harry potter lovin



just came back from seein harry potter and the deathly hallows (part 1)!!

i'm a hardcore fan since the beginning, more a fan of the books than the movies.  the movies are just something fun for me to watch and see how they adapted the book.

i'm usually one of THOSE people who love going to the midnight showings (never did dress up though) but this time being with child i'm learning that the baby doesn't really let me do a lot of the things i used to do before and it controls my sleep schedule now.  that's pretty much how parenthood's gonna be huh?

anywho, the movie was really good i thought and i won't give anything away telling you about it.  but this penultimate segment of the series was more of an explanation than a lot of action.  i dragged brett with me and we also had steve and gwen along with us.  they all haven't read the book and i could tell with them that the movie seemed a bit slow.  def reading the book has helped, knowing it's gonna be action packed and in your face in the next segment, which is coming out next july 15th!!  so yeah this film did pretty good explaining the story as to what the deathly hallows are and the characters' involvment with them.

effects were amazing, which seemed to get better with each movie.  one thing i'm a little tiffed at is this one scene featuring 2 of the main characters harry and hermione.  it's a scene thats totally in the book but it's just how they portrayed it and i thought it was a little inappropriate and weird.  i'm sure a lot of you have heard of the "controversial scene" already.  i'm not really offended, just annoyed the producers felt the need to film it that way.  i read an article saying that perhaps the last harry potter film needs to have the same "stylized and romantic" crap twilight has i guess.  lame, yeah i've never seen twilight but from what i've heard about it, it sounds lame.  also with the harry potter movies, i think harry could've been a lot hotter.  and i've felt that way since film one.

now that the final HP movies are coming out i want to get the WHOLE set (ALL 7 films) on BLU-RAY.  we don't have a blu-ray player yet but i know it's gonna be so sick watching it on one.  i know the HP set's gonna cost like, a million dollars, but that'll be my year present-birthday, mother's day? , half birthday, and Christmas.
