re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Film Review

Actually, my biggest gripe with the movies have always been that they are too respectful of the source material, particulaerly the first two films. It felt like it was just rushing to get to specific plot points. I do think they conciously failed to develop some characters, focusing primarily on Harry. This means some second tier characters have been abslutely gutted in the film, and come their "big moment", we don't really care that much about them - Tonks, the Weasley twins, even Neville to some extent.

I do think the films LOOK very good, and the films are much better at the action sequences, which Rowling sort of sucks at writing about. So I liked adding the attack on the burrows. It something the films do well that the books don't.
