MOVIE/SPOILERS and seventh book

[dumbledore11214]

So please note, this is not an analysis of the movie per se, but some comparisons between movie and canon in a sense.


OMG for the first time I felt that the movie did some things better than book. Of course what I liked the most was Snape's death, I mean the fact that they added ONE sentence made all the difference for me in a sense. I wish JKR added that sentence to show that Snape saw Lily in Harry as well. I mean ONE sentence? I did not need long scenes of reconciliation between them, or any reconciliation, but I DID need some sign that Snape before death showed some change in his attitude towards Harry.

Second, visuals are good to shove stuff in my face I realized again. I do not care for Snape, will never like or respect him, but I cannot do a happy dance because he died anymore, it was brutal.

So what I am trying to say that after this movie I am able to add to what I feel about Snape at least some pity.

Oh and his memories? I was able to separate boy Snape from the one who tormented Harry, and can pity him about his love for Lily. of course they did not show his worst moment, but them lying in the grass was visually very beatiful IMO.


I REALLY REALLY disliked that Dumbledore did not apologise to Harry AT FIRST that is, but then I thought that movie makers took maybe more honest approach for those who do not see Dumbledore in a good light. Rather than having him apologise for what I feel his secondary offense, movie makers probably decided not to give any half *ssed apology at all and let his actions speak for itself.


LOVED that Harry broke the wand without consulting Dumbledore's portrait, absolutely loved. For me it showed that movie Harry became his own man something that I sadly wanted to see in canon and had to add it in my mind.


HATED last duel when Harry comes back, to me it changed the theme of sacrifice to Harry's crazy dueling skills , and this theme to me was very important.

Thats it for now, I think, as I said, I wanted to do some canon comparisons first and foremost.
