HP 7 (Part 1)


Finally, the first installment of the Harry Potter epic finale...

We decided to have it viewed on a Saturday (Nov. 20) to see to it that our minds and body are in good condition in front of the wide screen of imax theatre... I doubted kung talagang excited ang mga kaibigan ko manood ng Harry Potter considering na di naman sila ganun kaadik katulad ko... The idea of watching the movie together might be self-explanatory...

As early as Nov. 18, nagpareserve na kami ng tiket para makapili ng magandang spot... we picked the saturday sked at 8:00 p.m. to accommodate Jo who has to end class at 7 p.m. Ironically, kami pa ni Shaine ang huling dumating sa imax... buti na lang naabutan namin yung logo ng Warner Brothers... sakto pagkaupo as if inantay talaga kami... Maricel and Mike, Jo and Alvin, Nald and Kc and Janet (na walang partner tsk tsk) were seated comfortably when we arrived... For the record, first time ko makasama mahal ko manood ng Harry Potter... So, this one is worth to take note of... :)

The lights were shut off... and the movie commenced... I was surprised that Yexley, a deatheater, who is supposed to be arguing against Snape regarding Harry's escape on the first part of the book, was not introduced... But no problem cuz this did not alter the storyline... Although I had read (fully comprehend) the book, I was still anxious to see the next scenes... Lalo na nung tinamaan ng killing spell si Hedwig... Nalungkot ako ng sobra sa part na to... Apart from Ron and Hermione, Hedwig has no doubt filled the emptiness inside Harry as an orphan for about 6 years... well justified sa book as compared to the movie...

I was also expecting the appearance of Viktor Krum during Bill and Fleur's wedding... Sabi nga ni Wheng (friend kong adik din - if I were Harry, she's Hermione), sayang ang talent fee para kay Krum dahil yun lang naman ang appearance nya sa movie... I agree... Although I understand that in the book, there is a reappearance of Krum in the later part... Anyway, the movie is full of action as expected... When Voldemort managed to get the Elder Wand (one of the Hollows) from Dumbledore's tomb, he raised it up and a huge lightning came out from it... THE END...

Tulad ng marami, nabitin talaga ako... sayang nga lang at hindi na-explain in more details sa movie ang tungkol sa mga horcruxes na hinahanap nila Harry... Ganun din ang mga Hollows at ang relasyon nito kina Dumbledore at Grindelwald.... too bad for the squibs (witches or wizards who do not perform magic like Mr. Filch... in muggle term, they are the people who know of the HP books and yet never read them) who rely solely on the movies...

I respect everyone's preference though... I had long been wanting Shaine to enter the magical world of Harry Potter... Unfortunately, she cannot penetrate the barrier leading to Platform 9 3/4... She tried to wave a wand but the result is as worse as Seamus Finnigan's... Maybe not now.... I will just have to wait for the right time...

Next year (i guess sometime in May) will be the second part.... Nakakalungkot kasi wala na ko aabangan... only one thing is certain, however... My wizard blood will continue to run through my veins forever (di halatang adik...lol)...

DRACO DORMIENS NUNQUAM TITILLANDUS!!!
