Dear Siriala!!! I'm SO HAPPY that you answered this!!!! I wanted to go look at your LJ what you thought about the movie but always got distracted. I didn't know you just had it this week! I thought it would come out again everywhere at the same time!
This was no rambling at all! Love your thoughts about it!
1) When I saw Ron, I was thinking of you and KNEW you'd adore him and his mature looks! I am feeling a bit sorry for Daniel that he seems to be one of those fragile, not so tall and slender men. But with Gary's help he WILL become an excellent actor, I am certain of that! When I saw Emma in the premiere things with her short hair I wasn't certain if I liked that or not. They are all very rich by now already anyway...no need to work for them anymore lol
2) Ron destroying the lock...I am surprised to hear that you didn't read the book! I say, it was exactly like that! I was even a bit surprised at how BIG the smoky cloud was and that they showed Harry and Hermoine almost naked and kissing for such a long while. I DID feel a bit too animated for me somehow.
3) Lucuis...YES! He was majorly sexy looking! BUT there was something missing. We don't get to know WHY he looked like that! In the book it's much more described how he's struggling, how much he fears Voldemort and somehow daubts him (I gotta read again, I think)
4) Snape...I wanted to see more of him! And yes, I felt sorry too! I can't describe what I feel for him... I assume you KNOW what happens in the end, even though you haven't read the book??
5) Belatrix...WOW! I thought WOW! She got right back to were she left off in OotP! I thought she was as excellent as in that one! Totally focused and in character and baaaaaaaaaaaddddd and crazy! Perfect job!
6) Weasleys..I want to know MORE about Bill! That was wayyyyyyy too short! In my favourite fic, he has so much to do (and if I rember right in the book as well)! And I think they did choose a nice looking guy! Loved the scar. I, too, missed more scenes with the older cast. So less of Hagrid and REMUS. I missed the lightness of the first movies somehow, even I knew this one would be as sad and serious as the previous one.
7) Mad eye... I gotta admit, I don't remember what she wrote in the book. I think his death was only mentioned as well, we didn't "see" it happen.
8) They missed to mention, that Hagrid and Harry flew on SIRIUS' BIKE!!!!! I thought that was a major mistake. It felt so odd that Sirius didn't get mentioned at all! Grimmauld's Place freaked me out without him but Kreacher still in there! In the book it also was way better shown how much Hedwig's death had an impact on Harry. But that's the good thing in books and fic, you can write down the character's thoughts. You can't show them very well in a movie.
All the things with the wand makers probably were a bit confusing, when you didn't knew the book. It was already confusing when I read it. I also missed the true confusion Harry felt when he found out that (I almost wrote Gandalf lolol) Dumbledore didn't tell him much about his life, that he even lied to him. All that inner struggle was missing. But well, then the movie probably would have been wayyyy longer and I bet some people already thought it boring...Did you read any reviews?
no subject
