[HPFGU-Movie] Finally saw it (no spoilers)

I'm very sorry about the Safeway shootings in your area Carol.  I hope you and your family are alright.  I'll pray for you and your family, and keep the people of  Tucson in my heart.  Glad you saw DH and liked it.  Entertainment is good, so enjoy it when it comes, and live life to the fullest, because all life is precious.

I finally saw DH on Saturday. I couldn't find anyone to go with me, so I went alone before the showings ended. Unfortunately, I came home to find that real tragedy had struck half a mile from my home: the Safeway shootings in Tucson.

I'm still in shock and praying for Gabrielle Giffords and the others, so I'll keep my comments on the film short. I enjoyed it and thought that the actors, director, screenwriter, etc. did a good job of keeping the film understandable for those who hadn't read the books (with a few exceptions that I'll discuss later) and paving the way for DH2. They did move some scenes out of sequence but no harm done there. Yes, I noticed omissions and alterations, but I understand why most of them were made, especially simplifications like those made in the Godric's Hollow scene, which probably benefited the viewers who hadn't seen the film and certainly tightened the plot.

Carol, who will post again later when it feels more appropriate to talk about HP
