Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Spoilerific)

The book was pretty good up until the ending... everything felt really rushed, I dunno, it was pretty anticlimactic to be quite honest.

I usually have that lingering feeling after finishing a series know that's the end of it, but I didn't get it with this.

yeah squeek you're right

wasting time boring the audience and cutting time that could be used on interesting aspects is an excellent way of making a point

All I'm saying is that it was necessary in the book.

Which means it SHOULD be in the movie, if only for 2 minutes. What I'd do if I were the director:

1) Play a musical score over these scenes
2) Show them setting up the tents, fade into:
3) Them talking, arguing, etc. But the musical score overrides their dialogue, so you just see them saying stuff. Body language, if you will. Fade into:
4) Them sitting around doing nothing, fade into:
5) Disapparating to a new location.

That all would take thirty seconds. With variations on the scenes each time such as location of cameras within tents, actor emotions during discussion, etc., you could bend this out for a while and show it enough times to give the idea that they are stuck figuring out what to do until they catch a break.

I only found the last few chapters to be the most engaging.

I thought that The Battle of Hogwarts was very well done, actually. (I will never shake the image of McGonagall leading a pack of rampaging desks out of my head. I found that so very amusing.)

The part where Dumbledore explains Harry's first death (at the train station) didn't seem like a good enough explanation. It kind of bothered me.

Also, the epilogue was alright. It's nice to know what happens afterwards, even if it's totally incomplete.

Rowling had a webchat a short time afterward. It can be found here.

She says that Teddy is not a werewolf, but merely a Metamorphmagus like Tonks, if I remember correctly.

In book 7 they say that you can't transfigure anything into food, you can only make more of it once you have it.
but in previous books, Mcgonagal transfigures her desk into a pig
why couldn't hermoine just do that when theyre in the woods, then kill the pig

A little morbid for the trio, don't you think? This isn't Lord of the Flies.

Pigs aren't intelligent...

I mean, house elves might not be the smartest things ever, but would you ever consider cannibalizing a retarded person just because they're not that smart?
