...Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1...
It is quite risky to write a critique on Harry Potter considering its fame
but for you, readers, I am ready to face up the crazy spotty fans.
I must say, first of all, that I read all the books before seeing the adaptations and I am particularly attached to the story; as it corresponds to a part of my childhood...
you know the part where you wish magic really exists because reality sucks, I was myself convinced that the day I will finish the books I will become a wizard, but never happened, I am still a boring human...but I am loosing track we are not here to comment on my kinder garden or spotty teenager time.
The point is, no matter the quality of the adaptation, we will still go and see the movie and will still enjoy something out of it because we are attached to the characters.
But luckily, I went to see the movie with some Harry Potter's virgins!
Let me explain the term, by virgins, I mean human beings who have never read the books nor watch the movies.
That is why I cherish their point of view...mainly dominated by a huge disappointment.
Therefore from that stage, I am sorry, Harry Potter's Lovers, I have to be honest and spill the dirt!
The first shot and the last shot really disappointed me as they enter the story with an extreme close up on the eyes of a character, I cannot even remember whom! I was just wondering why would you start such an amazing story full of magic with a boring and intimate close up on the eyes!!!
Nevertheless I did not dislike the movie for all that.
No! I was angry to find out, that they divided the last and most important book of my childhood in two to maximize their profits!
Plus, they decided to end the first part, when absolutely nothing happens leaving us completely frustrated.
I was like "who is the idiot who switches on the light, the movie is not ...(credits rolling ) oh my god, the movie is over!!! are you kidding me!!!!!!"
Another point I should not mention is Harry potter sex appeal... literally vanishing or being stolen by Ron who for some reason has never looked so fit, lucky Hermione.
But that is just to recall that this story is great because the characters are just ordinary people, like us but their reality is magic.
Thank you J K Rowling (author of Harry Potter, information for the Potter's virgins) for this realistic magic story if that makes any sense at all!!
LAST BUT NOT LEAST:
I will finish this article by focusing on the reason why I enjoyed the movie, whatever the director David Yates did with it....... the presence of the charismatic and cute DOBBY!!
he was my favourite character and will always be, I am sure a real fan will shed tears when he dies....
a bit like when dogs die in movies and we are so shocked that the screenwriter made them die!!!
Believe it or not, they killed our favourite and beloved character TWICE... in the books and in the movies!!!
To cap it all,
if you are a fan, run to see the movie!
if you are a Harry Potter's virgin.. well prolong your abstinence until you can watch it for free!
Dear all my readers, read the books :-)
