Loved it. It was funny, it was a little scary, it was sad. And then it was those bits all over again. Lots of things were much better than I expected- more Snape time, thank goodness. They always rip him off. Much more Ginny, of course, and I do love her :-)
Lavender Brown, disgustingly great and Cormac McClaggen as well.
The best though was Jim Broadbent as Slughorn. Can't say enough good things about him. SO FUNNY! What a face :-)
The added scene was pretty good, although it does prove again that Harry is a bit of an idiot when it comes to making choices. It gives you a chance to Lupin and Tonks, and have yourself creeped out by Bellatrix. That woman is VILE and Helena Bonham Carter gets a chance to throw a regular Bellatrix fit that's pretty impressive.
Only two really big changes from the book. Both I can live with, but one did make me wonder how they'll handle it in 7. The other, was a bit disappointing, but the really important bits of it were kept in, so I guess I won't complain too much. Snape's best line of all times is left out though and Alan Rickman would have delivered it so brilliantly.
It was also really fun to go at midnight with all the crazy people in costumes and stuff. We made friends :-) JD was very funny, saying, "I"m so excited!" about every 10 minutes. He was dressed up as well. I just wore my "Some of my best friends are fictional," t-shirt. The whole crowd was giddy and happy. How can you not like that?
Anyway, this movie was certainly the most non-reader friendly. You can take that as a plus or minus! So, go, go see it; you'll enjoy it.
