ladysophiekittyThis was something I felt when reading the book and briefly last night, but a discussion somewhere reminded me of this again.
I've always hated the fact that it was Molly Weasley who killed Bellatrix. Now, at best I feel pretty meh about Molly (and there are moments where I don't like her at all), but that wasn't why I was not that impressed with "Not my daughter, you bitch!"
I think Neville should have been the one to do it. Other than the fact that Bella was a death eater and momentarily trying to kill Ginny, Mrs. Weasley didn't have much personal history with Bella (that I recall). On the other hand, Bella tortured Neville's parents to the point of insanity and as I recall of the fifth book, taunted him quite a bit in the Department of Mysteries. They had history, and I would have LOVED to see a confrontation between him and Bella. True, Neville got to do some awesome shit, but that would have been even better.
If I were to order the movies in order of my favorites: DH part 1, DH part 2, Prisoner of Azkaban, Chamber of Secrets, Sorcerer's Stone, Half-Blood Prince, Order of the Phoenix.
Compared to the books: 3 and 4 are tied as my favorites, 2, 5, 1, 6, 7
One of these days I'll get a Luna icon, maybe even a Neville icon. Also, I forgot how much I love this icon since I stopped having it as my default, but it's gotten a lot of use these past few days. I have 8 Harry/Hermione icons and 14 HP icons and yet this is the one I always use.
