windemereNo real spoilers here, unless by some act of God you have not read the books.
Can I just say, Emma Watson, that you may have become my favourite actress of all time. You are amazing and brilliant and you are so much better than book Hermione. Thank gods for little girls everywhere. If they grow up to be like you, this world might actually be saved.
I can only imagine how confusing certain aspects of this movie must be to people who didn't read Books 6 & 7. Because there were quite a few jumps that had me going 'wait, what? oh, right, way to skip the backstory!' On the upshot, this means that all my favourite bits are BACK IN! I am going to spend most of Part The Second bawling, I know this. Because OMG, Bill and Fleur are so cute and Tonks and Remus and George, oh George, and Ginny was only in this movie for like five seconds, but the girl is going to destroy me in the next one.
I have this insane and impossible wish that I could read Book 7 for the first time right now. I really wish I didn't know what was going to happen. This one ended pretty much where I thought it would end, and it made sense too, even if non book people were probably sitting in the theatre going 'wait a minute...' And it was a good go at the boring part of Book 7, the Hermione, Harry and Ron walking part. Similar in many ways to the Sam, Frodo, Gollum walking part. This one had a bit more adventure and twists in it then Two Towers (thankfully) but in the end it is still a lot of apparating from one place to another and almost getting caught. All the battle stuff happens in the next one (I hope). Still, they kept it all in this one, even knowing it was going to drag in places and be a lot of moments of Harry or Ron or Hermione just sitting there staring off across beautiful Scottish landscapes.
All in all, pretty good for a Part I.
