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 really didn't see an issue with the way the actors were made up for the epilogue. I mean, you could tell they were older, but not so old that they couldn't passably be in their 30's. I mean, I'm almost 35 and I get mistaken for being in my 20's all the time. Besides, it wouldn't have been the same if they had older actors playing them as older. I mean, these kids have been playing these characters for 10 years. To me, they ARE the characters.

But, everyone is entitled to how they feel. I would see it again in a heartbeat, but that's just me. I didn't have too many issues with the minor things that were changed like Harry snapping the Elder Wand in half and tossing the pieces. It was technically his to do with as he saw fit. Maybe I need a second viewing to catch some of the things I missed. I might've been slightly delirious since I went to see it the day after I got out of the hospital, lol.

Harry waits for no one!!!

I actually loved Harry breaking the wand that way. Because it was so anticlimatic. Like "yeah, i,ve been doing epic stuff all my life. Kinda tired of it." *snaps*
