YES! I'VE WATCHED IT LAST NITE!
I waited for more than a year since HBP. Not only for me too.
The waiting kept me crazy but it was worth it.
I'm not sure if you other fans are like me but I quite like the wait.
Probably because I didn't want HP to end so quickly and I'm so glad that the last book was spilt into 2 films.
And there are far too many things to squeeze into one.
So, how was it?
Well, it was farrrr more than good..
FANTASTIC! would be a better description in caps,bold and the exclamation mark.
Some things were added in.
- Showing Hermione's muggle home and sadly oblivating (removing) her parents' memory of her.
- Harry and Hermione dancing in the tent while Ron left. (It is obvious that she love Ron)
- Showing Snatchers & Hermione's wonderful magic work
I posted this on my FB wall.

Daniel was actually really scared of him since his first film.
It's only a film It's only a film It's only a film It's only a film It's only a film. Nothing's real.
LOL
Well, Alan Rickman is an excellent actor. No doubts.

I enjoyed the animated part which was used to "show" the story contents rather than just watching Hermione sitting on the couch and reading from it. Using real people to act out would be less appropriate too.
By doing animations instead of using real people, it distinguishes the difference between
"Memories/Voldy's mind" from a "Story book"
Funny and Serious
There are quite alot of funny moments even though it is a serious business to look for Horcuxes.
But they stop at "the point" appropriately without being overboard.
In random,
- In the MOM, the trio set off to look for the locket disguised as workers with Polyjuice Potion.
"Cattlemole Ron" was told that his "Wife" was in being on trial and he really was worried about it until Harry told him he doesn't have a wife.
And after they rescued the "Wife", she kissed Ron on the lips as the real Cattlemole stood there. Ron had changed back to himself and told the latter that it was a long story on why they kissed. - Harry's dancing with Hermione. Erm. His expressions and dancing was so funny.
3. 6 "Harries" are transformed to confuse the Death Eaters while escaping. Among them, 2 was Hermione and Fleur. When they remove their clothes to change into Harry's ones, "Fleur", actually wore a bra. And when they stood in the line, well, I sld say that Daniel has the potential to act as a gay. And seeing Daniel removing and putting on clothes so many times with different expressions and behaviour is extremely funny.
Draco Speechless
In this film, Draco barely made a sound. Lucky him, no scripts to memorise.
Wrapping up
I wonder how are they going to wrap up. I got a little worried. But it was unnecessary.
It ended when Voldy took the wand from Dumbledore's grave and set a lightning into the sky
to show his formidable powers. Poor Voldy thought he gets the Elder wand.
But too bad. Harry had the Elder Wand. Don't get it?
Watch Dumbledore's death scene and this movie again.
This is quite alot of spoilers.

I'm a HP fan but I started a couple of years ago only.
My sister read the books since its first movie and I had zero interest for it.
It was until her friend bought her the last book and I liked the hard cover and the drwg of the locket.
So I actually started reading from the last book.
And I fell in love with it.
Eventually I bought the whole set, hardcover ones from Amazon.uk and
ever since been reading it over and over again. I do read other books too.
But I never get sick of them. Everytime I read, I discover new things which was interesting.
But there are so many slots for this movie over the week so don't worry if you haven't watch it.
For us, the fans, let's watch it again and again! DVD takes time to produce.
And congrats to the bosses owning cinemas. HUGE REVENUE to end this year.
Supply and Demand, everybody is happy and I'm not complaining.
But remember to give your employees bonuses! Christmas is round the corner, share the joy~
Talking about money, $1,280,000,000 is the budget for all the 7 films.
$5,417,096,705 was the gross revenue from the 6 films. (Source:Wikipedia)
WOW
It is amazing. J.K Rowling, you made Money move.
You've made Harry Potter and his friends millionaires.
You've made yourself a millonaire too.
Well, luck plays a part on your success but you can really write.
Choosing the choice of words, characters, plots etc are very difficult.
Everybody can write.
But in order to have people wanting to read your books is a challenge.
To have people obsessed with your books is another higher challenge.
And I'm not denying that I read the 7 books over and over again. Hehe.
And also for the film makers, you all have done really well.
Making a movie is a huge bet.
Either you Win or you Lose.
And we're talking about millions of money and efforts from your people.
Btw, props and backdrops etc have always fascinated me.
Other than the more side on the money, HP films have 4 directors.
Perhaps I've missed out on some juicy gossip news, there must have been some reasons on
why the directors kept changing.
Change of perspective? Maybe. Someone with a track record? Y ask him in the first place?
Maybe some things are best left uncovered.
But I want to raise something.
I'm happy that Dobby was back in the 7th.
Dobby appeared in a few of the books but somebody removed his share in the previous films.
This character is important.
One more thing, Hermione is "in-love" with elves. She even set up S.P.E.W for the welfare of them.
But do I see Hermione shouting at Kreacher?
Maybe to show Kreacher change his attitude towards the trio would be nice.
Hence, we don't mind if you made a longer movie with all the necessary/correct parts.
Just don't cut here and there. No discounts.
This is also for other film makers. Period.
Enjoy your movie!
p/s: i couldnt undo the white highlighted parts. sorry abt that.
`Do-dos
