The beginning of an ending.
*Warning: Spoilers below*
This post is way overdue. I have watched HPDH last monday, november 15 andI have only blogged this now. I apologize to my blog conscience for postponing this entry. Without further ado, here is my take on Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Like most of the Harry Potter movies, we begin with Privet Drive, where Harry lived his childhood days before Hogwarts. Harry, who was branded as "the boy who lived" , was now "The Chosen One" and further more in the movie, "The Undesirable One". The movie started with an aura of knowing darkness. It is like Lemony Snicket saying that if you watch further, you will see a series of unfortunate events. And so we shall.
Hermione's family. Tears fell instantly when I saw Hermione obliviate her parents. I sadly love this scene because the director , for me, is saying that Hermione would lay down her life for the Wizard world. It is not Harry's fight anymore, it is also theirs. These are dark times indeed, and Hermione's cleverness/readiness will prove their worth as the story progresses. This scene was so moving because it portrays a sad acceptance of what to come.
The 7 Potters. NO doubt about it, Harry Potter's visual effects are pleasantly improving. I was laughing when Hermione changed into Harry. Daniel Radcliffe imitated her well! :)
Flight from Privet Drive. I was expecting that I would have a chance to take a glimpse of what happens to each of the 7 Potters. How George got his hole, how Mundungus Fletcher fled. But I think it also unnecessary since we have a lot of ground to cover.
Hedwig dies. It was a nice twist to have Hedwig died because she saved Harry. I have no qualms about that.
What I like about this movie is that it mixes a heart wrenching scene with some humor and you can purely laugh at the pun. That was what I saw when George's ear was shot by a spell. My eyes were brimming with tears from Hermione's obliviate scene and Hedwig's death but George's "Saint-like" joke was still funny. Kudos to the red headed twins!
The Kiss. Another nice twist, purely unexpected that George would come marching in when Ginny and Harry was kissing. *clears throat* But! Ginny is a little feisty here, don't you think? Having Harry zip her dress? *raises an eyebrow* All right, all right, I just want to be Ginny at that moment, snogging Harry, the man of my dreams!!!
Rufus. I did not particularly liked Rufus Scrimgeour's acting, for me, it's kind of gay. I was expecting something hard like The Fire Lord in The Last Airbender, someone tougher. But i have nothing against the actor. I don't why I saw some gay-ness. Oh well, never mind. I think I'll watch the movie again. harharhar.
Ministry of Magic. One twist I liked was the part where Ron kissed the woman on trial. Hahahaah!
Ron and the Horcrux. I applaud Ron for his performance in this scene. Rupert Grint did a great job! This was what I imagined Ron would be doing. Nice!
The dancing. Most might see this scene unnecessary but I see it important. It keeps in touch with reality. They are after all 17 year olds, and they try to lighten things up. Harry was more of a brother to Hermione and this scene proves how tight their relationship is. It's like adding fuel to Hermione's obliviate scene.
Horcrux. All right. This was epic. I was holding my breath when Ron was battling with the Horcrux. Torrid kissing there!
Wow. That was really jaw dropping. If I was Ron I wouldn't be able to kill the Horcrux. Movie version was great!
Dobby. We all know that Dobby dies.
Two lines that made me bawl...
"Dobby never meant to kill anyone..Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure"
"Such a beautiful place..to be with friends. Dobby is happy..to be with his friend...Harry Potter."
"Such a beautiful place..to be with friends. Dobby is happy..to be with his friend...Harry Potter."
THAT is just sad! Most of the HP fans I've talked with bawled at that scene, or at least got teary-eyed. If you watched Chamber of Secrets and you've seen Dobby's history, you'll know why we were so touched by this scene.
The fact that Dobby died also made us realize that the Potter Franchise is really at an end. We have to wait for one more movie and then it's goodbye. UNLESS! they make back stories of characters which we would love to watch. :)
My overall rating for this movie is... OUTSTANDINGLY EPIC. More emotional than the Half-blood Prince and more engulfing. Scenes are not to be missed out. It is worth watching the second time, the third and the fourth time. Some may say that it resembles to other movies they have watched, I say, "This is Harry Potter, and that makes it different."
Thank you J.K. Rowling for giving us another world to immerse in.

Somebody loved
To tell you the truth, I am having a hard time patching my relationship with mom. One reason is she has this annoying factor that makes you want to walk out on her... I know, i'm cruel by saying that. But let's face it. All of us had rough times with our parents. Everyone of us has those times when you think they don't effin' understand you or your feelings, but the truth is, sometimes they do know, that's why they tell you not to do things. We are proud creatures by nature, we think we are right all the time and most of us are trapped in our own little bubble. Each of us see things differently, we learn things differently and that's what parents need to understand.
Anyway, the main reason I said I have to blog this out is because it seems timely... or i don't know, it just struck me...
I was watching Glee yesterday and the episode's title was "Grilled Cheesus" The episode is about religion and what not.Kurt's dad is in a coma and his friends are trying to convert him or make him believe that there is a God. But he insists on believing what he wants to. The truth of the matter is, people can't live without having someone to look up to. We need something supernatural, something that gives us hope to survive this wild jungle of a life.
That was yesterday... and tonight, I heard Weepies playing on my itunes. I google the lyrics and the video and got this one.
There was a caption together with the lyrics below that video by JudgedJulez that inspired me to write this blog...
My Mommy died of cancer 6 Days before Christmas in 2007.
This is the song I heard about twohundert times since these days.
I love it coz it remembers me of good times.
I wanna make this video really clear thats why I juts added the lyrics to a black background.
UPDATE: I wanna thank everyone for there very lovely comments. It's brighten up my days.
Thank you
Lyrics:
Rain turns the sand into mud
Wind turns the trees into bone
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into somebody loved
Nights when the heat had gone out
We danced together alone
Cold turned our breath into clouds
We never said what we were dreaming of
But you turned me into somebody loved
Someday when we're old and worn
Like two softened shoes
I will wonder on how I was born
The night I first ran away from you
Now my feet turn the corner back home
Sun turns the evening to rose
Stars turning high up above
You turn me into, you turn me into
You turn me into somebody loved
Somebody loved, Ooo, somebody loved
My mom asked me for a date on Sunday and I said yes... With the busy life i'm living I rarely have time for my mom. Sure, i get to see her everyday, before i go to work, when i get home, but we have rare moments where we just talk and sit down without the mention of money... It's kinda sad, i know, but it's the truth.
The number of days i live in this earth is not multiplying by the minute... so i better enjoy and live life to the fullest.
we've got to love to the fullest....
