All right you know this movie just came out. I  so far have seen it twice. Have you guys seen it yet? I think this was an excellent movie and they did a great job with the musical score!

I saw it on Friday.
My expectations for the movies have been steadily decreasing since PoA, so this one was actually better than I predicted. It ended rather abruptly, but I guess that's to be expected of a two parter.

I was kinda half-hoping that they would forget about Dobby again, but alas, they remembered him just in time to....well, you know.

The Three Brothers sequence was nicely done. It was probably my favorite part.

I think the movies sucked ass. The 1st movie was ok, but afterwards, they started to cut my favorite things from the books.
If it would have just been a movie series based on nothing... I think I would think of them as ok.

The Deathly Hallows was actually rather well done, compared to most of the movies in the series. It was a very accurate adaption of the book in my opinion, though I did notice that there were a few plot points they added in from the book that weren't present in the previous movies. Like Sirius' mirror, it was in the books but never shown in the movies before suddenly appearing in the seventh movie.

That's less the current director's fault than the previous ones.
A lot of things were omitted in the previous movies that turned out to be important later. Like Dobby, who was supposed to have a much bigger role in the fourth, fifth, and sixth movies, was completely cut out until now. The subsequent spoilery thing to happen to him was probably a lot less meaningful to those who only watch the movies.

I love how Charlie just shows up at the beginning without any explanation. "Oh hey Harry! I'm Charlie! Don't mind this giant werewolf scar that I got inexplicably last year. Have you met my fiance Fleur?"

If I remember correctly Joy, the mirror is kind of like a two way radio between someone else who has one. I think Dumbledore's brother stumbled upon it somehow and was watching Harry the entire time with it.

But again, it was never explained in the movies, so anyone (like my father) who has watched the movies but never bothered to read the books is out of the loop.

Bingo...I know why he's looking, what he thought he saw, how the mirror works, how his got broken. Jay, my husband, hasn't read that far in the nooks, so he had to ask me.

They've still got Gringotts, and the entire battle of Hogwarts, which was a huge part of the book. I'm just hoping they do Snape's memory scene justice. It's my favorite part.

I liked it. Never read any of the books, though my girlfriend is a fanatic and said it was the most faithful adaptation yet. But I still enjoyed it.

Yeah, I didn't get the mirror thing at all, so when I saw it mentioned earlier in this thread I was like "oohhhh," but it didn't detract from my experience too much.

Although the scene with Ron facing that smoke monster that mirrors your fears was pretty laughable. lol.

Agreed. Snape's death better be epic.
And I just saw the movie today. It's...well, it's better than the sixth. I never liked the movies, leaving out the first two or three :|

IMO there were too many deaths in the last book, didn't really serve any purpose and so many were dying that it became desensitized.
I'm much too lazy to put an actual signature here.

Necro'd to say that OMG PART TWO IS AMAZING!!!1!1!!one!

Our theater went all out and decorated the whole lobby with floating candles (christmas lights and construction paper tied to thin transparent wire. It was pretty awesome walking in the door and just looking up all "Holy shit floating candles".), stone patterned wallpaper and house flags. They even had pumpkin juice and butterbeer. I didn't try the pumpkin juice but I think the butterbeer was just butterscotch and A&W. Still pretty good though. The whole staff dressed up in Gryffindor uniforms too.

This was an excellent conclusion to the movies. It totally made up for the last five or so sub-par ones.
I think this was probably the most faithful book adaptation of the seven. The only thing I can really think of that they left out was the whole grindlewald/dumbledore explanation, and that wasn't really a huge deal.

I concur.  Harry Potter Part Two was absolutely wonderful!  It was SOOOO Epic.  The only part I dont like is the very end, but then again, I didnt like the very end in the book either.  I won't explain it since some of you probably haven't seen it yet, but you need to stop what you're doing and go watch it RIGHT NOW.

The last one I watched was Goblet of Fire, and I'm content with that, cause I'm an indie bitch. I also heard that Half-Blood Prince was terrible, and I never got around to watching OotP or Part 1. Yeah.
