1. Wow, it was in the IMAX. I never saw a movie there before but it was way cool. And comfortable seats! Surprisingly enough the crowd was quiet.
2. That's not Lupin. I was trying to remain open because I really believe the actor might be able to pull it off but it just wasn't him.
3. I had too high hopes.
4. There are so many things missing in the movie. A lot doesn't get explained and if you haven't read the book I think it would be really confusing.
5. Alan Rickman remains a genius. He *is* Snape.
6. This new Dumbledore lacks authority. He's a very grey figure and just isn't able to convince me.
7. Emma Thompson was great.
8. The dementors were very scary. It wasn't quite how I imagined them but dude, they were really creepy.
9. The werewolf was a bit disappointing. As was the partonus spell.
10. The actors are too old. I don't know how they're going to manage the next movie as they've already outgrown their parts.
11. I'm a Ron/Hermione shipper but there definitely is something about Harry/Hermione in this movie. I guess the actors just have a nice chemistry.
12. Petter Pettigrew was great. I imagined him more bald for some reason but this worked.
13. The Marauders Map was really cool.

Conclusion: My expectations were too high. I should have known it and been a lot more skeptical as I would have been alright then. There were just a lot of things missing or they were just slightly off.
