Why hello there fellow bloggers :) I have had an intriguing few days. Today was our first drama rehearsal but that is the subject of another post. This this post is centered on Harry Potter and what I thought of it. If you haven't seen the movie, or read the book you may not want to read anything from here on in.
So on Saturday I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows with some of my very good friends.
SO GOOD! I very much enjoyed it. I thought it was funny and witty and kept very close to the book.
The beginning was good, I do wish they had done more of a goodbye scene with the Dursleys. The scene in the book is a redeeming moment for Dudley, his only redeeming moment. After he is a jerk for the entire series he has this one moment where he is actually nice for once. I think it was really good part of the book and it would not have taken long to have it in the movie.
The escape on broomsticks/Thestrals/motorbike was really cool. The multiple Harry's was super funny, and the battle scene was pretty cool.
I enjoyed the wedding and the ear humour with George was rather funny, the toothbrush in the ear was a little random but whatevs.
I kinda missed that they didn't have Harry's birthday, cause Ron never gave him the book about girls. It was a minor thing so I don't really mind it wasn't there.
When they ran off it was cool, the aparation was really well done. The fight in the coffee house was cool, I found the waitress sooooo funny.
I was somewhat disappointed with Grimould Place. The interaction with Kreacher just didn't do it for me. They are supposed to hear his story and have a bonding moment. And the story isn't just for Ron, Harry, and Hermione. The story is also for the reader. Kreacher's story is really supposed to hit the reader and show horrible wizards are to house elves. And it shows the reader that house elves do have human emotions and it's wrong how the wizards treat them. Basically Hermione was right all along.
The invasion of the ministry was also pretty sick. The voices coming from those bodies was weird but made it really cool. And Ron kissing that girl made me laugh so hard. And then they began to wander.
I do feel that the amount of time they spent wandering was rather quick, it did not feel like they were wandering for months. They tried to imply that they wandered around for a long time but it just didn't feel like it. When Ron ran off it was really realistic. The film makers made the audience see what Ron was seeing. Which made us feel for Ron, and understand why he ran off.
I also really enjoyed Godric's Hollow. However I do wish that they had shown the memorial and shown the sign post in front of his house. And the snake coming out of the woman was super creepy!!! I found it really cool.
And then we had Ron return which was pretty well done. The thing with the Locket was basically exactly like the book which was awesome.
Then they travelled to the Lovegoods. I enjoyed this scene. I thought the way the Three Brother's story was told was amazing. It reminded me of Tim Burton's work. The way Lovegoods house was destroyed was kinda weird though.
Then they were snatched by the snatchers. That was cool. And the leader guy was super creepo!
I also really loved Malfoy manner. When Hermione was tortured it kinda looked like Bellatrix was biting her arm which was odd, but when I realized she had carved 'mudblood' in her arm I thought that was brilliant. It shows just how cray-cray BBellatrix is and how little she thinks of other creatures.
The escape was interesting, when Dobby crashed the chandelier I cheered a little. Then when Bellatrix had the knife I began to cringe. I knew what was coming, so I honestly could hardly bring myself to watch. I cringed into my friend hiding from his death.
His death on the beach was so sad. He died in Harry's arms, and his last words "What a beautiful place. With friends." Almost made me cry. I wish they gave him the tombstone though. I think that would have been a really good second to last scene. The shot of Harry, Ron, and Hermione on the beach, then a shot of Dobby's tombstone, then the scene of Voldy.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed the entire movie, and I am very glad that I saw it with my awesome friends.
I loved the movie and can't wait for the next one :)
