Now I’ve tried to stay away from Harry Potter just because I am so completely and totally biased towards them. I love them. Since I was a kid and have read the books, seen all the movies and can quote most of the lines better than the actors themselves.
But tonight, Part 2 of the Deathly Hallows came on and I couldn’t resist talking about it.
It is recommended that you watch Part One before Part Two, but that’s you’re own choice. The beginning is just so quiet, and eerie as Harry, Ron and Hermoine set off to destroy the remaining horcruxes to destroy He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
After their Gringotts Bank encounter, You-Know-Who know’s what the trio are now after. It is very dark and sinister and there is only one scene I will warn you about.
Every single time that I see what happens in Snape’s life, meeting Lily, how she fell in love with James, how he found her body after she died, and how he looked at Harry and saw only Lily’s eyes makes me cry. Then when he cast’s a spell to show his patronous, it’s of a doe. The same as Lily’s. When Dumbledore asks, “After all this time?” Snape answers, “Always.”
There was a twitter quote that talked about that moment. It said “J.K. Rowling told a better love story in one chapter than Stephanie Myers did in 4 books”. Which I whole heartily agree.
I will not say that these movies are the best in the world. That’s asking for too much. I will say it’s the best series in the world. The best on going, fan committed, family based movie that I think anyone has seen in long time.
The next to beat will be the Hunger Games. You can quote me on that.
