I saw the first part of Deathly Hallows! Now, my relationship with the Harry Potter movies is a bit weird and fraught; almost none of the characters are anything like they are in my head, the aesthetic took forever to grow on me at all, and my enjoyment of the films is inverse to my enjoyment/memory of the books -- so, although I know Prisoner of Azkaban is objectively a good movie, if a bit light on necessary backstory, I really don't like it much, and somewhere around Goblet of Fire I started liking the films a lot more, because they did lots of necessary editing. I realized around Half-Blood Prince that I honestly didn't remember which stuff they'd kept in and which they'd taken out; I mean, I know they cut Voldemort's backstory and that Hermione's throwing-of-birds enchantment was a lot less horrific than in the book, but that is it.
So in the spirit of that, hey, I really enjoyed Deathly Hallows! I remembered enough salient points to not be lost when they sacrificed backstory, but mostly I didn't know what was supposed to happen when or if they'd just skipped a huge chunk of something. Probably camping. Anyway. It was good fun!
( Here be spoilers, I guess: squee, frowny faces, and a hilarious conversation with my parents. )
