I noticed that Harry didn't give his "she's like a sister to me" talk... but I think that's because the writers want to push the theoretical love triangle a bit more. The dancing and all those other Harry-and-Hermione moments add to this as well. I think it's an okay strategy given the story is being split across two movies. The tension will stew a bit longer than it did in the book, but I'm sure Harry will still have that conversation with Ron eventually.

(I think raising the possibility of Harry/Hermione was a smart move on the writers' part, after they effectively wrote Ginny out of it.)

Also, I loved the bit with Hermione's parents -- it was very sad, but very well done. (Although I do wonder what they'll make of all those empty frames!) That and the scene of Harry in the cupboard under the stairs were probably my favorite things that this movie added that we didn't get to see in the book.

Ginny was such an afterthought in the books, though. I don't blame the writers for not emphasizing that relationship.

Concur wrt Hermione's parents. :-( And yes, the cupboard (which he is now taller than).

*Smiles and shakes head* I haven't even seen the 5th or 6th one. Waaaaay behind. Well, half the fun was dressing up with you guys.

For #4 on List 1 -- the blood and flies seemed to imply that Bathilda's body was in a closet, and her form was just an illusion.

I guess so. That did confuse me a bit. Also, the whole bright, preserved nursery thing? That was weird.

Yeah, the nursery didn't make sense at all.

Haven't seen it yet (hey, I have nobody to go with, ok? Also, need to avoid seeming creepy.), but I can at least concur about driving at 3 am.

I really enjoyed watching the movie; so much of the adaptation was really well done. Perhaps it's in part because I read the book for the first time so relatively recently, but I felt more than any of the others that it was bringing scenes to life almost as I had imagined them ( ... )
