I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I think they're both kind of shitty.

Yes, because that's stuff that anyone would know by now. And it's not the denoument of a series. Plus, it's kind of funny, all of the reveals.

Is it any meaner than this shirt?
My housemate just bought that recently. I wonder if he wore it at Comic-Con.

Finally finished the BOOK. Not much to add. I liked it. I too wanted more from the epilogue than I got (and it does read like something that's been sitting in a drawer for years). Found the middle a little sloggy, but nowhere near as bad as OotP. The ending needs to be done just right for the movie, but if it is, it's gonna rock.
I am concerned by how much they've edited down Snape in the movies (haven't seen OotP yet, so I don't know how much the worst day is cut down), especially in PoA where I think we needed to know what went down at the Screaming (?) Shack back in the day.

Not *too* bad. But I can't remember if you see Snape calling Lily "mudblood". I'll remember on Friday when I see it. Again. For the third time.

I still do not understand why they didn't explain about the Marauders. It would have taken ten seconds. Instead, movie Harry apparently has no idea his dad was Prongs, yet he refers to Sirius as Padfoot in the OOTP movie.
But I can't remember if you see Snape calling Lily "mudblood".
Pretty sure you don't. I barely remember Lily at all in the vision. It was all about James using Levicorpus on Snape and laughing.

Snape's worst day is cut way down, and you don't hear him calling her a mudblood.

they may have not thought that it was important when they were writing the script, because until DH, it wasn't.
