Heya again
Yesterday I watched the last Harry Potter movie, so I will write some kind of review. I will signify spoiler parts with italic font, so if you didn't watch the movie yet, I suggest not to read them.
First of all, I liked how the action gets its tempo from the beginning, it actually is even more lively than in prequel. There are no unnecessary stops. In my opinion the movie was not boring for even a while, that's good feature. As for ~2 hour movie, in fact rather lots of things occur, so all events happen rather quickly and places of action are being changed seemingly too fast as many watchers observed. In fact, some places characters visit are shown for a very short moment before they are changed again. I would personally not consider it as a disadvantage, maybe can seem a bit confusing, but all that is needed not to get confused to have some knowledge from previous parts.
Special effects were fabulous as always, there was no fail with that for sure.
I for sure did not regret watching it and I can honestly say I consider that part as the best one.
================spoiler part=================
In my opinion it was some significant disadvantage that there were not shown scenes of death of characters like Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin and Tonks. They were accurately described in book, while in movie they are skipped showing only their dead bodies. Too huge skip in my opion. The death of Snape - for sure one of the saddest momments in the movie. The truth about Dumbledore's death was revealed in an effective way, howevesr still there are many questions about the nature of that character. At one point he helped Harry to find a sword and forged it leaving a fake in Gringott bank, but at the same time he was able to disobey Voldemort and was a death eater again after Dumbledore's death. Nonetheless, it was sad he died, in a very brutal way. He could have been killed by simple Avada kedavra spell, but no. Voldemort had to terribly torment him using his snake. But otherwise, he would not be able to give Harry tears, so he could meet the truthThe lack of tale of Dumbledore's past was a huge mistake - in first part they came up with mentioning interesting truth about Dubledore's father that killed two muggles, so that has caused Dubledore a negative renoma, however not many remembered that. But the true story about that event was skipped that left some hole. I really expected that scene would be shown, even when there already were other references to the past.The scene in which Molly Weasley murders Bellatrix Lestrange I consider as a pure epicness. Quite bad of me saying this I know, but that was one of characters I strongly despised through the whole saga ^^' Anyway, who could expect such strenght in an inconspicious Ron's mother? That confirms the saying that mother in defense of her child gets an enormous power. Maybe a small mistake, but it seemed that Voldemort was obliterated right after Nagini, the last horcrux was destroyed, while strictly precisely he only lost his immortality, so Avada kedavra would work on him. In book that spell was actually bounced from Harry's expeliarmus, so it hit him leading to his definitive end.========================================================================

About spoiler part (yup, I read it. I don't like them, but while I read book, I don't mind them in that case, I consider all movies as worse quality then original although I like them) - well, I didn't expect they'll tell Dumbledore's story. Yes, it is important, but it's that kind of important thing they like to not to tell (like quidich in 4. movie or Saruman's wrongdoing in Shire at the end of Lord of the Rings the Return of the King). But yeah, it's pity. About deaths - really? I though they will try make make these scenes as dramatic as possible...
Anyway, not only things you mentioned left holes in story. If I would watch all HP movies without reading book, about 4. move I would be totally lost in story...
Anyway, the second part is not boring for even a minute, for me at least. Only has these few flaws I mentioned.
Yeah, for sure adaptations are never as good as their original forms. As you read the book, you should not be scared of spoilers.
Oh, yeah, I know what you mean. But I meant more that they made some huge mistake with it as they attracted the curiosity of a watcher in first part of 7th movie. That part during Bill and Fleur wedding when Harry sat down and some guests were talking about Dumbledore. One wonan mentioned Harry about Dumbledore's father and it left lots of questions unanswered for these that did not read a book. That's a serious scenario mistake.
In the same way I disliked it in Code Geass (anime, quite different case) - they made a huge, unsolved mystery from C.C.'s true name for example. If they start something, they should finish it.
Unfortunately yeah... I expected there will be shown that scene where the wall collapses buring Fred Weasley and then... nothing like that, we see him dead after Harry coems back to Hogwart... so disappointing.
Yeah, that's surely true as well. I was actually talking about just that movie.
But yeah, 4th was probably most changed adaptation. Lots of things are severely changed and things cut off. Just the beginning is very different from the one in a book. In book, as in each part, it begins from the house of Dursley's and Harry's hard life with them
But what was the weirdest - movie didn't show deaths of certain characters that had rather significant meaning in it.
Hai, that's why I'm not :3.
I see. Yeah, when you mention that, I see it clearly. When I watched that scene, I thought that they should tell whole story, I thought they will not, but I didn't realize what you just wrote :3.... Hm. Now you made me want to read Code Geass manga XD.
I see...
Yeah, I know :3. Yeah...
Yeah...
well yeah, the 5th part is in fact the longest one, so it for sure fit two movies, however its plot they were able to fit in 2 hour movie
I wonder how would it be, if they tried to make 7th part in one movie - how short would be the part of getting the 3rd horcrux
anwyay, the scene of infiltrating the magic ministry was my favourite scene from the first part of 7th movie
especially when the Ron was acting like some worker and was kissing with wife of the one he pretended and suddenly he appears and Ron already comes back to his original look
Yeah, exactly. As it was told by Dumledore's brother, already after events from the first part, I expected it will be revealed in second part, but... no. One big disappointment.
But Code Geass manga is completely diffent from anime. I was actually refering to anime.
Anyway, I would suggest you to watch anime rather than manga, if to comes to Code Geass, it just seems it turned out better.
Yeah, but for what cost... 5th book is one of my favorite and I could say same about 5th movie, but still, the movie is in my opinion to chaotic, it jumps from one thing to another and I can not imagine to understand it without reading book... (But last fight was amazing :3.)
Yeah, exactly - and I would guess it would be like 4th, 5th and 6th movie :3.
Heh, although it's not my fav, you're totally right about that :3. It's pretty funny scene XD.
I see, yeah...
I see. And I saw Code Geass, both series and it's one of mecha anime I really like (the other is Full Metal Panic - but not Second Raid, that is too mecha :3). (And btw. if I remember correctly, we talk about that anime long time ago.) Anyway, that's interesting, my experience is that manga is better or same but more complex. (For example my last anime was Elfen Lied - and then I read manga - and it was better but mainly about twice longer then anime. And made more sense.) (Or second example is Higurashi no Naku Koro ni we talked about some time ago - I "played" first chapter and anime has about 30% of content (maybe less) although about 100% of bloody content (which in result made relatively less blood then in anime).... (And I wanted read more chapters, but it contains pretty ugly DRM, so I refuse buy that: if they cancel server there is no way to run it. And NDS version is not translated :3.) (Grrr... why visual novels in general are so unpopular in Europe and US? :3) )
they just had to make it so narrow to fit it in just one movie
they made a big skip since the beginning of the book to Harry's trial when he was suspected of casting a spell in a presence outside of Hogwart
and the trial was ridiculously short as well
btw. I have a 5th HP part as a game on PS2 and it's in a big range based on the movie, however of course you have much more to do, so the gameplay is long enough
I agree, the last scenes were great, since the moment Harry and friends rushed to help Sirius and prevent Voldemort from obtaining the prophecy
the scene of Sirius's death was also really effective
6th movie was also very shortened and it shows some scene in not that effective way as it was written in book
but since when Harry and Dumbledore decide to find horcruxes everything gets interesting
the scene of Dubledore casting that spell that destroyed enemies in a den looked awesome
oh right, you probably mentioned me once, sorry ^^'
I know, usually manga is better than anime, but it's not always like that, there are exclusive cases
I see.
Yeah.
Yeah, I agree with that, too. (But I really hate the scene in middle - attacking Weasley's home (not sure how it's named in English) - they added it just because they thought there is no much action in the book. (I guess fight with deatheaters after Dumbledore's death was not much actioned in their opinion so this was also much shortened... This I can't understand XD))
That's ok (I do it all the time XD).
Yeah, that's true
