I'm really quite happy at how this film turned out.

The last HP film was shit. They spent far too much time focussing on the romances of each of the individual characters, something that was very much overshadowed in the book. Also leaving out the conclusion in the previous film 'to prevent it being too similar to the 7th' was a stupid idea, considering they're releasing it in two parts AND there is usually at least a year's wait between the films.

But this film was brilliant, and probably the best of the series so far. I was a little put-off by the book, and felt it wasn't as strong as the other books, but the film actually blew me away, and made many semgents much interesting (and memorable) than the book did.

I especially liked the first scene of the film, since it was only mentioned in passing in the book. It was heart-wrenching.

I also felt the colour drain from my face during the first 'significant' death of the film, I knew it was coming but for some reason it was very powerful. Her death was more upsetting than even Sirius' was.

I wish there wasn't an 8-month gap now though...
