Harry Potter - The Last One!

[fullygoldy]

Just got back from HP Pt 2.  Wow. There was some cool shit in there.  Also, I probably should have done a quick re-read before going to see it.  All through the movie, I was going, "wait, doesn't xyz happen?"  And then I'd think, uh no. That was in a fic.  Hmmm.  Must re-read that one...  It was a little distracting.

Also, the epilogue wasn't satisfying on the first read, and isn't really much better in the film version.  Plus, and this is what fanfic is for, right? There's a giant gaping hole between the last scene and the epilogue.  I had forgotten how much I like the HP fic when it's set after the war.

The women had some great moments too.  Really liked McGonagle's bits.  Luna was quietly perfect.  Mrs. Weasley rocked. 

Neville was totally believable in the Boromir role - never going to be king, but instrumental in getting Harry into his rightful position.

I was glad we didn't get a "previously on..." segment at the beginning, but OTOH, you really have to see part 1 first.

Definitely worth the big screen experience.  The effects just pop off the screen.  I wouldn't want to be introduced to the HP film series on the small screen.
