It was one of my favorite quotes from the book. I'm just glad they put Molly's line in. People applauded at different moments. I'm not a fan of doing that, but I did clap a few times when she said it.

Of all the directors to grant license to add in little turds of their own, why the hell was Yates the one who got to do the most? His little "additions" sucked (although the Ron/Hermione kiss was pretty aweshum)

Saw the midnight opener. It pretty much validated my feelings when I listened to the audio only: it's definitely the best of Yates's work with the series, and if you haven't read the books it's a good conclusion to the series, but--if you've read the books--as a stand-alone film it felt a bit lacking. How a film that fairly closely followed the book, with all that emotion and action, could still feel lacking is a mystery, but the whole film was so damn quiet, with lots of still scenes and expressive faces and little dialogue and underexposed film--typical Yates. The entire sold-out crowd was deathly silent for most of it, aside from the odd obvious cheering scenes near the end (although there wasn't a sound when Voldemort bit it, which was weird.) As far as an actual interesting film goes, I'd place it around "Goblet", and below the first three films. Definitely better than "Phoenix" and "Price" and "Hallows Pt. 1". Potter film fans will love it; Potter book fans will find it a satisfying finish, if a bit understated; non-Potter fans will probably not care for it (although they'll probably like it better than the last three).

I could never get into the Harry Potter Franchise.
I tried. Lord knows I tried. I love wizards and sorcercy and shit like that, but this series of movies bored me to death. Wish I could like it. |

My understanding is that Rawlings had final approval all along, and held it tightly. She also has absolute control over the characters, etc., so no movies without her say-so. No spin-offs or whatever to make a gazillion dollars just for the sake of it. Not without her approval anyway.

Yes. This is one series where you HAVE to read the books. And do so while keeping in mind that the books "age" in appropriateness as the children in the books--or, potentially, the children reading the books--do. The first book seems very childlike and is an adequate reflection of the first film, but after that the books take on a much more adult tone but with so much more depth than a 2-hour film can give them. This is probably partially the reason why I think the first three films rocked, the fourth was okay, and the last four films were just "meh". (The other part of that reason is simply David Yates. Didn't care for his work at all.)
Another problem is that the first four books are true "Hardy Boys" detective novels. There's a mystery, the kids solve it. But starting with "Phoenix" that aspect got weaker. Even the "mystery" in "Half-Blood Prince" (that the Prince was Snape) wasn't done as well in the film as in the book. And the "mystery" in the final book (of the Deathly Hallows, and how Harry ultimately beats Voldemort) isn't done properly in the film.
Spoiler!

Also, I have to say, Neville longbottom's one scene reminded me so much of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Hilarious.
