I think it's going to be hard for the actors to transcend these roles. I'd love to see them do it though. Rupert Grint showed his range in this movie, and now we know he's capable of more.<br /><br />I feel that the later HP movies can stand on their own, outside of the series, as individual movies that someone could enjoy without seeing the earlier ones. This one, I'm not so sure that's the case, but I'm completely with you on how each movie has progressively gotten better and better and I'm fairly certain I'm going to be sitting in my chair in the theater after Pt. 2, processing it for a good ten minutes before I can leave, and it'll continue once I leave. I'm sad that something that became an amazing part of my life in high school is ending, but I also find it amazing that it's still going on when I'm 29. It's honestly not really ending. The movies will always be there, and future generations will carry on the experience of discovering the World of Harry Potter over and over again, as it's become required reading now in schools. My kids will know and love it, and I'm sure yours will too.<br /><br />In love and horcruxes,<br />Jess ArdisJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12515961445995783539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766010408959073176.post-15287416614780192902010-11-21T08:52:00.182-05:002010-11-21T08:52:00.182-05:00One big omission you didn't mention was the pa...One big omission you didn't mention was the payoff of Wormtail's life debt to Harry (from book 3) in Malfoy's basement. But I didn't really miss it.<br /><br />However, I thought the dance struck a weird note and went on too long.<br /><br />As a big fan of The Office I was sorry that once again Ralph Ineson has a non-speaking role. Maybe we will get a Carrow-Longbottom confrontation in the last movie.<br /><br />But I agree with you on everything else. And I think the last three movies should be taught as the examples of how to adapt long books into 2-hour movies.marknoreply@blogger.com
