Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part. 2. What did you think? (SPOILERS)

I just came back from one of the most crowded midnight premieres I have ever witnessed. I thought it was pretty good. Though I felt as if it was missing something and felt too short. I was expecting more from the Harry vs. Voldemort fight. At the end of the movie I was kind of like "that's it?" "that's it from the finale?".

Maybe it was just me but I was kind of expecting more. That aside, I thought everything else was pretty good. It's sad to see the franchise close though. Glad it closed on a high note. The 19 years later part was really funny seeing them older. :lol:

I read the spoiler years ago:P

Does there honestly need to be a warning

Yeah, my midnight showing was packed as well.

I thought the film would've been a little better if it replaced some of the cheesy fan service in the beginning with some character moments between the three leads or perhaps Voldemort, but otherwise I thought it was about the best ending that the series could really hope for. And for all of the *****ing about the epilogue, I thought it was perfect in execution and it was exactly the right way to leave the series.

I am in tears. It over!:cry: Oh man what a wonderful end to the movies. I wish they had went a little deeper with Dumbledore's past and Ginny x Harry's relationship through but otherwise I love it, probably my favorite HP movie.

Also for my first experience at a midnight opening it wasn't too bad but not surprising it was pretty crowded.:P

Hah I'm going to see it a little later this morning. Funny to hear people laughing about the final scene when they're older. I was thinking that might happen.

not reading any of your comments because im going too see it at 4PM today. :D i'll post my thoughts later.

looking forward to it though, the reviews seem to suggest it is the best in the series.

i liked almost all of them except the last two, i thought they were a bit boring.

It was AMAZING. Best in the series by far. I'm feeling depressed that it's over though :(

very good! definetely the best Harry Potter film.

the fight scenes were awesome.

the only part that annoys me is that the kids still aren't acted anywhere near aswell as the grownups, that counts in all the movies. i just can't take the serious scenes with harry & co that seriously.

especially when these two are on screen, it shows.

the scenes with voldemort talking in front of his followers, i could watch for hours.

Goodbye childhood. You were great while it lasted. Serial-No_3404

yeah there was not a single empty seat in the theatre I went to, and they showed it on five screens too!

anyway, I loved it. The pacing was a lot better than part 1, and the whole movie was just great. Hands down, Harry Potter is the best book-to-film adaptation I have ever seen.

Oh, and I am soooooooooooo happy they went with the book ending. Such a sweet, happy ending

alot of the "kids" on the train looked older than them.

I always feel the Harry Potter movies are too short and missing things from the books. Literally every movie.

As far as the Harry Voldemort battle goes I would argue the movie did it better than the book. If you remember the book gave the fight all of one paragraph before it was over. Rowling herself admits that she isn't all that great at writing battle scenes, and this was the book where most editors didn't get to touch her work to make it shine. Shouldn't be any surprise then that the final fight wasn't all that great nor did the book really live up to the other 6.

That being said it's still better than 90% of other stuff out there, but we need to compare it to the rest of the series.

I thought Bellatrix's and Voldemort's deaths were kind of underwhelming, but Im glad Mrs. Weasly still used my favorite line :)

It was great all around though, and I'm depressed to see the series has finally ended. Thanks Rowling for a great childhood!

The action was awesome, it was very well shot, directed and acted... But my problem is the story was just flat out underwhelming...

Ok my first problem, this was the climax of eight movies, 7 books.. and I felt like Harry did .. nothing. lol I mean what did he learn? What did he do that helped him kill Voldemort?.. I mean he killed the Horcruxes or w/e .. which is something anyone else could have pretty much done.. and then Voldemort just kind of .. died.. and that was it.. Like really? I mean eight movies and we couldn't get a better pay off than that?

And Dumbledors plan to defeat Voldemort made NO SENSE.. I mean he had like what 20 years to plan this out?.. and his plan is that Snape needs to kill him.. so that when Voldemort tries to use his wand, he won't be able to because it will belong to snape and when he tries to kill harry he will kill himself... Like are you kidding me that is his plan?.. First off.. If he has the elder wand THEN WHY DOES HE NEED TO DIE?.. If he has the most powerful wand in the world then why doesn't he use it against voldemort?.. Because if it is not powerful enough to kill voldemort THEN WHY DOES VOLDEMORT WANT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?.. Wasn't his wand strong enough already? he could have used it to kill Harry and everyone else!... He DIDN'T NEED IT because no one else was stronger than him either way.. Especially if there was any risk that it would somehow backfire on him why in gods name is it that important.. it isn't..

Also if Dumbledore was aware of all the horcruxes that he needed to destroy, THEN WHY DIDN'T HE DESTROY THEM ALREADY?.. You would think that if he had planned to sacrifice himself he would have made sure all the Horcruxes other than harry had been destroyed already, especially because HALF of them were INSIDE OF HOGWARTS.. RIGHT THERE.. infront of his face.. and he just says MEH Somebody will probably figure it out and take care of them eventually...WHAT?..

Oh.. And Ron knows Parcel tongue.. HOW.. That isn't something you can just imitate.. He learned it from Harry? not possibile.. The whole point of that was that like you have to be able to do it you can't just imitate it.. And it JUST so happens the little bit of parcel tongue he knows just so happens to be the password to the Chamber of Secrets... Jesus.. and also why did Ron and Hermione need to go there to kill the Horcrux anyhow?.. There was no reason to other than to grab a tooth to kill it with.. There weren't any sharp or heavy objects anywhere else?

Also, it felt like nobody cared about anything that was happening.. I mean how many people has Voldemort killed? Hes killed Harry's parents, his friends destroyed the school ruined his life and yet Harry doesn't have ANYTHING to say to him.. like no words to Voldemort about how hes wrong or how he'll make him pay or whatever.. NOTHING... Even Ron, he kills his brother and its like he doesn't even care.. He cries off screen for like what.. 10 seconds? and then after that its like nothing even happened.. 10 minutes later he is like LOL Harry if we use that wand we will be unstoppable am I right Hermione? *nudge nudge*... I mean so many people, main characters DIE in this movie and we feel nothing because

1) We don't see it happen

2) Nobody seems to really care enough to have any sort of emotion about it, i mean we don't get so much as a funeral, or anything that shows how much all these lost lives even mean.

And remember when Voldemort said HARRY IS DEAAD!!.. Ron and Hermione just kind of stand there like.. Oh well thats a shame then lol COME ON!! Jinny I guess kind of broke out a little but thats the most the supposed death of the Hero of the series can muster?.. My god.

Well thats my little rant I guess, idk maybe I'm wrong people seemed to like it but I just felt that for a series that spanned 7 books and eight movies I felt there should have been more gravity in the way it ended.. I mean Toy Story 3, which is only like 3 hour and a half movies had a WAAAAY bigger more impactive ending and that is a movie about TOYS for gods sakes, I mean when you are getting out done in your endings by movies about Toys I think you could have done a bit better...

Disappointed, I have to say.

I already know I'm going to buy it on Blu-Ray, so I'm just going to wait for it to come out on Blu-Ray and save myself the ridiculous ticket prices, overpriced concessions and burned fuel on the way to the theatre. Plus, I can avoid the crowds and noises and unruly children, and the silly cos-playing Harry Potter nerds. JustPlainLucas

Awesome movie. Just got back from seeing it. I laughed, I cried, I cheered. Such an epic movie and a great way to wrap up the movie series.

I guess maybe the ending was a bit over dramatic, but I understand they need to make it theatrical.

Must have been great sitting next to the dark lord lol.:P

Wow. I had tons of gripes with with Part I, but Part II was a truly excellent Harry Potter movie, easily the best. It really left the other ones completely in the dust. Unlike the other movies, this one constantly had momentum, it was constantly exciting, constantly eventful, and there actually was a sense of danger. Danielle Radcliffe actually turned in a pretty powerful performance in this one and that's impressive since the movie rested on his shoulders IMO.

There was still a bit of awkward editing, but this movie was entertaining in a way that the other Potter films weren't. They were entertaining in their own way, but had tons of moments that drag. This movie is entertaining on another level in that it was entertaining from start to finish and had more emotional gravity than the others. I actually think this last Potter film was pretty much on the level of The Dark Knight as far as hero movies are concerned.

That being said, The Dark Knight Rises trailer was unbelievably lackluster. If people actually paid the price of a ticket to see that, then they have to be pretty damn dissapointed.

And Dumbledors plan to defeat Voldemort made NO SENSE.. I mean he had like what 20 years to plan this out?.. and his plan is that Snape needs to kill him.. so that when Voldemort tries to use his wand, he won't be able to because it will belong to snape and when he tries to kill harry he will kill himself...

Especially if there was any risk that it would somehow backfire on him why in gods name is it that important.. it isn't..VendettaRed07

First of all, Voldemort is too ignorant as to the nuances of the Elder Wand to understand that it wouldn't automatically make him as powerful as he thinks. Voldemort thinks that if someone as powerful as him procures the wand, he will be unstoppable. That's as far as his thinking on that subject goes.

Dumbledore had to die because he was all ready dying. When he destroyed one of the Horcruxes, he was fatally cursed and only had a year to live anyway.

Also if Dumbledore was aware of all the horcruxes that he needed to destroy, THEN WHY DIDN'T HE DESTROY THEM ALREADY?.. You would think that if he had planned to sacrifice himself he would have made sure all the Horcruxes other than harry had been destroyed already, especially because HALF of them were INSIDE OF HOGWARTS.. RIGHT THERE.. infront of his face.. and he just says MEH Somebody will probably figure it out and take care of them eventually...WHAT?..VendettaRed07

Dumbledore was all ready in the process of destroying them. He destroyed one of them himself. The ring.

Oh.. And Ron knows Parcel tongue.. HOW.. That isn't something you can just imitate.. He learned it from Harry? not possibile.. The whole point of that was that like you have to be able to do it you can't just imitate it.. And it JUST so happens the little bit of parcel tongue he knows just so happens to be the password to the Chamber of Secrets... Jesus.. and also why did Ron and Hermione need to go there to kill the Horcrux anyhow?.. There was no reason to other than to grab a tooth to kill it with.. There weren't any sharp or heavy objects anywhere else?VendettaRed07

I thought the Parsletongue thing was kind of silly and dues ex machinaish, but the tooth doesn't kill the Horcrux because it's sharp and heavy. It kills it because basilisk venom is one of the only things that is strong enough to destroy a Horcrux. A sharp and heavy object is not going to be enough. You need something with powerful magic properties, like basilisk venom, which is contained in one of its teeth.

it was fantastic

spoilers: it was hilarious seeing malphoy in the 19 years later when he had that beard . and i noticed baby harry potter had unattached ear lobes, mean while regular harry potter has attached, and you could argue his ears changed as he grew, however that seems pretty unlikely to meJdog30

130 min is a short movie? i thought inception was really long at 148 min but i guess thats just averagekbpyrokb

130 mins is not a short movie. It's just short for a Potter movie. I actually thought this Potter movie had the best length. Some of the others were way too long.

I liked the final movie alot, although I wish it had stayed more faithful to the book in the final battle.

It was a damn good movie, but far from perfect, the movie has several problems:

• Some parts feels slow.
• Some parts feels rushed.
• The Final battle was kind of a letdown (again rushed).
• Some parts were too cheese.

Still it was a very enjoyable movie with very memorable moments and i have to say i liked the epilogue, i thought it was going to be very cheese, but it wasn't, it was good, however, once again, i was a little bit rushed, i think they should have made the movie a little bit longer, 2:30 would have been great to give more details on some events (Some of the deaths and some of the battles), a solid 8.5 IMHO.

i loved it, kinda random and early for Hermione & Ron to kiss (but i havent read the books so it was a surprise for me) i was expecting to kiss at the end, also some funny parts, loved when Ron's mom cussed when fighting at the end, the whole theater lol'd, and loved the ending

did anyone else love Mcgonagall in this film? Personally I thought she nailed it in every scene she was in. Or am I just blinded by my love of Maggie Smith's acting?

Serraph105

McGonagall was beyond awesome. I never thought I'd find an old woman to be so cool and badass, but in this moive, she definitely was.

Although they decided to leave out/alter many important events from the book, it was still a pretty good movie. It was sad seeing it end too..The same feeling I had when I finished the last book a few years ago.

I just wish the final battle had included their final talk, that's really what brought it all together and made it feel as though it came to a close. Them chasing each other around pulled away from it.HybridPhoenix

I did prefer the final talk over the chase/battle (as it made more sense story-wise), but if one judges the movie as its own entity (which is how I tend to evaluate these movies), Ithought the battle/chase worked very well cinematically.
