Gah, I can't believe it is all over. But wow, what an ending.
I actually didn't cry at the very end, but there were a few parts throughout the film that really got to me. And when I say that, I mean waterfalls were coming out of my eyes. Basically any time either McGonagall or Snape were on my screen, the tears were flowing. Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman really delivered during this film. I think they always do, but in this one especially.
I really need to reread the books again. Now that I'm a bit older, I'm sure I'll feel differently about some of the characters and understand more of the complexities of the story that may not have quite sunk in the first time I read through the books. I was captivated by every scene with the Malfoys.
I was never a fan of the epilogue in the books, mostly because I never really got behind Harry/Ginny. But that aside, I thought the film ended nicely. And I LOVED that the closing theme was the same theme that was played during the end of the first film. I got chills.
I started crying when Harry looked into the pensieve. Then I lost it when Harry walked into the forest and saw his mum, dad, Sirius, and Lupin. That feeling of knowing you're going to die and having to make that choice. Gah.
Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman are AMAZING. I whooped when Maggie Smith said that spell that released all the soldiers and then got giddy about it.
Oh the Malfoys. I thought Tom Felton did a really good job conveying that feeling of wanting to do what's right but always giving into his fear and not doing what's right.
Oh hun, you had to hear me the minute Harry sees Ginny in the room when he comes out of the painting. I NEVER got behind Harry/Ginny. Plus it didn't help that I don't think Dan has any chemistry with Bonnie.
I need the soundtrack to the last film. Just so epic sounding.

Did I know that? I feel like I should have known that.
But I totally agree about Dan and Bonnie. But there was no way to tell at 11 that was going to happen, so there was nothing to be done about it.

Yeah, you're right about nothing to be done by that. Le sigh.
