I went to the midnight showing, and then I went again today.
I think this one is brilliant. BY FAR, the best of the series.I loved the little things in this movie, things most people don't notice or pay attention to.
I LOVED how rich the musical score was. I was SEVERELY disappointed with Order of the Phoenix, but Half Blood Prince more than makes up for it. I love how they brought back the Quidditch theme from Prizoner of Azkaban, and modified the Quidditch World Tornament theme from Goblet of Fire, and I think there was a bit of Umbridge's tossed in there as well. Not to mention all the new themes we got to hear!! It was musically a complilation of all the previous films, and I was extremely pleased!
My one only
REAL complaint was that they didn't include Snape's line while they were making their escape towards the end!!
Harry: "FIGHT BACK, YOU COWARD!!!"
Snape: :calmly turns and walks away:
He should have shouted back at Harry: "DON'T CALL ME COWARD!!"
I can understand why some scenes need to be cut or why some scenes need to be created for the sake of movie time constraints, but I couldn't believe they cut that ONE line out!! That was like...Snape's defining line in Half Blood Prince!!! [in my opinion anyway...] It would have taken an extra what?..12 seconds to say!?
BUT overall I think it was a wonderfully directed movie, and can't wait 'til Deathly Hallows premires. Yay for two-part movies!!
Side note....:
..am I the only who thinks that everyone is TINY in this film!? Both Emma Watson and Bonnie Wright look like they might disappear!! Someone get them a cheeseburger and some fries, quick!! And Tom too!! He looked very slight!! I know that was the point, but JEEEEZE!! Eat up, you three!!!!
