So I have read the book. Now, I have watched the movie. My feeling? I want the whole series to be over soon. The reason? Come on, the actors and actresses are all grown up. I think that they should be well on their way to act in different genre.
After so many years of Harry Potter, I guess I need to have a different type of addiction. Perhaps to Twilight, although I do like Twilight books for the moment (why for the moment? because I don’t fancy the movie but will be waiting for the second movie, in case it is going to change my mind).
As I have said many times, I love books more than the movies (when movies are based on books).
Lord of The Ring is one movie saga that I didn’t read the books at all (but I might find the time to actually read it now that I have watched the movies and the movies are way back years ago).
What do I think about HBP?
Overall, it is quite good. The only thing is that it reminded me of Gandalf scene “you shall not pass”, something like that. To be honest, I find that movies like Harry Potter and Narnia borrowed scenes from LOTR although this is just my opinion. You should refer to Narnia (2nd movie) where there is a scene at the end with the river flowing down to drown the bad guys.
I love for the fact that the romance between Harry and Ginny is not over-reacting. It is simply clean and very romantic. I also like it when Hermione was jealous of Ron for dating someone else.
Let us not forget about Draco, joining the dark side. Snape killing Dumbledore. (I know Dumbledore knew he had to die – I still feel rather sad). There are other details such as the death of Aragog, but I like the scene when Hermione, Ron and Harry are in the bar having Butterbeer. Gotta look at Ron’s face when he saw Ginny kissing.
The whole movie is long enough to cover as much details as possible.
As for the last book, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, I cannot imagine how they are going to make the movie into 2 parts. However, I would be happy to wait for the movies to be out. I just wish they could release both together although it is very unlikely. So, the year 2011 would be the end for Harry Potter saga. By that time, I would 24. Way too old for magic tricks – I guess. Maybe not.
hmm I’m curious about the last movie too. I understand that they want the perfect movie, fidel to the book, but it will be strange to watch it in 2 parts.
Still the second film promises to deliver more action that ll keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the film..Personally I hope they cut out a lot of the dialogue they unnecessarily added in last time the film should be an accurate representation of the book but not paraphrase the majority of the dialogue from the book itself. Upon re-reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I found that there was a lot more they could ve added into the first film that they re likely reserving for the second film. Regardless the team needs to cut out the talking and do more to keep the viewer entertained..Although my views of the first film may seem negative I can virtually guarantee that Part 2 will be the summer s hottest blockbuster and a must-see film.
