well firstly I have to say that the first time I saw it I was underwhelmed and the second time I saw it I was overwhelmed. it's strange because the first time I felt so frustrated with some of the choices (WHY DID VOLDEMORT AND HARRY JUMP OFF THAT BUILDING AND MERGE FACES/CLAW AT EACH OTHERS EYES?! god I was expecting that scene to be the worst from the trailer but I was not expecting anything that terrible, both times the audience in the theatre has burst out laughing). the ron/hermione trying to kill the snake was like a joke too, and I wanted so much more time on that scene after the initial battle to really realise that fred, tonks and lupin have died for this cause of harry's. but the second time, all those things were still there and still very strange choices but I was okay with them, it's like I made peace with it in the two days between and could appreciate the things I really did like. not feeling like I was about to vomit from the stress was helpful, too.

but yeah, I loved the callbacks/flashbacks in this movie so much. seamus can blow things up, ask him! and those pixie things in the room of requirement. I loved how snape's memory was compiled, I loved the resurrection stone scene so much, and I have never cried so hard at harry approaching voldemort in the forest. I love how danrad played that so much and his face when he closed his eyes ... idek, it just reminded me of why I love harry so much and everything I love about this series.

also you know my feelings on ron, I didn't think he was relegated to the background too much this movie but I hate the constant fear that he could do something out of character at any moment. and lol the slytherin scene was so awkward, I guess it's easier to just class them as "evil" for a movie audience but I think anyone who has read the books knows that it's more complex than that, even with JKR's characterisation.
