Solitaire, I agree with you that the omission of Harry repairing his holly wand with the elder wand, omits a critical message in that he was not only rejecting the Elder wand, but was reclaiming his original wand.

Potterholic, you make an excellent point about how well Helena B-C played "Hermione as Bellatrix"....she was very convincing!

I just saw if for a second time --3-D this time....glasses over my own glasses was rather annoying... and noticed that when Harry rolled out of Hagrid's arms and "returned" to life, many of the DE's disapparated out of LV's group. While I like the idea that they were so freaked out by Harry once again NOT being killed by LV's AK, don't they know that YOU CAN'T APPARATE OUT OF HOGWARTS?!? Haven't they ever read Hogwarts: A History?

Just recalled: when we saw Griphook and Ron use the clankers to scare back the dragon, my friend commented, "So that's how you handle a dragon: more cowbell!"

I agree with pretty much everything else that's been written on here. Unfortunately, budget and time constraints mean that I won't get another chance to see the movie until it's released on DVD. I'm looking forward to watching parts 1 and 2 back to back. Some more thoughts:

Still haven't seen it. Someday next week. However, I have been reading the spoilers. It's not as though I don't know the ending. I just had to LOL about Harry and Lily both having eyes that opened and closed. (And the bit about him having his mother's eyes was not left out of the films in general, because there is the bit on the bridge in PoA when Lupin comments on this.) So, what color eyes does grown-up Lily have? Hazel? Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 464751818

Yes, Lupin mentions Harry's eyes being Like Lily's in PoA. He mentions them being kind like hers, or something like that, right?

As far as I remember, we never hear of Griphook again. We certainly don't hear that he has been killed.

Went to the movie this afternoon. I agree with Viola: I loved it and it is far and away my favorite, if for no other reason than that we finally get to see a range of emotion from Snape. Alan Rickman was so wonderful! And the whole thing was so action-packed! We went to the 3:00 show and arrived at about 2:25 and the theater was already filling up. We got the last three seats that were together that weren't in the very front/lower section. (I had asked the concierge and they told us that if all the seats were taken except for the front ones, that we could exchange for the 4:00 show. I sat in those front-row seats once, and I will NOT do that again -- very uncomfortable!) We elected for the 2-D version, but I will do the 3-D version one day next week just to see what it's like -- I hope they won't run out of the "special" Harry glasses! Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 2351571793 I did not dress up, but I wore my Fawkes necklace and put Lego Dobby and Lego Snape on my purse in honor of the occasion.

Here's my thoughts: (Thom, you do "spoiler" by going up top to the little boxes and click on "others" and find "spoiler" and click on that... type in-between the ][ thingys...)

I took Phil and the girls to see it today. I splurged on the Imax 3D. I loved it (again). I was disappointed that we didn't get Harry Potter 3D glasses this time. Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 3276373137 They were the standard yellow. I was afraid that I would get motion sick, but was fine. The audience reaction was better than I expected it to be. It was not as enthusiastic as it was Friday morning, but still very good. My family is just heartless, they didn't cry at all. scratch

I still have not recovered from the midnight showing, then working all day. I got plenty of sleep Friday night, but am still tired today.

I agree with most of the comments. Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 2281877974 Don't think the things I have in the my spoiler box are spoilers but just in case . . .

Spoiler:

The two mirror wasn't explained very well. I thought the movie did a good job explaining the wandlore in regards to Snape, Voldemort, Draco and Harry having control of the Elder Wand. Wandlore is a sore point for me in regards to the 7th Book. Ginny was mostly invisible but a lot of people had little or no screen time as well.

Hi Gerald!! So nice to see you here!

It would have been nice for them to keep the lines to the characters they originated from. I find many things troubling when they use too much interpretive freedom, rather than canon.

I suppose that is why I don't read the books just before the movies as Olivia did and admittedly, was annoyed with the differences.

Got the special Harry Potter 3D glasses at the 1.30 am showing Friday morning. Friday afternoon at 3.30 it was just the regular 3D glasses, not as cool and also not as good as I could see the frame while I was using them which spoiled the effect really. Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 2134391180

Mr. W said he thought the Harry potter 3D glasses were for the middle of the night showings only.

Woman in front of me (who had only see film 1 and not read the books - but was with her grown up son who was a "true" fan - could quote the books but had also seen all the films) also thought

Geez, that did not even remotely occur to me (obviously) but now that everyone mentions that, I can see where that could be a problem. Wow... there's a glitch the writers obviously never considered... Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 793915934

Thanks, Verity! Totally forgot who Bogrod was. I can't remember Ron's line -- it might've been one of the ones that I couldn't hear. There were two or three lines that I missed, and one of them was one that got a lot of laughs, so that might've been it... I know one was one of Dumbledore's lines, and I was right ticked that I missed it...

I took Millicent to see it and she was rather "eh" about it. Silly child.

I have to say, I went through more tissue the second time around than I did the first time. At least I will be prepared when I see it on Tuesday.

I really didn't like the way LV died....too much special effects budget. I prefer his death in the book: his body just flumps to the floor w/no fanfare or drama.....he's just a man after all, despite all his efforts to be immortal.

I did like Harry's line about "When have any of our plans ever worked?..." Deathy Hallows Part II - Page 3 2775603007

I agree with everyone's comments about LV's death. Just because you CAN do spectacular special effects, doesn't mean you SHOULD. The book version was so much more satisfying.
