Well tomorrow after what my math professor has promised me is "the most difficult exam in the course" I am going to see the movie. Woohoo! biggrin

The actress for Narcessa Malfoy lookds and dresses like my grandmother. If she bloody TALKS or sounds like her (and my grandmother is British- myself being American born, thank you!- ugh...this does not bode well) I am going to let out the manliest scream of rage I have ever made in my fanboy life. scream

Wish me luck!

Druella Black Rosier

Haha~ ;D

Charlie Weasley... I totally forgot about him... sweatdrop

Wit beyond measure...

SEE!
It's really easy to do!

Perfectly Drugged, the thing about Mr Weasley knocking up Molly makes no sense though, seeing as Bill was their first born =/
But you're probably right that he was probably meant to amount to more but JKR failed.

... because Death Eater's do it better.

I saw the film at the weekend
and what can I say other than "disappointed . . . as usual."

I should have known that the focus on the film would be off, as it always is. I mean, half the time I felt as if I was watching some romantic comedy seeing the amount of screentime that was wasted on showing Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron subtext took over most of the film.
Forget about the past of Tom Riddle, forget about the obsession with Draco becoming a Death Eater and potential murderer . . . lets worry about who snogs who. D;
I also felt really uncomfortable watching the Harry/Ginny scenes, too. It made me feel as if I had stumbled upon some child porn ring. It was just so amateur and you could just tell there was no real chemistry between either actors involved.

Then, the CGI (such as the fire in the cave & the cave itself) failed. It looked like the film had gone back a notch, rather than improved itself, despite how much time it took to make and wait for. :/
It looked fake and therefore ruined what could have been a very dramatic scene.

Dumbledores death was so anti-climatic I couldn't believe. It was like when they killed off Sirius. It was so quick, pointless and without enough acknowledgement from other characters that it seemed as if it hadn't happened at all.

I could complain for ages, but I cant be bothered.
I'm worried about an interview I have today.
Oh and also, hey everyone~

[LIL_BROTHER94]

this is awsome

[Z OMG]

Wit beyond measure...

I guess you're right Mistress (especially about Sirius' death - gosh, don't get me started) but you know me, complete Ron/Hermione shipper to the end xD
I wanted more focus on Tom Riddle. I mean, isn't that the whole point of the book? Harry goes to Dumbledore's office and learns about Tom Riddle.
Repeatedly to the extent of becoming ******** annoying?

I agree about the Harry/Ginny stuff. She's nothing like the Ginny in my head.
She's a bit too weedy and definitely not bolshie enough.
At least the 'conga in his chest' line was sufficiently by-passed.
They've got to kiss more than that in Deathly Hallows. Her Birthday-kiss-to-Harry is like, proper going for it xD
And the Ron/Hermione one better be good or I WILL start throwing things at the screen. At least, for now, Rupert and Emma work a bit better together.

I wanted the scene where:
A) Dumbledore said: I'm not afraid Harry, I'm with you.
B) Hagrid is just like 'Dumbledore is not dead'.
Oh and Dumbledore's funeral, but I've heard that might be at the beginning of Deathly Hallows so I shall reserve complete judgment until such a time.

I had thought of something else I was going to say but it's totally gone.

... because Death Eater's do it better.

HEY every one so guess what I go tomorrow to find out if im having twins

[Maearra]

I agree with all those who are saying the film was dissapointing because of the wrong focus. I know they seemed to try and lighten things up a bit, but that wasn't the point of the book, and they should know by now that's what most of the viewers would want. The plot is what we want, not insignificant details, such as the fact that Dumbledore has suddenly become interested in Harry's love life. confused

And what the hell was going on with the burning down of the Burrow? I have to say that scene annoyed me most of all. That was definately not needed, and I was hoping Harry would start off at the Dursley's like he does in the book, rather than trying to chat up some girl in a cafe.

Some scenes were done well, but I have to say the ending was bordering on appalling. I cannot believe that there were people crying in the cinema at Dumbledore's death, because the film didn't portray it in a way that was at all sad.
They could have done so much more with that. And what about the battle everyone was hoping for at the end?

Ahhh, it irritates me.

[Athella Kaie Riddle]

Too true. I had to snort at his death I mean... Slow motion falling? And his arms were waving about. He's one of my favorite characters too. When the scene at the burrow came up I was like "Wut? Did I miss a few pages in the book?" I think they went way over board there. In stead of that stupid scene they could've added more Tom Riddle memories. There were way too few of those.

Is it just me or do you guys agree that the actor for Teen Tom wasn't... Ideal. Less bad than Narcissa though. I had alway imagined him much differently with high, prominent cheekbones. Not a round face with squeezable cheeks.

[Maearra]

Agree wholeheartedly about the Tom Riddle scenes. Don't even get me started on that, haha. They should have included many more, and much more emphasis should have been on his background- that's what I was looking forward to in the film the most. And as for teen Tom, I always imagined him looking a lot different to that- taller, thinner, with the high, prominent cheek bones he's always described to have had. He was also supposed to be very handsome. Silly, annoying casting strikes again.

[mariafnll]

i am still on harry potters side....but i do like black...even though he isnt on the dark side but still

[Z OMG]

Wit beyond measure...

See, what irritated me about teenage Tom Riddle was that he asked Slughorn about Horcruxes he was about 16, no? He'd killed his father and grandparents already, as well as framing Morphin.
Yet, teenage Tom Riddle looked about 13 at most.
Diary!Tom looked older than that and he made the ring after D:

... because Death Eater's do it better.

[Maearra]

The same thing irritated me. He did look way too young. I know they couldn't bring Coulson back, being as he's now 30, but I think they could have found an older looking actor. Grrrrr...

[Z OMG]

Wit beyond measure...

Coulson is 30 eep.

... because Death Eater's do it better.

[GladexDeraxCloud]

i'm just catching up but um i watched it and yes the teen voldemort and narcissa (who looked like and inversed skunk) were awfully cast. i was very upset on the focus and had hope to see the gaunt family and more memories. i did like the "harry on drugs" part though cause it was really funny.

I work at a movie theater and yeah it's true that the next one will open with dumbledores funeral

[Maearra]

Z OMG: Yeah, he is! I know it's hard to believe. He hasn't really aged much since COS anyway, which is why they could have even got away with bringing him back in HBP with a lot makeup or something...who knows, it could have worked. And no reason why they couldn't have included the scenes where Tom is slightly older, like when he visits Hepzibah Smith, which he could have played easily.

GladexDeraxCloud: Yep, Narcissa was also badly casted. I don't know why they put that odd dark stripe in her hair either. confused
Well if the next film opens with Dumbledore's funeral I will be slightly less upset.
