On Saturday, saw the final episode of the Harry Potter. There was no high expectations from this movie, atleast from my side. But again, for me, watching a Harry Potter movie is more like being with your family and friends on a outing. And this was no different. I have watched them grow from kids to young people now. Its sort of sad to not see them anymore in this series. I felt like giving them all a big bear hug at the end. This must have been the most emotional movie of the whole series....it shud be isnt..It is never easy when a relationship ends. If it ends on a bitter note, you might not miss it. But if not, then you sure do feel the pinch, even if you are hard hearted.
Well, now to the movie. There have been a few changes from the book and as everyone had said, this is a extended climax of the part 1. It was ok. Not a great one, even though there were a few nice moments. It was very ... what to say.. touchy when Snape died. And honestly I believed that the way Voldermort died was portrayed better than the book. In the book, I felt that it ended too soon. Of course if you havent seen the part 1, this movie would make no sense to you, but again that depends on each person. Professor Mcgonagall was very cute in a few places. Hagrid had very less to do. Lupin & Tonks died uneventfully. Poor Fred was gone in a second. Ginny was totally wasted. These are some of the complaints.
But otherwise, the role of Nevile was done well. Lot of details which would add more value were said in a line (good screenplay..but I prefer the lengthier version in this case)
I know that I have always complained that the HP movies have never been in par with the book, but I was no fan of the last book either. But I should say that part 1 was very surprising for me with respect to the visual representations. And part 2 was not so disappointing even though I mentioned so many complaints. It was funny to watch these kids in the epilogue. Ron had a tummy even :D Make up was very good. One other actor whom I liked was Draco. Growing up suits him. He was very convincing. Harry too.
My friend was mentioning how all good Brit actors have been with this franchise for so long...That is really a good sign. It was good to see all of them in all these movies. Acting wise, among the kids, I would say Harry, Draco, Nevile, Hermione, Ron will come a long way. Especially Draco. I read today that he stars in "The Rise of the Planet of the Apes". That is really good. He will make quite a bad guy :D and he is good looking too for his age.
Finally, the HP series got over in the movies too. Oh! one thing I forgot to mention. I hate to see these movies in 3D ,that too with that heavy glass they gave in PVR. I had to constantly hold it so that it doesnt hurt my nose. I would have loved to watch it in 2 D.... the way people make money out of loyalty.. its disgusting.
I miss you all my Wizards and Witches. But we will all be friends forever.... Ciao.
