I finally went and saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in the theatre, and I actually really enjoyed it. I know that there are details from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie, that they will need to resolve in the next film. For example, the diadem placement in Hogwarts, and the real owner of the Elder wand.
I enjoyed the realness of the movie though. When Harry, Hermione, and Ron leave they really do struggle, bicker, and feel hopeless about the task ahead of them. They show that in the movie, as well as how long it takes for them to get to the next horcrux. I love the beginning scene of the movie, with all 7 Harry Potters standing around together. It's just like I imagined the scene looking when I read the book. I also love the scene at Luna's father's house, because it shows how desperate people were during the Dark Times. I wish they had followed the book a bit more closely, but I understand their need to cut things out due to time. Another part that I enjoyed, was the scene at the Malfoy's after Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been caught by the Snatchers. It's a very good scene, and goes quite close to the book as well. I enjoy the play between Bellatrix and Hermione, and the conflict within Malfoy.
I wish they had spent more time on the Ministry infiltration scene, since it's such a big part of the book, but I can understand why they cut it shorter. The deaths in this movie are already emotional for Hedwig, Mad-Eye, and Dobby, so I can only imagine how sad the second half will be. I wish they also would have done a little more with the new Minister of Magic, Scrimgour. I am surprised that you only see him once maybe twice, before the patronus message tells everyone that he is dead.
I am very dissapointed that this is the end of Harry Potter, but at least these books and movies got as much fame as they did. I am sad to see them go, but we can always re-read the books and re-watch the movies! There's a lot still left to be revealed, so stick around for part 2 coming this summer!
