I will go further and say I wanted to DIE during the first movie, which I thought was interminably long. I really liked Prisoner of Azkaban the best (if I am thinking of the right one)-- I thought everyone looked so beautiful!
I wanna hurt you, but I can't resist the sinister attraction of your cold and muscular body!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I watch the movies with my DH, who hasn't read the books at all, and that does give me the urge to tell him all the things that were different. It doesn't bother me while I'm watching, though, as long as the things that are cut or changed aren't the particularly vivid things that I remember from the books.
I just assumed that Epilogue!Ron's "I'm extremely famous" was a joke playing off either Hermione's fame for some sort of great witchery or Harry.

Me too, though I assume all three got a fair amount of fame for their role in overthrowing Voldemort.

how does all that shared blood shit fit in, is that what gives you the power of pulling loopholes out of your ass?
Totally onto something, there.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I assumed everyone was staring at Harry and Ron was joking (and/or hiding it from the kids).

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I thought the worst two films of the HP series have been the first two, which were almost slavishly duplicated from the books.
esp chamber of secrets. I got very tired of it - it felt sort of like 2 movies

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
how does all that shared blood shit fit in
It's Summer's blood.
Just rereading the end, there is some bit about how if you ask the Room of Requirement to be unbreachable or undfindable then it will. So I think they've got their loophole for Umbridge breaking in.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Poor Snape -- all that time as an undercover good guy, and he dies unredeemed at the hand of Voldemort's pet snake???
FWIW, Harry does clear Snape in front of all assembled in his showdown with Voldie. Also, Harry says to his son that he was named after two headmasters, which means that Snape's portrait will join the other Headmaster portraits.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I just assumed that Epilogue!Ron's "I'm extremely famous" was a joke playing off either Hermione's fame for some sort of great witchery or Harry.
Which brought up an interesting point, for me: Harry's kids don't know how famous their dad is, or why?
That's gonna make things awkward at Hogwart's.
"Dude. You're Albus Potter!"
"Er, yeah. Why are you goggling at me?"
"You're Harry Potter's kid!"
"Yeah. So?"
"Dude, your dad saved the world?"
"He--What?! No, he didn't! He's a dork, look at him. He's got stupid glasses and his hair always looks like crap...he collects owls for God's sake, there's always shit all over his study...My dad couldn't save the toilet from overflowing, let alone the world! He's...he's a dork!"
