Julie:
> The "It's over" line is not in the movie. From what I hear there were quite a few memorable lines inexplicably cut from the movie, including Harry and Dumbledore's mutual "I'm not worried, I'm with you" comments, several lines during Harry and Snape's confrontation at the end ("Fight back, you coward!" and "You have your mother's eyes."), and a brief conversation between Luna and Sanguini at Slughorn's party. I assume they will be on the DVD as deleted scenes (at least I hope so!).

Carol responds:
They had *Snape* saying "You have your mother's eyes"? that's Slughorn's line in the book. (Someone says it in almost every film and book, but never Snape.) but cutting "fight back, you coward!" after putting it in the previews is just pathetic! (I almost said "stupid," but I'm trying to be civil to absent opponents, especially since I haven't seen the film yet.) But, yes, thank goodness I'm forewarned. I can just imagine my reaction if I'd seen the film without reading the reviews and posts on this list first, I'd probably have demanded my money back.
Why, even if you're going to add superfluous scenes and make inexplicable changes, not retain memorable lines from the book that bookreaders will expect and look forward to? It makes no sense to film them and then cut them. I think they're trying to force us to pay for the extended-version DVDs.)
Carol, who *will* buy the DVD just to see the deleted scenes, all the while wishing she could turn the whole lot of them into frog spawn
