I never deny that I'm a die-hard fan, and I spent a few days before and after watching the movie reviewing the novel again, and at the end I asked myself, what is the purpose of watching this movie? I have no idea about the actors themselves, the plot of the movie is already familiar in the book, I don't think this is a commercial blockbuster (although it is indeed a commercial film), and I don't come here specifically to see beautiful and gorgeous stunts. In the end I understood that just because it was called "Harry Potter", my greatest curiosity was just a desire to see the original on the screen, to see how the director brought out the wonderful portrayal of JK. Rowling, to see how the director would The original is better. Well, at least in my mind, the film was a success, and many places were revised just right, and many places were cleverly deleted, such as Dumbledore's funeral, because the director understood that the original work was beyond perfection.
It's just that I lost sleep the day I watched the movie and I started thinking about the days when I started watching HP in high school and it was pretty much our only consolation. I remembered secretly reading books under the desk during class, discussing cheerfully with small notes during self-study, holding books at night and staying up all night. Back then we had fantasies about an owl who could deliver letters to the boys we had a crush on; we could have firebolts and ride out together during the holidays; we each assigned ourselves an academy where we wrote magic in our timetables The name of the course, or holding hands to buy clothes with the HP logo and wear them to the New Year's party... Dumbledore said it, it's good to be young, you are so young, you can feel the love that brings Pain. Those happy and childish times are gone forever, 10 years have passed, we grew up with HP, and we have gone through those restless and depressing days, which means that the people around us came and went one after another. Many of the friends who loved HP together at the time have lost contact. Thinking of these, I suddenly feel sad, maybe they will also think of a lot of things when watching Ha 6, and the me who used to sit next to them.
Maybe this is growth, many separations have to be faced, and no one can change it. When I watched the sixth part in 2005, I was in my third year, when my grandfather just passed away, when I saw Dumbledore leave, I would cry many nights. The sixth book has become my least favorite book. I dare not read it a second time after so many years. He is too tragic and sad, even a wizard can't change the fate of death, that gorgeous scene. The funeral becomes the most poignant part of the entire novel. It would be great if we could also encapsulate our memories like this, if we could never be apart like the three of them, I understand that fairy tales are always fairy tales, and we have to continue to face forward, then please Forgive us, when we miss it occasionally, we keep our childhood innocence.
Okay, the sadness is over, let me talk about a few aspects that I am dissatisfied with the movie:
1. The characteristics of the potions teacher Horace Slughorn are not shown at all. Whether it is appearance or character, the actor's performance is in the is too mediocre. In the original book, this is a more important character than Harry Potter itself. He was short and fat, a man who was greedy for enjoyment and pursuit of fame and fortune. He had a snobby prejudice against students. It was because of his obvious shortcomings that the wise Dumbledore could use Harry to get what they wanted. Things, he himself has a very important role on both sides. But when Harry stood at his house and persuaded him to teach, Slughorn didn't show the entanglement he should have, and a few intermittent conversations ended in a hurry, and at school, Harry didn't act right at all. The teacher's disgust instead made the professor look like a good person, and his few small gatherings also felt like promotions for outstanding students, rather than wanting to benefit from students.
2. The characters in children's literature are actually very simple. There will be a confrontation between positive and negative sides, and there will be complete good guys and complete bad guys. But there's only one exception to the entire series, and that's Snape, who is as elusive as a fan and is the real protagonist of the book. In the first five movies, Snape would roll up his sleeves to clean up Harry, beat Ron's head with a book in anger, and get a stinky face when he was cross-examined by Umbridge, the playful humor that made Snape's image Even more endearing, coupled with the aristocratic temperament of actor Rickman himself, Snape is definitely a bright spot in the movie, and he is worthy of the title of Half-Blood Prince. But this movie seems to ignore this point. He finally became a black magic teacher, but he didn't have a single scene of class. How can he reflect his desire for black magic? Halfway through, he was still helping Mag check the necklace and saving the injured Malfoy in the toilet. It wasn't that he killed Dumbledore in the end. He was a reliable and good teacher in front of Harry. But in fact, almost every time Harry saw him, he hated him even more.
3. The description of the love part is really a failure. The psychological activities of adolescence described by JK Rowling were not filmed by the director at all. Ron's love affair started out inexplicably, as if he was really in a relationship with Lavender and completely left Hermione behind. But in the original book, Ron took revenge on Hermione entirely because he was jealous. The quarrel and awkwardness of the young couple is the real funny point of the emotional drama, not the mentally retarded Lavender. This kind of humor is really like a soap opera. There is also the love between Ginny and Harry. In fact, the description of these Ginny characters in the book is very vivid. She is beautiful, strong and enthusiastic. She doesn't say "don't do it" or no to Harry like Hermione. Believe him, she knows what Harry wants, and is willing to support him unconditionally, and comfort him when he is most vulnerable. Harry felt uneasy when he saw Ginny, and only when Ginny and Dean broke up could they be together smoothly. But in the movie, when she and Dean kissed "happily" in the corner, Ron was unacceptable, but Harry felt quite calm, and seemed to have a feeling of blessing when watching them. He also made Ginny very frivolous, and started teasing Harry before her hair was dry and wearing pajamas. When they were together, they seemed to be suspected of cheating...
4. In the book, after Snape killed Dumbledore, there was a very exciting fight in the corridor, and the Order of the Phoenix and DA surrounded the Death Eaters, which was supposed to be the climax of the whole book. It's a pity that this scene was deleted. Snape and Malfoy escaped from the heavily guarded school with extraordinary ease, without encountering any Death Eaters or teachers. If Harry Potter didn't have a gripping duel, it would obviously feel much inferior to the movie.
5. The two Quidditch games are not enjoyable at all. The selection of the first game can be completely deleted but kept. The second final game can be played wonderfully, but there is not even a single scene of Harry. Forget about catching the golden snitch. It was a pity to think that there would never be another Quidditch match in the future.
6. Several gorgeous scenes in the Muggle world at the beginning are completely unnecessary. They are nothing more than some top leaders who want to calm the audience. In fact, they can be taken with one stroke. It is better to save some energy and financial resources to do the climax part. The girl in the Muggle world at the beginning of the film is completely unnecessary, making Harry like a nympho, and Harry, who has just experienced the death of Sirius in real time, can't live such a leisurely life.
7. The Marauder's map and the Invisibility Cloak are two very important things in the book, but they only appear once in the whole movie. I think it's either not mentioned at all, or just unfolded, otherwise it's completely inconsistent with Rowling's forbidden writing style. take. I am also a little dissatisfied with Lupin's acting skills. The third part describes Lupin as a thin, gentle and generous person. After Sirius died, no one would write to Harry, so he Expecting Lupin to give him some homey feeling, but Harry's quarrel with Lupin at Christmas really irked me, and I think it's a complete misrepresentation of Lupin.
8. After Daniel played HP, I feel that his acting career is coming to an end. He is not a handsome guy, and he really has no acting skills to talk about.
9. Ron became the biggest laughing point in the movie, which made me very dissatisfied. Ron and Harry have a very strong friendship. He will fight back at those classmates who mocked Harry and fight alongside him at critical moments. He is by no means a useless person. The man is not a clown either. The little actor's acting skills are very good. He played Ron exactly as I imagined. Now he is taller, stronger and more handsome than before. I believe he will have a wider road than Daniel in the future.
10. The soundtrack is terrible, almost nothing touches me, far worse than the first two. Although the movie itself is already very expensive, and they don't expect to win an Oscar, but the lack of a good soundtrack makes the movie a lot inferior.
Those in the movie that deserve to be praised, I think for these reasons, I am willing to ignore the shortcomings of the movie.
1. The scene of Harry and Deng standing on the rock is really good, more imposing than what is described in the book, and there is a feeling of being shocked. The flame that Lao Deng burst out after drinking the poison was so wonderful, it was so heart-wrenching, I was always amazed at how handsome it was.
2. The small battle in the Burrow at Christmas is not in the original book, and it was quite exciting. I like this part. Harry and Ginny are fighting side by side.
3. Katie was thrown into the air after being poisoned by a necklace. This is much better than the description in the book. Some awkward descriptions in the book make it difficult to imagine the scene at that time.
4. The description of Malfoy in the cabinet is much more detailed than in the book, and there is more space. Of course, there are some spoilers in it, which makes it easy for people to understand. Malfoy himself is also more handsome than before. Against his blue complexion and sick body, and crying in the toilet who couldn't bear the pressure, he couldn't hate him, but he felt so pitiful and his acting skills were not good. Very good.
5. That goth girl, the mad woman who killed Sirius, really caught my eye. She played those slightly neurotic looks and crazy wanton feelings that were not in the book. She lay in Snape's ear with ghostly whispers, and after sweeping Hogwarts, she walked away, compared to the mess in the hall. And loneliness is very impressive.
6. Careful people should have noticed that when Malfoy faced Old Deng and Harry turned around to find Snape behind him, Snape made a gesture to tell him not to speak, although I think it was a bit thunderous, Harry The fiery temper can't stay honest, but I think maybe the director is suggesting that Snape is protecting Harry, otherwise he can tie him up to meet Voldemort.
7. The memory of the Horcrux is deleted just right, there is no unnecessary wordy, and all the key points are expressed, which is very good
