Part Two = !!!!

So I've just spent nearly six hours at the local movie theater. I was dressed in a green striped cloak, round glasses, lightning bolt scar, star spangled leggings, Gryffindor shirt, time turner. In short, I was obviously a Pottermanic. But oh heavens, it was incredible. The pyrotechnics, effects, the humor and darkness. I heard they actually blew up parts of the sets and props to make it look even better. It was interesting, how despite being very dark, there was a lot of humor and comic relief. For example, McGonagall (I love her!) tells Seamus Finningan to blow up part of castle with his fireworks. He says "Blow it up, like 'boom?'" McGonagall says "Yes Finnigan, boom!" Oh it was great! At during the fight, the Malfoys just leave, Narcissa and Draco hand in hand. The odd thing was that aside from Harry, the size of the parts were nearly equal for most people. Luna was probably in there about as much as Ron or Hermione. She probably said more than Ron. There were a lot of characters who were there just to show that they were still alive, ie: no speaking, on screen for a moment. Trelawney, Aberforth, Greyback, Lupin, Tonks, Crabbe, Goyle, Malfoy, Fleur, Bill, Hagrid. Lily actually had a pretty decent part. You get to see what happens in the Potter house after Voldemort attacks. Snape is the first one there, and he's just sitting and cradling Lily. Snape, well Alan Rickman really, did a great job with the acting. He was amazing. The King's Cross scene was great, I thought. Several people said it was too bright, but I thought it was perfect. The movie was quite canon too, very few disrepencies. At one point Luna expresses that she likes Neville, and it's implied that she wants to tell him she loves him, but she never does, and later she and Neville sit together after the fight. However, nothing ever comes of it, as neither oneis in the epilouge. I loved it though. As for the post-potter kids, it showed Rose, Lily, Albus Severus, and you see James for a brief moment. Hugo is seen but unnamed. Victoire and Teddy aren't shown. One of the thigs I loved most was how they ended the movie and rolled the credits with "Leaving Hogwarts" and what I think was "Hedwig's Theme." Go see it. Go love it. It's now 3:16 and I need to be up and functioning in a few hours so.... have fun and don't get too carried away with "boom"-ing stuff.
