ETA: I think I also felt a certain amount of distance from the first because I knew it was going to end as a cliffhanger, and it was only a first of two situation.

I don't know how to explain it. I cried in all the right places but hey I cried at those exact spots in the book so I expected it. But, I just couldn't connect to this movie, I don't know why. I went into it figuring, it would be very emotional, especially b/c it was the end and I was in Edinburgh just 3 weeks ago (lot's of Harry Potter stuff up there).
I liked the movie and it was very well done but, I just didn't have the emotional connection to the movie that I expected. I walked out of Part 1 totally blown away, and on an emotional high. I walked out of Part 2, not really feeling much of anything.
