The best MOVIE in the Harry potter saga

Reasons why you should not miss this movie


1.Sterling performances by all artists


2.Perfect mixture of all elements


3.Faithfulness to the main story


4.Excellent special effects


5.Taut screenplay


Bottomline First: DOn’t miss this movie!:-)


Its been quite a long time since I enjoyed a movie this much!


Unfortunately( or fortunately!) I couldn’t get a chance to read this book, the sixth in its series of which I ve devoured only the first 5.


The movie is wonderously fine! The story keeps you interested with its superb humour and shows a new Harry Potter who is not as childish as he was before.


His childish anger and attachment to his friends and well wishers slowly changes to more mature emotions. to an extent we start doubting whether this is Potter!? Though his anger and sadness of losing Sirius is always there.


The movie shifts from sequence to sequence on various areas. and one rollacoster ride at that! The special effects accompanying every scene and most importantly the quidditich matches are flawless. Though the director had cleverly trimmed all the matches to a mere 1 or 2 minutes, you never really notice it. He makes you concentrate more on the other important aspects.


Daniel, Emma and Rupert have lived their roles and there is nothing much to comment on that.Alan Rickman as Snape delivers as good as usual. Helena Bonham Carter has been skillfully WASTED in every scene she appears. I expected a lot from her, she has nothing to do other than act sly and wicked like the witches in our’stories for children’ books.


Very cleverly the less important characters(in this part) have been dimished to carry forward the plot(of the movie). As a result you can’t expect to see a lot of Remus, McGonagall, the weasleys and Hagrid.


The love scenes and the so called’they-ve-become-adults’ scenes could have been trimmed. Harry potter is not about young girls and boys kissing each other around. Suddenly the Hogwarts castle s become a wide-open corridor for people to make-out and smooch in the dark!


Though you see a lot of Harry and only Harry, the movie pulls you along the entire ride with its humour from start and gets serious as it rolls by.The character of Dumbledore is given a lot of importance for all the obvious reasons.


A lot has been squeezed into this movie and that makes you enjoy every bit of it.


AND!


A strict NO NO for( I know this strange.but better late than never:-))


1.Anti-Potter maniacs( Ya you know those people who come in, sit down watch the movie and then say "oh wat crap in this? how do you people watch this s**t?" If you wanna be Sarcastic, pls do it alone at home and don’t disturb people who want to enjoy the movie).If you guys are that clever don’t spend money on the tickets in the first place


2.Highly logical brains( Unless you want to skillfully find out logic flaws in a fantasy movie:-P)


3.Harry Potter-first timers


4.Very serious people( Ya you do have other’serious’ movies.so chill)


We all know it is terribly impossible to include every detail from the book into this movie. So leave the experience of the book and experience the movie first hand!


Verdict


10/10 - Casting


9/10 - Special effects


9/10 - Screenplay and direction


10/10 - Technical aspects(Art, Cinematography, costumes)


Don’t miss it!
