HP6 Spoilers Abound

Seriously stop reading if you haven't seen Harry Potter yet.

I know everyone that I saw the movie is probably so sick of me saying all this... but gosh. I was disappointed, frustrated, and annoyed by the entire thing. There was way way way too much that was different. Yes you can say, well it's a movie version of it, they will never be the same as books. Ok yes, but you can't just add or take away completely CRUCIAL things in a book. No Gaunts, no Trelawny, no learning why Voldy is the way he is, no explanation of the other Horcruxes, no final battle, no funeral. Hermione was way to showy of her feelings. Tonks and Lupin were already together... the BURROW BURNS DOWN!? What the crap, that like never ever happened. I seriously thought that was just going to be a dream. And then, there was no further mention of it. Hermione just mentions that Harry is in a lot of danger. No duh Sherlock. Ginny nor Ron seemed too upset about it. And what's this about Ginny knowing about the Half Blood Prince or the Room of Requirement? How awkward was every romantic exchange between the entire cast? I mean sure maybe that's how it's supposed to be, but I felt like they spent way too much time "growing them up" and not enough growing Voldemort as a character, or explaining enough for the next movie.

Does anyone who hasn't read the book even know who Fenrir Greyback is? Why the heck did Harry not kill Snape on his way down the stairs? I can't even try to get over the final battle not being there. Fleur and Bill is fine left out I guess... but they better not be there in the 7th movie with Bill a werewolf.

But with all it's problems, and with all my huffiness, sighs, "good griefs", and head in my hands, I thought it was funny. Rupert Grint definitely has a knack for comedy. I hope he isn't resigned to being Ron Weasley for the rest of his life. The love potion scene and the Quidditch stuff were definitely some of the best of the entire series. Even Emma Watson was better this time around. She has mellowed out, and I for once actually enjoyed her character. Daniel Radcliffe was even good! No weird lip movements and he was actually funny! (Hagrid-"I think it's the eyes that scare people off." Harry- "Yeah that or the pincers." cue hand movements portraying pincers) They've all obviously grown up and hopefully will not be stuck with just this as their lifetime acheivement.

Even Tom Felton was on top of his game. Oh man I was SO impressed with him. He really reminded me of some other actor but I cannot put my finger on it. He was so BA. Makes me reminisce about our love of him in 7th grade. Haha.

But anyway, I'm definitely ready for the 7th one already. David Yates has got to redeem himself. Or at least the screenplay writers. Because I don't know exactly what happened, but the 5th one was much closer to book than HBP, and it was the same director.

Grr. I know in a few years I'll go back and watch it and love it. But for now I'm sticking with the die hard in me and letting you know where I stand.
