Deathly Hallows

So I'm a pretty huge Harry Potter fan. My third grade teacher read us Sorcerer's Stone and I loved it but I really got into the series in 5th grade. Harry Potter has affected me in a way that I can't really articulate and a lot of people don't understand. Yeah, but I obviously went to the midnight showing of Deathly Hallows last week and I want to talk about what I liked and didn't like (there wasn't a lot I didn't like). I'm just gonna do this in list form cause it'll be easier. *There will be book and movie spoilers in the post*

Likes:
1) The Obliviate Scene - I really liked this scene because it gave something to Hermione that really hasn't been in the films
2) Bill Weasley - I thought he just seemed like a cool guy. I wanted to be friends with him and I think that's what Jo wanted when she wrote him
3) Mundungus Fletcher - He was so skeevy. Not at all how I pictured him but I really liked Dung
4) Hedwig's death - I hated how she just died in the book. I didn't feel like there was a lot of closure in that scene so I enjoyed how she got her last moment
5) Fred and George scene - I love love that they kept the "holey" line it was delivered very well and the twins really never get meaty parts so I liked the bit of emotion that got during the scene
6) A strong picture in my head from DH was in Grimmauld Place when Harry wakes up and sees Ron and Hermione's hands near each other like the fell asleep holding heads. I really loved that scene and I was excited that they kept that in
7) Ron's leaving scene - Rupert did an amazing job with this part. I thought it was nicely done and very emotional
8) I really liked the Harry/Hermione dance scene. A lot of people didn't like it but I think it showed a part of the strong friendship they have that is rarely seen in the movies because a lot of their relationship is in Harry's head so it was hard to but into film
9) While reading the book I never could picture Nagini coming out of Bathilda Bagshot so that I thought was really weird but defiantly well done
10) I loved the lack of music in this film. I noticed more often when there was no music which I thought was more powerful than a huge blasting song. So props to Alexandre Desplat although I do miss John Williams.
11) Dobby! I love Dobby and I thought his death was beautifully done. I was afraid it was going to be forced and cheesy (i.e the lovely crying scene in PoA) but I loved it.
12) The split is brilliant. It leaves me wanting more which is good for non book readers because they'll come see the next part
13) I liked the Ministry scene also it was well done

Now for the dislikes...this will be considerably shorter

1) I wish they would have added the Harry/Dudley scene because after everything they needed their amens
2) The Remus/Harry scene - I guess it wasn't all that necessary to the plot but I think since Lupin is the last father figure (besides Arthur) that Harry has there should have been more of him. I really love Lupin so maybe that why I wanted this scene so much
3) I was expecting more Malfoy Manor but I wasn't totally upset with what was in the film

Sorry, I think this is obnoxiously long...but I really love Harry Potter. I'm a huge nerd :) I want to see the film again so I can digest the awesome but I'm really happy about how it turned out. Ok nerd rant over.
