HP7

This movie's my favorite so far. The way the scenes were executed... the casts' acting... even the way it ended was quite good if I had to compare it to the other HP movies. It was a breath of fresh air seeing Ron acting more mature, Harry deciding for himself and Hermione more in touch with her emotions. And of course, watching Draco, Lucius and Narcissa having second thoughts at the presence of Voldemort at their home - my heart went out to them - especially when Lucius handed his wand over to his master. Voldemort and Bellatrix's performance still gives me the creeps! Hedwig and Dobby's deaths absolutely made me my eyes misty. And Peter Pettigrew's dungeon scene made me laugh. =)

Even though there were some scenes in the book I wish he'd included as well I still give two thumbs up to David Yates. It was really hard to make the movie at par with the book and at the same time correcting previous directors' mistakes. My sister's eyes were glued to the big screen the entire movie duration and I was surprised that she actually understood the goings on even if  she haven't read one book from the series. Quite the opposite when we watched HP6 where she spent the whole time asking me for things she can't understand.

On a lighter note, the slasher in me can't help but wish during the Malfoy Manor scene for Draco to lean forward just a bit more and just kiss Harry! I can't help but ask my companions if they thought the scriptwriter was a closet slasher teehee! The movie had a lot of fodder for the slasher mind you know. Bill/Harry at the beginning when Fleur polyjuiced as Harry had a moment with Bill while they rode a dragon. Ron going after Harry outside the Burrow... oh well, not complaining.

And a lot of scenes involving Dan Radcliffe with his shirt off - *drools* - enough said.

Can't wait for the last movie to hit the big screen!

That said, how's everyone's weekend?
