seeing the knife fly for a minute also doesn't leave much surprise to what happens. And then they buried him in SAND. Alone. In the book, I loved that the others silently came out to help. It was a bonding moment beyond just the younger generation.
I'll think of more, but I gotta go be an adult for a while. Bank time!

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

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.

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

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

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