Harry Potter ..... I still remember the line in The Da Vinci code
Robert Langdon : The Holy grail is the best sellin book of all time
Editor : Don't tell me the Holy grail is Harry Potter
Robert: I actually mean The bible
Harry Potter was a phenomenon . Every person of my age ( i.e. 20 now) was totally hooked to the books.
This picture aptly shows the phenomenon Harry Potter . ;)I am a die hard fan of the Harry Potter books .... I must have read the first 4 like 15 times and the next three about 5 times so u can see I am pretty much a crazy follower of the Potter series.
To be honest I have never expected much from the Potter movies for the very reason they have been thoroughly disappointing as compared to the books. That being said the movies have progressively gotten better atleast in terms of ability to engross the audience.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows is no different , a definite improvement over the Half blood prince .... better visual effects , a more succinct version of the book & even better acting .
A must mention of the brilliant comic performance of Rupert Grint. The small jokes in between are very well done.
Basically for once the movie is fairly loyal to the book as far as possible . The build up of finding the hallows is done well . Also part 1 has a very appropriate ending with Voldemort ( oops) I mean The Dark Lord a.k.a He who must not be named finding the elder wand.
Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows is definitely the best of the series so far.
The only complaint which is actually not possible to resolve is I always feel that unless one has read the book he cannot possibly understand the movie thoroughly......there are various examples Harry Potter being one , The Lord of the rings , The Da vinci code , Angels & Demons , Eragon , the list is endless .
SO if you intend to see Harry Potter do try and read the books first , you will definitely enjoy the movie a tad bit more ;) and if you dont like reading go watch the movie neway its worth a watch :)
