Originally Posted By Dabob2 Rickman is a pretty slim guy; is it possible they padded him a bit for the "present" scenes so they could "unpad" him for the younger, thinner scenes? For the face, they could also use makeup to add some pounds, then take that makeup away (and add other "youth-enizing" makeup).

Originally Posted By markymouse I appreciated the younger looking Snape. That was a cool, understated effect. I also liked the older Potter and friends. Given that they aren't teenagers anymore, most of them are as convincing as middle aged parents as they are as high school students.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >>Haven't read any of the books nor seen the movies.<< Well, give the first book a try sometime. It's really good stuff. I understand the "what is all the geeky fuss about?" feeling, but honestly, the books are incredible and imaginative and quite funny as well, and most of the films in the series have been terrific adaptations.

I saw the first Lord of the Rings and didn't like it at all, so never watched any of the others.
Originally Posted By DDMAN26 I absolutely loved this. I thought it hit the right emotional beats, I thought the acting was terrific across the board. There were no dull patches. The effects were crazy good. And part of me is sad that the whole thing is over, but I can't wait to visit this film, the rest of the films and the books for years to come. A

Originally Posted By JenniBarra I saw this yesterday - intense! I knew to bring the tissues with me, but I felt like I cried through half the dang movie. I'm glad I saw it, but, unlike the other movies, I don't know if I could watch it again due to the emotional roller coaster...
Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I thought that it was very exciting and enjoyed lots of it. I was upset with a lot of differences from the books that I didn't think were necessary. Some I understand were, and there were some added lines that were really funny. I did not feel that it was as emotionally gripping as it should have been in spots but maybe that had more to do with where I watched it, as I have heard and read that lots of people felt differently.
Originally Posted By brotherdave I saw the movie and found it a satisfactory conclusion to the series. Having never read the books, I can't compare, but the movie series quality thankfully stayed consistant throughout. I'm hoping that J.K. Rowling decides to expand beyond Harry Potter, perhaps get into the "prequel" stories of how Voldemort came into power, and the adventures that Harry's parents and friends may have had.
Originally Posted By MissCandice I loved it. I laughed, I cried (quite a bit), and I tried not to be outraged at what was different than the book.
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I really enjoyed it. The one thing that bothered me was the way certain moments of emotional impact were barely dealt with (I'm trying not to say too much for the 3 people who haven't yet read the books or seen the movie!)
Originally Posted By irishfan I know exactly what your talking about. It seemed to gloss over these, especially considering they were so powerful in the book.
