I saw it today!

It was so excellent.

And Alan Rickman really proved how great of an actor he is. In all the other movies, he's pretty much just been "grr, sternface" but in this one he actually got to do a whole lot more. The transition of Snape from villain to sympathetic character was instantaneous, thanks to his skills.

Overall, the movie was a fitting close to a great part of my childhood. I still have the books and the DVDs and the writing/reading influence that Harry Potter left on me, but everything being over is very bittersweet.
