If she had given it to the goblins, she would no longer have a wand, and therefore, no way to protect herself. <br /><br />I thought the Harry/Voldy battle was cheesy and anti-climatic. Why did no one witness it? Can you imagine the conversation afterwards: Harry walks into the Great Hall. "Hey, you can all quit fighting now. I just killed Voldemort! Yeah, I know we /thought/ I killed him 20 years ago and he came back, but this time, I /swear/ he's really dead. Well, no, no one else saw him. And no, I can't show you his body, because he kind of broke into tiny pieces and floated away, but I swear, he's really dead this time..." <br /><br />It kind of ruined the movie for me. However, if I pretend that part was better, then I enjoyed the movie and I agreed with most of your review.<br /><br />I really liked the epilogue too and thought Dan Rad was a smoking hot 37 year old :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514984336753021661.post-33181070692847438852011-07-28T01:57:50.623+01:002011-07-28T01:57:50.623+01:00Hey there,great review!Very thorough and to the po...Hey there,great review!Very thorough and to the point.I agreed in most parts with you.I was totally amazed by the film and yes,it is one of my personal favourites,too!Great adaptation and i liked most of the different scenes although i would have wanted much more background because a friend of mine who watched it with me and hadn't read the books was quite puzzled at some points.Anyway,i just wanted to point out the two things that i didn't like at all.Firstly,after Voldemort's death the fact that we don't see anything like the scene in the book where everyone is screaming with happiness and hugging ang kissing Harry..maybe they wanted to show the pain for the loss of the beloved ones more,i don't know..Secondly,i'm sorry but "19 years later",so they're supposed to be 36 years old,right??I mean,NO WAY!I haven't seen the original pictures,but apart from older Draco who was quite successful to me,all the others seemed max 25 y.old!Especially with Hermione,her older daughter was like her younger sister!I just think that the make-up artist could have done a lot better without making them look like grandparents..Anyway,loved it as a whole but sad it's over..Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01117351548326794081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514984336753021661.post-20081747171871121592011-07-22T17:43:31.989+01:002011-07-22T17:43:31.989+01:00To anonymous who commented on the lack of Goyle in...To anonymous who commented on the lack of Goyle in the movie: I knew the reason behind excluding him from the film, I was merely making a joke about Malfoy changing side kicks at this late date. Thanks for your comment though :)<br /><br />To anonymous who commented on the Gringotts scene: Again, I realize why they did this in the film, but in the book they still present Bellatrix's wand despite the risk of exposing themselves, and the scene in Gringotts doesn't really cover the matter properly, leaving it as a confusing scene. I've amended the article to include an edit about my reasoning behind the gripe. Thanks for your comment though. :)Rosyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460676250901770530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514984336753021661.post-3571375618219929822011-07-22T16:46:36.612+01:002011-07-22T16:46:36.612+01:00Crabbe wasn't included in this movie because t...Crabbe wasn't included in this movie because the actor, Jaime Waylett, was arrested regarding a marijuana charge.

Griphook had just warned the group that he could tell the Gringotts staff knew something was up. They were working on the assumption Bellatrix had told the bank her wand had been stolen and someone might try to access her vault.
