Yes, I also enjoyed many, many things about this movie, in  fact it 
is absolutely my favorite one now, BUT I completely agree with  you.

I am not even sure I need the introduction of the Order, I am sure  
there is a way to introduce in OOP, but  the lighthearted good bye  
after heartrenchinh scene of bringing Cedric back seemed wierd to  me.

I would have loved to see something else acknowledging that  
everything is changes, not just Hermione saying it in vacuum,  IMO.

Yes, I did not "feel" the ending at  all.


I read a post somewhere (or a review?  I can't remember) that  said the film 
ended with an unsettled, open-ended feeling, and that's true --  and very, 
very creepy.  And that kind of ending suits the truly creepy  feeling evoked when 
Harry tells Hermione a very simple and heartfelt "Yes" when  she says 
"Everything's going to change now, isn't it?"  His eyes said it  all, despite the 
slight, comforting big-brother-ish smile on his face.  His  eyes were haunted, 
dead, pain-filled, seeing things other people haven't and  shouldn't have to 
see.  It was a wonderfully done bit.  And then they  tried to get back to 
normality, which is how people really act during trying  times.  At funerals, people 
laugh despite their grief as they share stories  about the deceased or catch 
up on news with people they haven't seen since the  last funeral.  It seems 
disrespectful, but in all reality, it's life  "moving on" because in the face of 
tragedy, the survivors must find a way to  move on or collapse in despair, 
y'know?  Been there, done that, and I think  it was a truly brilliant way to end 
it.  

I did miss the cute little thing I saw Mike Newell showing the kids for  the 
very end of that scene, which was cut out for some reason -- Hermione took  
each boy's hand as they stood by that wall watching the other schools  leave.  I 
think that could have been a very sweet scene, but for whatever  reason, it 
was cut out.  Oh well.
