Where to begin! When it comes to writing, I rarely ever have a lack for words, but this movie left me breathless. I think I cried through about 75% of it, despite knowing all that was supposed to happen, and I ended up with an aching headache from it. It was captured so beautifully though. The poor boy sitting next to me in the theater looked over at me as I sobbed during Snape's memory, the Resurrection Stone scene, the hospital scene (and the preceding scenes with George asking Fred is he was alright, and Tonk's and Lupin reaching for one another's hands. It was a devastating blow to me. I was also surprised by how much Lavender Brown's death disturbed me), the meeting with Dumbledore at "King's Cross', and the Ron and Hermione kiss. There was a wonderful balance of humor and wit added to the darkness that The Battle of Hogwarts and the rest of the movie brings. Though inaccuracies between the book (my preference) and the movie remain, I believe this is my favorite of all of the Harry Potter movies. Everything was so perfect, I definitely believe that it qualifies for more than one Oscar- the soundtrack music was one of the best I've ever heard, in addition to the movie's brilliance.

My only two major complaints have to do with straying from the plot of the book, because they meant a lot to me while reading. The first is Fred's death scene, which I found to be absolutely horrific, being a twin myself. I was upset that they did not mention that he died with the ghost of his last laugh on his lips, which I found beautiful, considering his cheery disposition. The only other part that I had a major complaint against was Voldemort's death- Harry never asked him to try to feel remorse. Otherwise, the movie was amazing, and I plan on revisiting it soon. I am so sad to see the series ended now, but I know that the characters will always remain in my heart. Hermione, who remains one of my character heroes, will always be one who I strive to become, and I applaud and thank J.K. Rowling, my literary idol immensely for the joy she has brought to my life through her broad imagination. <3
