Siriusly Snapey Susan:
I thought Ralph Fiennes was incredible. I was, personally, grateful
that the rebirthing wasn't drawn out at all. OTOH, this made
Wormtail end up looking more strong and stable than he was portrayed
in the book. He should've been writhing in agony, moaning and
screaming and begging and whimpering. Instead, he stood there like
his arm didn't even hurt and like he was totally "together." But
Fiennes as Voldemort was truly creepy, I thought.

Sabrina: 
I agree that Ralph Fiennes was fantastic as Voldy.  I'm glad that his 
rebirth was not drawn out as well.  I would have liked to see more of 
reaction from both Voldy and Harry, after their wands had connected, 
and see some shock on their faces as to what was happening. Also, 
when Harry saw his mom and dad come out of Voldy's wand.

Siriusly Snapey Susan:
There were two scenes with Dan, in particular, that I loved for how
they spoke to Harry's character. One, when he *thought* about going
on towards the cup (and admitted it) but changed his mind and went
back to help Cedric. I think that spoke to Harry's being, at heart,
Noble and True (capitalized on purpose). And I think when he
screwed up his face and stepped out from behind the gravestone,
facing Voldy and saying, "Have it your way, then," it spoke to
Harry's Bravery.

Sabrina:

I also cried in the scene when Harry returned with Cedric's body.  
Everyone was cheering, and there was festive music playing because 
everyone thought they made it back and Harry won.  Dan did a great 
job in that scene, crying over Cedric and not wanting to leave him.  
(He'll be an expert by the time Half-Blood Prince comes around and he 
has to cry over DD).  Once people realized what had happened and 
Cedric's dad started crying for his dead son, I lost it, and cried.
