Hurry Harry!

Magical mayhem at its wildest welcomed me upon watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. The movie, as J.K. Rowling herself acclaimed, is the best so far. I'd still say that Alfonso Cuaron's was the best, but in terms of its relevance and relation to the book, this is the big deal. It is an ode to readers who followed both the books and the movies in as long as ten years. I personally have been a fan since 2000, a couple of months before the first movie release.

And now, a decade of magic and wandlore nearly comes to an end as we await for the last chapter of Harry Potter's epic battle against Lord Voldemort. It is a pity though that the next part is still to be longed until July 2011. Eight months, eight freakin' months! Hurry up Harry!

I know it's a long wait, but all I can do now is list the things that made this latest Potter flick a magical mayhem aka SPOILERS!


1. J.K. Rowling's last words.
   The lines in the movie came from the book itself. It seemed like you were just reading the book while you hear the characters say their lines. Not entirely though, but still, even Fred and George's "holey" conversation were right at the bat.

2. Harry, Hermione and Ron's adolescence
   Gone were the days where these three were just playing around Hogwarts, seeking for adventure and escaping danger. Now, aside from being outside the comforts of their school, their lives have also grown to entwine in adolescent rage that led to Ron's drastic actions. Hermione has really grown into a wonderful lady here. A very beautiful and smart lady.

3. Sneaky snake
   I was a bit disappointed when I found out that the movie will not be shown in 3D, but after watching the movie, I am actually quite relieved that it's not (shown in 3D). That Nagini (Voldemort's snake), was a scene stealer! He/she barely was involved in the movie but all of his/her scenes were painstakingly breathtaking! Really, a pain in the chest area. Makes me want to swear with a British accent.

4. Harry and Hermione's epic dance scene
   This was really a surprise twist that it actually came out as natural as it can be for Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson. I say though that Harry ought not to be asked to danced again in the next movie. But this is definitely one of those "awwww" moments in the film.

5. Harry and Hermione's epic kiss
   I was shocked. It was...weird seeing these two hit it on almost naked! Well, that is in Ron's imagination as the "evil" locket read his heart's desires and rage. Really, it was shocking...and kinda wild. (and I like it!)

6. Dobby...a free elf
   More than the untimed deaths of Hedwig (Harry's beautiful owl) and Mad Eye Moody, Dobby's was the saddest. I was teary eyed when I read it on the book, but when I saw Dobby slowly drifting away in Harry's arms, it was sad. Depressingly sad.

7. I was like, wha'?!
   True. It never really came to me that the movie has ended until I saw the credits. It ended with Voldemort victorious. That's it. It is now time to count the days 'til it's July 2011.

Avada Kedavra.
