finally I have seen Harry

I have finally seen the final part of Harry Potter.   I find it too painful to sit in the cinema these days so even my fave films like Harry Potter I have to wait for the DVD.
I watched it on Tuesday night and I loved it.  It did feel a shame it had to be broken into two though. I realise of course there couldn't be a movie for four hours, but it felt...somehow....not right.  I really can't put my finger on it.  I just felt a little let down 
Warning some spoilers may be in this post.

It was very simplified though.  When I read book 7 I had to keep going back and reading some pages twice because so much was going on.  Sometimes I wasn't sure what was what at the end of a page or a chapter so I re-read it.
As of course everything can't be in the movies I thought it was done well and quite simply.  Some important things were skimmed over though. Some important things like the death of a Weasley.  I found that such a shock in the book and was very upset and yet it was so lightly touched upon in the film.  You could of missed it if you blinked.
I was however, very happy to see they put in the 19 years later bit, it made it feel like a happy ending, just like in the book.

All that aside though I did love it and am sad it's all over.

JK Rowling bought property here in Tassie quite some years ago and apparently has bought more recently.  I wonder why? Does anyone know?  Maybe she is going to lock herself away and right another epic.  But how could you ever top Harry Potter???

I read somewhere that the buying a property thing was just a hoax. Who knows these days??!! So glad you've seen the last HP at last. I agree, it was hard to show in film what was written in the book, but I loved the epilogue!!
