Last night I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in IMAX, totally huge! Something Aaron and I often do together when going to the movies is walk into the theater just as the feature is starting. Not smart on Thanksgiving day and a totally popular movie and IMAX. We ended up sitting way up on the stairs because it's really hard to watch a movie when yr sitting so close yr basically beneath the screen. So, we'll try to go earlier, but actually I liked sitting on the stairs because it's different and you can stretch out more. Most people dont' pee as much as I do either, so I didn't have to move a lot for other people or ask other people to move a lot for me. All of this is extra, though! What about the movie!
Well, I totally, totally loved it! Those kids are so grown up, it's amazing. And the whole war thing, it reminded me of The Godfather a little, like, how they're going to war and they have to leave their homes and families, they call it going to the mattresses.
I'm not going to know anyone's name really because I never read this book and it's been too long since the last. But! I love Voldemort's nose. I love the flies buzzing around Bathilda (?) the historian so you knew she wasn't really her, that she was dead when Harry and Hermione meet her meat on the road near the cemetary. I love how the snake comes back up the stairs in her house when you think it's dead! I love Hermione and Harry dancing after Ron left! I love the whole mental illness or depression or self doubt thing about the locket, and how Ron totally defeats it but not before having some trouble! I love those Weasly twins! I love the adorable clothes Hermione and Ron wear and how tiny Hermione is! I love the evil lady in the pink suit who wears the locket in the courtroom! Evil middle aged women are my favorite! I also love Luna Lovegood! What a cute purple jumpsuit she was wearing when they were all stuck in the dungeon!
I was pretty much in love with this movie from the beginning until the end, and I'm so psyched for Part 2. I haven't loved all the Harry Potter movies, but I do think they've gotten better and better. I feel really satisfied by that movie, and even though I did'nt read the book, I don't feel left out.
Anyway, I guess I don't have much to say besides that I really like it. Harry Potter is such an escape, JK Rowling has really done us all a favor.

i liked hearing what you thought about the movie because i wondered what it would be like if you hadn't read the books. like, there is so much more in the books and i didn't know if you'd miss it.
ReplyDeletelike, when someone asks if voldermart can feel it when the hocruxes are destroyed. did you notice that? what did you think about that?
i love the lovegoods. her dad's a really important supporter of the resistance and i love that he was broken when they kidnapped his daughter.
and, i agree that it's great ron destroys the locket but that it's hard. shit's hard, you know?
shit is totally hard.
ReplyDeletewhat is the deal with the hocruxes? i mean, that V-dawg can feel it or not? i just kind of heard it in context and left it at that.
