| Harry Potter five movie-wise |

So it is better than the book which is interesting and kinda great (incidentally the only of these films to be better then the source material other than Cuaron's entry at about book three which was fantastically weird enough to be different than the book, if not better). I think, maybe, hiring a no-name director, er, David Yates, was the best thing this series could possibly do because, let's face it, J.K. Rowling's ideas and characters were always miles better than the prose.
I kinda hope Yates directs the last two. There is a lot of difficulty, in terms of even if this episode has people standing on boxes next to Daniel Radcliffe in order to make hime look smaller which is kinda silly for 15 year olds which I have cousins that were 15 and were about 7 inches taller than me, they need to make 20 year olds look like 16 year olds. I'll let that one go.
I can say that I think the concept of "Tonks" and as her appearance in the film, there is no such thing as more sexy than that with the exception of my wife, of course. Holy Smokes.
That she [SPOILERS} dies [SPOILERS] in the last volume really makes me bitter about the series.
She was easily my favorite character, not just in the series but possibly ever in fiction and so for her to die regardless of precedent* was unfair.
I love you and goodbye for a long long time.
*Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary are the obvious "this" - women sin and then the die, except Tonks _didn't DO that_. It counts as an unfair character death similar to Wesley in _Angel_. Which Joss admits would not have happened should the show have not ended.
Again, Love. |
