I agree
but I was very upset that they showed (in the movie) that Snape was
really a good guy in the tower scene when he shushed harry
 so much of the
beginning/middle of the last book was the wonder and anger towards snape

Carol responds:

I was a mess for days after reading HBP, too, but my concern was for Snape,
and my only comfort was HPfGu, which convinced me that I wasn't delusional
in hoping that Snape was acting on DD's orders. I didn't cry at all in the
film, partly because it was so changed and curtailed and partly because I
knew that Snape wasn't a murderer. I've also become considerably less fond
of Dumbledore over the last two books, especially DH.

I do expect to cry in DH, though, especially the second half. DH (the book)
was an emotional roller coaster for me--joy, sorrow, laughter, anger (lots
of that). I didn't mind the endless camping trip as much as some people did,
but it won't make for a good film! I hope they retain *all* the Snape scenes
with as few changes as possible, painful though it was to read some of them.
(Well, they'll cut a lot of his memories, but they obviously can't cut them
all. And they can't get his age right in the scene where he talks to
Dumbledore on the hill, but they've never indicated that he's the same age
as James and Lily or that the Potters died at twenty-one, so I'll have to
accept their version, like it or not.)

Carol, hoping that Phineas Nigellus gets to play his part and hoping to find
him deliciously snide
