in things not related to my attempts to meta Renesmee Cullen into a likeable/believable character (and yes, this involves mostly completely ignoring the imprinting thing, whee, let Jacob find his consolation elsewhere!), OMG HP6 OMG

OMFG

eeee!

When Harry touches that ring and then does that really creepy neck twist thingie from HP5? SO GOOD.

DRACO IS FLYYYY. DRACO WILL TAKE YOUR FACE OFF, YO.

Two things I wish were more clear: where was the transition between just hanging out and then DEFYING DEATH IN THE CAVE (which, okay, was pretty much EPICLY AWESOME). also, was Ginny still dating Dean when she kissed Harry? 'cuz, uh. confusing.

THINGS I LOVED TO PIECES.

Um, yeah, pretty much the whole movie. manipulative Harry omg! REPEATING RIDDLE'S CONVERSATION.

Ron saying Hermione's name! Hermione holding his hand and telling Harry to shut up!
Hermione getting in subtle jabs at Harry liking Ginny like, the whole movie. "Although I think Harry enjoyed desert" HAHA.

I have got to find out a way to see this in the movie theater. GOT TO.

sdflkjsfdkdfs I JUST SAW THAT TONIGHT AND AM FULL OF SQUEE TOO!! DRACOOOOOO IS SO G :DDD I have to confess that I thought it was the best ever on the train when Harry did not get away with his invisibility tricks! OUR HERO IS NOT INFALLIBLE, OKAY; OUR ANTAGONISTS ARE NOT DUMBASSES. oh so broody and conflicted and subtle, I LOVED DRACO.

The amount of hanging out that Harry does with Dumbledore is kind of weird. Yeah, it was really a strange jump. Harry repeating Riddle's conversation was !!!!!!!!OMG NO U DIDNT! And manipulative dumbledore and Harry totally getting on board with it! It was so weird, did you notice how he was acting like DRUNK when he took the Felix Felicis? chatty and fidgety and too loud and LOL THE SPIDER-PINCER GESTURES XDDD

Right when Harry arrived at the Burrow, I was all HECK YES THIS MOVIE IS SOOOO SHIPPY I LOVE IT. But DanRad was all stiff; his romance scenes are only romantic because of Ginny, otherwise it is just him standing stiff as a board while she ties his shoe or KISSES HIM AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KISS BACK SDLFKJDFSL.

I KNOW I KNOW heeee 'that's for my father' DRACOOOO your family always comes first, no matter what the price - I think he must have learned this from his mother, because I can't see Lucius Malfoy teaching Draco that

"I was reading in the library" *chills* but then again, he learned from the best, didn't he, DUMBLEDORE, who I am never actually forgiving

OMG THE SPIDER PINCER I had to pause the movie I was laughing so hard, that was A++++++ SO HILARIOUS HE WAS SO DRUNK/HIGH

I KNOW I KNOW I think I mostly put that down to him going 'YOU ARE STILL DATING MY ROOMMATE' because, well, her flirting with him while apparently still dating Dean (?????) confused me to no end.

BUT THAT MOVIE WAS SO AWESOME.

They are all about pureblood pride, so I imagine family is v. important to all of them all the time. But yeah you're right, his father probably would disapprove of the sentiment Draco has for him. That's got to be Narcissa.

It was actually just brilliant all the ways this movie drew parallels between Harry and Voldemort! that conversation (sure it was scripted but what he was doing, that was pretty sneaky and mean to Slughorn) and him being all torn about following Dumbledore's orders to make him drink the awful stuff, and his total lack of reasons to be suspicious of suddenly-sympathetic-character Draco, and SECTUMSEMPRA omfg. yeah. I <3 this movie.

Oooh yeah the Dean thing. That would put a damper on stuff. And they never resolved the Dean issue! :/ thanks, director.

it was like 'LOOK, THEY ARE VERY SIMILAR' and 'should i spell it out for you?'

it was sneaky and mean! poor Slughorn. SECTUMSEMPRAAAA he didn't stay around to see if he was okay! DRACO HAD STOPPED MAKING NOISE. man, they are in over their head, all of them.

That was one of my two (well, three) biggest problems with like... the whole movie. (my problems with my movie, let me... um... yeah, there's not much to show.)

For some reason it didn't strike me as particularly hammerhanded in their comparison. maybe because they did it more strongly in another movie? oh yeah, OotP with his snake vision trick etc. But that was more like, Oh Harry you worry too much, you are not actually Voldemort. And this one was like, Dude, Harry... you're kind of like Voldemort and you don't seem to realize it!

I stopped being critical of HP when I made sure not to read the books right before seeing the movies. That ensured my enjoyment greatly because I wasn't preoccupied with the differences. so, hee, yes, not much problem here!

Not necessarily hammer-handed, but it ... felt really obvious to me (then again, I look for these sorts of things in movies all the time, so).

I pretty much treat the movies as supplemental to the books. If you want to know what's going on in all the subplots and stuff, you read the books, but the movies are pretty darn awesome too. (It's why I find it just so weird when people are all 'I HATED THE MOVIE, IT WAS HORRIBLE, THEY CHANGED THE PLOT' and I'm going 'wow, that was AWESOME. Sure, they changed the plot, and they could have fixed a few things, but awesome.' It BOGGLES MY BRAIN.)
