Richard, were you around for our explanations of the disentigrating?
Bellatrix disentigrates cause one spell dehydrates her body, then the next collides with her and she shatters. Nagini disentigrates cause she is a Horcrux like Memory!Riddle sorta was, and he disentigrated. Voldemort disentigrates cause he has no soul.
That's why I always like to see it more than once. The first time, my excitement is way too high, I don't feel like I really take it all in. An extra viewing or two helps with that. At least for me.
I'm definetely excited, but I'm remaining a bit cautious. I was super excited for DH1, and it ultimately disappointed me. My 2nd and 3rd viewings changed my mind (it's now my 2nd favorite, behind Azkaban), but I want my first time watching DH2 to be amazing and satisfying. And I'm actually not looking forward to the battle as much as I am Snape's death, the Prince's tale, Bella's death, and King's Cross. If those scenes are shorter than we expected, that's why we should be disappointed.
Too many awkward moments. The dialogue just wasn't right. A character would say something, but instead of the other characters responding, they would just stand there and stare blankly. We got some of this in the last couple movies, but it was especially jarring to me here.

What's just pissing me off so much is people aren't really complaining about changes from the book. They are complaining about changes they heard about that aren't going to be kept. This is just useless complaining IMO.
Hagrid was mentioned fighting for about one sentence or two in the book, throwing someone. I'd rather procession with him be the best than any fighting with him IMO.
And I AM NOT understanding this lack of character based battle. We see our characters, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, throughout the entire thing. The book battle was not character based, it was Harry based, simply because it followed his POV throughout the entire thing. Look at these added character moments we're getting: Twins before the battle, Neville's added bridge scene, teachers being bosses, following R/Hr into the chamber. Believe me, the movie will be more character based than the book. It's not the book's fault and I'm not saying I dislike the book (hell, it's easily my favorite) but it follows HARRY'S POV and not others, something the film is doing differently. The argument that it's not as character based as the book, to me, makes no sense.
And disintegration is an opinion thing that we all have to wait to see to judge. Same with the logo, no biggy if you dislike that.
I think the book does give the characters all a moment. That isn't why it bothers me so much that the kids don't get to fight. The reason it bothers me is that i feel that is where the series, the movie series, has been leading. We get to see the kids create this army. We see that they have continued it and then they don't show them fight? It seems like a bit of a let down. I mean i have gotten used to the idea because we have known for awhile that no one is really going to be shown fighting except the trio, but i still wish that we did.
And since you mentioned the book. In the book we did see all of the kids throw a spell or two. They all had a nice moment. The dueling in the great hall at the end. The patronus. Like i said that isn't why i dislike the loss in the films. I dislike it because that is where the story was leading in my opinion.

Well in the book, it was also background information. So if we see them duel in the background, same thing?
Neville has his character moments easily, if we don't see Fred and George fight we have their little rooftop scene, idk about Ginny, Hermione and Ron are obviously the main part w/ Harry so they're good, so I think worrying about it might bring the bar down.
For me, the battle was always the background story. It was always about Harry/Ron/Hermione making their final stand, and mostly following Harry. The battle in the book, as I've just re-read it, seems very much so second to Harry's story. I feel like complaining about these little things that lest seconds take away from the grand scale of it all, it doesn't really bother me and so I don't complain.
Just different views between us I guess. I totally respect your opinion though, I just from my own view don't see any reason to be worried or disappointed.
my fault is instead of random hogsmeade people we could see people we know dueling
i know abeforth helps out but besides that...its all extras
they could show the weasleys, luna, dean seamus slughorn
I understand where you're getting at and totally understand. But just think of it on the large scale. In my opinion, you are very 'zoomed in' on the film. Just think of the entire thing as a whole, and for me, problems like these mean absolutely nothing. Would it be nice? Of course it would. Does it take away from the film/make it bad? No way, at least, not in my opinion.
Still, I haven't seen it and can't form a true opinion, but I just feel like everybody is overdoing their disappointed feelings.
ok i have one tiny thing that bugs me. voldermnort dosent die by his curse backfiring on him. according to black harry and voldy stop dueling neville kills the snake and voldy falls over dead.
