I have to see it twice, because the first time my brain was so numb from the exhilaration, but the second time I was able to soak it in and fully enjoy it. I agree with all the above comments. It is certainly a high note to end the series. All actors are at the top of their performances, especially Radcliffe, who nailed almost every critical scene of Harry.
- Helena humored me as a convincing Hermione
- The dragon escape was nicely done
- I love the cello playing in the background when they siege the castle
- More chemistry b/w Harry and Ginny in this film. Bonnie finally is a convincing Ginny
- I love the scene when Pansy asked to seize Harry, both Ginny and Cho stood in front of him.
- Mathew did full justice to Neville
-I was succumbed to tears in the Prince’s Tale. It is the most heart-wrenching romance I’ve ever seen since Titanic.
- The final duel b/w Voldmort and Harry was deviated from the book but equally compelling
- Hermione's emotional farewell to Harry. Love it!
- The duel b/w Mrs. Weasley and Belletrix (well, it slightly confused me too. She used a nonverbal curse. Is it Reducto, b/c Belletrix was literally exploded?)
- Malfoy was called to the death eaters’ side when Harry died and Voldmort asked the students to choose side. Tom is the perfect Malfoy.
- The epilogue is very sweet. Dan is great as a father. Bonnie played a very loving wife. Emma is a great mother. I love the little scene where she covered her mouth in excitement and happiness when she saw a chocolate frog jumped to the window. Just like the first movie. It's very quick and very nostalgic.
Things slightly disappointing:
-the Ron/Hermione kiss, sweet but the angle was wrong again.
- Neville was not bound to the ground in the burning sorting hat before he beheaded the snake. I thought it would be more dramatic and heroic if they had followed the book.
- Harry’s speech that explains to Voldmort who is the true master of death in front of the Hogwarts.
- Olivander’s explanation of the deathly hallows to Harry is an unnecessary alteration b/c Luna’s father has done its justice in the last film.
Overall, the movie was as good as I expected it. Haven't seen it in 3D. I guess I probably cannot resist watching it again
