Her and Alan Rickman are the only actors in the whole franchise that have completley got the character from the book bang on imo. Helena was INSPIRED casting, and plays an incredible Bella.

Just imagine what would've happened if Helen McCrory actually played her, like she was supposed to. :kink:

Character ranks;

 

1.) Severus Snape

2.) Bellatrix Lestrange

3.) Luna Lovegood

4.) Dobby

5.) Hermione Granger

6.) Minerva McGonagall

7.) Narcissa Malfoy

8.) Molly Weasley

I know, I PITY THE THOUGHT, given her poor poor Cissy.

THAT WAS SOOO GOOD! LOVED IT!!! TOO HYPED TO WRITE PROPER REVIEW ATM

IT WAS AMAZING! I have never read the books so I was Gobsmaked how good it was. Brilliant ending to the series.

 

That scene - inc the bit prior where Snape addressed the school - was absolutely fantastic!

Removed? You got to be kidding me :(

Can't really be bothered to do a proper review yet, but:

 

Rickman and Maggie where INCREDIBLE. I always struggled to picture an emotional/weeping Snape when reading the last book, but Rickman portrayed it brilliantly. Maggie Smith is my new "Gilf"-crush.

 

 

SO so so pissed at the way the Bellatrix & Mollie W. fight scene was handled. It was so poor. And I was hoping for once that Tonks would FINALLY get some screen time, she's one of my favourite characters in the books. Sadly, it wasn't going to happen. -_-

Harry and Ron were never ALL THAT. Oh and Helen McCrory is brilliant as Narcissa. Probably wouldn't have made such a great Bellatrix though so her unavailability earlier on in the franchise was a bit of a happy accident.

 

I love how its was 19 years later and they all looked the same :lol:

Just watched it again in 3D. :lol:

 

I don't think that the 3D effects actually contributed much towards the film itself, I preferred it more in 2D if anything.

I think as a whole, the Malfoy family are BRILLIANT in this.

 

Jason Isaacs put on a very good performance, you could just hear it in his voice and see in his facial expressions of how brilliantly he managed to portray Lucius' struggles throughout both parts of the Deathly Hallows. Same as Helen McCrory, she put on an excellent performance as well (and for once, I wasn't actually cringing at Tom Felton's awful 'acting', he's greatly improved). The clip of the

Malfoy family "running away"

was worked into the film well I thought.

What's with the lack of love for Dolores Umbridge?! :angry:

Imelda's BRILLIANT as her, and I love the dichotomy between fluffy kittens and chintz and Muggle-hatred, authoritarianism and the Cruciatus curse, but she isn't QUITE top ten material.

She definitely is! :o She plays her exactly like how I imagined her to be in the books.

I love how Harry is in like no-one's faves list :lol: He is the main focus and all but Daniel is a shit actor. It's not just that either because I dislike him in the books too, I kind of wish it was all Neville instead, seeing as he has a similair story in his early years, bar the prophecy and being brought up by horrible Muggles. He's far more likable than Harry ever was as well. Hermione is just amazing, end of :wub:

We all know there's only ONE PROPHECY™ fiercely limp-wristed Neville's a part of!

What's with the lack of love for Dolores Umbridge?! :angry:

"The gently smiling Dolores Umbridge, with her girlish voice, toadlike face, and clutching, stubby fingers, is the greatest make-believe villain to come along since Hannibal Lecter." - Stephen King

 

Maybe that quote will please you :D

 

She's just such a deliciously evil character in the books, that I absolutely love to hate, and Imelda plays her wonderfully, even if I imagine her to be a little more twisted.

 

 

If Harry was a horcrux then how come it wasn't destroyed when the Basilisk bit him in the Chamber of Secrets?

 

OMG. Childhood ruined.
