I thought the movie was fantastic! It had amazing cast performances all around. I thought McGonagall in particular had some really good scenes. My theatre cheered so much when she enchanted all the suits of armor to fight for Hogwarts and she says, "I've always wanted to do use that spell!" I also loved her duel with Snape.
I've never been much of a Snape fan, I do think he's a great character--but Sirius Black is my favorite character so you can see how it clashes there. But Alan Rickman gave one hell of a performance in his death scene and all the flashbacks. Very emotional, powerful and well done. Might well be the best part of the movie. It was so intense, when Harry came out of the pensive my theatre was dead silent. Then someone sighed and cracked open a pop can, breaking the silence and creating mass hysteria during a very moving scene...I had to giggle ;)
I have to applaud Neville and Luna as well. And I'm so glad they kept the resurrection stone scene like it was in the book. It was my fave part in all the books. And I thought the epilogue played better onscreen than in the books, oddly. Overall, I loved DH Part 2 and would give it a 9.5/10 :D
