I was wondering about the hugging/throwing off the edge scene when I saw it in the trailer. I was hoping it fit better in the movie. Oh well, the rest sounds awesome! I can't wait to see it.

Oh, and I agree! I was so moved by Alan Rickman's acting as Snape, especially in all of those scenes with Lily. AMAZING!! The little kids were all adorable!!

It was more heroic in the book to me, which I loved! All the other changes and things left out I didn't mind. I liked Harry old at the end hugging his son. A really sweet moment. I think Ron looked kinda funny old at the end, Hermione looked exactly the same, and Genny looked like a beauty queen which I liked. <br /><br />I also have a teen book blog.

Probably multiple times in theatres actually :)<br /><br />Shelley: I can kind of see that Dumbledore's back story might have slowed down the pacing and that's why they removed it. But still, I know fans would have appreciated it! I think they did very well considering all that pressure they were facing!<br /><br />Lauren: Yeah, I'll wait for the crowds to die down for when I go se the movie the second time.<br /><br />Laura: Hmm, good point. The invisibility cloak would have been good to use to indicate that Harry truly was the Master of Death. The Remus and Tonks storyline has always been pushed to the side in the movies unfortunately... tis a shame.<br /><br />Katie: Agreed about Fred's death. As another note, how amazing was Rupert's acting in that scene? He has really proved time and again that he is the best of the trio at acting in every movie. Of course, Rickman had the most powerful acting scenes though.Ayleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07639250102446794830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4619019089060464771.post-58984365521944472302011-07-18T10:58:21.641-06:002011-07-18T10:58:21.641-06:00Great review, have to agree with them all.

I did miss Fred's death though, shame that was barely touched on, but in a way that was a relief as it would have destroyed me. And Snape! Alan Rickman was perfect, just perfect in this film. Amazing actor, and amazing setting of his scenes.

Teddy was barely mentioned!
