harry potter

hello everyone. lol. damn super sian. i see jiawen and rayrin online but neither one of them is talking to me, blah. rayrin's prolly mapling, but jiawen.. whr are you?! im super sian leh wenwen arh talk to me lehs.

therefore meanwhile i shall blog to pass my boredom. went to watch harry potter just now, hadnt meant to blog about it, dint wanna spoil everyone's fun, but too bad, since ive got nothing to do now, i shall blog den.

SPOILER WARNING

there, youve decided to see this, so dont say that i dint warn you. seriously i feel that HP GOF wasnt as bad as what everyone said. i mean, what do you expect? the movie cannot be exactly the same as the book. the movie's commercialised. besides, they made the changes to let the story in the MOVIE flow better. the book is so thick, they cant possibly follow it exactly. who would want to watch a movie that is 3 or 4 hours long, other than a hardcore HP fan that is (like me:D).

like i said the movie's heavily commercialised. like the fact that they made beauxbaton an all gurls school, and the fact that durmstrang was made an all boys school [if im not wrong durmstrang was supposed to also be a co-ed sch]. wouldnt it look weird if boys were wearing the school robes of beauxbatons? i guess they just wanted to even up things abit by making beauxbatons a gurls sch, durmstrang a boys sch and hogwarts a co-ed school.

of course there are other changes that i deem not suitable. like the fact that they made dumbledore a shouting, agitated old man. dumbledore has NEVER shouted at harry before. he's supposed to be a wise, calm old man. not someone who grabs harry around the neck and shouts in his face. the producers prolly just wanted to make the show more thrilling. but still i feel that this is spoiling dumbledore's image. its such a pity richard harris died. the new dumbledore looks like a gypsy. dumbledore's supposed to be tall and grand and white and calm. the new dumbledore is short and common and easily agitated and grey. he's so BLEAH. argh but what to do, the good dumbledore has died. argh.

oh and i was very disappointed in not being able to see sirius. i really wanted to see sirius in this movie, but ohwells, including sirius will just make the movie longer than it already is. but seriously i wouldnt mind sitting there for even four hours. lol.

hmm the show kept the gist of the story, but they really omitted alot of parts of the book. but afterall, the book is still better, i mean, it is more complete. i had never really placed high hopes on the movies before anyway, so it doesnt really matter to me.

i feel that ron and hermione dint really get much screen time, i mean, most of the time when they appear its only in very forgettable scenes. fred and george were the ones who made deep impressions. and ohmy, they are so super seh. tall and with long hair, and they are so damn funny too. they're a very memorable pair. lol. cant wait to see them in the nxt movie, they're very important characters in the next movie. haha. love them!

and cho sucks, big time. hermione is so so so much prettier than cho. argh, cho looks so fat, and so plain. she doesnt deserve harry at all! haii nevermind they dint get together anyways, who really cares.

neville grew up alot too. haha, the whole waltzing thing was damn funny larhs. hehe.

oh and cedric diggory is so shuai! argh why did he die? whywhywhy?! even my sister felt that it was a pity cedric died, cos he wont appear in the next movie then. LOL. but the scene when harry came back with cedric was very touching, esp when fleur screamed. i nearly cried. but dint cry eventually cause the scene progressed very fast to the barty crouch jnr part. speaking of which, i felt that it was very rushed, and they dint really explain things very carefully. if i hadnt read the books i would not have understood what was happening.

so overall, the movie has a rushed feel to it, but i like the middle part, it was very lighthearted and funny. lalala. hehe. so anyways, please people, stop critisizing the movie. its hard enough to compress the book into a 2h 37mins long movie already. i suggest that everyone should just sit back and enjoy the movie, instead of dwelling on and on about its imperfections. that is just a complete waste of time.


haha ohmy what a long post about harrypotter gof. jiawen's gone offline already, and she still hasnt spoken to me. rayrin's not speaking to me too, guess he's still mapling.. should i go and sleep? but im not sleepy yet lehs. haii. sian.
