Ok, so I had butterflies in my stomach this whole week and was expecting a whole lot from the film and I wasn't really that disappointed. I went to the midnight show where I live so it was all the more exciting.
What I Loved:
1) Snape. Oh, boy... He has GOT to be one of my most favorite characters. Alan Rickman is an excellent, excellent actor. One of the chapters in the last book I loved most was "The Prince's Tale" and was looking forward to seeing how they depicted it. I loooved seeing the little Lily and Severus as friends and James and Sirius at their naughty best 😆 Also, what totally murdered me was the scene when Snape goes into the Potter house and cries his heart out hugging Lily's dead body 💔 Oh, God, why oh whyyy :'(
2) Protecting Hogwarts. Damn, those professors are goood ❤️ This was actually the scene that marked the beginning of my tears. Awww the professors put everything into protecting their home. I loved it when Professor McGonagall said "I've always wanted to use that spell!" after bringing the statues to life 😆
The students were no less. They were so pumped and just ready to fight; that was what I wanted to see :) And Neville haha he was all tough and what not when the death eaters were prevented from crossing the bridge into Hogwarts 😆 Aww I love Neville 😳 One of the scenes I was looking forward to most was him killing Nagini. Even though it didn't happen the way it did in the book, I was fine with the scene in the movie.
3) The scene with Fred's, Lupin's, and Tonks's bodies. I wanted to die right then and there *sobs* Those scenes were when I completely lost it and began to just bawl like a baby. It was so hard to control my sobs :/ The whole Weasley family gathered around Fred and Molly just crying into his chest were wonderfully acted out *claps* And, of course, Lupin's and Tonks's hands touching even after death was just 💔
4) The absolute final scene when they close in on Harry, Hermione, and Ron was beautiful. Their eyes and smiles said it all- hope, worry, relief, and happiness at seeing their kids at the same point in life they were at 26 years ago. I felt so overwhelmed with emotion. That was when it really sunk in that HP is finally over </3
5) The little bit of dueling between Harry and Voldemort was a nice change. It was nice to see Harry's dueling capabilities even though we all know he's a master at that 😊
6) Helena Bonham Carter as Hermione xD Hahaha that was so funny! She is an amazing actress :D
7) Adding in the "Not my daughter, you B*TCH!" scene 😆 That was a must!
8) The hug between Harry and Albus ❤️ Awww!
What I Didn't Like So Much:
1) What the hell was Ron wearing in the epilogue scene? -____- Slob: that's the word that entered my mind as soon I saw him. He looked so... unkempt :/ And there was something about Harry that was both OK and not right... idk what exactly.
2) The epic finale. It wasn't as... epic as I thought it would be. I loved how it was in the book: In the midst of the Great Hall and everyone in it, them circling each other, etc. Also, wasn't the Elder Wand supposed to float to Harry without the Killing Curse breaking? 😕 Like, didn't Harry's Expelliarmus AND Voldemort's Avada Kedavra both hit Voldie? Maybe I'm wrong...
3) The scene in the Lestrange's vault. I thought the objects in there were supposed to be flaming hot, but judging by the way no one was really screaming out of pain, it seemed as though they weren't burning anyone 😕
4) Harry's own wand... Where did it go? lol. I really wanted to see him repair his wand with the Elder Wand before destroying the latter...
LOL that was a lot. Sorry if it came out to be too long 😆 I just really needed to talk about it 😛
