- I dressed up as Pansy Parkinson, waited in line for five hours through a heat index of 105 followed by a thunderstorm later on, and the movie didn't start until 1:00 because there were nearly 2000 fans there to see it - the largest event that my local theater has ever hosted - and people were still in a line wrapped around the building at 12:30
( ... )
I LOVED IT. NO WORDS. (ok there ~are words but it took me a while to come up with coherent thoughts.) I WAS A ROLLERCOASTER OF EMOTIONS. I LAUGHED, I CRIED, I SCREAMED, I CHEERED, MY SKELETON WILL LIE IN THE CINEMA FOREVER, ETC. ETC.
-HOLY SHIT THAT REALLY WAS A LITERAL BLOODBATH. Voldemort walking through a bunch of dead goblins, dying in a fire, SNAPE'S DEATH (omg I nearly screamed for real, and I can normally handle gore/violence no prob), the baby-soul-Voldemort-thing at King's Cross, SO MUCH BLOOD. YEP, DEFINITELY A FAMILY MOVIE

I agree with so many of your points. Couldn't believe they lingered for so long on the babymort thing and Snape's body banging repeatedly against the window? Chills. I cried with pride throughout pretty much all of McGonagall's scenes. I was really disappointed about the Ravenclaw common room too. I thought that they'd leave it out but then I was like "HE'S GOING HE'S GOING oh hey Luna LUNA WHAT ARE YOU DOING" I started crying afresh when I heard the first notes of Hedwig's theme.
I know they changed a lot, but honestly there were only a few things that I had issue with, a MAJOR one being Harry telling Ron and Hermione about going to his death. Um, no. They wouldn't have let him go, and he never would have told them, never would have made them deal with that.
I think that's the only big thing that got to me though, honestly. I really enjoyed the rest. Oh wait, except how Voldemort just disintegrated instead of being hit by his own AK, and how at the end Harry is just calmly walking around, like he didn't just defeat the greatest evil the wizarding world has ever known, and err'body just smiling at him instead of there being chaos like at the end of the book... wish they had done that.
Everything else though, I loved. I didn't really cry until The Forest Again. Then I broke down. ;______;
In conclusion: I want to have babies with Dan, just saying. :P
Yeah, I missed the Harry glompfest from the book. Didn't like that they finished the Harry-Voldie fight out in the courtyard without anyone else around. :/ And completely agree about Harry telling Ron and Hermione about his impending death. I was also annoyed that Ron didn't hug Harry. Come on, if you ARE going to make Harry do something like this, let BOTH his best friends give him hugs.
The post-battle atmosphere felt so off. Everyone was just like "o hay I heard voldemort just died." "Oh that's cool, bro." instead of the emotional rollercoaster of a hugfest that in the book. The most evil wizard EVER was just defeated, but everyone seemed only mildly happy about it.
And I'm still not sure if I like the ~death by disintegration~ or not. It looks cool on film, but doesn't make much sense.
