The Dude Posted July 14, 2011 Author Share Posted July 14, 2011 From Roger Ebert's review: And without spoiling a single thing, let me just observe that the final scene clearly leaves an opening for a sequel. I know, Rowling says there won't be one. Just sayin'. I kinda chuckled when I read this. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110713/REVIEWS/110719994 Link to post Share on other sites
galadriel12 Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 I too have only read good reviews of the movie so far. It's absolutely okay to voice one's concern, Dude. We all love HP and care a lot for a worthy conclusion to the series. I have seen the movie yesterday, and I have to say: It is.. I love the movie, it's really a good one. I don't know if it's really a bad thing when the end come to fast. Doesn't that just show that the movie isn't overlong, dragged out or boring? I felt thoroughly entertained, engaged and moved the whole time. In all honesty, I could have done without the epilogue. The scene right before that would have been a good and fitting ending, IMO. I won't say what it was, not to spoil it for those who haven't seen the movie yet, but it wasn't fast or rushed. They did hold breath for a minute and dwell on the scene. I loved it. And throughout the movie we get calmer moments when the characters get their due. And with the exception of Oliver Wood and I think Dolores Umbridge, we get to see all of the characters again. At least once. I don't think any of you has to worry, I would be astonished if you disliked the movie. Link to post Share on other sites

ShipOfFools Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 It ended pretty much the same way in the book. The movie was true to the book, almost word for word. Link to post Share on other sites

remedysweet Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Thank you David Yates for using 'Leaving Hogwarts' and making the ending a true ending rather than half-arseing it. Link to post Share on other sites
