It makes it harder to anticipate new book adaptations, and I'm really afraid I'm going to get severely disappointed by trusting the people making the Hunger Games adaptation. :/

But anyway, HP.
What the best snape line?

You obviously don't understand that was suppose to represents months of them trying to find horcruxes. Some of those sciences were really beautiful.

Yep, pretty much the best line ever.

I've never understood spoilers for book adaptations...are they for things that have been changed?

Get over it and appreciate the magic.
Well I obviously didn't think they accidentally made it different from the book. As Faer mentioned in regards to Snape's missing lines, there were some things that were pretty awesome in the book that got cut out, which sucks for people who really liked those parts. They can't throw in everything though, I guess, or else the movies would be even longer.

Though that's true, I think the screenplay writers should be more careful about what they throw out and what they don't. I mean, I'd rather have had Dumbledore's funeral than Ron and Lav-Lav...

They have to cut scenes. If you get the special edition blu-ray they have many scenes that were filmed and were supposed to be in the film but after watching it, it really doesn't fit into the films, to those who loves the books it fits in fine and we can appreciate it BUT for those who have only just watched the movies thy wouldn't understand the significance.

I'm just sick of people complaining that the movies aren't the same as the book. I used to be really annoyed by it but after watching the moves like 20 times and reading the books 6 times... it really doesn't matter. Its just impossible to have everything in the movies.

I refuse to watch the trailer because I want to be completely surprised. This is a movie worth seeing in IMAX for sure! So sad this is the last movie though :(. I will no longer get my yearly dosage of HP!

LOL. I watched Harry Potter and DH part 1, and suffice to say, though it wasn't the best, I need to see the second part! Plus, the second part has all the battle scenes and SNAPE! (Can I say best character ever?)

I didn't like slow-mo Dobby's death, though. :/ It should've been a fast what-just-happened-OMG-THERE's-A-KNIFE-STICKING-OUT-OF-DOBBY-D: thing.

But then again, you can't please everyone.
