Harry Potter

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 1, was amazing. It was 8th grade when I read my first Harry Potter book, and though I was initially skeptical, I became captivated by J. K Rowling's wondrous wizarding world. Therefore, when news of a film series reached my ear, I was ecstatic. Unfortunately, the first two movies felt like a letdown, and I criticized them for leaving out so many of the book's details. Why do that do that? I wondered. Many readers prefer to simply read novels and ignore big-screen adaptations, arguing that actors and script writers depict poor adaptations of well-written literature.

It's true that I'd always pictured Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, and several other characters rather differently than their real life counterparts, but I quit complaining and stuck with this consistent thought: I'm a Harry Potter fan. I've read and re-read the books countless times. Therefore, it's only fitting that I see the movies too. Luckily for me, the movies got better and better.

I LOVED Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (The 6th addition). My confidence restored, I knew I needed to view the newest production quickly.....or else, hear a personal review from a friend, or worse........be tempted to read all the details in Entertainment Weekly.

The movie ends beautifully yet somberly, approximately page 500 of a 760 page book. I'm anxiously awaiting part two of Hallows, which I believe releases in July. I think it's wonderful to see this story come to life. Oh, but I am curious about one thing........... how does the evil Voldemort breath out of that repulsive slit of a nose??
