"Once again I must ask too much of you, Harry." ~ Albus Dumbledore
WAIL!
Okay, moving on, through the tears and sorrow... Seriously, I did love the movie. Did I love it as much as I love the book? Heck no! No matter how well the movies are made, they are always lacking when held up next to the book, and this was no exception. But still, the movie was fabulous. Were there bits left out? Of course. Did I wish they'd taken another 15 minutes to keep things in sync with the book and properly end the movie? Uh... yeah. But you know that I was still totally sitting there verklempt, tears running not only down my face, but down my neck (hi, I am half Ball) in the last 10 minutes.
Oh, geez, I do love this story. I love Harry and I love Dumbledore (of course, I also love the Weasely twins, but that's a post for another day... suffice it to say, I was glad they made an appearance, albeit too short of one and I'm not a fan of their new haircuts, but still...).
The movie's definitely worth seeing. Twice, at least. I'm hoping that the next time I see it, someone will kill Bellatrix. I know it won't happen (yet)... but I really (REALLY) hated her in this one and wished someone would just start screaming swear words at her and curse her into oblivion. Oh, well... I guess I'll just have to wait for that to happen.
For now, I'll just groove on the tension between Ron & Hermione (they did SUCH a good job with that) and savor the goodness of having Dumbledore at Hogwarts. It's a good one... go see it.
*And if you haven't read the books - please do. They're amazing. And beautiful. And poetic. And intense. And hilarious. And inspiring. They are, in a word, magical.

Seeing it Friday, can't wait! This book was my favorite! (not quite as good as Twilight though) GOTCHA! I am totally, totally kidding! (: (:
I SO can't wait to see this. We are going to the IMAX 3D version of it on the 29th.
I have read all of the books and need to reread 6 before then.
Thanks for the heads up to bring the box of kleenex.
