Fred ,'A Hole in the World'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Here's how I take the Neville part - he was helping Neville to fulfill the prophecy. Without killing Nagini, killing Voldemort would have been a lot more difficult and not permanent, so with Neville killing Nagini, Neville essentially fulfills the prophecy 90% and then Harry finishes the final 10%.
It involves a lot of handwavium and also remembering that Harry's big talent is inadvertently putting people in danger by NOT asking for help or by NOT telling the whole story. Hello Sirius' death.
I seriously was ready to take a rock and beat the Trio senseless when they were in the woods. And then perhaps take out JKR.
I can't imagine how it is going to be in the movie-- although maybe they will cut back and forth between Horcrux hunting, and Neville, Luna, and Ginny holding down the fort, so to speak.

I'm pretty sure they'll cut that section way down and focus on the tension brewing with Ron.
There are a couple I haven't seen, I think.

They do have two movies to fill.
I've read the first four HP books and enjoyed them, but my patience with Harry was starting to wear thin by then. I saw the first movie and thought it was a typical not-quite-satisfying book-to-movie convert. I have the rest of the books, but haven't felt any inclination to read them. Perhaps it's because they're becoming teenagers and I expect to be supremely annoyed by them all.
I saw Get Him to the Greek last night. Funnier than I expected, but not as well-crafted as Forgetting Sarah Marshall. I must say, my rational mind wants to dislike Russell Brand, but I am totally charmed by him, even when he's playing a horrible person.
I want to dislike him too, but I've seen him on some British panel shows, and he can be really funny.

They've actually got too much story as it is.
Major set pieces alone include:
Attack on the Fleur/Bill wedding
Invading the Ministry
Visit to Godrick's Hollow gone horribly wrong
Escape from Lovegood house
Escape from Malfoy Manor
Stealing from Gringotts
Battle for Hogwarts
Climactic Duel
That doesn't even include other must-have scenes like King's Cross, Ron's return, Snape flashback, walk to the Forest, Abeforth, Shell Cottage, Grimmauld Place etc.
I really liked Brand in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. In fact, that whole movie was way more enjoyable than I expected.
