"Obviously."

OH, MY GOD.

I don't even know where to start, there is so much for me to squee about this movie. Centaurs and Lucius and SNAPE and Sirius and Imelda and Luna and Neville and the TWINS and just, god. Everything! And the book was boring and badly paced and they managed to correct all that.

Just, everything. I could ramble on for ages but, like. I might never stop. I just. Yeah. All of it apart from how Tonks didn't get enough screen time and Sirius and Snape didn't get their one scene and why did they choose to waste screen time on the stupid house elf exactly since they obliterated his one plot point? Damnit. But still.

I'm so relieved I don't have to hate David Yates. THANK YOU DAVID. YOU STILL ROCK MY SOCKS. NOW YOU NEED TO GET JOHN SIMM IN IF YOU DO DIRECT THE NEXT ONE. I DON'T CARE AS WHO.

SIRIUS IN THAT COAT.

AND SNAPE AS A TEEN. (I WANT AN EXTENDED SCENE!)

CENTAURS OH GOD I LOVE CENTAURS. Ron was so very likable I felt bad he didn't do any Quidditch or become a Prefect but he was still cool for a change. I don't usually like him. Luna was awesome, and I don't usually like her either. I got a Luciusgasm each time he took his wand out of his cane (...). Alan Rickman's delivery is as much foreplay as anybody should need. THEY KEPT SIRIUS CALLING HIM JAMES. Bellatrix was amazing. THE TWINS, AGAIN. In that scene where they comforted the little kid? Oh, you guys. ETC ETC ETC. I need to stop rambling and squeeing now or I never will. DUDES.

DUDES.

THE FAMILY TREE SCENE? I totally cried. Gary Oldman, you beautiful, beautiful man.

I got a Luciusgasm each time he took his wand out of his cane (...).

I somehow managed to miss that moment (concentrating too much on Sirius' impending death, I fear). [livejournal.com profile] so_spiffed ended up describing it to me...AT LENGTH. *g*

He was amazing. I mean, he's in no way my Sirius, you know, but he's still Gary freaking Oldman, and he does an amazing job of being 'a' Sirius.

Oh, god, how could you miss it. Just. Ngh. I might've squeed a little. Out loud. Mhmmmmm.

What did they do for the teen upside-down scene, cast different actors?

Yes! Thank god they didn't try and make the actors look younger. Meh.

I totally second all your squeeing.

Extended scene? Yes, please. That was one of my very few complaints. I was oh-so-ready for lots of flashbacky goodness, and all we got were a few tantalizing tidbits. But my, they were tantalizing, weren't they? *grin*

And Sirius... Gawd. Every time he appeared on screen I made the "Awww, you're gonna die" sound (yes, there is a sound for that =P). And then... ugh. Tears and heartbreak and messy emotionalness all over the place.

And Luciusgasm? Yes! That's the word I've been looking for! Dear, sweet, holy... things... of holiness... and stuff. Is it me or did he somehow get ever HAWT!er? *whew*

Mmmm... I need to see this again. Soon. Now-ish? Yes.
