Fusion X. Denver Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 [quote name='Flame Dragon' timestamp='1311714185' post='5389327'] Trust me, its a lot more epic in the book. [/quote] Really? I kinda thought Nagini's death was too sudden in the book. The thing about the book was it only referenced what everyone was doing with a couple sentences. Which was both a good and bad thing. Good because it didn't stray from the plot too much and it let us know what everyone was doing. Bad because it glossed over some of the details people would be wanting to know, such as how people went about dueling and that kind of thing. It's epic either way though. Neville had one of the best character growths in the whole series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnSlaUghT Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I just saw it today and I have to say, regardless of the few inaccuracies with the book, it was still a really good movie. 2 things they should've done was put more emphasis on Snape and actually explain how Voldermort died, people who never read the book would assume its because Neville destroyed the last Horcrux. Being someone who read the books, then watched the movie I thought it was a bit rushed, and it flew by me like nothing, but looking back I realised that it was truly was a good movie and any problems I had with it was only because I read the book.

Dragon7OP Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I think that we all agree the movie was very different from the book, most notably the stuff with Dumbledore. It was an important development in the character, and impacted Harry himself. But still, who would have [i]wanted [/i]to watch the stuff with Dumbledore's past? When reading the books, you can see how it affects Harry, and how he deals with it, mainly due to the book being from Harry's point of view. You read [i]his [/i]thoughts, [i]his [/i]actions and [i]his [/i]story. In the movie, you are a casual bystander who can no more see their inner nature than any of us here can. The movie was for action, and was exceptional in it's own way (Especially for essentially being the last two scenes from the book). If people wanted the deep, philosophical concepts, it's all there waiting in the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merci Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I'm going to watch it later. Wonder how they changed it from the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelp' Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I just saw it. I nearly cried at the Battle of Hogwarts. Anything dramatic usually brings me to tears. I didn't read the book but I was a bit upset at some of the parts. But all in all, it was a good end to the series. Sad to see it end though.

Merci Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just saw it. It was interesting, especially since they showed Nagini's invulnerability as a Horcrux, something the book didn't show. Ollivander knowing about the Deathly Hallows is OK, IMO. But being the observant guy I am, I noticed about two or three scenes where they were lazy with the special effects and didn't blend in with the background. What also bothered me was that whenever Harry and Voldemort cast spells at each other at the same time, there was the link, which isn't meant to be possible. The audience in the cinema laughed when the one Death Eater slowly took steps forward when Voldemort destroyed the barrier, and then when he found out that out and they all began charging, Neville. . .! Again when Neville stepped forward when Voldemort asked for those to step forward to become his followers, and he was like 'I was expecting someone a little more. . . impressive'. Alas, poor Neville, existing only to be comic relief (Oh and epically chopping off Nagini's head). Well, it was a really interesting movie, and they added comedy at the exact right moments. There were one or two scenes which made me nearly want to cry (I think it was when Harry viewed Snape's memories). True, it had inconsistencies with the book, but if you don't compare the book with the movie, truly one would believe the movie was a masterpiece, and it was, a masterpiece.

Flinsbon Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 [quote name='機皇神龍アステリスク' timestamp='1311468877' post='5381760'] SPOILERS BANG BANG I [i]hated[/i] the Deathly Hallows book, so it was no surprise that I was ambivalent about the movie. Things made more sense, at least, and all non-plot-related stuff was good. Voldemort was just as much as a silly caricature as he was in Book 7. There were some choices made in a few places made just to get a cheap cry or laugh which made me lose a bit of respect for whoever was directing it. [b]I...never mind, hopefully everyone understands what's so absurd about this.[/b] EDIT: In the row ahead of me were a like ten screaming fangirls. They were so adorable...it made me want to crack open their heads and admire their hollow skulls. EDIT2: [i]I get it[/i], the Death Eaters are Nazis. Voldemort by this point is essentially Hitler in a different body. [/quote] would u mind enlightening me to what is so absurd about what i said? For everyone's reference, I had said that I wished Molly killed Bellatrix with Avada Kedavra, rather than shriveling her up and shattering her because I thought it would have been more epic. I also said I figured they wanted to keep Avada Kedavra for the bad guys to emphasize the evil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementuo Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Epic Neville + Sword = Snake Death = Moment of Win. Harry + Epic Wand Catch = Insta-kill? = What? Probably my favorite moment would be *spoilers* After Snape dies, and Harry finds out he's a Horcrux. Just, the music, the atmosphere, the acting, the script... Everything in that scene was perfect. Oh, and I got to see it 4 days before it was officially released. I have a shirt, poster, and ticket stub to prove it. I got sorted officially into Gryffindor House, while my sisters got sorted into Ravenclaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larxene Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 You all really need to stop complaining about the changes made from the book. Especially about things that COULDN'T have been added to the movie due to what was left out of the first 7 movies. Ignore the book altogether while you watch it and just enjoy the damn movie, jeez. I liked the book. I liked the movie. They're two completely separate things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flinsbon Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 the whole reason she intervened, cursing, was that Bellatrix was threatening Ginny. im pretty sure Molly could have cast it successfully if she wanted to. she seemed pretty pissed and dangerous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
