Too much snogging and not enough passion... They cut all of the heart out of this movie. After reading the comments here, I'm even MORE disappointed in this movie, because I had rushed through HBP in order to read Deathly Hallows back in 2007. The movie, on it's own, is very good. But huge important scenes from the book were left out (Voldemort back story too brief), completely stupid scenes put in (the Weasley's house) and the ending was bland and anticlimactic when it should have been deeply moving. Another reviewer commented on the lack of applause at the end, I noticed that too in my theater. The girl behind me who commented (frequently) "that didn't happen" was somewhat annoying, but totally right. UGH, I'm SO tired of movies that could have easily been PERFECT but aren't.
OK, ranting aside, Ron was wonderful during the Quidditch scenes and Harry was a total HOOT during the Felix Felicitas scenes. I will most likely see it again because my son wants to and I will find that the movie will grow on me like "Order of the Phoenix" did. But once again, I walk out of the first viewing sorely disappointed.
