yep. :)

yep. :)

reviews have been mixed. I haven't read the book in a long time, so I don't remember a lot of the little details. that may help me enjoy it more.

 

I'm seeing it Saturday :D

oh it is too late!! :D

how are you btw :)

I want to see it now, but I have to wait :disappointed:

how are you btw :)

I'm okay, really excited for this movie. but good overall. you?

i am fine. :)

So you going to see the movie again in theaters?

probably =)

I might see it twice if I like it enough. :)

saw it.

 

So it didn't absolutely blow me away, in fact there are some parts that would've seriously annoyed if I was still the canonist I was five years ago. But in the same breath, it did achieve a level of quality and enjoyment that the last two films seriously lacked.

 

For the most part it maintains the integrity of the book, albeit while presenting a strongly different interpretation of the characters and events. What they basically did was take the main plot and develop it further, allowing for more colorful characters and fresh, original dialogue. This is where the movie ultimately triumphs, in that Radcliffe, Watson and Grint are given much more freedom to flourish and share the spotlight.

In OOTP Emma and Rupert basically stood around and looked serious throughout. It was tough to compliment their portrayals because there was virtually nothing to work with. The film focused so much on the isolation that Harry endured that, consequently, intimacy suffered and the audience became much more isolated from the characters, only watching their predictable reactions.

 

HBP is a sharp turnaround, though, because the trio were each given their own individual doses of comedy and tragedy to truly shine. In fact its the comedy that stands out most in this movie, for Ron under the love potion, and Harry under Felix Felicis are absolutely hysterical and priceless! Harry especially appears more like Dan fooling around on set, stretching outside the parameters of 'typical' Harry Potter movie dialogue. Acting in general... from Lavender to Slughorn to Malfoy (Felton does amazingly in this movie!) is really sharp and far from disapointing.

 

On the negative side, the fight at the burrow is completely and utterly superflous, and worse doesn't fit into the rest of the movie. It serves no purpose other than a quick flash of action. What irks me the most is that we were told the end battle was scrapped in order to avoid repetition

you see, after dumbledore is killed Harry is the only one chasing after the death eaters, so there's little or no conflict...

. I can't help thinking that it was the action from the completely made-up burrow scene that made Yates decide to omit the actual action from the book at the end.

 

While most of the really big scenes like the cave, and the sectusempra fight are dramatized, they aren't too over the top, but are in fact very beautiful and powerful. I have some reservations about the tower scene which I think could've been much more emotional and dramatic if it stayed closer to the book, but by no means is it butchered or ruined like we feared.

 

Other minor complaints include the fact they didn't explain Dumbledore's hand, and Harry isn't petrified at the end which would've been loads better..

 

Overall, I think its the most enjoyable movie so far, with a lot more laughs and better characters, but its not perfect by a longshot. 7.8/10?

^^wow, you totally summed it up for me! i couldn't have said it any better! especially agree on the superb comedic acting by the trio and especially for Tom Felton, who blew me away in this film :D

i just saw the new harry potter movie last night :)

twas amazing

I'm going this Saturday to see it

I couldn't have said it better, Chris! I agree with absolutely everything you said. The humor in it was awesome, especially when both Ron and Harry were pretty much on durgs. :lol: I couldn't stop cracking up during the whole Felix part!

 

And Tom Felton's acting was absolutely brilliant!

 

Seeing it at midnight was awesome too, although we had to sit on the floor because there were absolutely no seats left, even though we got there an hour early. And the audience was amazing, everyone there was dressed up in something ridiculous and was extremely hilarious. :P

 

Overall, I'd give it an 8/10. And I definitely want to see it again, it's without a doubt one of the best films yet.

:dance:

Maaaan, Felton was a highlight. Going from OotP where he literally was in it for...what, two scenes? To this...He was perfect...made me feel so sad for Draco.

 

Also liked the actor who played teenage Tom Riddle. Creepy. :)

 

And I agree with you, Chris. I felt Radcliffe, Grint, and Watson had a lot more space and development in this one. Never been a fan of Watson, tbh, but I loved her in this...adorable!

It arrives here today, or tomorrow
