I did kinda miss the big fight at the end, however I understood why they didn't do it. After the climax of Dumbldore's death, it needed to follow Harry and his reaction and feelings, otherwise it would have felt like they were trying to reach another crescendo. That wouldn't have worked in the movie like it did in the book. All in all, I really enjoyed the movie. I look forward to seeing it again as I'm always less critical the second time.
Also, I totally wore my Wizard Pride shirt to the midnight showing. It was a hit!

So, I guess we're not heading up from Jersey after all, since I totally missed the pre-registration thing and now they won't let us in. >:-O

My husband and I are driving up from Jersey :-D

Joss was at the NYCC for a Dollhouse panel and a signing. I seriously considered leaving my apartment at 5 am to catch the earliest train to get a shot at a signing ticket, which I'm glad I didn't do. When we did get to the con I overheard that people were in line at 4:30 am. So instead I sat on line for 2 1/2 hours for the panel. At least I got to see him, if not meet him.
