Harry Potter (Spoiler Alert)

I have a whole in my heart right now. I watched the last Harry Potter movie tonight. I was watching it and was ok with how they changed things from the book. I understand they need make changes to make it flow better and for the lack of time. I've watched the first 7 movies and I could over look the difference and really enjoy the movies. However, the ending of the movie really, really disappointed me. I have read the books a few times in my day. And I really loved how the the 7th book ended.  In the movie, I feel that the deaths weren't sad enough. I was tearing up before the movie thinking about these deaths and thought I would ball in the movie, a tear is all that happened. Seeing Tonks and Lupin almost holding hands was sad, but I didn't really notice Fred died. Also they make Molly seem like a dumpy housewife. But she wasn't she could fight as hard as the rest and I was so looking forward to her big fight and I was "haha" at her line and then "ok, well then." But the main reason I have a whole in my heart is the fight scene with Harry and Voldemort. Well pretty much everything from after the death scene on, I have issues with.

Ok, now Harry sees the best in people and never wants to harm seriously or kill someone. He is told that his signature spell is a disarming spell. If at all possible he would use this spell. He is made fun of for using this spell more than once. And yet he defends it and refuses to go against what he feels is right. Now when Harry and Voldemort have their final show down, they don't fight they talk. (And I guess that would be too boring for a film) which I really enjoyed. Harry taunts Voldemort. He calls him Tom and he even tries to save him. He tries to change his fate. He has hope for a horrible man. And when they finally fight, Voldemort goes for the killing curse and what does the hero choose to do at this moment, he picks the disarming spell. And Voldemort's curse rebounds and hits himself. Leaving Harry with a clean slate, he has never intentionally killed anyone. I feel that was not shown at all in the movie and I loved it. So it left me sad. Now I will say that I really really enjoy the death scene where Harry talks to Dumbledore. I felt that is was right on the money and I wished the rest of the movie made me feel the way this one scene did.
