Did he??? o_O
I guess I missed that through ALL MY TEARS.
Then what was the point of the whole "stay with me" that's dumb.
The Elder Wand answered to Draco because he "won" it off Dumbledore in the sixth book. Harry defeated him in a duel in the Malfoy Manor so the wand was his from that point on. That's why it was being all wonky for Voldemort through the entire film.

Yes I know that, however
was the the actual reason why Harry wasn't killed by the spell? I always thought it had to do with the whole power of love thing. At least that's the way Dumbledore made it sound in the book.

Wand shenanigans + the power of love.
I would have to reread the book to give a better explanation, but yeah I think it was combination of both.
SHE SHOULD NOT BE THERE.

You mean the whole locket thing in the first half wasn't proof enough?
Don't even get me started on Harry/Hermione. Call me a crazy shipper or whatever, but the one big moment they had in this film solidified for me that they should have been canon. If you've seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Their relationship has far more depth than Ron/Hermione's "bickering because we like each other." Sorry but THAT is what love looks like to me.
Ofc people can excuse it as film-canon blah blah but the films have shown their relationship the way I've been seeing it as before the first one was even released.

The explanation they give about Lily's protection (and their wand connection or whatever the fuck) always struck me as unnecessary if the owner of all Deathly Hallows was supposed to be invincible anyway. idk that always struck me as a much neater explanation than all this "oh yes your blood's now tied to his blood because of that weird rebirth ritual and BLUH BLUH BLUH HARRY"
EDIT:
on cho:
I think her costume choice was just lazy (I'm not sure if they realized she was a year older or they handwaved it) but I always liked that she came back when Neville called all the DA members because she's a bawws
sigh I like her character so much ;;
sigh I like her character so much ;;
SHIPPINGNESS
tbh I prefer Harry/Luna over everything -- I adore every scene they have together and I think Dan and Evanna play off each other so well -- but I'd take Harry/Hermione in a goddamn heartbeat over H/G and Hr/R.
Harry/Ginny is even worse my GOD that kiss was fucking TERRIBLE even the actors couldn't believe this shit was happening. But yeah I always saw Hermione/Ron something like a summer fling that would fall apart once they got over their hormones and realized they were terrible for each other.

I call film-canon. The way Harry and Hermione are presented in the films is not at all what they are like in the books, IMHO.
She was there in the book. Didn't a lot of former students sneak back in to Hogwarts? Or at least the DA peeps did.

idk I always thought it was weird that Harry had the most emotional moment in the books (seeing his parents grave) with Hermione as opposed to Ginny or anything.
CALL ME A HATER BUT I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING TO THE HARRY AND GINNY RELATIONSHIP BEYOND 'and ginny was totally hot btw gaiz and so cool and harry was all WOW SHE IS SO HOT AND COOL'

tldr shipping anyone is better than Ginny really. It's just so god awful. I always thought Ron/Hermione was cute but would never last past high school?

I agree with this. Although wasn't
the catch to the whole Deathly Hallows thing that the resurrection stone was essentially pointless as it only brought people back as phantoms rather than for reals?
Also, I know heroes always do this, but he should have kept the elder wand, dammit. I know the tired "but it'll only cause more problems blah blah," but how long did Dumbledore manage to hold onto it? And not only did he use it without losing it for all that time, but no one even knew he had it. And most people still don't know it actually exists.

this is true but that doesn't change the fact that the owner of all three Hallows becomes a master of death.
and I fully agree that the Hallows explanation is better than the ~love barrier. I always thought it was dumb how out of all the people Voldemort killed, it was only ONE person who was able to enact a love barrier. I'm sure in an all-out war there were others who willingly sacrificed themselves for another :/

Not to mention Ginny just has no personality, or does anything worth mentioning. What does Ginny do, expect become Tom Riddle's pawn to re- open the Chamber of Secrets ? Ginny is just..... there. I liked Harry/ Cho, even though Cho was depressed about Cedric Q_Q

Hey y'all. 
Oh yay we're hating on Ginny. 
Harry/Ginny is the worst WTFRowling? ever. My dad, who's never read the books, said this: "How tragic that the hero, after everything he's been through, loses the girl he loves to his best friend and gets stuck with the blandest young lady I've ever seen? He could have at least dated the blonde one. " LOL. I blame Kloves for the "girl he loves" stuff. H/Hr was practically canon in movie-verse.

Saw this Saturday night with friends and OH GOD SO GOOD.
seriously the movie was so satisfying and awesome I didn't even feel sad that Harry Potter is now effectively over. It was just like, fuck yes, that's how you do an ending.
anyways this is really tldr so YEAH WAS AWESOME
- I really, really wished it had opened with the refrain from Hedwig's Theme. Yes it appeared in various parts throughout the movie and in the credits but I think would have made the beginning just that much more powerful, especially since they've shown in previous movies just how haunting and angsty that melody can be.
- Didn't get to see Fred's death. I was hoping we'd get to see angry/grieving Ron and George go absolutely nuts and own some peeps, and they don't even mention Fred's name until Neville's little speech - if I hadn't read the books I wouldn't have even known which twin had died.
- No house elves.
- Random boathouse that the Voldemort/Snape confrontation took place in. I just can't see any reason whatsoever why they changed it to this random, never-before-mentioned house instead of the Shrieking Shack. Harry was all like 'I KNOW WHERE HE IS' and I was just like 'WELL I'M GLAD YOU DO BECAUSE I SURE AS FUCK DON'T'.
- Harry telling Ron and Hermione that he had to die. It's not that the scene wasn't well acted or anything, it's just I really can't see R and H being okay with him walking off to his death all on his own even if they understood why he had to do it. I would have preferred it if they had either kept it similar to the book (Harry leaves using the Invisibility Cloak) or had Harry like, stun them or petrificus totalus them or something when they tried to come with him.
- Harry/Ginny kiss. Fucking awkward much.
- that we didn't get to see the McGonagall/Kingley/Slughorn (IIRC) vs Voldemort duel. I understand why it wasn't there but it could have been so incredibly awesome.
- Dumbledore's backstory getting cut. At least they put in vague mentions about his sister and shit, but still. I really hope the extended edition expands on his story.
- Snape literally crying his memories. It's not that I didn't like it so much as I was just like WTF why? What's wrong with the old-fashioned way of them leaking through his temple?

- McGonagall. ALL OF HER SCENES WERE PURE GOLD.
- Snape. Oh God Alan Rickman I love you so much. I love how he got the very first scene, I love how in his fight against McGonagall he hesitates for a moment before forcing himself to level his wand and then using only defensive spells, I loved (in a tragic sort of way) his death sequence (brutal indeed), and I absolutely adored the memory sequence. He finally got to really show off just how incredible an actor he is and man did he ever fucking nail the character. (though for some reason I really wish they had kept the 'would you like me to write your eulogy first' line because it's just so Snape but oh well was awesome anyways)
- BHC as Hermione. lmao
- That scene in Malfoy Manor where Voldemort just casually strolls through the GIGANTIC BLOOD POOL of all the dead Gringott's guards. I was surprised they actually showed that, considering it's kind of a 'kid' movie. I mean that was a LOT of blood.
- Ron/Hermione kiss. PAY ATTENTION, HARRY/GINNY. THIS IS WHAT A REAL KISS LOOKS LIKE.
- Not my daughter, you bitch. Really, if there was one line they had to have word for word from the books, that was it.
- Voldemort's trollface after announcing Harry was dead. I actually lold.
- The action. All of the action scenes/magic duels were glorious.
- The callbacks to the first three movies, especially the ending with the chocolate frog on the train window.
- The shriveled creepyass Voldemort baby in the King's Cross sequence. Groxx.
- The trio's acting. As other's have mentioned Radcliffe has come a very long way, but Watson and Grint have been the most enjoyable for me to watch throughout the series and they maintained their scene-stealing in this movie.
- The amount of humour. I was surprised how many times I lold during this movie. It wasn't all dark all the time, and it made for a nice contrast.
- Narcissa and Lucius. They really showed, through only a few small scenes, that when it came to a choice between their son and the Dark Lord, they chose their son hands down. Added a really nice aspect to their characters that I was afraid the movies weren't going to portray.
- fucking lol @ Voldemort hugging Draco.
- Slughorn. He didn't even really do anything. but I love him and his stinkeye anyways and I'm glad he was just there. Same with all the other professors and students who had nothing more than bit roles.
- The Grey Lady.

- The Grey Lady.
- What was with the random Neville/Luna? Yes, there was a very small hint of it in book 6 at Dumbledore's funeral, but JKR herself said that no, they are not a couple, and I can't recall it being hinted at at all in any of the previous movies. It doesn't bug me, it was just really random.
- Okay, you know that line in King's Cross where Harry says something like "My mother's patronus was a doe, wasn't it? Curious, isn't it." And Dumbledore's all like "Well no, it's not really curious at all." Now logically I would assume this is supposed to refer to Snape loving Lily, but at that point in the movie we already knew that Snape loved Lily (ALWAYS), which would make Harry's observation incredibly derp. So my immediate reaction was that those two lines somehow suggested that Lily loved Snape back. And typing this out I realize that doesn't really make sense but YEAH that was the impression I got.
- While the H/Hr undertones are still definitely there I felt that for the first time since GoF the R/Hr tones actually won out.
- The epilogue made me lol. I didn't not like it, but the adult versions of H/Hr/R/G looked kinda ridiculous. Especially Ginny, who was just Ginny with a mom haircut.
- I'm not sure how I feel about Voldemort 'feeling' the loss of his Horcruxes. While it makes for good dramatic effect, why the fuck didn't he feel anything when they killed the locket in the first movie?
