But I must not tell lies.

OMFG YOU GUYS, SO MUCH WIN.

CRAP, I am already forgetting things! Um um! Clearly I will have to see it again!

The beginning! Was different! Lol Dudley! Tonks! TONKSSSSS. There was not enough of her! Dammit. And I had always pictured Kingsley to be Eko from Lost, HA HA.

THE INSIDE OF THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC WAS SO FREAKING COOL AAAAAHHH GORGEOUS!!! GOD I forgot how much I love the wizarding world. SO SO AWESOME.

Dolores Umbridge was seriously amazing because I HATED her, not as much as in the book, of course, but still. Absolutely fantastic. Her office! AHAHAHA.

LUNA IS SO CUTE A;LKSJDF;LASKJDFA LOOOOVE! So adorable, seriously. Thumbs up, casting!

Number 12 Grimmauld Place was EXACTLY how I pictured it, so much so that it gave me the chills. When Harry was looking down the hallway? LOVED that. Extendable Ears! YESSSS. The tapestry! Not so much a tapestry as a whole freaking room omfg! KREACHER OMG THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE OF HIM.

No Sirius' mum. :(((

CORNELIUS FUDGE IS AN ASS.

Dude, the whole Daily Prophet newspaper update thingies? Very cool. I really liked how they did that.

WEEEEEEE THE DA!!! Oh yes, SO AWESOME. Kind-of patronus's, I guess! Loved more than anything, when Ron and Hermione squared off! And the twins betting! OH LULZ.

ABERFORTH AND THE GOAT. I AM LAUGHING FOREVER.

Heeee, The Kiss. "It was wet." Oh goodness. I was amused.

I LOVED the way they did the Legilimency. Snape still kind of rules at everything, so.

Number Two Favorite Scene (I will get to the first later a;lfdjalsdjf): THE TWINS. FIREWORKS. LET'S BLOW THIS POPSICLE STAND. They have always been two of my favorite characters, and that was just totally awesome.

Neville! OH NEVILLE. I LOVE YOU SWEETHEART. I'm SO glad they put more of him in the movie, and I know with time constraints and all they couldn't have done the visit in the hospital, because I would have absolutely loved to have seen that, but all the scenes with him and about his parents were wonderful.

Grawp! Wow! Not useless! Heee, Hermione! And Ron being all protective! N'AWW, YOU GUYS.

(Seriously, if no one noticed the anvil-sized hints in the movie, I think we're all done for.)

So, Ginny is suddenly Cap'n Blow Shit Up? I was like, Hehhh, wha-? Did everyone notice her staring after Harry when he went to talk to Cho after the last DA meeting before Christmas. NICE.

THANK YOU, movie, for not making Sirius-in-the-fire look as retarded as it did in the last movie. That was exactly how I pictured it.

BELLATRIX!!!! I LOVE HELENA BONHAM CARTER.

The Prophecy room was definitely not how I pictured it, obviously. But still very neat. I would have loved to see that dude with his head in the glass jar, going back and forth from a baby to an adult, heh.

Oh man, OH MAN YOU GUYS. THE FINAL PART. WAS. SO. AWESOME. Seriously, I LOVED this movie because of the cinematography and filming! Absolutely stunning, and the final part was definitely not an exception. The fighting! Good Lord! I was freaking biting my nails!

And yeah, okay, number one favorite scene of the movie, hands down, was when Voldemort possessed Harry. That was so, so amazingly well done, and I was just kind of hyperventilating at one point because wow. Heartwrenching, and so well done thank you, Daniel Radcliffe, because apparently I still kind of have a thing for you. TELL NO ONE. He surprisingly astounding through the whole movie, but this part? Was what really did it for me for the entire movie. And let's not even TALK about the Dumbledore vs Voldemort fight because that was seriously the greatest thing ever. Dumbledore was a serious bad ass in this movie. Oh wow.

I loved it bunches, though really, I am not as emotionally invested in the books/movies as I was a while back, so mostly this was just pure enjoyment. I'm not going to go stalking after the WB with pitchforks because this-or-that didn't happen, or that so-and-so was COMPLETELY different from the books. But that doesn't mean I was entirely pleased with it. My friend Catie said it kind of felt like a book report, this happened, then this happened, and then oh yeah, this over here, and then wrap up! I mean, yeah, I can see where she's coming from, and honestly, I wouldn't know who to shift the blame on that, but come on, it was an 800 billion page book. For what they had to work with, and aaaaaall the millions of stuff they left out, I thought they did a pretty great job. Even though a lot of it was my favorite parts of the book (McGonagall telling of Umbridge, Weasley is Our King, all the awesomeness that was the Department of Mysteries, ACCIO BRAIN!!) and pretty much a ton of stuff. Oh well, I guess. Sigh.

Now, see, if I was as emotionally invested as I was back in the day, I would have had some SERIOUS problems with the "pensieve" scene. I mean, wtf?! Back then, that was what I was looking forward to most, because I have such a huuuuge thing for James/Lily and Mauraders (of which we were majorly gipped, again). I thought they had actually casted actors for young!Remus and young!Sirius and Lily? And, uhhh, I did not see them one bit? I can hear the internets slowly imploading, pretty much.

Sirius's death was kind of... anticlimatic. Not that I'm one of those people who are super obsessed with Sirius (I never quite understood that, really) but it's kind of Harry's Big Deal, and yeah. Just kind of, weee! Through the Veil. Okay, we've moved on.

And, what in the hell did I hear? Levicorpus?!? Not once, but TWICE?! Well, screw that storyline in Movie Six, because apparently Luna already knows it. Seriously, I don't even understand the logic behind that. :\

I met the dude who plays Seamus. TEE HEE.

Oh man. I definitely need to see that again, soon.

The suckiness only gets worse on the day that Deathly Hallows (which, in my mind, I still automatically read Deathly Lollows, thank you internets), as I get out of work at freaking 11:30, and then go in the next morning at 8:30. WHAT THE HELL, UNIVERSE. Seriously, if people come into Starbucks running their mouth about what happens in the last book? I will punch people in the face. ARGHH.

Guys, on the way to the theater there was a temperature gauge on a bank, and it said 89 degrees. At 10:30 at night. With 20938420398 million percent humidity. :(((

Oh man. Time for go to bed.

So, Ginny is suddenly Cap'n Blow Shit Up?

Lol, I was like WHAAAA? Super Ginny to the rescue, apparently.

[writer-in-black.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think I remember them starting to mentioning in that book that Ginny is getting FREAKISHLY good at witchcraft. But that always translates in the movies as BLOW SHIT UP. Remember Malfoy and Harry's duel? Every single spell sent someone flying. Remember Harry's "Expelliarmus" on Snape in the third movie THROWING HIM against the wall? same thing. Movie-Power = Explosions or flinging people.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Aaaah, yeah, now that I think about it, I remember that. Especially in the sixth book. That definitely makes more sense!

[caithream.livejournal.com]

Apparently so! Made for some awesome special effects, but it's been a while since I read the books, so I couldn't remember if it had gone down exactly like that, haha!

[stepliana.livejournal.com]

So I agree on like, every single point, ever.

AMAZING.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

[caithream.livejournal.com]

AHAHA HAHAHAHHAA I KNOW RIGHT!! Like, I saw you coming and we both kind of ran at each other with open arms, AHAHAHHAAAA, and you were really short! Well, I'm 5'6", so you were shorter than me, hahah. I was like, WAIT, did that really happen??

[idril-telrunya.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH we ran at each other like in the movies? Was it all slow motion? How AWESOME!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Well maybe it was a psychic dream because I AM shorter then you! DUN DUN DUUUNNNN!!!! Not that much shorter then you since Im 5'3 but still. Hahahahah omg thats so the best!!

[mousewings.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for the book too, as I'm requesting it from the library. I'm cheap... and I also support libraries. :D

I'll be ready to cuss anyone out who posts plot or ending giveaways without a cut.

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I will run to the back room! Hopefully no one will have read it that quick, but honestly, I wouldn't put it past anyone.

[superdork37.livejournal.com]

Oh shit, I did not notice that Luna said levicorpus! Not good.

I think the whole Ginny thing was a sort of...expantion on her being really good at the Bat Bogey Hex. Lol...not exactly the same, but they tried :P

[caithream.livejournal.com]

I was like, "Dude! DUDE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Gah. :(

Ahaha, I kind of thought that as well! Being good at that hex = EVERYTHING BLOWING UP ALWAYS. I love the logic of the movies. :D

[giventofly37.livejournal.com]

EKO AS KINGSLEY LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Also: LUNA AND NEVILLE AND WIN WIN WIN OMG.

[falterfrei.livejournal.com]

As far as Sirius' death goes, I think they were fairly true to the book. Aside from Hollywooding up the "window" or whatever, anyway. I remember reading book five and reading that deal with Sirius and then all of a sudden Harry was all upset and I was like "WTF? Why is Harry freaking out?" And I actually had to go back and re-read it, and then I was like, "Oh, Sirius died? That was... anticlimactic...." So really, they didn't have much to work with if they were going to be true to the book.


Other than that... AWESOME MOVIE! We just got back from seeing it, and I'm still giddy.....

Totally loved Luna. I'm shipping H/L from now on, heee!!
