I hope this means they will really slow down and focus on the story & emotions now. The last 2 movies were more like clipped, Cliff Notes versions in movie format. Daniel looks like he's really gained some emotional depth, growing up. They need to be able to put that into the films. This IS after all IT for him and V.
Thanks! It's in HD too. The graphics are awesome.
It looks incredible.
Since it's in 2 parts, so they don't have to squeeze all 800+ pages into 2 hours,
Plus, I really want to hear Mrs. Weasley yell that infamous line to Bellatrix Lestrange
She never felt the same way about the characters the way we did. 
I wept, I mean I wept 
over the main characters who died in Book 5 and particularly Book 6 - you know who I mean. But, in the movie, it was like watching an abbreviated clip on the evening news.
Yes, my DSis had that reaction. She can't quite understand why her sons and I (who all read the books) were so gung-ho over the series.
Of course not. When they so quickly glance over all the emotional elements, cut the dialogue down to a THIRD of what's in the books.
. . . And the DEATH scenes!
I'm sorry, but when you've been along for the journey in 6 books with some of these characters, they deserve their death scenes done properly - not skimmed past in slow motion. We've all watched enough death scenes to know what a good tearjerker death scene is.
Wow!
I started crying right at the dedication when I read JK Rowling's dedication for Book 7: "And to You, if you have stuck with Harry to the very end."
Yes, they had better get these last two right. Not just follow along with what happens in the book, like a synopsis, but get it right.
Me too!! I was a bawling mess through the whole thing honestly...mostly because I knew it was the end and I was so sad it was over. By the last couple of chapters I was crying so hard I could barely read the words

Me TOO!!! I cried during the last line of the book. Not only because it was the last line, but because I remembered watching an interview with JKR, around Book 3. She said while she was writing the beginning of Book 1, she already knew what the last line of Book 7 would be and had already written it out. We had all finally come full circle with her. 
And that it was the first one. 
I knew we were going to be in for a long, bad battle, after that.
