Harry Potter (Quiazon)

A very interesting movie, Harry Potter. Actually, I just watched it yesterday at SM Clark. For another time Harry Potter proved once again why a lot of people are fascinated and even crazy about Harry Potter. Personally, before I was not really interested to this movie. I thought it was all boring and fiction. Well after watching it, I must also agree that Harry Potter is really one of a kind. Not just because of the effects, that is really nerve cracking but the story itself. Because of this movie it gives the positive perspective about withces, that “WITHCES” are not just the wicked ones that we knew. For me the best scene would be my favorite scene would be the Yule Ball. The amount of work they put into the background and props was amazing. When the camera came in through the doorway and took a full widescreen shot of the room. . My jaw dropped; like WOW! However, the poor scene for me was is that Gambon, who took over when Richard Harris passed away, has never really connected with Radcliffe. As a result, the pupil/mentor relationship between Harry and Dumbledore seems distant and amorphous. The final showdown with Harry and the wizard is unforgivably bungled, as Harry’s courage is held in check in the most contrived way.
Summing it all, the story was about; Snape is the new Defense against Dark Arts teacher. The new teacher at Hogwarts, Horace Slughorn, teaches Potions (Snape's old subject).
The Half Blood Prince is a name found in a used advanced potions book Harry uses that gives helpful potions tips and spells, one of which is extremely dangerous. The Half-Blood Prince turns out to be Severus Snape. Half-Blood refers to the fact that his father was a muggle (Tobias Snape) but the Prince part refers to his mother's maiden name (Eileen Prince).
Harry rightly suspects Draco Malfoy of being a Death Eater. Draco manages to sneak Death Eaters into Hogwarts using a pair of vanishing cabinets. Draco was supposed to kill Dumbledore, but finds himself unable to.
Dumbledore and Harry explore Voldemort's past, learning about Horcruxes, which are divisions of Voldemort's soul, making him immortal until they are all destroyed. There are Seven pieces of his soul (two already destroyed) including the one in Voldemort. Harry and Dumbledore try to get one, but the aftermath leaves Dumbledore weak and unable to fight off the Death Eaters.
It turns out the Death Eater that overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort (leading to Harry's parents' deaths) was Severus Snape. Snape turns up after Draco cannot kill Dumbledore and kills Dumbledore. Draco, Snape, and the Death Eaters escape afterwards. Hogwarts is probably going to be closed but Harry announces he won't be returning anyway; he will attempt to finish the work he a Dumbledore started, destroying Horcruxes so Voldemort can be destroyed.
Relationships (if you're into that): Harry Potter ends up dating Ginny Weasley, it appears that Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger get together, Bill Weasley and Fleur are going to get married, and Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks are also together.
I guess this movie are fitted for people aging 15 and above. The reason why I said so, firstly because of the language itself. Somehow it is quite hard to understand secondly, is because you need to focus well because of its really tricky. Every scene is puzzled and connected at the end of the movie.
