The Elder Wand was buried with Dumbledore. Draco was the master of the Elder Wand because he disarmed Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower, but he never actually got the wand. The wand he had in Deathly Hallows was his own wand.
Voldemort thought Snape was now the master of the Elder Wand because he was the one who killed Dumbledore, but he never knew that Dumbledore had asked Snape to kill him. So Snape never actually became the master of the Elder Wand, it was still Draco.
Voldemort killed Snape thinking it would make him the wand's master, but at that point Harry was the true master of the wand because had defeated Draco at Malfoy Manor. Harry had left there with Draco's wand, so had defeated him, even though it was just a matter of Harry snatching the wand away.
Excellent explanation of the elder wand ownership. Voldemort doesn't have a clue at this point in time that the wand he is holding, at the end of part one, has another master besides him, and that master is Harry. I had to explain all of this to my grandson who hasn't read the last two books. So I do wonder how much the audience does understand right now about the ownership of the wand.
Was no one besides me angry at the fact that we didn't get to see the death of Peter Pettigrew, the same way that it was portrayed in the book?
I loved the scene with the doe. Absolutely wonderful. I filled my grandson in on this part as well, after asking him if it would spoil anything for him. He was surprised at who sent the patronus.
I was also hoping for the scene between Harry and Lupin, where he sends Lupin home to his pregnant wife, and tells him to not abandon his child. Tonks was ready to tells us she was pregnant in the beginning, when Moody cut her off. So I knew the other scene wouldn't be there since no one had told us about a baby.
I thought the scene with Harry and Hermione kissing, was a bit over the top. Poor Ron, was really tortured emotionally by that locket.
Since we didn't learn much about Dumbledore's connection with Godric's Hollow, a lot of things in the graveyard there were left out of the movie. I missed seeing the tribute to Harry that was also part of the book.
I was dissapointed more by things that were changed than left out.
So much of the movie was really really good. However, to include it all would have made the movie very long.
I look forward to part 2.
