KarmaTsunami Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Anyone else heading to a midnight showing? Excited? Upset that it's all coming to an end? Surely I can't be the only Harry Potter fan around these parts? I for one am heading along to the Belmont's midnight screening. I'm going to the showing of Part 1 beforehand as well. Mentally prepare myself and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'm not too attached to the films, but I do always go to see them in the cinema. I think I'm dragging davidm to the midnight showing at the Belmont tonight too as it should be quite fun. Have never been to a first showing for any of the Potter films, so would quite like to for the final one just 'cos... I'm mainly excited because this film is going to be heavily Rickman-based. Swoon!

Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I will see this in the cinema but probably not until next weekend. I generally enjoy all the films and DH part 1 was one of the best ones so I'm looking forward to this.And I've not read the books so it's all new to me.

FOX Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I'll definitely see it, although in my opinion DH part 1 was the weakest one in the series thus far. They'll end with a bang, though, which should be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Deathly Hallows part 1 is probably the best film after Azkaban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsten Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 On the whole, I enjoyed it, but there were stupid little things about it that annoyed me. Glad to see Rickman be allowed to become an actual character again. Also, he was the first name in the credits that people applauded. Well done, Aberdeen!

davidm Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 One of the worst ways to end a series of films ever.That was just as bad as the dream ending in Crossroads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarmaTsunami Posted July 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The epilogue did not translate well to the screen. Which is odd because they showed that they can do 'true to the book' in the Forbidden Forest and King's Cross scenes. However, I was fairly ambivalent towards the epilogue in the book, so eh. The rest of the movie was awesome enough that I'm not really that miffed about it. Here are some thoughts that I cut and paste from my blog since I'm really tired and going to bed now:Alan Rickman. All of the fucking awards. Blew it out of the motherfucking water. The way he breaks down when he sees Lilys body, the way he just fucking holds it and sobs like his life is over. The raw fucking emotion when he is pleading with Dumbledore to protect her and devastated because he couldnt. When he tells Harry he has his mothers eyes just before he dies, and when he tells Dumbledore Always. I was in fucking floods and I still tear up thinking about it. Alan Rickmans performance as Snape throughout the series has been excellent but tonight he just fucking kicked it up a million notches. Professor Minerva McGonagall. Way to marshal the fucking stone soldiers and get giddy about it, you class fucking bad ass dame. You rocked. Telling students to blow shit up because you know they love it. Molly Weasley. You got the biggest round of applause. Way to just fucking obliterate Bellatrix. You duel like a demon and struck the fear of god into someone who doesnt get scared. RON AND HERMIONE! THE KISS! THATS MY GIRLFRIEND YOU NUMPTY! NEVILLE AND LUNA <3 Dan Rad. This was the best acting youve done in any of the movies. Same goes for you Miss Watson. RIP Fred, Tonks, Remus, Lavender, the wee Imperiused goblin, not you Griphook you grippy cunt, Severus Motherfucking Snape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaaakkkeee Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 She looks a bit like a lesbian, to be honest.Racist.It's been so long since I read the books so I found it to be an amazing ending to the films. Then the epilogue and that ruined the ending.How come BTTF can make people look older really well and HP7P2 couldn't? We're moving backwards, not forwards.Anyway, yeah, decent film. Decent acting. A few geeky laughs and a few geeky tears. Pretty good. I didn't cry by the way Well, not out my eyes anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOX Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 The ending was completely ridiculous but I can see why big fans would like to see that sort of ending.Wasn't so ridiculous in the book, to be fair - I think it just translates badly to screen.Particularly Harry's not-yet-all-that-broken voice...

Paranoid Android Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 I've never read the books, but I've heard that the epilogue was the biggest complaint for many people.Obviously though it'd be easier to accept them as grown adults with kids in a text than on film with a change of clothes and new haircuts.
