June:
It certainly was a very good movie and I do agree that some of it
was actually better than the book. I too was pleased with Snape's
death scene (although I still didn't want him to die, lol). I loved
the part too where Neville was taunting the bad guys over the bridge
because they couldn't get through then they managed to get through.
That was a bit of comedy in a serious situation. The deaths didn't
seem to be thrown in your face as they were in the books and I didn't
cry too much (which is good, lol).

I can understand why an apology from Dumbledore could have been made
because although what happened wasn't Dumbledore's fault (and I will
continue to say that) Harry had been put in a horrible situation and
it was not his fault either. However did you see though what I meant
about the deathly hallows and how the three hallows in the ownership
of one person will make them masters of death? Dumbledore knew that
in my opinion and that is why he left what he had left to Harry, Ron
and Hermione. He also left the sword of Gryffindor (which really
wasn't necessary as it kept popping up when needed anyway, lol).

hates Dumbledore so much)
