Any favorite details from this movie?

Ron was awesome in it, and was allowed to be clever and a good friend to harry.

I also like how they did the Blacks family tree, even if it looked nothing like how I imagined it.

What were the most memorable scenes? Share gifs if you like!

I love watching Grimmauld Place just appear and squish the other houses aside :-)

Vernon Dursley, upon the receipt of Harry's notice for the performance of underage sorcery, turning around to face the boy, scrunching his face in righteous anger and vindictively hissing "Justice!" in satisfied triumph.

Luna skipping.

How often do you go back and revisit this film? Have any of your opinions/likes/dislikes about it changed over the years?

[celestlyn]

I watch the whole series of films about once a year. A few friends and I all watch them together and chat about it while watching.

I didn't much like this movie in the beginning, but it grew on me and I like it better each time. I especially loved the twins' exit. (And of course, Flitwicks private little "YES!" as he watched them go.) It will never be one of my favorite movies, but it holds it's own.

After Philosopher Stone and both Deathly Hallows, it's the one I watch the most

I still like all the stuff I liked but I admit the 'Hermione you're the most wonderful person...' scene should have had more gravitas and not played--- for laughs?

grown to dislike Hermione calling Ron 'Ronald' they really overused it.

Felt cheated we didn't got to see Lily & James confrontation in SWM Nor seeing Neville's parents at St, Mungo

two main thing I absolutely Hated about the film was the 'nice one James!' line and how bellatrix killed sirius

Although I was disappointed that they cut the important part of "Snape's Worst Memory" and the scene with Neville's parents in St. Mungo's, I was deeply impressed with how they condensed that enormous book into a streamlined movie of quite a sleek and self-contained length. The significance of Sirius in Harry's life actually showed up more clearly in the movie than in the book, where it got overshadowed by so many other details. I was tremendously excited that we got a glimpse of teen Snape.
