Now they have to tie up all of these subplots that they disregarded in previous movies because they're now vital to this movie. I understand why they cut some of them out but one of my favorite parts in the book (and probably everyone elses) is when Hermione kisses Ron and why she finally crosses the barrier in their friendship. I know that no matter how incredible it is in the movie and the amazing job I know Emma and Rupert will do I feel like we will all be a little disappointed because in the movies Hermione's passion for house elves has never been stated before. I can't even imagine how they are going to build that scene up.<br /><br />It's hard for me to see how they'll show Kreacher raising the house elves to rebellion because they're just bringing that subplot up now (and it's barely) but I hope that they just say bollocks to the people who haven't read the books (because who would watch them if they haven't read them?) and just put it in! They put that shard of mirror in this book without explaining it so I hope they realize that if they are really curious about the details they will finally read them! <br /><br />I've seen it three times already and it's my favorite movie! Everything that they changed I can see why because of the previous movies, and the things they added I enjoyed because of the great character development. The only thing that really irked me was Wormtail but like you said if they do change his death I hope Lupin gets to avenge Prongs and Padfoot.<br /><br />Daniel did such a great job with the polyjuice potion scene I can't wait to see Helena as Hermione! <br /><br />I love the corruption and propaganda scenes in the Ministry! Something else I was really impressed with was the tension they created with the horcrux sound. After they steal the locket you can hear it in the background.<br /><br />Great review, Audree! I hope we can all discuss it tomorrow!Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165633784515429214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-43243457311530797012010-11-23T10:27:01.882-06:002010-11-23T10:27:01.882-06:00I pretty much agree with your review.

I loved the scene at the beginnin...YES YES YES!!! <br />I loved the scene at the beginning as well...especially Hermione. AND I thought starting with Rufus in the Ministry worked as well. I love how the shot started with just his eyes and opened up to show the whole scene. Almost like showing how the Ministry was trying to hide that Voldy was back, but then it just grew until they couldn't keep it hidden any longer. <br /><br />Hermione's torture scene was actually one of my favorites. Not because H was being torture obviously, but because of how well it was done. B crawling all over her and then that shot of H with the word on her arm, that blank stare on her face, and just those few tears in her eyes...perfect. I feel like we were supposed to get that her torture was inside, she wasn't being tortured so much on the outside...but I've always felt that the Cruciatus Curse causes pain that can't be seen (which is usually worse than pain that can be seen). <br /><br />I was also upset that the relationship between Kreacher and Harry was more pronounced. Kreacher's turn-around in the book was so special to me. But I also understand why they changed it. But I feel like we were left hanging about RAB, even though they figured out who he was...the story was sketchy. <br /><br />There were times when I was actually scared during the film and I, too, wondered how smaller children would react. The snake...both in Malfoy Manor and in Godric's Hallow. EW!<br /><br />I also felt that they did a great job with Harry's connection to his parents. I have always tried to put myself in his shoes...I can't imagine visiting my dad's grave without memories of him. The emptiness in Harry's heart must be so deep. <br /><br />And the ending: YES! Just what I wanted. It was powerful. <br /><br />Sorry this is so long. I couldn't shut up :(Meredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654618798660691999.post-72623405803528588312010-11-22T16:14:27.552-06:002010-11-22T16:14:27.552-06:00I cried three tears in this movie.

I agree with everything said here...maybe because we already discussed this over AIM but whatever :)<br /><br />Like I said before, Godric's Hollow...best scene they've ever done. And yeah the return to Malfoy Manor was just...not all there. Emma had the perfect scream for it though, it was everything I was hoping. And when she was crying she actually looked terrified. <br /><br />The Kreacher snub was completely infuriating to me though. GUH.<br /><br />Desplat's score was epic. I was very pleased. <br /><br />AND YES! Yates scored for me by leaving the ending on a sad/scary note.

It's in the top three films in the series (I can never decide whether I like Prisoner of Azkaban or Half Blood Prince more, now this one makes that harder). From an adaptation standpoint, this one is the best one they've done. As cool as a two movie per book thing would have been, the franchise would have gone on for like 20 years if they did that, it's already going to be one full decade after Part 2 comes out. I know the two movie thing would've have been great fan service, but in film, it just wouldn't really have worked IMO. <br /><br />I agree with most all what you've said here, though while I'm not like huge uber fan of Dobby, I find him sweet and adorable and his death made me cry. Lots of people were doing the same in my screening. :P I thought the ministry stuff was HILARIOUS. <br /><br />On a technical side, the cinematography, score, art direction, etc were the best in the series IMO.Kevin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09706276828853829294noreply@blogger.com
