I can accept the changes this time though, because it was a great movie, they really tried to get a lot of the book in. Unlike the HBP which was a train wreck. And some of it was very close to how I imagined it in the book, which is always a bonus.

I wish the Death Eaters would have taken Luna from the train when they stopped it, would have made that scene better. It was so short.

Princess 20-11-2010 03:11 PM

Yeah but they didn't take her until after Christmas,that was on the first day back.

Vicky. 20-11-2010 03:16 PM

I thought it was great. And cried my eyes out near the end (already spoilered why :p)...first time ever that i have cried in the cinema :rolleyes:

Princess 20-11-2010 03:19 PM

Can someone just not put (contains spoilers) in the thread title? Cos most people have read the book anyways.

I know that but it just felt like a scene that could have better, in my opinion it should have been done later on and they should have taken her to show how bad things were. :shrug:

Really want to see it again for the third time, it was so consistently accurate to the book. Except for a few bits like no Dudley shaking Harry's hand and no argument in Grimmauld Place with Lupin or Harry seeing Lily's letter. :(

Princess 20-11-2010 03:22 PM

Yeah there was a good few bits missing but it stuck to the book a lot more than some of the last couple have. Like with Hedwig,they just made that bit shorter but still fit in with what they left out.

I saw your tumblr post and agree completely - I hate all of these people demanding "NO SPOILERS!"

It's been written on paper for 3 and a half bloody years!

Vicky. 20-11-2010 05:50 PM

Well...spoilers in here though are really going to be things that the film missed out that are in the book and that/things they changed, I think its fair enough to expect that to be in spoilers...though yeah, the actual book has been out for years and to expect some of the main talking points to not be discussed it a bit odd :laugh:

To add to my crying at dobbys death...

Spoiler:

I also didnt like how they glossed over the goodbye thing with the Dursleys and Harry, when Dudley admits that he doesnt hate him...thought that would be good to see

I liked what they did with Hedwig...when they made her sacrifice herself instead of just dying while sitting in the cage :')

Was pleasantly surprised they did not do the scene with the wizard being given puking pastels and spewing all over the place...was expecting to have to block my ears and shut my eyes :p

Shaun 20-11-2010 06:27 PM

Oh I also loved Dave from Gavin&Stacey's appearance as Reg Cattermole :love:

Smithy 20-11-2010 06:36 PM

Haha me too, when he just appeared after Ron kissed his wife in a vest and shorts was hilarious. :joker:

InOne 20-11-2010 10:52 PM

Anyone who watches the film should've read the books anyway. If not, shush :nono:

No me either :hugesmile: but Ted was the old guy(Grindelwald (sp?)) who was in the prison cell when Voldemort was looking for the Elder wand :bigsmile:

Callum 20-11-2010 11:17 PM

I thought I recognised Grindelwald from somewhere! :shocked:

Bill Nighy was good as Scrimgeour I thought but he sounded really Welsh, especially when he was reading out the will.

Shaun 20-11-2010 11:41 PM

Yeah I didn't remember Scrimgeour being Welsh LOL

I absolutely loved the film! saw the first showing at my cinema on friday morning and it was just amazing, lots of sad moments and great action, one of the saddest moments for me:

Spoiler:

At the beginning when Hermione had to erase her parent's memories and remove herself from all the family photos.

MeMyselfAndI 21-11-2010 11:33 AM

Spoiler:

when dobby dies i was so gutted lol

Braden 21-11-2010 11:56 AM

Hopefully watching this today :)

I watched the first 36 minutes and though it was very dark and emotional. Can't wait to see Dolores' in the film, she's my favourite character...And Luna, Fleur and Cho :love:

Z 21-11-2010 01:11 PM

I started crying when Hedwig died, I like that they changed it to her sacrificing herself for Harry, genuinely a beautiful moment! People started cheering and clapping at Dobby's speech at the end in the showing I was at, actually really added to the experience for me haha, cried at that too... I really loved the film, it seemed a lot more mature than previous HP films, a lot truer to the original book and generally a greater standard in all aspects, better special effects, acting etc... Loved it! Dobby's death was so sad gah!

That was so sad and such an amazing scene, when her voice broke when she said "Coming mum" :bawling:

Harry Potter has cast his biggest box-office spell yet with a franchise record $125.1 million domestically over opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" also added $205 million in 54 overseas countries, bringing the film's worldwide total to $330.1 million.

In terms of domestic revenue, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" came in ahead of the series' best previous debut of $102.7 million for 2005's "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
But factoring in today's higher admission prices, the latest movie had roughly the same size audience as the franchise's best previous draws — "Goblet of Fire" and 2001's "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," which launched the series. "Deathly Hallows" and those two earlier movies each sold around 16 million tickets in their first weekend.

Overseas markets for "Deathly Hallows" were led by a $28 million opening in Great Britain, $21.8 million in Germany, $14.8 million in Australia, $14 million in Japan and $12.3 million in Russia.

The movie audience has grown up along with young wizard Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint). Distributor Warner Bros. reported that 25 percent of the audience for the new movie was between 18 and 34, compared with only 10 percent for "Sorcerer's Stone" nine years ago.
"When we started 'Harry Potter,' basically, the audience was driven to theaters by their parents. Today, those same kids are driving to the midnight shows themselves," said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros.

Playing in 4,125 theaters domestically, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" averaged an enormous $30,332 a cinema.

The huge opening bodes well for next July's "Deathly Hallows: Part 2," the eighth and final movie based on J.K. Rowling's seven "Harry Potter" novels. The franchise so far has taken in more than $5.5 billion worldwide.

Warner Bros. plans to release "Deathly Hallows: Part 2" in 3-D, which should give it a big box-office boost, since theaters charge a few dollars more to see movies projected in 3-D compared with 2-D.

"This is kind of the warmup to the potentially 3-D supercharged finale, and that could really take these 'Potter' numbers to another level," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com.

The studio had hoped to release "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" in 3-D, but the filmmakers ran out of time to convert the film, which was shot in 2-D, for 3-D projection.

"Deathly Hallows: Part 1" landed at No. 6 on the domestic revenue chart for biggest opening weekends, a list headed by 2008's "The Dark Knight" with $158.4 million. It also was this year's second-biggest debut, behind "Iron Man 2," which is No. 5 on the all-time chart with $128.1 million.

With $61.2 million Friday, "Deathly Hallows: Part 1" had the fifth-biggest opening day ever.

The film took in $12.4 million, just over 10 percent of its weekend domestic revenue, in huge-screen IMAX theaters. That broke the previous IMAX record debut of $12.1 million set in March by "Alice in Wonderland."
The figures for the UK are amazing, apparently Britain's biggest ever opening weekend sales. :shocked:
