Lovely post - I will just say yes yes yes.
Except I amazed myself by not crying AT ALL! I welled up at a couple of points, especially at Ghost!Lupin and Albus Severus, but no proper crying. This is amazing for me because I always always cry at every opportunity. There was lots of gasping though - 'The ministry has fallen' :O

PS On my second viewing of OoTP I made sure I paid much attention to the doorway-lean-o-sex :D
