I got a bit confused for a bit with Snape, I thought it was leading the whole story into a traditional Darth Vader moment. Oh and yeah that Ginny girl looked a spit for Harry Potters mum. Beautiful girl that for a redhead

You should check out Emma Stone then
Just saw it and I have to say that I am thoroughly disappointed. I genuinely do not understand the superfluous critical acclaim. I mean 97% critical approval on Rottentomatoes? I found the storyline to be extremely lacking and some of the action sequences extremely comical. Especially the scene with Harry jumping down with Voldemort had me in stitches because it seemed like a scene from a B movie. However, I think my dissapointment stems from the high praise because I walked into Part I without much expectation and came out enjoying it. Overall, it is a distinctly average movie that was a shadow of what its predecessor was - a well told, entertaining film.

Only reason I watched Easy A haha
Because he was meant to die. The stone was one of the deathly hallows which supposedly make you a master of death (which i'm assuming means immortal) but he didn't have use for it because he needed to die in order to destroy the part of voldemorts soul which was attached to him.
The stone doesnt make you immortal. It allows you to resurrect the dead. However theyre not really resurrected. The stone takes you into, sort of another plane of existence where spirits walk the earth. You cant touch these spirits but you can communicate with them. Thats my understanding of the stone based of part1 and part2.
The stone like someone else already mentioned is to resurrect the dead, but not literally and it is also not a weapon in the literal sense. A lot of people who did not read the book and not know the story line got confused about the Harry dying and the Kings Cross scene with Dumbledore.
It is pretty simple really. When Harry's mom died protecting him and when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, his curse rebounded and a part of Voldemort's soul got attached to Harry. Voldemort had created a 'horcrux' without even knowing he did. So technically he had eight hourcruxes including himself.
So when he killed Harry or at least when he thought he did, he actually destroyed his own horcrux by mistake. That is why Voldemort also went to ground and lay in shock and the death eaters wanted to help him up. It was the same feeling he felt when he knew his other horcruxes were being destroyed one after the other - weak and nervous.

She's coming to Oxford next year!
Yeah but only for one year. Then she wants to do her senior year here back in the United States at Brown University.

Really? Emma Stone? Emma freaking Stone?

American, and Amazing.
She is American but I don't think she is amazing. Is this one of those sarcastic things that is hard to detect over the internet things?
Emma stone is
Granted she doesnt look that special in pictures, in movies, she just something else. She made superbad watch-able for instance.

I agree she was good in Zombieland. But I have not been a fan of her other movies.
Just got back from seeing this. Loved it! Professor McGonagall and Neville tearing shit up was more entertaining than I would have imagined and the wole memory sequence with Snape was just fantastic. It was emotional...
I have heard a few complaints about the end being anticlimactic and I can see where there coming from but it still felt fitting to me. Harry and Voldy jumping off the thing was stupid but that's pretty much the only thing I didn't like.

I thought when the knights were released to protect the grounds, they were going to cause some major damage. The Snape dying scene was pretty emotional. I was pretty shocked the effect his words had on me when I watched it. His last words were, "You have your mother's eyes". You just never expected him to say something like that in an affectionate way.
In exactly one week of release, the movie has earned $678,817,069 worldwide. That is truly remarkable. With the weekend coming up, I think it will touch the $750m mark. I really hope it can touch the Billion dollar mark.
Emma Stone is my second favourite Emma. Sensational.
Saw this last night finally. Long time since I read this book. In my memory all the Harry scenes in the movie were longer than in the book and the others were cut shorter.
Thought the Harry vs Voldemort was a bit long and it was all very emotional. Good film but I preferred Part I.
Overall the movie experience doesn't come close to the reading experience.

Watched it a couple of days, ago. To be fair, it was pretty fecking good. Some of it was epic, actually. Some of the duels were quality, though they've gone and faggoted the ending right up. How gay was that? They were never going to be able to pull that off, and this wasn't aided by the fact that they didn't actually bother making Hermione look any older at all.
They should've just ended it after the final fight. Saying that, minus the odd bit of emotional bollocks and the ridiculous ending, it was good stuff.

A lot of people seem to be complaining about the ending. It was a part of the book for those who did not read the book. The epilogue was the part 19 years later. Maybe they did not age Ron and Hermoine that well but that had to be in the movie because a lot of fans were a little eager to see that part.
First is Emma Watson and then Emma Roberts for me.
Yep, Neville is northern in the books as well.
Neville really shines in this one, it's the same in the book. During the Battle of Hogwarts Harry is actually busy hunting Horcruxes so it's Neville who really leads the battle.
I'm really surprised some people are saying Part I was better. Part I had some important bits in but it's very slow, there's a lot of hanging around in camps in forests - which, to be fair, is exactly what happens in the book - Part II has so much more action, and gets to the point much quicker. Part II was vastly better imo, I always knew I was going to think it was.
When I read the books, there are talk that he might the one. He certainly played a big part in it in the end and kudos to Rowling for recognizing that and giving him a big part.
Exactly.
Ok it's been a while since I read the book but.......
I thought Voldemort's magic was rendered useless because Harry sacrificed himself to save everyone much like Lily sacrificed herself to save Harry and this in turn made Voldemort's magic useless against Harry...
I seem to remember a bit in the book where everyone was ridiculing Voldemort because his spells wouldn't work or something?

Now which part are we talking about exactly? Is the part in the forest when Harry goes to die?
In the book he sets the sorting hat on fire with Neville in it, but fire puts itself out. And I think he also uses a silencing spell on someone which doesn't work. doesn't happen in the movie
I might be completely wrong as it was ages ago I read TDH, literally when it first came out, but I thought when he came back to Hogwarts his spells were rendered useless because Harry had sacrificed himself to save everyone?
Correct, but I don't think that would have worked very well on screen. Much more dramatic to have a fully-functioning Voldemort battling against Harry.
I don't know whether the second part was actually better than the first or not, but I do know that I enjoyed it more.
Thought it was absolutely rubbish. What a shit effort, and I god damn love the books too.
Same, by a million billion miles.
I did enjoy it, but thought the ending was a huge anti-climax.
Expected far more action and it to be far darker, but it seemed to just slowly burn out and fade away.
Everyone I know that have read the books were hoping they'd ommit the final scene, but I guess it was necessary to draw a line under the whole thing.
Great story all in all, and one that generally got better as the books and films matured.

Thought Harry was an idiot for breaking and throwing the Elder wand away - I'd have kept hold of that for sure.
I think everyone felt that way about your spoiler. I remember sharing a joke with a mate when i watched it about it. You could just imagine someone getting up and saying "feck this shit!" and just leaving after that moment. Pussy.
I guess he felt there was no need for it after all. I mean with Voldemort dead, the death eaters are too weak or scared to do anything. So there isn't any real danger.
I agree with the logic of it not been needed. But by virtue of killing Voldemort, Harry effectively becomes the most badass wizard there is. He doesn't have to use the Elder wand for evil.
Surely he deserves to have the most powerful wand in the World?
Haha listen to me talking like I really care, but had it have been me, I'd have kept it.

Hahaha true I would have done the same. It was a funny reaction from Emma and Rupert when Harry threw it away in the end. They were like, what the feck did you just do?
