Could not agree more.... some things I truly liked.... some I shuddered at the lack of.....
I loved the sly little visual giving the young actor who played Riddle as a teen hair that reminded me of a young Hitler - thought that was a clever bit - intentional or othewise....
The scene in the hallway when Harry over hears Snape confronting Draco - the camera cut at the exact moment just as Snape swooped in on Draco, robes in a perfect billow.... brilliant little edit.
I am GOD AWFUL PISSED off that the pivotal line "Don't call me coward" was eliminated !!! The whole scene felt like a throwaway to me - except of course for the disarming of Harry - that was well done.
Narcissa was not as I pictured her - and the scene did not have quite the same intensity for me as I'd expected. In the book, the image of Snape and Narcissa kneeling was such a powerful one - standing to receive the Vow was not as powerful to me... but the expression and intonation that Rickman gave were of course superb. The man is an artist....
Dissapointed in the "Sectumsempra" scene as well - they had it down and then Harry waltzes out the door with no ensuing scene with Snape - aain a pivotal line "Who would have imagined, Potter, that you knew such Dark magic." Important stuff folks - why was it left out ??
Oh well, I rant too long - I did love the visuals - beautifully done, and the lake was exceptionally well done.
