Oh so sad

I'm not one to cry while watching movies no matter how sad but watching Deathly Hallows Part. 2 the scene where we find out the true loyalties of Snape really tugs at my heart strings. Ever since getting it on blu-ray on Wednesday I haven't been able to stop watching it. I'm sure there are other crazy mad Harry Potter fans who have been doing the same. LONG LIVE POTTER!

Happy Birthday Harry!

So today we celebrate the boy wizard wonder Harry Potter's Birthday! No coincidence it is also J.K Rowling's Birthday too. I'm sure everyone has already seen the last Potter film Deathly Hallows Part. 2 right? Well if you haven't, get your butt to the nearest cinema to see it. I have to say it is quite a good film. Did cry really hard during the bit where Harry finds out the truth about Snape. I'm not too embarrassed to admit this as there were tonnes of people crying during the Midnight screening.
Anyways I hope J.K has an awesome Birthday and I am forever grateful to her for writing the series of books that I've enjoyed since I was 10. I'm 24 now so that's 14 years of unforgettable memories!

Harry Potter Forever!

I've just gotten back from the Midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part.2. I'm not usually a big fan of the movies but I really enjoyed this one. I think it is because they didn't skimp on too much.
So I arrive at the cinema at 10:30pm thinking it's plenty of time because I'm an hour and a half early. Nope, I should have arrived earlier. There were loads of people. I mean scary amounts and I live in Palmerston North a town with about 75 thousand. I loved how so many people went dressed up and plus it made me feel a lot less embarrassed to be in all my Gryffindor get-up. I was fortunate enough to be in Cinema 1 (there were two other cinemas showing the film including one for 3D, which I hate) because it was the first cinema to let people in and it was also the cinema which sold tickets first, so I was with the hardcore fans. There were three chicks that had full Gryffindor robes and all but I was extremely jealous of them because they had these really cool light up wands.
Deathly Hallows Part.2 was done right which they haven't been in the past. I especially loved The Prince's Tale part of the movie. It was vindicating for Snape and I couldn't resist crying. I tried my best to stop but I just couldn't! The action scenes were done well and I thought the music throughout the movie was perfect. I'm not going to talk too much about scenes because I don't want to ruin it for others who have yet to watch it.
I have been quite emotional after the movie because Harry Potter has been with me since I picked up Philosopher's Stone back when I was 11. I'm 24 now and I'm still obsessed. The Harry Potter series will always have a special place in my heart. I hold on to it because it reminds me of my youth and has provided me with endless joy. Harry Potter Forever!

Magical Midnight!

*SPOILER ALERT* Don't say I didn't warn you!

I've just gotten home from my midnight screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. I am so fortunate to be one of the first people in the World to have seen it. Deathly Hallows Part 1 was amazing and I'm not just saying it because I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. I have been dissapointed with some of the previous movies for not being true enough to the books but Deathly Hallows Part 1 has far exceeded my expectations. The scene where the Death Eaters and Voldemort are at the Malfoy Manor was very true to the book and done so fantastically. Hedwig and Mad-Eye Moody's death however was quite a blur and really didn't make me feel too emotional and I felt much more emotional when reading it in the book. However I felt the opposite for Dobby's death. I didn't feel sad when he died in the book but for some strange reason I shed a tear watching his death in the movie. It was probably the combination of seeing Harry cry and the music. I would not recommend Deathly Hallows Part 1 to any children under the age of 10. Nagini alone would scare them. I score Deathly Hallows Part 1 a 10/10.

Potter Madness!

The world premiere for "The Deathly Hallows Part 1" was held in London last week. Lots of screaming fans lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the famous trio. I wish I could have been there. I do however have a ticket to the midnight screening at my local cinema for tomorrow and I can't wait! Potter madness is here!
