Sorry gye's. I can be over-dramatic
We Really want to help Mrs Philpot Five go to Finniston Farm
Has anyone seen the final Harry Poter film? I've just been to see it and thought it incredibly well done. Just wish I'd taken some tissues though, there are only so many tears a cardigan sleeve can mop up.
I have, and yes, I too cried a lot. Thankfully I had taken tissues!
"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Without giving anything away to those who haven't read/seen HP7, which bit got you? For me it was Snape's memories.
I cried at a few bits but most of my tears were for Snape.

No, I don't think there's anything extra in the film. I cried at a couple of points in the book though, and to see them portrayed on the film in such an excellent way just set me off again. Mind you, it doesn't take a lot to make me cry, The Railway Children, Sound of Music, Ghost all spring to mind and I'm sure there are plenty of others.

The film does beautifully portray Snape's memories and that had me just about sobbing. "After all this time?" "Always".
Katherine, "Daddy, my Daddy!" always makes me cry. Then again I cry at the end of The Little Mermaid when her father loves her so much he is willing to let her go, at The Lion King when Mufasa dies, I can't watch the Land Before Time any more it's too upsetting...

Yes, the Snape part was beautifully done, the bit about Harry having his mother's eyes got me too. As for "Daddy, my Daddy" quick pass the tissues! I haven't seen the Lion King or Land Before Time, but if I ever do, I'll make sure the Kleenex are handy

I didn't like [film] Snape at first, but he grew on me and he's probably my favourite character now.
"Daddy, my Daddy" is from The Railway Children! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTPPSSbZWHI" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; about 5 minutes in. I was in tears from the 5 minute mark, before she even says it! *SOB*

I can't remember what my initial impression of Snape was on reading the first book, but certainly the first time I saw Alan Rickman on screen I thought he was rather lovely.
!! SPOILER ALERT!! SPOILER ALERT!!
SPOILER ALERT
I actually predicted that Dumbledore had asked Snape to kill him at the end of book 6, I just somehow felt that he wasn't as evil as he we had been led to believe all the way through. I wasn't surprised to learn he was a double agent either, but I thought the fact that he'd done everything because of his love for Lily very moving.
As for Railway Children, I've only got to hear the music leading up to the "Daddy" bit and the eyelids start prickling.

Oh yes, I find Snape quite attractive myself!

I can't say I predicted that, but I was horrified that I might have been wrong about Snape being good, and was refusing to believe he was evil.

I really like Snape Dunno why cos he is so awful to Harry throughout the books but there's something very attractive about him. And, erm, the film Snape too
