Agreed to a bit more drama at the end of the film e.g it would have been better with some of the order involved in the final battle scene as it is in the book , but I love harry Potter books but found the film a bit of a damp squid , it just never seemed to jel together , not enough action and too many lovey dovey scenes, in that I would point the finger at the director .Infelice wrote:Ive just seen it and overall I was very happy with it. Only one criticism for me.... there should have been a bit more drama surrounding the events near the end of the movie.

Harry gave the memory to Dumbledore, and listened to Slughorn explain it didn't he?Rigel wrote:Something else I just thought of:

With the cuts to exposition, Harry is in a much worse position at the end of Movie 6 than the end of Book 6. Basically, he still doesn't really know anything about the Horcruxes.
Though they DID hint at Harry himself being a Horcrux.

VERY little attention was given to the fact that Harry learned that really NASTY spell he used on Malphoy from the HBP book! I think the connection should have been made more strongly that the author of this book, although a genius, was twisted and dangerous. To a reader it is cool to see it there, but a non-reader it may slip by....!

It is in that names are spelled out... guys (if they are young enough, anyway) will use initials, "S + L TLG".

But, in that case, guys do it more permanently, like carved into a tree or in wet cement, or places where writing out the name is not really feasible anyway, right?

We try to keep such things secret... seems to make the feelings expressed by those initials more real if no one ever knows anything about them. Then, when we grow up and learn that men can't have feelings, such fleeting objects such as notebooks, binders, etc. are destroyed with the rest of our naive boyhood... except for the more permanent parts of the world that we have disfigured which we try to ignoreMenolly wrote:But, in that case, guys do it more permanently, like carved into a tree or in wet cement, or places where writing out the name is not really feasible anyway, right?
