Harry Potter
Finally caught the 4th installment of the adolescent wizard (he's growing up so quickly la). Watched it at this huge theater at Great World. And i have the tickets to prove it. It's not a stub by the way, it's the whole ticket...
Why is the ticket whole you ask?
That's cos there wasn't anyone to tear out the stub, and we just sashayed past the barricade. Cool huh...
About the show, it was totally awesome, totally a must watch movie... For those who didn't read the book that is...
For a fan of the series, i must say that i, along with everyone else out there, was sorely disappointed with this film. I mean, yea, i won't deny that the effects were spectacular and yes, there was a part where i actually teared (when Harry brought Cedric's body back to his father, did you see Cho crying?)
However, what happened to other important bits in the show? What in the name of Dumblydorrre happened to the Quidditch World Cup? I knew it would be short, but not as ridiculous as only showing Krum flying in and pummeling the air. What happened to the leprechaun throwing fake gold around, or the mini figurines of Krum, or the Veelas. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REAL MATCH AT ALL?!?! I ws so shocked that i went "THAT'S ALL?" in the theatre!
Also, it was Dolby the house elf who gave Harry the Gillyweed, not Neville. And what about discovering Rita Skeeter as an Animagus whose animal form is a ladybug? I remember that the following book has Herminone threatening her about revealing her hidden ability if she doesn't interview Harry or something. And where's the Spinx in the maze? There wasn't any mention about Fleur being half Veela. And Hermione was supposed to have undergone this huge transformation at the Yule Ball, straightened her hair, shrank her teeth. Instead, we just saw her in a nice dress with more makeup.
Gosh, if the producers have any grey matter between them, they would have sold the movie in 2 parts. That way, they would earn more and everyone would be satisfied. Would you watch part 1 and skip part 2 even if it was bad?
I wouldn't.
