Would eliminate what they consider an unnecessary character, I suppose. I don't have a huge issue with that.
Or maybe it's just that I don't care about the movies.

Griphook is definitely in the movie (I think)
Maybe that trailer and the crappy footage is misleading. It sure sounded like the Ollivander actor to me. Change for the sake of change.

You are right, but I wasn't thinking of it in the context of what was being explained in the trailer. I was thinking about just the scene at shell cottage. But Mr. Lovegood is cast as well. And they have already filmed the Lovegoods house scenes.

Well then I'd say it's pretty safe to assume that the voice is Mr. Lovegood's. There's no other reason to include the scene at the Lovegood's house. Not even they are that dumb...right?

You will enjoy it. It's pretty awesome, but very crowded. The forbidden journey ride is really two rides.... one being the line itself. Really cool.

Awesome trailer.... but I have a huge problem with the fight scene between Harry and Voldemort. What is up with that? Please be a dream sequence or something....

I will forgive their innumerable transgressions if they somehow make these last two movies awesome.
But....they won't.

Reading the page previous to this one completely sniffed out the mild optimism that viewing that trailer gave me.

trailer looks sweet. I hope the 2 parts are released somewhat close together.. I'd actually prefer them to release one big 3.5 hour movie. how sweet would that be

Looks very...epic. Epic is the word I want to use...more so than the others, and rightfully so.
And yeah, that last little bit, while it looks cool as hell, particularly if you pause it and note all the dead bodies lying everywhere....That's not quite right is it? I am beyond caring at this point. The only thing I care about now is if I will have to wait or go somewhere special to NOT watch it in 3d, which I have no intention of doing.

Watched it again...Warner Brothers is going to make an absolute effing fortune on these two movies. Pretty genius stroke by them
Who is the (I presume death eater?) guy on the train track?

I can't wait to see why they go to Gringotts.
(...to get the cup they didn't even mention once in the last movie.)

The guy in front of the train is the actor that plays Amycus Carrow.

So if everything you read on mugglenet these days is to be believed (they recently had a screening of a very rough cut of DH part 1) the split in the movies is actually going to occur after the snatchers, after malfoy manner, after Dobby's burial and after the deep conversations had by Harry with Olivander and Griphook, all the way to the taking of the Elder Wand by Voldermort on Hogwarts grounds.
Assuming half of that stuff is even included in the movie of course, which I'm sure it won't be.

So I was looking for tickets for showings on release date and found NOTHING in a 40 mile radius except for some podunk theater in Denton. Really? Is it just too early?

So... everyone looking forward to this train wreck?
Though from what I've read, the critics who have seen the movie are annoyed that it's so true to the book (and therefore quite a bit more drawn out than they think it should be), so that could please us quite a bit, actually.

DH Part 1 =
 Dear Warner Bros.... REALLY? It took how many tries? REALLY? I have some minor criticisms but they can wait. My list of major criticisms is el zilcho.

Wow. Followed the book pretty religiously... except for a few minor tweaks.
VERY WELL DONE. Emma Watson, marry me.

Trying to hold out until Part 2...then watch them both for the first time...I figure if I still have not seen Titanic or Avatar, I should be able to make it through the hype of seeing this one...at least until the next one comes out...
But thanks to Flaco and his round of applause, the expectation has been lifted. |

Yeah, not since Chamber of Secrets has a movie followed the book so closely. Except this time, they needed to, and had the time to do so, and it worked wonderfully. Excellent work, Harry Potter movie people.

I really enjoyed it. The first time that has happened since being talked into reading the books (right before OOTP was released). I did have some gripes.... like no Ariana, no seeing the magical sign at Harry's residence, not having Voldy fly to Bagshots and when HH escape he recounts in his thoughts the night he first attempted to end Harry's life, the polyjuice ending first for Harry was sooo stupid....
But I thought the movie as a whole was very entertaining... I thought Watson was/is the standout of the trio for sure, acting wise. Her changing her parents memories was the first time I've gotten chocked up at a HP movie. And her being tortured I bought into.... Emma 2 movies ago that scene would be cheesy. Although I do think it looked like Belatrix was biting her. I wonder what non-book readers thought about Harry saying help to a piece of mirror that they have no idea where it came from or who it was from and then magically Dobby appears. Poor, poor Dobby. If they don't show his gravestone in Part 2 proclaiming him a free elf I will be upset. And I loved how they ended Hedwig, protecting Harry... that was an awesome change/improvement. I can't wait to see it again.

I agree with most of that, u2. I saw it a second time already. I just think it's perfect, to be honest.
The Dumbledore backstory I could take or leave and that's hard to do in a movie...I do not begrudge them that at all. They could still conceivably bring that home with Aberforth in the next movie. The only gripes I have are: 1.) Harry's struggle: "Hallows vs. Horcruxes" but again, I understand what they had to do. 2.) The music. The score was disappointing. As far as Dobby's tomb stone... meh. They did him SUCH justice in the last 15 min of that movie that I can't possibly complain about it. It was just one of many things they did (like the mirror) that was flat out, unapologetic to the non-book reader. They were recklessly unapologetic to the non-book reader. (Especially with the scar/Voldemort scenes, which probably looked like nonsense to the uninformed.) Big thumbs up there. The animation with the tale of the three brothers was just outstanding. That was the best decision they ever made. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I can't believe, even two weeks later, how incredibly happy I still am with this interpretation. Finally. Also agree on Hedwig. I made the comment to my wife that it might have actually been better than the book.
