The book begins with the Death Eaters meeting at the Malfoy Manor.
I don't want to completely spoil it for anyone who hasn't read the book, so I'm just gonna say that I loved reading about Snape's story. :)
I can't remember if this scene happened in the book. I know that Harry didn't let Hedwig out of her cage, and well, something else happened to her.
The Seven Potters
I love it! I love how Daniel Radcliffe got each characters' expressions right. Especially the girl Harry Potters. :)
And, off they go:
That's the same bike Hagrid used in the first movie when he brought baby Harry to Privet Drive! He just added the sidecar to fit grown up Harry. ;)
They get into an intense fight scene with the Death Eaters - which resulted in quite a few casualties.
They finally make it to The Burrow.
Once things calmed down, everyone started preparing for two occasions: Harry's 17th birthday and Bill and Fleur's wedding.
Ginny's birthday gift? A kiss.
During Harry's birthday celebration, Rufus Scrimgeour, new Minister of Magic, comes to give Harry, Ron, and Hermione their "inheritance" from Professor Dumbledore.

Not sure what scene this is from, but I think that's The Burrow behind Ron.
During Bill and Fleur's wedding, a Patronus from Kingsley Shacklebolt warns them that the enemies are coming.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione make their escape.
They end up in 13 Grimmauld Place.
Everything Sirius owned is now Harry's - including Kreacher, the house elf.
The three device a plan to get inside the Ministry of Magic.
They were caught, of course, but they got away.
They continue to travel all over Britain, stopping for a few days, trying to look for the Horcruxes.
Harry and Hermione - talking about the significance of the book, perhaps?
As time went on, tension rises between them - especially between Ron and Harry.
Ron ends up leaving Harry and Hermione. Of course, he comes back, we all know that. But for those of you who haven't read the book, the way he comes back is sooooo goood!
Harry and Hermione decide to go to Godric's Hollow - where the Potters used to live.
James and Lily Potter's grave
They are then called over by someone who looked like Bathilda Bagshot. Another Harry-Voldemort scene happens.
Dobby comes back to save them from Bellatrix, the Malfoys, and other Death Eaters.
Next stop: Bill and Fleur's house - Shell Cottage
A lot of things happen that will then lead to their finding other Horcruxes, going back to Hogwarts, and finally facing Voldemort - and death.
Here are some more photos:
Harry looking at a broken piece of the two-way mirror Sirius gave him. He keeps thinking he sees Dumbledore's blue eyes.
Voldemort taking the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's grave.
*sigh* I'm really gonna miss Harry Potter! But at the same time, I am also very very excited to see the last two movies! *sigh*
Judging from the trailer and from these photos, I think they will include pretty much everything from the book into the movie.
What do you think? Are you as excited as I am to see the movie? :D
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone! :)
