Earlier in the thread I said I was going to wait for the DVD, but we went tonight.
A-
A few points:
Spoiler!
First, the 3D was garbage. I don't know if my eyes don't work together properly or it was bad quality or what, but it added nothing to the movie, except when the shield around Hogwarts fell and bits of shield-residue <?> were floating in the air.
It seemed to me that the movie tried to be tricksy and fool casual fans into thinking Snape was Harry's father with the whole patronus-confusion, the tears, the way it played out. I've read the book, so I knew what was going on, but by GF has not read it and when I mentioned it after, she said "was he his father?"
100^12 times better than part one. Lots of action, great pace, looked great, didn't let the boring '19-years later' ending that was in the book drag on.
Helena Botham Carter is still a total babe. I don't know what you Hermioniieiee people are talking about, she still looks, like, 14.
EDIT: Geez, do we need spoiler code, this is a thread about the movie after all.
