HP7 - DH1:
I enjoyed the movie. It was a welcome break. Yeah, daniel radcliffee was a disappointment (looked like an overgrown house-elf!) ...but the fact that he is "the choosen one" remains...
While i was reading the last book i imagined him doing all the things , so i guess i just can see anybody else in that role..
Emma Watson as usual did an excellent job. She never disappoints.
Personally i liked rupert grint. After the second film ( esp the Aragog scene, the whomping willow scene etc.,:-) ), i liked him in this one. He was good -when he storms out of the tent- but i wish he kept that up throught the film!
Bellatrix was another whose 2-3 min performance i liked!
Some scenes, like the one where Harry visits Godric Hollow and meets Bathilda, the story of the three brothers.. were great! There were others which could have been better - like the minister of magic's speech at the very beginning(was he trying to imitate Amitabh Bachchan by any chance?!!), the one where they find out who RAB is..
I liked the fact that the director gave importance to intricate details while making the film. The magical fountain in the M Of Magic, The locket, Snape's patronus, fed and george's "hole"y joke, etc.,
All said and done i wished there was more to the film!
I guess living up to the expectations of Harry Potter's passionate readers and fans is a very difficult job! :-) We are never completely satisfied!! :D

HP7 - DH2:
I personally didn't like it a lot...i think the director put a lot of his thoughts into it...wasn't authentic.
Why the hell did harry jump out of hagrid's arms and RUN?? Not very heroic.... i was waiting for this scene expecting it to be great!! he blew it!
What was Neville doing on the bridge alone (atleast 50 feet away from the others) when an army (headed by snatchers interestingly, not death eaters) marches towards him!?!
Ollivander and harry - wasn't the conversation a little too casual?
Why does voldemort have to tie harry up using his robes??
ron, harry and hermoine - try to kill nagini with a basilisk fang - ohhkaay!
The diadem was in a box?? So harry found it because he could 'hear' it...
Snape, griphook and voldemort were really good! Harry and dumbledore did justice to their parts...hermoine and ron - the much hyped kiss didnt work out at all! apart from that their usual good performances nothing extra-praise-worthy...
Neville was ok....
Seamus finnigan and mcgonagall were very entertaining in their 1 min performances...
The gringotts scene and voldemort-harry encounters were good...
The background score could have been loads better...didnt feel my hair standing on an end (expected it to happen half the time)....

Attribute most of the negative attitude towards the flick to -
1. Not being able to watch it in a hall (forget the huge screen, my laptop is 20" wide), let alone watching the premier show!
2. Watching a lousy print instead of a 3D spectacle
3. Being distracted more than twice in between!!
