The long waited movie of the year seems more like a disappointment to me. If u r a fan of Harry Porter (the book), u wld hv agreed wif me tat the movie seems like a snap shot of each chapter wif an abrupt ending. Some characters have been totally cast off while many r jus being briefly brought across without much meaning...
Dumbledore doesn't seems as kind and wise as he was being described in the book. Important characters like Prof McGonagall, Malfoy (both senior & junior), Prof Snap seems like a nobody in the show while Percy was nt even mentioned in the movie. Somehow, the movie jus doesn't seems to link too well.
I used to b a true HP fan (until Bk 5). I find the story captivating and refreshing, full for fantasy. However, when the author became popular, her ideas began to shift a little. No longer is HP jus a 'Children' story book, it became more complicated and bloody. With the 1st killing in Book 4, it has sorta changed her style. My concept of HP is abt Friendship, Bravery, Love, Determination and Humour set in the world of magic & fantasy.
While the book gets thicker, the story gets less interesting. Too much effort is placed on the vengence of Voldemort against Harry Porter, repeating the same old story in a more lengthy and bloody way. I would rather the story keeps it's simplicity, going straight into it's focus. I din manage to finish book 5 as I find it too draggy to continue. Nearly one third of the book and I still dun get to see where is the story heading to. Mayb it was meant to be kept as a suspense, but it was simply overdone. Thus, the book is still lying on my shelf, waiting for me to pick it up again.
I guess it's time to pick it up n give it another try. I heard that it wasn't too bad once it gets into the story. & was told that Bk 6 is even more interesting. Hmm, shdn't hv too high hopes, otherwise might be disappointed again.
