Moved to tears...

[Kimberly]

I just got back from seeing HBP and absolutely LOVED it!!  The only thing I would have liked differently was to have the funeral or more of the Fawkes scene at the end.  I also would have liked to have seen the "I am not worried, I am with you" exchange between Harry and Dumbledore.  

I cried from the beginning on the cave scene to the after part with the trio at the tower.  I admit I didn't just cry I sobbed.  Dumbledore isn't even one of my favorite characters but having been so invested in the series for so long must have taken a toll.  I was sad for Dumbledore, for Harry, but also for Draco....I was amazed at how much depth Tom Felton added just by his facial expression.   I was upset for how torn he was and the anguish he was going through.  I didn't get that so strongly in the books.  I was also sad for Snape, knowing now what his motives were and why he had to AK Dumbledore, I could see his personal struggle and it just moved me to tears.   

The romance aspect?   I didn't expect to see so much of the Cormac/Hermione/Ron stuff... I really enjoyed that as well as the whole Hermione/Ron/Lavender triangle.  When Hermione started crying at the Christmas party and the whole scene after that with the birds was wonderfully acted.  She has grown so much as an actress!   I thought all of the acting for the movie was brilliantly done.  (My least favorite was Slughorn...just not what I pictured although he was "okay".)
