[HPFGU-Movie] Re: My "disappointment" with the Movie Part 2

[Child of Midian]

I felt the books ending was weak, I really wanted to see Harry just fight
and hold his own against Voldy and JK never let him do that, the movie did.
I also felt that Neville's killing of the snake in the book would not work
visually, Voldy it would have seemed would have had him down long before he
touched the snake so the filmed worked better for me. I also liked that we
got to see what was happening in scenes other than where Harry is. I did
think editing it down to such a tight 2hrs was a bad idea, some scenes where
obviously spliced short and it seemed jerky at times.
 
Over-all I like the ending but wanted Voldy to turn back to Tom in death.

Larry,

I totally agree with all your points here. JK Rowling wove a better ending
to this story. Harry's speech to Tom Riddle was one of my favorite parts of
the book. I heard an interview with Director David Yates and they thought
that the conversation would not hold up on film, so they came up with their
own ending. Personally, I have seen plenty of films where speeches like that
work. I guess that is all a matter of opinion. It is all in how you shoot
it. Well, we got a good ending to the films. It just could have been so much
better if they stuck to Rowling's marvelous ending.
