Fantastic end (even though I read the books)
The scene with Snape and Harry is quite touching.
A close second is Thor.
I can't believe there are no HP fans here??
Haven't seen it yet. Heard it was fantastic from about a dozen friends who saw it. I want to wait a couple of weeks until the madness at the theater dies down!
I've read all the books, the first few aloud.
It used to be a family thing to go see the movies as released but I'll probably wait for the DVD release.
With a 2y 7 month and a 7 month old I don't get out much anymore. Movies seem like a luxury now.
I saw it, but (And here is where hate mail starts flooding my inbox) did not like it at all, really.
Well-made, but somehow... Thin. Never been a fan of them books eiher...
I started reading the first book after they became all the rage... never finished it. Thought it boring.
I watched the first movie and the little kid that plays Harry bothered me, so I never watched any of the others. My wife is all it to them though. She went and liked it.
Really. I only watched from The Philosopher's Stone to Deathly Hallows Part 1 (My family has them all on DVD). I couldn't wait to know what happened in Deathly Hallows 2. I read The Deathly Hallows from where the part 1 left off and finished the rest of it it in a span of 6 hours. It was almost surreal. At the end I said to myself "Did all that just happen?"
I never really got into the books or the movies, but anything that irrationally pisses off Christians who are too easily offended by innocent things is okay in my book. And anything that gets kids passionate about reading is awesome in my book.
Saw it last night in 3D. We have a brand new world class IMAX theatre in Wichita and it freaking rocks!
Oh yeah, the movie was pretty good too! ;D
I read all the books and still very much enjoyed the movie! I thought they did such a great job on Snape's flashback scene. Tiny James potter was so cute!
I think my fav part though was when Voldermort hugged Draco so awkwardly. Everyone in the theater died laughing. XD
I quit watching after the second one and never finished reading the books, though my sister was nice enough to spoil the ending. I figure I will wait until the last one comes out on dvd and start watching them all then.

The movies are crappy compared to the books though. they leave out really, really important infotmation and even changed scenes entirely.

Movies have to though. You spend many hours reading a book but they have to get this all into only 2 hours in a movie.

I have noticed it is much better when they turn books into tv shows. Granted, I'm basing that purely on HBO's Game of Thornes, but that show stays pretty true to the book. The big difference being they can spend 10 hours covering one book, it makes it much more enjoyable.

I know, Stevil. It's the reason why I prefer books ocer movies, though it is fun sometimes when they do a really good job, like Lord of the rings.
@Think anarchy: Yes, that does seem better! Like what they did for "sword of truth" aka "Legend of the seeker." Too bad they cacelled it. I loved that show ;;
Though they do fuck things up in series as well, likr True blood. That show is aweful compared to the novels. If somrone dies in the novel, they shouldn't remain alive in the show. *roll eyes*
Meh, i'm a bookworm. Also, I have the habit, if I picture someone a certain way in a book, and they look totally different in the movies, it is annoying as fuck.
Perfect example, I don't know how the fuck in the movie "Interview with the vampire" they got Antonio bonderas to play Armand, when he's a 15 year old redheaded Russian boy. Good job guys x_X that was always the only thing that bothered me. Other than that, I actually liked the movie more than the book.
Just got back from the cinema and I liked the film, particularly the bit after the credits.
I loved all the films, they manage to transport you from a harsh hum drum world into a (no pun intencded) magical world full of wonder and adventure.
Although I have only one thing to say to all the brain dead Christians who have a hate fest on Harry Potter and that is CRUCIO !!
If only ! ;D
I didn't realise Harry Potter upset christians. Hmmm .... Can't be all bad .... Perhaps I will watch one after all. :D

I hate when they make me feel like an idiot. I pronounce odd names the first way I read them throughout the book. Then they turn it into a movie and I feel like a dumb ass for pronouncing Hermione incorrectly.

I do the same sort of thing, but I just assume they got it wrong :D
I loved everything about the last two movies, besides Dumbledore. The actor who plays him always makes Dumbledore seem so grumpy and mean, DUMBLEDORE WASN'T GRUMPY AND MEAN! Not in the books, anyway. Hrumpf.

Lol, it's ok ThinkAnarchy. I'm always pronouncing ACCIO incorrectly.
I wish they went more into Dumbledore's past in the movies. Especially with his wizard crush.
Still not sure whether its pronounced assy-o or atch-io

Well, they were known to sort of burn witches and redheads and those movies have both. 8)

I always thought it was more like ack-io. Like you're coughing up a hairball followed by -io.
Lol, we could get in this for a while, so I found this:

Apparently you CAN pronounce it two ways. :) I say A-See-oh
