One thing, you would have changed in HBP movie

[Unrepentant]

Prince Prince Prince Prince Prince. There was only three mentions about the prince, and when Snape said "I'm the Half-Blood prince?' it was like: So what?
I would've changed the movie so that it contained more Prince!

[JimmyPotter]

What I found annoying about the attack scene at the Burrow is that everyone was just standing around while the house was on fire. Arthur, Molly, Lupin, and Tonks are all fully qualified wizards; at least one of them should know how to do an Aguamenti spell to conjure water to put out the fire.

My list is huge- but I think my biggest bugaboo was Harry not getting frozen and hidden under his cloak at the end.

[SevrusSnape]

Man this is tough there were a handful of things I would of tweaked like having Harry be petrified and Snape not see him there, or adding the mini battle at the end, also adding a bit more about the HBP himself. I saw a post above saying "so what" in response to finding out Snape was the HBP and I agree 100%. It felt forced to me so basically I would want the last 15 minutes changed

[Hysteria]

I really don't think we needed more TOm Riddle. By the time DH comes around they'll have to re-hash everything about him anyway and DD didn't leave out anything that cant be explained in a few lines by Harry.


I just would have changed the editing around so it didn't feel (to me) like it was jumping and would have cut most of the scenes with Draco testing the cabinet (which turned out to be rather pointless anyway).

ETA: Oh, also would have made DD paralyse Harry at the end.

ME TOO! That irked me to no end! He just stood there and didn't speak!

Other than simply staying truer to the original book, what would I change? Gosh, one major thing...I'd have included the battle at the end. That halped to cement Harry's resolve. One minor thing I would have changed would have been the Harry/Ginny kiss. A little more passion. Ginny's been waiting years and I just think there'd be more passion to it than there was.

[decarus]

Garry/Ginny? That was great. Thanks very much. I agree though. The kiss was the small detail i would want changed. They could have had one passionate kiss and still left everything the same and i would be much happier with how their relationship went.

As for a larger detail, i think they should have done more explanation with the horcruxes. Simply showing them when Harry touches the ring in the flashes would have helped. I also would have taken out the line they could be anything or added a line such as, but Voldemort chose objects of importance to him. Doing both of these things would have helped.

I do still hope they make the connection of the horcruxes to the objects from founders of Hogwarts. They may not, but i do hope so.

if i was limited to one thing i would cut the line where Harry yells "WE TRUSTED YOU SNAPE"

[IenjoyAcidPops]

If I could change one thing, I actually think it would be Greyback - which is to say I'd have someone give him some sort of introduction or buildup of some kind, even just a line like "Fenrir Greyback is the most savage werewolf out there." As it is, he's just some dude.

In all fairness he's not really that important a character...especially since Bill is an almost non existent character in the movies

Ditto The way they did it made very little sense to me.

Granted, but if he's going to be in the movie I'd rather it not just be for the sake of being in the movie. They could just as well have scrapped him.

I think they did it to reinforce Harry's devotion to dumbledore's orders...still, in the book Dumbledore knew Harry could not possibly stand there while Snape killed him

I think the line was 'He trusted you'. I am not sure if that makes it any better or not for you, but i think that was the quote.

Eh, still seems like a corny line to me. I dunno.

Actually a more glaring thing I think I would have cut is the Burrow attack...not just because I'm a canon freak but because it seemed unnecessary to me

[AccioHP]

I would've excluded the attack on the Burrow and added the Battle at Hogwarts.

I know they say it's repetitive because there's a battle at Hogwarts in DH2, but isn't it repetitive to have an attack at the Burrow when in DH1 it is also attacked?!

Yeah, it was 'he trusted you'.
I thought it was a chilling line.

I was about to say "maybe they haven't included that," but knowing that Bill & Fleur are in the film, as is their wedding, I assume the trio are indeed returing to The Burrow.

Yeah I'm assuming it'll be at the Burrow also.

[MasterOfDeath]

I would have kept the "I am not worried, Harry. I am with you." Not only because it was such a great, emotional and special line to me but because the film was sort of lacking in the 'coming of age', 'Dumbledore passing on the mantle to Harry' theme. At the end of the movie, we feel Harry is completely out of his league. With the passing of the torch moment, it would have felt more natural and hopeful, imo.

This is the only thing I'd add. The rest of the movie was perfect. I mean the editing was a bit jumpy and choppy but it worked for me this time for some reason.
