After a year of waiting, its finally here! Today I queued up for an hour to see the long-awaited film of the 6th installment of the Potter series. As an avid Potter fan, I expected a lot from these films, having loved the books and been slightly disappointed with the early HP films.
I have to say, this film doesn't disappoint. It has everything you wanted from a Potter in it, Quidditch, romance, violence and more. I laughed at the awkward comedy of the great British cast, and was at the edge of my seat during other points in the film.
I really really loved this film, I thought it was great, and the effects were unbelievable! Right from the beginning where we see the Millennium Bridge destroyed until right up to the last few minutes of the film (no plot spoilers dont worry!) the animation was flawless and so real looking!
The directors have played around with the storyline a little, but I definitely think this was necessary to give the characters more depth, and the film more of a product in its own right.
My recommendation: if you are a Potter fan then this film is a must, but even if you aren't, its still a great film and very entertaining!
I am so jelous that you've watched it! I have heard a few really good reviews about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure what I will think of all the love stories going on, but i suppose that's because I haven't read the half blood prince book so in my head I see something else.
I was watching a behind the scenes of half blood prince on the weekend and they showed the amount of work that went into destroying the millennium bridge. They filmed there for a hours and reconstruct their own CGI of the bridge and water.
Its amazing the amount of time and work that goes into a 30 second scene..
I cannot wait to see it!
Thanks Tash, we've only just got back so haven't managed to see it yet. We will deffo be going soon. I am also an avid Harry Potter fan (sad at my age!!) having read all the books so will look forward to seeing it.
