Saw the final Harry Potter, and plan to go back for a second viewing. Generally, the movie was good. A good finish to the series. Could have done without the creepy evil make-up epilogue, but the rest was great. Loved Neville, Luna and McGornagall. I find Radcliffe to be a mediocre actor, but I can say that he knows how to do two things really, really well : amazement and fear. So that came in handy in this movie! I liked the flashbacks, but felt kinda sad that we didn't get Dumbledore's. Also, the Ravenclaw ghost is lovely. :D what did you guys think of it?

Have some Snape and Lily goodness. Those poor kids!

I've only ever gotten up to the fifth book, and that was many years ago. For some reason I stopped reading.
But when we were at the cottage we went to the drive-in without knowing what was playing and ended up watching this movie. I actually got pretty into it (despite mostly not having a CLUE what was going on.)

I think I must have stopped reading the books because I can't handle all the emotion. I get overly attached to fictional plots and characters. I would have cried for every single death!
And then I got so sad at the end for some reason, when they're watching their kids go off to Hogwarts, and that's the end of the harry potter saga I know so many people grew up with.
Sorry for rambling!!
and omg, lol'd so hard at the comic when Snape's editing his past - MORE LENS FLARE!

MY PAST NEEDS MORE SHINY.

I think that's the cool thing about characters that grow up with you as opposed to characters who keep the same age and have a neverending franchise. The limited amount of time you have with them and their evolution makes them feel real and precious.

SO TRUE.
I have always had issues when it comes to aging and growing up :p, so that's probably why such endings are always bittersweet to me.
