What's All This Craze About Harry Potter 7?
Yes. I have seen Harry Potter 7. It was excellent. I was one of the millions of people who flocked to the theater to see the beginning of the end of Harry Potter. The saga is almost complete. The story is getting progressively sadder and more realistic as the trio of wizards face the horrors of hiding out in the real world, always worrying about the family and friends that they left behind. Death is in the air and Harry and his friends know that it's coming for them next. And cut. Cliff hanger! The new Harry Potter does not fail to impress me. I have heard a lot of people say that the newer Harry Potter movies have been lacking, and though I disagree, I think that everyone can agree that this was one of the best, if not the best installment of the Harry Potter movies. I'm not saying it's my favorite, as my favorite will forever remain Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was definitely way different than any Harry Potter yet. When reading the books it is hard to imagine a world outside of Hogwarts, but I think that this movie did an excellent job of portraying the settings and making them match the tense and depressing mood without having much to go on. We, the viewers, are finally forced to stop thinking of Harry, Hermione, and Ron as adults rather than children, which isn't hard as Harry is often topless. The only downside I see to it is Voldemort. And this has actually been a problem since the 4th movie when he first appeared in his human-ish form. He just isn't intimidating! What's worse is seeing him actually makes me laugh. That's just not right. He's just so strange! The way he says things, his mannerisms, it's just all wrong. I could say the same about the "new" Dumbledore, but those who have seen the newest movies know why that would be an irrelevant concern. Despite Voldemort and his quirks, the movie is great and everyone should see it. But only after watching all of the other movies! Here's the trailer (for both parts): Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
