QUOTE(Bookworm_Weasley @ Nov 19 2009, 08:14 PM)  I think this was to show that the places Harry had always thought of as safe weren't that safe any more. I guess they will have rebuilt the Burrow with magic for the wedding. I know it seems pointless for the DEs to burn it down when it can be fixed with magic, but I think it was more a case of the DEs sending a message ("We can get at you wherever you are") rather than causing any lasting damage. Yeah, I think you're right, but I still don't like it, and never will. But I can't change it, so I just accept it for what it is - a movie, and not a book.

Mostly, I realized that the film makers have been way too economical with such rich material, and that there is no comparison to the books. I have pretty much gone back to them completely.
The only redeeming factor for me is the set design, which feels right for the most part.

What frustrated me the most was the fact that they cut Dumbledores funeral altogether, not even a mention of it! To me it kinda looked like they just decided "ok sick of filmng now lets wrap it up in one quick last scene"
I was however very impressed with the film as a whole, but still cannot pick a favourite! |

Yeah, I agree. Even though I actually liked the scene where the students light their wands and pay tribute to Albus, and the Dark Mark vanishes, I missed the funeral. I wanted to see all the characters from previous films return, and the part where the centaurs come out of the forest to honor Dumbledore - just all of it. It would've been heartbreaking to watch, but I really wish they hadn't cut it. -------------------- Malfoy: 'You're dead, Potter.' Harry raised his eyebrows.

I'm not certain, but I think the funeral might be at the beginning of DH part 1. -------------------- "Why do you think they're after us, because we're so awesome?

I heard that too about the funeral at the beginning of DH. But I can't recall the source. It may just be a rumour.

If they could pull that off, that would be amazing!:) I've heard it a few times, but as I say, I don't know if it's certain. I really hope it's true though. At first I was worried that opening DH with the funeral might ruin the tone of the film (since opening the book with The Dark Lord Ascending really sets the dark tone of the book) but now I actually think that showing the funeral right before the part at Malfoy Manor might work really well for setting the tone. -------------------- "Why do you think they're after us, because we're so awesome?
