I would've rewatched it, but I'm not emotionally ready yet.
Okay, so this is my least favorite adaption of the Harry Potter movies, but it is the best movie out of them all (in my opinion, and also IMDB's). Some of the others may have been less faithful to the books, but this one was the one that I noticed the most, and pissed me off the most. The reason this one is so annoying to me is because they took out all the things that made me so satisfied with the ending in the book- with the movie I was like What? That's it? That is where you leave me? NO!!! Also, Draco's character was so much weaker in the movie than in the book. In the book he wasn't that strong, but he wasn't THAT weak.
Another thing that upset me was that Daniel Radcliffe really couldn't pull of 17. There are people who can pull it off until they're like 30, but he isn't one of them. I know there are teenagers who look middle aged, but for the most part, teenagers look a lot younger(there was a huge physical appearance jump between the Goblet of Fire and the Order of the Phoenix, big years in developing). Don't hold me to that.
The end again, WHY DIDN'T HE FIX HIS WAND? YOU DON'T HAVE A WAND IF YOU BREAK THE ELDER WAND AND DON'T FIX YOUR OWN!!! YOU'RE NOT ACTUALLY GOING TO USE MALFOY'S FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. There were just so many small things that made me upset about that ending.
When they didn't show Fred's death, I was okay with it at the time, but now I am pissed off that I didn't get to see one of my favorite characters through to the end. I needed him. Come back to me...
I really liked Snape's memories, and the shell shocked feeling of almost the entire movie. Also the score, which I will be talking about a lot more. Question: if Snape loved Lily so much as to have his patronus change, why didn't James' change? Did he not love Lily?
I didn't like the Chamber of Secrets scene with Ron and Hermoine, because I just don't ship them that much. I actually don't ship almost any of the characters, except maybe Harry and Ginny, only because of how they really got to get to know each other (#Voldermort). Otherwise, no, just no.
Neville killing Nagini and then Voldermort crumbling to the ground in front of only Harry pissed me off so much. THAT IS NOT HOW YOU DIE!!! UNTIL HARRY KILLS THE HORCRUX INSIDE OF YOU, YOU ARE STILL ALIVE! WHAT IS HAPPENING!!! This made me more upset than the wand, and that made me so mad. So mad. I can't even keep talking about this because it makes me so mad.
Lupin and Tonks holding hands when they died was just so sweet... (you can see my fanfiction about that here). I really miss them... Also, Tonks, why don't you go by your birth name- it's so awesome. Nymphadora. Nymphadora!!! And Lupin, you will always be the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher (we never really met Moody). *sigh*
I can't believe that I had never seen the ending of this before, and I kind of wish that I had never been spoiled for Harry Potter. I mean, it's not that big of a deal to me, because I still loved the books, but I wish I could've gone into them knowing nothing. Well, I'll just have my kids do that and videotape it.
Also, I'm having trouble putting the release of this movie into context of my brain. Divergent was out before this was. How? That couldn't happen? How could've that happened? NO!
There are many more things, but I'll talk about that later!!!
