Originally, we expected JK Rowling to keep writing a new novel. We critically criticize how the film does not match the original.
Now, at the very end, after the release of the next episode of the seventh installment, we finally realized a problem: This time, it is really over. We never get a chance to see a continuation of Harry Potter, whether in words or in film. We don't even get a chance to complain about the emotional entanglement of the characters in the book, or how something in the movie doesn't fit the book.
Because it's really the end. We never have another chance.
So, we prepared tissues and walked into the cinema with some kind of anticipation and fear.
Surprisingly, there aren't many annoying departures from the original in this one. Although movies adapted from novels are always more or less criticized, in this final sentence, it is indeed unexpectedly perfect. Of course, this does not mean that there are no plots that do not conform to the original, but that every inconsistency is surprising and gratifying. This made me feel very depressed after watching Ha Qi Shang.
The beginning of the film introduces us into a tragic and tense atmosphere. The gray sky, Dobby's grave, seemed to have foreshadowed that the war was destined to have countless deaths.
And then in Gringotts, when the three of Harry left in the dragon, they did a good job. I have to mention that the Hermione-like Bellatrix (or we could say Bellatrix's version of Hermione) is also quite interesting. At this point, Helena's performance can't help but smile.
Then, soon entered Hogwarts. Harry and DA met, and in the auditorium, Harry's words to Snape made the audience with low tears start to take out tissues for the first time. Those of us who already know the plot can easily spot the subtle changes in the professor's expression. And when Professor McGonagall attacked Snape, we could also find that Professor McGonagall kept backing down.
Then, destroy the Holy Grail, the crown, and then the three of Harry go to the screaming shack (it seems more like a greenhouse in the movie) to find Voldemort, which is almost the same as the original.
The highlight of this paragraph is that Professor McGonagall, the professors, and members of the Order of the Phoenix applied a protective shield to Hogwarts, and the Death Eaters who had already been outside the castle cast a Destruction Charm on Hogwarts, and were then blocked by the protective shield. The segment effects are nice. The Death Eaters' Destruction Charms were like fireworks. The protection of Hogwarts is also very handsome. This part is better than the effect in the original book, especially the grandeur of the huge armored man blocking the castle, which pushed the film to a climax.
Then the film goes to its most tragic moment, the death of the professor. The second tear. I think this episode is more touching than the original. After the professor was bitten by Nagini, he did not show the professor's embarrassment positively, but showed it sideways through the constant rolling of the professor's shadow and the painful wailing. After he had preserved the last self-esteem for the professor, it was even more distressing.
In the end Harry held the professor's head, and the professor was in tears. Rare scene.
"Put it in the Pensieve." A tear left the professor's left eye, and a trail ran across it.
After Harry collected his tears in a hurry, he said softly:
"Look at me.."
and then,
"Your eyes are like Lily's."
This is a sentence not found in the original book, and I personally think it is more touching after adding it.
For a long time, the professor's eyes slowly closed, blocking the emerald green that he could no longer see.
Then when Harry and the others returned to Hogwarts, they found that Fred, Remus, Tonks, and more people they didn't know had lost their lives. The battlefield was bleak.
The victory of a war is eternal. And this war is not over yet.
Voldemort made his final announcement, "Harry Potter, come find me in the Forbidden Forest. Otherwise, every man, every woman, and every child here will die because of you." The
situation became more and more urgent.
Harry came to the headmaster's office and read the professor's memory. In this section, the innocent childhood of little Lily and little Severus is portrayed very delicately and warmly. Green grass, flying butterflies transformed by magic, red-haired girls, and handsome teenagers, the warmth of that summer seemed to be the best memory in Severus Snape's life.
Then Snape's memory told Harry the whole story, scene by scene. From the professor crying while holding Lily's body, and the professor summoning the same Patronus as Lily, saying "Always (same)", to finally Harry knowing that he is going to die here, there are always tear-jerking points.
I liked the part where Harry made his way through the silent, ruined castle after he got out of the headmaster's room.
Although every step of this young man was extremely slow, he never had a trace of hesitation and regret.
Then he saw his best friend. He stopped. He said he was going to find Voldemort.
Then he seemed to have a relieved smile, and said to Hermione: "I should have known it long ago. Hermione, you should have known it too?" He did not explicitly say that he was a Horcrux that would eventually be destroyed, But everyone present already understood.
Ultimately, Harry refused the company of his friend, "Kill Nagini," and turned firmly, slowly leaving Hogwarts, toward the Forbidden Forest, toward Voldemort.
Arriving in the Forbidden Forest, Harry first opened the Soul Recovery Stone in the Golden Snitch. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus all showed up. The portrayal of this family is very touching. The author will not repeat them one by one. It is similar to the content of the original book, but it is especially tearful to put it here.
In the end, Harry was hit by Voldemort's surroundings and came to the King's Cross platform to talk to Dumbledore.
The content is roughly the same, the only bright spot is that when Dumbledore turns to leave, Harry stops him.
"My mother's Patronus is a doe, and Snape's Patronus is the same as my mother's, isn't it weird?"
Dumbledore turned around and smiled slowly: "Well, that's not surprising isn't it ? right?"
Then he turned and walked away.
The design here is not in the original, but in contrasting the character of Snape, I have to say, it is very brilliant.
In the final battle between Voldemort and Harry, the two fell from the tower, then stumbled to the ground, grabbed their wands, and shot magic at each other, one red and one green. One is the death curse, the other is the disarming curse. Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron, and Neville killed Nagini together. The destruction of the last Horcrux greatly damaged Voldemort's magic. His green light gradually faded, and finally, it collapsed like burnt ashes.
The warm scenes that follow will not be repeated one by one. Nineteen years later, Harry, Draco, and Ron look disillusioned. Fortunately, the children are still cute.
All in all, this is a movie that is still deeply moving after watching it.
This was indeed the last film, marking the end of Harry Potter. But who can say that this is the end? For those who love it, Harry Potter never ends.
I thought so.
Someone said:
"When I'm 80 years old and sitting in my rocking chair. I'll be reading Harry Potter. And my family will say to me,'After all this time?' And I'll say, 'Always' ."
It has been ten years of traces and ten years of heart, and before you know it, the sky is bright.
