the world isn't divided into good people and Death Eaters

I think I need to see the movie a second time before I can really organize my thoughts beyond Oooh, pretty!, but off the top of my head? I'd give it a thumbs-up. I liked it better than GoF, in fact.


- TWINS FTW

- there was SO MUCH Snarry potential there, I can't even begin to explain it

- lame ending (pretty much par for the course in the HP movies)

- Sirius was AK'd, WTF? (maybe I'm confused; I thought AK killed instantaneously, but Sirius sorta hung there like he was dying slowly - was that to imply that he was already dead but still falling through the veil?)

- Bellatrix = crazy awesome

- I heart Luna/Evanna. and Tonks, whose hair puts me in mind of ariadne1

- Imelda Staunton and Brendan Gleeson are marvels of casting

- the mewing kittens-on-plates totally freaked me out

- pimped out Voldemort on Platform 9 3/4 is the bomb

- Sirius is so gaygayGAY, and he was totally crossing the paternal line in his scenes with Harry

- did he call Harry James in the Ministry fight? (which, way cool for him and Harry to be fighting side by side)

- apparation effects? nifty.

- MrIris is now a Tonks/Harry shipper, and I wish that Harry/Luna was canon, but we both enjoyed the bits of Ginny that appeared in every Harry/Cho scene

- the kiss in front of Cedric's pic? all sorts of wrong and still funny

- mixed feelings about Cho as betrayer, even if it was Veritaserum-induced

- MrIris asked if Neville was getting some Patil twin action on the side, which made me sputter sangria down my shirt

- liked the dark dreariness at Grimmauld Place

- sorta missed CAPSLOCK!Harry, who was just emo at some points

- unimpressed by the way the beginning played out, the bit at Privet Drive; does the abbreviation mean that "Remember my last" is not very important?

- oh, Jason Isaacs, I shall dream of you with your Paris Hilton wig and your pimp cane and black suit and your really nifty magical Death Eater mask

I need to see it again - we were in the 4th row, way too close to catch everyting, but...

- I can totally see Harry/Luna as canon; I like her way better than Ginny, particularly in this movie.
- Jason Isaacs is yum!
- the twins rocked in this movie - and they were particularly good-looking, IMO
- Kingsley should have had more lines - I really liked his voice.
- Sirius is definitely gay and crossing way too many lines with Harry. Yes, he did call him James.
- Neville/Patil twins? Hmmm... not sure about that one. I kind of see Neville as asexual...

In all, really enjoyed it, prolly my favourite HP movie so far!

Yeah, of all of them, I really liked OotP best. Except the ending. Not impressed with that. I wanted the tantrum, the explanation, the big speech. And I wanted to see the Harry/Draco confrontation.

Oh, twins. They (and Snape) were this book's heroes, and we just don't get to see that. But yeah, hot. Except I like their hair better when it's longer.

The Neville/Patils thing was totally MrIris's gig. Not my deal at all. Neville is supposed to take Ginny off Harry's hands, so he can be with Snape Fredngeorge Luna.
