Tonks here:

Saw it Friday. It was good. Took a friend who knows the books but 
doesn't remember as well as I do. She said it was done for the fans 
because people who don't know the books well would be lost. 

I agree with her. There are places where nothing is explained it just 
jumps right into the scene with no setup. 

I hated DD. Someone has to talk to that man. He grabbed Harry at one 
point and shook him. The REAL DD would never have done that. That actor 
just doesn't have the love in him that is needed to play DD. There is 
no hope of WB changing him, I am sure. But maybe there is someway we 
can get to him and tell him politely what it that makes DD great. He is 
just not getting it!! And he hasn't changed his clothes in 2 years!! 
Apparently he only owns one robe.

But overall, I think it is the best one of the last 2. I still like the 
first one the best. My heartbeat Snape did not have much of a part, and 
that fool of a DD had a much bigger part than before. 

There is a very touching scene of Neville, and the death of Cedric is 
very well done, not a dry eye in the theater. They changed the end 
quite a bit, no hospital scene so that is why there is no hug. Closest 
thing to it is DD touching Harry's face. Sure nothing like the "HUG", 
not even close. Good special effects. And it was better than the 3rd 
movie.

Who is going again tomorrow. Want to get a better look at the costumes. 
I like to see the movies about 3 times. Will go again in a week or so.
