Wow. I hope Radcliffe fired his stylist after that photo. He looks ridiculous.

Poof, just eight movies later and Radcliffe is an emo vampire.

Someone could at least have combed his chest hair so it didn't give one the distinct impression of cleavage...

I loved the last movie :) I didn't understand a lot of what was going on since I've read the books a mere once, but it was a fun movie.

Here's a REALLY hilarious article on Slate about the last Harry Potter movie, written by two people who have never seen a Harry Potter movie nor read the books:

(Generally, they liked it, without understanding much, but the article is super funny, especially to Potterites)

I enjoyed it, but either the second movie should have been longer or Book 7 should have been one long movie. I agree that much did feel perfunctory. Can't believe they didn't show Fred getting killed. Ending was a big improvement on the "do you feel lucky punk" dialogue prior to the final duel. Film also did a good job of showing that Voldemort got a thorough ass kicking.

Prediction: Alan Rickman gets best supporting actor Oscar to honor him and all the fun performances throughout the series.

Hopefull, I'll be seeing it today!

:snap:

That was great!

Someone should have told him he was purchasing a woman's shirt.....

I saw the movie, and thought it was great! I did wince a little when Dan took of his shirt.....

After seven movies, none of which I particularly cared about it will come as quite the shock that I didn't particularly care for this one. But at least it is over, I have enough of the cultural literacy of Harry Potter to fake things if necessary, and I know personally it wasn't that good instead of just speculating.

What was interesting to me as the camera wasted precious hours lingering in the last 15 minutes on every big and major character still alive just how little of the specifics of what transpired in the previous movies actually stuck with me. I generally have a very good memory of such things. But suddenly before me on screen was Jim Broadbent and I realized that I had no actual memory of him having been in any of the previous movies (Lani assures me that he was significant). I had no idea who the woman who says "not my daughter, bitch" was until she said that (then I guessed).

I also don't get the talk of Rickman and Oscar. I like Rickman but for the last decade this role has required nothing more than making faces like someone was kicking the stick that had been shoved up his ass.

To those for whom this was a great series I'm glad you liked it. But I'm just glad that it actually did finally all end.

...and I drooled a little when Rupert took off his ! :evil:
