I'm pretty much anticipating the whole movie! I honestly don't think I could pick one scene. Probably something I don't even expect to be awesome will end up being awesome, and then I'll come home full of flail and squee. Well, okay, I will be like that anyway, I'm sure.

How long do we have to wait, again? XD

Oh man, IKR? There's literally not a single scene that I hate in the second half of DH. I think. I need to reread it, and not just skim it looking for my favourite scenes, heh. But like, the Gringotts scene and Dumbledore's family and the Battle for Hogwarts... I love it all.

OH GOD ONLY EIGHT MORE DAYS UNTIL I SEE IT AHHHHHHH

I'm hitting a midnight showing \o/ but none of my friends thought to buy tickets at the same theatre before they sold out. The friend who compared Hermione to Sam will be going to a showing elsewhere at midnight, though, so when I get home I will probably spend another hour crying over it with him online before I go to bed.

Ahh have fun! I'm not going to a midnight showing, so I guess everyone will know what happens before me. :P

Yeah, the 'I'm about to die' scene is fantastic. It gave me such chills in the book, reading about Harry's fear and his acceptance and then his sudden euphoria over finding his family and loved ones again. I think Daniel Radcliffe is one hell of an actor, and he's going to kill that scene, imo.

Exactly! 'The Prince's Tale' filled in the blanks about Snape's character beautifully. It added a whole new layer to the Snape hates James thing, and it showed why he'd been following Dumbledore all those years, at great personal risk.

As to the crucio scene, I agree that there should have been more fallout from it, but I think the fact that there wasn't (Harry didn't feel guilty, McGonagall didn't scold him, etc) shows just how far gone the world is and just how much everything/everybody has changed. There's a sort of casualness in the writing and among the characters about the horrors of the final half of DH, like Neville being so 'whatever' about how beat up he is, and this is another example of it.
