Blog 65 - Harry Potter!!

So I actually watched Harry Potter last Friday with my boyfriend, but my roommate's family has a tradition of watching Harry Potter on Thanksgiving, so we watched it again today (writing this blog a day early I am). Anyway, after watching it the second time I think that this one is one of the better HP movies. My favorite ones are still the first two, but this one is pretty well directed and the storyline definitely doesn't stray away from the book too much (though there are some minor differences like Harry doesn't use polyjuice potion as in the book, though this is probably because Daniel Radcliffe is the star not some other guy...). I did feel that if you watched the movie and didn't read the books that you'd be really confused at parts. Even I had forgotten some of the things that happened in the last book and if I hadn't read the books I think I would have been confused when I was watching. Anyway, I'm pretty excited for the second part to come out this summer, and I definitely will be in line to see that! I really do love the Harry Potter book series, and for all of you who only watch the movies and don't read the books......GO READ THE BOOKS. They're really amazing, and theres so much more that you feel from the books than from the movies...a lot more emotion is conveyed and it really gets you attached on an emotional level with all of the characters and events going on with Voldemort, Harry, and Dumbledoore. I definitely think that the relationship between Harry and Dumbledoore wasn't explained too well in the movie...because Harry feels like he never really got to know Dumbledoore despite all the time he got to spend with him. Maybe these feelings will be expressed more when the second half got released....
