After six movies and seven books, we still get excited for this wizarding lot. We attended the Midnight Premiere and off the bat, befriended a group of gals who came prepared with lawn chairs. We played rounds of Crazy 8's, laughed way too much and headed into the theatre.
The special effects in this movie were outstanding. Gliding and whipping through the streets of London made you feel like you were flying. This opening scene set the tone for the rest of the film: unbelievable.
In their sixth year at Hogarts; Harry, Hermonine and Ron finally give into their teenage hormones. The direction of this sexual tension was spot on. I remembered all the awkwardness of young love and the confusion that came with it.
For myself personally, I loved seeing the transition from child to adulthood. We see Draco Malfoy struggling with the pressure of trying to please the family as he wears suits in every scene. My favorite cast character from here on out will be Ron Weasley (sorry Oliver Wood). Seeing Ron on screen with his ripped arms reminded me of the scene in "Goblet of Fire" when Harry slips into the bathroom and the whole movie audience erupted into shrieks.
Be prepared to laugh in this film. Laugh at the awkwardness of teenage love and the sarcastic comments out of Ron's mouth. I was completely shocked and loved every minute of it.
Also to note, the ending is a shade different from the book. I won't give it away (unlike that horrible, soulless person did in the RedEye), but I felt it was a pivotal scene in the book and it needed its place in the movie. The ending does point nicely to the two-part finale of this magical tale. We simply cannot wait for the next installations to this fantastic series.
