Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Back to the Wizarding World

Oh!! I much I miss'd the Wizarding world. It felt really good to be back there, seeing them. Let me tell you upfront that this post might contain some spoiler alerts. So watch out :)

In spite of my severe sinus problems, less than required sleep hours, tight work schedule and travelling weekends (I know I haven't updated it yet in the blog, but trust me, I didn't stop travelling :) ) I managed to go to this movie with some of  my other team mates (I should rather call them kids..they are recent pass outs). It was heavily raining but did that deter us.. oh boy, No.. It added more effect to the grey shade.. It was as if the Dementors were trying their part hard on us, in the Muggle world.. But it doesn't affect the witches and wizards like us ..do they ;) We know our spells well enough to protect ourselves.

So eventually we made it to the theater to see the Huge queue out there for the 7.25 pm show. I didnt go there with much expectations. I always didnt appreciate the movies (except the first three) as they somehow didnt capture the essence of the book..But this movie was good..better than the fourth and even fifth one, I would say. There were places where the screenplay was a little draggy. But you have your moments of laughter and humor and screaming too..

All kids have grown so much !!! Some how Luna Lovegood seems to be the same.. Hermione and Ron were awesome I would say. The scenes in the Godric's Hollow were too good... One girl near to us screamed so loud that we were more shocked by her than the Snake :) To watch Dear Dobby die was very sad...Harry was good as usual. But I missed Malfoy.... I always felt he was one actor who had enough potential. Because to play a person with a grey shade and more confused intentions at his age was more tougher and Malfoy did an amazing job.... He has good future in movies...

Visually also, the movie is good...and much better than its predecessor. The story of Deathly Hallows were done very neatly... through Animation rather than wasting more screen time with Actors. I am not sure how much the non-Harry Potter readers will understand what is happening. But they have managed to capture all the details and you have to be very attentive to understand it.

All said and done, Go Watch it... worth the watch.. You wouldn't even need this statement from me if you are a Harry Potter fan...
