So since we went to the final Harry Potter movie for our anniversary and since it is the LAST one I figured I would give my feelings on it... keep in mind I have only seen it once and it was late at night haha. Just looking at the movie as a movie I think it was a great movie... very entertaining, etc... but the books will ALWAYS be better than the movies in my eyes! I literally grew up with these characters... I got the 1st Harry Potter book for Christmas the year I turned 11... I fell in love with the books from the moment I picked the first one up. The movies were great, but the books were way better in my opinion. I honestly think the true Harry Potter fans are the people who read the books and stood in the lines at midnight to get the books, not see the movies (sorry to all of you who only watched the movies, but it's just a fact)... if it weren't for the fans of the books the movies wouldn't have been half what they were in my opinion. Seeing young kids (who I would almost guarantee never read the books) all dressed up at the movie and hearing all the gasps and things in the theater was really entertaining for me because you could just tell who hadn't read the books! I know i'm a bit of a Harry Potter snob, but really friends... if you haven't read the books you must do it! They will change your life! I LOVE HARRY POTTER!... and if I have anything to do with it my future students will be exposed to at least the first book! :)
I'm going to see it Thursday! I'm so excited! I have only read up to Book 4 (don't kill me!), but I have them all on my iPad and plan on catching up fully this summer.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law is a total "harry potter snob" too, haha. She was getting herself all upset a couple weeks ago talking about this very thing!
I agree. However, I think they couldn't have portrayed Snape in any better way. Two thumbs up from me on that scene. It was so beautiful and so sad. I was seriously close to sobbing. lol
