Soooo, I saw it. I have to admit, after what I had heard, I wasn't too thrilled when I stepped into the dark room. But well, I guess I'm a HP nerd who wanted to see it anyway
So there.

Low expectations.
Good surprise.

It was in my opinion a fair adaptation. Of course, part of me screamed at some... details that were tweaked, some paths that didn't really follow the book storyline, or some characters that behave a bit strangely. But it's an adaptation, right? So why do we care? If I want the book story I'll read the book...

Why I liked it:
- Snape was as good as ever.
- Hermione was cuter than the previous movie, just as every movie (yes, in The Sorcerer's Stone she was better than in The Locked Broom Closet )
- Beautiful landscapes as always.
- Classes! They ARE in a school! Incredible! Oh, and even classes that are not their year! That hasn't happened since movie #1!
- Birds around Hermione. Loved that part in the book, it was pretty nice in the movie.
- Luna.
- Bellatrix. She left me unimpressed in the previous movie, but she was better actually.
- Quidditch!
- Rupert's love expression is priceless!

Why I didn't like it:
- 45 seconds of Tonks? Are you kidding me?
- Once again, Ron is demoted from the heart of the group to the stomach of the group.
- As always, Daniel Radcliffe proves to have the acting skills of a broomstick. EXCEPT when he acts like a moron under the influence of Felix Felicis. I grinned all the way.
- Narcissa. Seriously, what the lol? She's supposed to be a beautiful, pale, blonde woman. She lacks the beautiful and half of the blonde part.
- No "DON'T CALL ME COWARD!"? awww Plus, "I'm the HBP. kthxbai." And that's all? noooo!
- No funeral? lolwhut?


About other details... Where was Slughorn's big moustache? Where is his advanced baldness and his big belly? I don't want a new Fudge-looking guy!
The battle in Hogwarts? none
I don't remember Neville to have Potions in the book.
Cho was in the movie? Where? in the crowd at the end? she was credited anyway.
Did the ghoul in the Weasley's attic burn? And speaking of the Weasleys, I was unconvinced by the twins this time. I tried, but no.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some...



SO... It was a nice way to spend 2h40. I was pretty sure I'd be disappointed, I'm glad I wasn't.
