Unlike when the previous movies came out, I didn't re-read the series before I went to see this installation. I went in with high hopes to see my favorite parts in the book come to life on the screen. For the most part I was not disappointed. One of the parts I thought they should have dug a little deeper for would be with Dobby at the end. I felt like they could have made it a little more real for Harry & they should have showed the headstone he makes for him. Also the Wormtail bit part in the cellar wasn't very cohesive. Since they never have made him a big part of the end for Harry in the previous movies, I suppose that is just one of the side plots that falls by the wayside for timing. I loved all of the visuals in this movie. It seemed to make the struggle all the more real for our heroes. All in all I can't wait to see the final battle between all of our favorite characters in the next installment! It's sure to be an emotional end to one of my favorite series!
I LOVED the chemistry between Jacob & Bella. The only creepy thing about the Volturi is Jane. I don't think they did a very good job with Aro. He just comes off like a touchy-feely pervo. Overall I loved it. I am seriously contemplating defecting to Team Jacob after Taylor Lautner's performance (maybe just for the movie versions though!). Since we don't really see Robert in many scenes, I will only say that the beginning of the movie when they are in class was just about my fav scene of maybe all time with Edward (or a very close second to the kiss on the bed scene from Twilight!). Nothing is sexier I think than getting Shakespeare quotes from a 106 year old vampire! Nuff said!!
