The Final Harry Potter Movie

This week I went to the theater and saw the final Harry Potter movie.  Darrell is trying very hard to be my knight in shining armour and volunteered to take me.  He took me to see the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows movie when we started dating a year ago.  That is when I discovered he knew absolutely nothing about Harry Potter.  The poor man was lost from the very first scene.  I did not have the heart to put him through two hours of confused boredom so I went alone.  Truth be known a part of me wanted to go alone anyway.  I had read the book and wept when some of my favorite characters were killed.  I prefer crying alone, especially when crying over ficticius characters.  For this reason I had considered waiting for the movie to come out on DVD and view it privately where my tears could flow freely.  OK, I'm a big sentimental sap.

The final movie was true to the book as best it could be in the time alloted.  After all, the book was 759 pages of supernatural thrills.  There was simply too much detail to put in two movies but I must say the movie directors certainly put forth a great effort.  The final confrontation between Harry Potter, The Boy Who Lived and Lord Voldemort the evil wizard who wished to rule the world was everything we love about the big screen.  Lots of heart racing, bone chilling drama. 

Yes I loved every minute of it.  There was only one little bitty tiny disappointing moment in the movie for me and it probably didn't bother anyone else.  I personally felt a little more time could have been spent explaining the actions of my favorite character, Professor Snape.  The movie did an adequate job but I love the acting of Alan Rickman.  I think he is the very best villain Hollywood has.  He is the villain in the Robin Hood movie that stars Kevin Costner.  I have the movie on video and love to watch only the scenes Alan Rickman is in.  I prefer those scenes even over the naked butt of Kevin Costner when he is bathing by the waterfall.

I have considered going back to see the movie again but I'll probably just wait for it to come out on DVD.  I wonder if there is a Alan Rickman fan club.  I'm going to have to check that out.  If you haven't seen that particular Robin Hood movie, you really should check it out.  Alan Rickman is great!
