Hermione's Forgotten Curse. Hedwig fell straight from the air. George's pun on holy sneer. Dobby's funeral. From beginning to end. From beginning to end.
David Yates finally did not let us down. I think the only thing that can replace the best film in the Harry Potter series in my mind so far is the "Death Hallows (Part 2)" which will be released next year.
Getting rid of the Hogwarts campus, which is sometimes inevitable, "Deathly Hallows (Part 1)" has finally become a road movie. When the three of them set foot on the long road that may not return, one after another familiar but unfamiliar scene suddenly came and hurried away. Even if you want to stay now, you can only turn around like this and wave goodbye, once at ease and warm. The Burrow and Grimmauld Place 12 can only be a respite. The former Gryffindor Iron Triangle had to face the shadows of doubt, betrayal, and humanity. Although it was not alone, its opponents were so powerful that they were beyond compare. It’s like a confrontation between the Fellowship of the Ring Team and the Mordor Army. Rowling admires Tolkien very much. Not only did he use the Deathly Hallows to reproduce the long journey of The Lord of the Rings, but you can even see the details. Shadow of the Lord of the Rings. The locket that caused Harry and Ron to lose control of their emotions was not the supreme ring on Frodo's neck, or the dark, uncontrollable desire and despair in everyone's heart.
Starting from "The Sorcerer's Stone", Harry Potter has described the power of friendship, courage, wisdom, trust and love. It's just that as many years have passed, the world has already changed its appearance.
The "boy who survived catastrophe" finally came of age, and the lightning-like imprint could be vaguely seen on his forehead, but the old boy had long been missing between his eyebrows and eyes. Even though he was responsible for the future of the entire magical world, his chin was spreading like weeds. Hu Stubble always reminds us that they are fleeing. The boy’s ironiest buddies are also full of traces of youth, once caught between the excellent brothers and the sister who was favored by the mother, the inferiority complex is not a taste, the child finally found the home of his destiny and feelings, I don’t know when The glib tongue of the learned let us remember that he is by no means a supporting role. And the Muggle girl who was smart, outstanding, confident and proud than the sky is still smart, outstanding, confident, and proud than the sky. However, among the best friends and favorite boys, she has always been injured. Facing her wounds, she always makes people feel sorry for her.
Yes. So when the film first started, when Hermione stood behind her parents, trembling with a wand and chanting "One Forgotten" in her voice, and she gradually disappeared from all the photos, I was already crying. From now on, my memory will be completely erased from this family, and my parents will look at myself as passers-by. What courage is needed in this to be able to say so decisively and sadly to my family in such silence. Farewell.
Even the style of the whole movie is like this. Sweeping the darkness of the previous two movies, "Death Hallows (Part 1)" is full of unprecedented grief and despair. Secretary Scrimgeour, who took office after Fudge, became a purely soy saucer, but it was nothing wrong to change the original tough and aggressive dialogue in the Burrow into a compassionate way of saying-as the Auror Scrimgeour, perhaps At the beginning of taking office, he had foreseen that he and the current Ministry of Magic would eventually fall under the dazzling green light of Voldemort and the Death Eaters, right? And Xenofilius, whose daughter Luna was taken away because of his support for Harry, wanted to hold Harry and hand it over to the Death Eaters in exchange for the safety of his favorite daughter. Although this betrayal is somewhat disgusting, however, Isn't this the sorrow of living in this era?
Everything is deviating from the past tradition. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry did not appear. The school teachers did not show up. The Quidditch game did not appear. Even Alexander Dispratt, who completed the original soundtrack of the movie, is consciously weakening the once iconic Hedwig theme. This one is completely different from the previous six. Even the beautiful and intelligent Hedwig died under the spell of Death Eaters in order to protect his master. A series of deaths that have never occurred before followed, so fast that people even had time to mourn these respectable lives. Until the end, until the end, until the last domestic elf Dobby was killed by Bellatrix, until finally Harry held a small funeral for this "free elf" on the side of the shell hut, and finally again The emotions that made people rush from the left to the right for two hours rushed out, venting the greatest sadness. Even Voldemort digging Dumbledore's grave could not dilute the sadness.
Whether it's emotion or story, Yates finally found the right rhythm, although it was after he had exhausted two whole movie trials. The design of the upper and lower two is enough to make people love and hate. What I love is that we can see movies with a more stable narrative, but what I hate is that we have to wait another year. But we are not in a hurry. We have seen the stunning "Tale of Three Brothers" in "Death Hallows (Part 1)", and we can slowly look forward to finally returning to the beginning of the story, in Hogwarts Magic The final decisive battle to be staged in the school. We can wait. The oldest and most conventional "love" has always been the reason for us to wait.
Since 2001, we have fallen into this dream, in which countless emotions and experiences have been recorded. But now, this dream that has lasted for ten years is finally about to wake up. While it is full of expectations, it is also full of nostalgia.
The dream will always end. And this gorgeous finale has just opened.
