Journey

What would life have been without Harry Potter, cant imagine.

Watched Deathly Hallows - 2 yesterday, and saw Sorcerer's Stone just now, what a change yaar, simply amazing the way all the characters have grown, and stupefied to see the way Rowling has so clearly thought out and linked the plot through the entire series, as Ron would say Wicked !!

before you read further you will be sorted into your houses, you know konse, and here you have the free will to choose, there's no sorting hat, although we have a snorting hat if interested.;p

now talking about the characters growing, Hermione and Ginny becoming hot babes from baby girls, Harry and Ron getting muscular n taller n taller, in-fact now they have baby boys n gals, chubby li'l round faced Neville growing into a snake killer ;p, Snape turning out to be a good guy eventually, Hagrid still remains hairy giant, Prof Albus Percivial Wulfric Brian Dumbledore a.k.a Dumbledore is only available in portraits now as he is no more [bt I hav gt my own personal dumbly-dore (u knw who) ;p], Voldy finally died his own hands and harry remains to be a wizarding miracle by surviving the killing curse yet again, the four creators of marauders map all dead, and many more characters, even Draco has shown signs of improvement, if i strt mentioning the whole cast, it wil take ages n pages.

Now what more to say, just that I am really glad that Harry Potter series happened during my lifetime, there are many many many more famous writers and works of fiction, but I owe my reading addiction to this.

The Boy who lived, lost, suffered, loved, got loved, survived and finally killed and again lived happily ever after.

P.S : I stole Rite Skeeter's quill and hoodwinked it with an immensely powerful spell and it now writes such pieces ;p 

Potter-more

 

Well…what best to begin with, the thing you cannot let out of your system. And this being the latest film I saw, so it makes all the more sense to write about it. It is just like one of your favorite food, which you have and have and have till you are completely stuffed but you still feel that you can never be fulfilled. Well the books had ended their era sometime ago…. but now the last installment of the harry potter movies is also out…(sigh…L)…and will be gone soon.

Hats off to JKR for weaving such a mind-blowing story and binding it with such strong characters. And to some extent the screenplay writers, directors along-with JKR who made great effort in adapting the books into movies…(My personal adaptation being the Prisoner of Azkaban…J)

Now coming to the latest venture in the series, the best part was no doubt the entire build-up to the Battle of Hogwarts, from the moment Mc Gonagall confronts Snape to protect Harry, and bringing the statues and knights to life to protect the school, Prof Filtwick and Slughorn along-with Molly Weasly casting protective spells around Hogwarts and making an inter-twined web of protection. And who can forget the amazing shot in which Neville cuts off Nagini's head in slo-mo.   Amazzzinngg…..

Talking about a bit technical stuff, spell-binding special effects and a great and difficult effort in editing and trying to show each and every character coming together at the end…no doubt it would have been a hell of a job to decide what to cut and what to put…(what's gonna be in the final cut among the arguments between the director, producer…phewww)

As it always happens in adaptations…you tend to compare it with the book, take references from your imagination and end up being disappointed as places, but as it is a film, cinematic liberties are a must…its different to explain in words and reproduce the same in visuals. (as the gringotts part in the movie kinda happened to easily and quickly…well….)

Come what may, a decade of Potter movies has ended, the little kids playing the character have become hot babes and handsome hunks. But Harry Potter has had an everlasting impression in our lives…glad that it happened during our lifespan.

This is it then…. but the post cannot end without thanking Prof Dumbly (if reading, you know, thanks a lot), whose book I took a leaf from and got inspired to have a blog.

Cheerz…and Expecto Patronum (keep your personal Dementers at bay)
