omg I loved Harry and Cho smiling at each other at the end, it was so sweet :3 also I LOVED the shot right before that of Ginny just leaning on Mrs. Weasley looking completely drained, I think that's the most impressed I've ever been with Bonnie Wright and it was literally like two seconds. HER FACE WAS PERFECT, THOUGH.
I agree about the visual of the Gringotts goblins and I wish they'd shown more of that/given the movie a darker tone? Because that was the most afraid of Voldemort I've really ever felt in the movies (most of the time he just seems kind of ridic), it was so brutal and horrible. The battle scene didn't really hit me the way that scene did, to be honest none of the deaths at Hogwarts seemed really... real. I kind of teared up at Lupin and Tonks but that was it. I didn't really think they did a good job with the ~war~ feel except when the three of them were trying to make their way through the fighting, and at the beginning of it when McGonagall makes the soldiers move to protect the castle (I wish they had shown more of the cool charm things the professors did, like in the books with the crystal balls and how in the movie they showed Flitwick charming the vines/roots to trip up the giant? SO COOL).
the scene where Harry's going to the forest and he runs into Ron and Hermione, and Hermione is like "I'LL GO WITH YOU" and hugs him and Ron is just like .......standing there the whole time Ugh I hated that because on the one hand it was really emotionally affecting but on the other hand WHAT ABOUT RON, HE'S HARRY'S BEST FRIEND TOO, STOP DOING THIS OMG >:( also a) Ron magically knowing parseltongue: never not hilarious! and b) the way they did the kiss was kind of weird and awkward and not a good change from the book, I don't think.
