Spoilers!

I saw the the latest Harry Potter last week. I enjoyed it, but then, I tend to take the movies as a separate entity from the books. It's easy to see how some might be dissatisfied with it, for the weirdness of the Harry/Ginny kiss and overly emotional Hermione. The one thing I wished they had done, though, was spend more time investigating Voldemort's background, if only because at least one of those scenes in the book is a major clue about a horcrux. Then again, since they're splitting Deathly Hallows into two movies, I guess they'll have time, if they cut enough of the camping scenes.

I also didn't like how Harry witnessed the Draco/Dumbledore/Snape scene at the end, from under the astronomy tower without being immobilized. I get why they did that, but given that Harry has ignored authority plenty of times if he thought evil forces were afoot, I don't see why he'd follow Dumbledore's orders now. That's a charater trait that's been shown again and again since Sorcerer's Stone.

Also, wow, Dumbledore, what a cockblock.
