There's also a scene where McGonagall, Kingsley and Slughorn fight Voldemort, not to mention that before Bellatrix fights Molly Weasley, she's fighting Ginny, Luna and Hermione at the same time

I WANTED TO SEE THAT

altough I LOVE the movie as it is

Those are such SPECIFIC things though, and they really have no effect on the outcome of the story. You gotta cut the fat for the movie version of any book.

This!

Something I never understood in any of the movies was how the Death Eaters could fly with that black smoke thing... I thought only Voldemort could fly, as it was such a big deal when he did it in the 7th book.

Well they kind of do in a way, in some of the scenes, for example when they fight Bellatrix, because it shows she's a really powerful witch and therefore Molly defeating her comes with more of a shocker at the end, for the other two scenes, I think everyone would've enjoyed them

besides the movie was quite short at the end

(still I LOVED the movie <333333)

I think they didn't fly but dissaparated, but I don't why they left the black smoke

@michael

I did hate though how Bellatrix and Voldemort "exploded" or whatever happened when they died. Wizards don't just EXPLODE like that

I♥Toronto

should have just been 2 parts but 3 hrs each

I didn't like how Bellatrix went on so many fights they would do the most to try to kill her and that bitch did it so easily

Bellatrix was turned into ince or something and then shattered, Voldemort exploded into ashes or something, but it was cool

I thought the movie was pretty close to the book. Maybe because I haven't read the book in over a year, so I may have forgotten a lot. I think a mistake a lot of people make is reading the book right before they watch the corresponding movie. Of course you're going to be disappointed.

Of course, that's why I read the books always after watching them ovies, people that expect the movies to be as complete as the books are just foolish

It would be cool to have seen more of Dumbledore and Grindelwald's backstory - with flashbacks and whatnot. That was probably the only thing I really wanted to see that they didn't include much of.

I think two is enough, it was the director's fault that some of the more important scenes like Kreacher's tale were sacrificed for unnecessary fillers and how the Part 1 was crammed and divided unevenly with the majority of the book making part 2 seemed really short.

No, it was the screenwriter's or the editor's fault.

They actually filmed all that and included it in the version of the film that was screened online.

Well to be honest I think from book 4 to this last one the movies should have been divided, I am saying this because we would get more time with this amazing saga

and there were a lot of scenes cutted. I can't believe there wasn't a proper goodbye to Dumbledore and the fact that they cut in the second movie the Malfoy and Lucius part in the Diagonally part that actually let to the possession of some girl in one of this last movies was a little wrong some people could not understand how Malfoy was involved in all this. Nevertheless, it was so amazing and I am gonna buy all movies ASAP and watch them everyday (ok this is my emotions talking)

Can you tell me what happened in Kreacher's Tale?

A very lovely scene about loyalty, friendship and redemption of Kreacher from being a bad bitch to a good sis...

Oh and it also cleared up how Sirius died and how it was his own fault he did.

FAIL @ everyone discussing how much they wish the movies were different. A novel doesn't always translate perfectly to on-screen action, so if you want the full story, and haven't read all the books, I suggest you stick your nose into the books right now... The movies were great on their own, especially if you read all the books, because no matter what was left out of the films, we already know what happened. It ended just fine. I know it's human nature to criticize, but it won't change what's already happened.

Gurl, no. There's nothing wrong with adding ten minutes or more of additional significant scenes especially if this was the final part of the series. The way I feel about this cutting/editing business is for them to add another theater showing for extra money and add deleted scenes on the dvd as a means for people to want them to buy the DVD/Bluray of the film. Greedy bastards...

Well, if you're talking about the second part, then yes, it is. But you do know that the movie had a really really short screenplay and was just a 2 hours and 10 min. film...

It wouldn't hurt for them to add a couple of minutes of screentime though. Just goes to show people on the movie biz are pretty greedy bastards.

Gurl no.

She could use Devil Snares though but those scenes could be cut but I really wanted the professors to ganged up on Voldemort to show how powerful that bastard is.

Bellatrix didn't kill Sirius. Sirius was just a one-directional-minded fellow, he got his own ass offed by the veil of death...

Razzle

They should have made a movie for each chapter

j/k but three parts would have been better

Bathomet

2 was just enough imo.They should have found a balance between the length of the two movies instead of making a trylogy. Part 2 is unnecessary short.

Cas

3 movies for the final book is a overkill, IMO.

GaGaFan

A trilogy would have drawn it on for waaaaay too long.
