I'...I agree with most of the things in the list. I'd tell you which ones I disagree with, but I've forgotten them because my short term memory is busy trying to remember all of the fucking songs you can play on the Ocarina in Zelda because apparently the game makers were like YEAH LET'S NOT MAKE THIS EASY TO ACCESS YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THEM ALL OR WASTE TIME GOING TO THE CONFUSING MENU<br />...anyway. <br />I was really upset with Ginny and Harry's chemistry. I feel like that was all Bonnie Wright, because Daniel and Emma had amazing chemistry so it isn't him.<br />I was also pissed off about Fred's death, and all of the deaths really, because they glossed over them so awfully. <br />I thought the first Dumbledore was better. <br />I hated how Voldemort died. He was DISARMED, that was the whole POINT: that Harry didn't kill him himself, that his Killing Curse rebounded. I guess they kind of did that with the 'curse going back into his wand' thing, but it was so stupid.<br />I also was surprised by how little everyone cared that Voldemort was dead. Some people glared at Harry. For causing their loved ones' death, presumably, but get a grip on yourself, bitches.<br /><br />Anyway, I'll stop rambling. Nice post.

As someone who has had a fictional crush on Sirius Black for the better part of my life, I found the inconsistencies in his appearance unacceptable and boycotted the rest of the movies. Not that they were any good anyways, at least from what I've gathered.chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333127349852310505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105521829731372740.post-32820347824887129712011-08-08T21:02:12.709-07:002011-08-08T21:02:12.709-07:00Once they cut out the Quidditch Cup from the fourt...Once they cut out the Quidditch Cup from the fourth movie, I decided that I was done with the HP movies...it's a decision that's served me fairly well, I think, throughout the years.Max Silverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780327947508044771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105521829731372740.post-10664257550718342792011-08-08T16:24:50.711-07:002011-08-08T16:24:50.711-07:00Katie: I don't really know exactly but Potterm...Katie: I don't really know exactly but Pottermore is, but it sounds so sure thing! Thanks!<br /><br />Maryam A: Ain't dat right.<br /><br />Cat: I actually didn't know that. But I can't actually legally admit that to you, so I'm afraid I'm going to have to kill you now.<br /><br />Anna: This is great to hear. I forgot to add the bit about Percy, although I did notice that. I also felt extremely betrayed when JK Rowling said she loved it. Although she might have hated it, but she couldn't possibly have admitted that or else the movie would have flipped. So I find comfort in that.<br /><br />Magixx: Biotch!<br /><br />-E-: Wtf?<br /><br />Bookish.Spazz: Yeah guess what I already do know that! Cat just told me like fifteen seconds ago. Pay attention, please. Get your head in the game.<br /><br />I also agree with majority of what you had to say, except for ALL OF IT. I do think that they could have made it better.<br /><br />Not only does it make me angry when people hate the movie without reading the books, but it even annoys me when they watch the movies without having read the books and claim that they're huge fans.<br /><br />NO I DID NOT GET MY FEELINGS HURT. Well actually. Maybe a little.<br /><br />dirtycowgirl: I agree. Just because they have to take a load of stuff out doesn't mean they have an excuse to make it a shitty film. And in the case of Harry Potter, I don't think they have any reason to not make that a fantastic movie.<br /><br />And good for you! Now you can sleep soundly at night.<br /><br />Eeshie: Please see above comment in which I crown you as the Meanest Commenter of the Year.<br /><br />Also, I'm never talking to you again. You hurt my feelings.<br /><br />rose: I TOTALLY AGREE. I actually didn't stand up and scream at the movie screen, but I was pretty irate.<br /><br />Your comment made me laugh like this: HA HA HA HA HA. Exactly like that.<br /><br />Comment deleted: Why are you even wasting my time by posting comments and then deleting them? You have no life. Go fuck a zebra!<br /><br />Ash: I actually thought the first half was half-decent. You're not missing anything with the second half though. Also, the second half of your comment reminds me of The Number 23. Which I actually haven't seen yet. But yeah.<br /><br />DB: I agree 125%.

Other movie goers were not impressed by my outburst, but what wand was he PLANNING on using? If he wan't going to repair his, and he's not going to use the elder wand, is he just going to keep using the shitty one he stole from Draco Malfoy? Does he even have a plan? Has he given up on magic altogether? Is he mentally unstable due to the horror he's experienced over the last year? Is he suffering from post traumatic stress? Is this why he chucked it off a bridge? <br /><br />Also, Crabbe used to be white. It's not just that he's black, but it's that he suddenly changed. That's the most bizzare and magical thing about Hogwarts. The students there change race at will. Most kids sit around watching Harry Potter, going "What house would I be in? I bet I'd be in Ravenclaw!" but clearly they're forgetting to ask themselves the most important question- what race would they be? Seeing as it's optional. I think I'd be Filipino. If I had the choice.Isobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323104942497435587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3105521829731372740.post-73151354731056994642011-08-07T18:47:25.530-07:002011-08-07T18:47:25.530-07:00I would love to respond to all of your comments ri...I would love to respond to all of your comments right now, but I actually have a very badly beaten prostitute lying in my bedroom who clearly needs medical attention.

IT ONLY WOULD HAVE TAKEN LIKE, 2 SECONDS TO FIX HIS WAND.<br /><br />The film really made me sad. I was misty throughout the entire thing, and overall I have to admit that while it was TOO short, if they had handled it any differently it would have been odd.<br /><br />We as fans should know by now the the film industry is nothing but a dressed up whore out to make some money.<br /><br />Also, you're right. They assumed that everyone knew how it was going to end and took advantage of the fact.<br /><br />For me, the movies had always been a companion to the books. I never expected the movies to be a direct parallel to the series because then I would be setting myself up for some HUGE disappointment.<br /><br />Overall I agreed with the majority of what you had to say.<br /><br />ANYWAYS, on a separate tangent, for the people who haven't read the books and hated the last movies, that's their fault. My friend Taylor was mad at HP7 part 1 because "it was fucking camping for over an hour" to which I responded: "It was fucking camping for many chapters in the book."<br /><br />So yeah. I take solace in the books, and the films are just there to refresh my imagination on what the characters look and sound like.<br /><br />I <3 Matthew Lewis.

I'm a huge fan (obviously not as much as you) and it made me so angry to see that they cut out some of my favorite parts, including the fact that PERCY CAME BACK (and the wonderful comic relief of that moment). You just randomly see him at the end.<br />The movie really was just awful. They spent too much time on unimportant things. I have no idea why people are saying it's the best movie of all. IT'S NOT. Even JK Rowling said it's the best. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU.<br /><br />Oh God, this turned out so long. It was probably one of my least favorite films, though I loved the Pensieve part.
