Okay, so quick because I am tired and thirsty and have to be at work in 6 hours.
I have more, but it's already been a couple of days and I forgot a bunch of stuff. I really liked the movie, but if I had either 1. memorized the book or 2. never opened the book at all, I would not have enjoyed the movie half as much. But overall, much love and very well done! Must see again immediately, if not sooner!
Loved
- that the movie kept two of my favorite lines:
"How was [Cho's kiss]? Wet."
"You have the emotional range of a teaspoon!"
- Lucius is a beautiful badass! Never really thought of Jason Isaacs as hot before, but yowza!
- I actually liked the dual between the Order and the Death Eaters at the end. It was just how I imagined a battle between wizards would be.
- Sirius calling Harry "James" just broke my heart.
- Sirius falling through the veil? Broke my heart again.
- Luna Lovegood was perfect!
- They did a really good job portraying how lonely and betrayed Harry felt. Just painful.
- The Ron/Hermione interaction was subtle and perfect. Yay!
- Bellatrix rocked my world. She bordered on caricature, but pulled it back just enough to be freaky-scary instead.
Missed
- "Weasley is our king!"
- "I caught [Kreacher] snogging a pair of my father's trousers."
- Would liked to have seen them play out the Weasley twins' departure from Hogwarts a little more. That is one of my favorite chapters.
- For some reason, Umbridge scared me more in the books.
- I missed the hopelessness and the desperation from the books, if that makes any sense. The overall despair, the darkness rising. I dunno.
- I wish Dumbledore would have made the statues move. Yeah. He's still a bad mofo, though.

Yeah, everyone has been talking about getting sick in the movie because of the jumpiness. Maybe I didn't notice 'cause I was bouncing in my seat for 3/4 of the movie? ^_~
Damn, I need more HP icons!
