I did in fact spend a goodly portion of this movie sobbing. Not as much as I suspected though! And occasionally they were RAGE TEARS. Because holy fuck Slytherins. Seriously, I cannot get over how angry their whole deal makes me. I was having a whole bunch of THIS IS JUST GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN FUCK YOU HOUSE POLITICS feelings, too. And McGonagall, why you gotta be so awesome all the time and then be incredibly racist and make me hate you. *sigh*
Also, still refuse to believe Snape's dead. That's just not canon in my head, and there are many ways in which I can explain how it didn't happen and LALALA EVERYTHING'S FINE IN MY SHIP.
Was really happy that the Malfoy's didn't have that final scene of sitting sadly and ashamedly in the corner of the Great Hall, though. Narcissa was just like HEY GUYS LET'S GTFO BECAUSE WE DON'T NEED ANY OF THESE BITCHES. <3 Malfoys.
In general, though, I was left feeling a little hollow by the movie. Felt the same about the book, too, actually. I think what is, in my head, real Harry Potter swerved heavily in the direction of not canon during the Long Summer. There's a lot of OotP, but after that I can't remember much that felt like it was my HP. Basically fandom ruined me (or, perhaps, made me much much happier than canon ever did).
Epilogue was fantastic in my theater, though. The whole audience had been crying and gasping and laughing and being veryvery involved, and then the screen faded to black and "19 years later" popped up and EVERYONE GROANED. There was some booing. And then what must have been almost the entire audience spent the epilogue laughing uproariously and wincing over the aging make-up and the lines and the actors and EVERYTHING. It was like we'd just watched a movie that was incredibly important to us all, and then someone stuck a blooper reel at the end so we could all recover. IT WAS GREAT.
