Once again we made it. Potter-Watch on the first day @ Sathyam. Could not resist writing about it here though its very late now. I dedicate this to people(of course Potter Manic ones) who are so busy and yet to spare time for the dramatic end of HP saga.
Movie starts with a respectful burial of the FREE house elf Dobby. After which the Horcrux Hunt begins with a deadly deal signed with Griphook. Polyjuice potion of Bellatrix version(Hermione), rickety-tickety roller coaster drive to Lestrange's vault, mulitiplying cups at the vault, dragon flight escape from the Gringotts is the coolest part of the movie. However the trio loses the Gryffindor's sword to Griphook. The next operation is at Hogwards to sort out the horcurx related to Ravenclaw's house. On their way the trio encounters death eater's attack and were saved by Aberforth. Here Aberforth narrates the dark flashback of the greatest wizard Albus Dumbledore and his Squib sister Ariana. (Probably the director didn't want to highlight the gloomy stuffs of Albus Dumblebore. I felt this part could have been depicted well) The trio were then welcomed by Neville and farther by DA members.
DA members: Harry, what should be done next?
Harry: We need to find a thing.
DA members: Whats it?
My friends nearby (in sync): Ginny... lol..
Jokes apart now back to the real story.
Here was the director's touch in the movie. Harry was interrupted by Luna while proceeding to the Ravenclaw Tower to find how Diadem looks. In the mean time, all the students were called off to the great hall by Snape. This scene was a typical Tamil movie sort (Vaseee Meewhhh... Scene in Enthiran). Then Snape was sacked up by whole DA team lead by Prof.McGonagall. The whole Hogwarts is ready for the war. Harry meets Grey Lady and finds the hiding place of the Diadem, parallelly Ron and Hermi fetches the Basilisk fangs from the chambers of secret. Its now Hermi's turn to destroy a Horcrux. After which the trio proceeds towards the room of hidden things to find the Diadem. This scene depicting the fire accident, broomstick escape and rescuing of Malfoy & Goyle was a breathtaking one. Time to count few death toll. Fred, Lupin and Tonks are no more, Snape's chapter is closed by Voldemort himself in order to conquer the elder wand. Snape leaves his last memory to Harry. Pensive scene showing the half blood prince story could have been edited in a much better way. The main essence of Snape's memory is his love for Lily, care on Harry and finally revealing the fact about the last Horcrux is Harry himself. High time Harry walks to the forbidden forest along with the soul of his parents, Sirius and Lupin. Yes, Harry now owns all the 3 Deadly hallows for a short period. However, he drops the Resurrection Stone down and proceeds towards his own death. The green spell knocks Harry down to King's cross where he finds Albus waiting for him. Quite funny to see this part. I dunno y.. Better watch and find out.. Harry is given 2 choices, either to move on or to return back and fight the dark lord. Of course the story is not yet over. So he chooses to fight back. In this gap at Hogwarts, Neville kills Nagini using the Griffindor's sword. Hogwarts war 2.0 resumes, Harry returns back from his dream. Then comes the climax, direct duel between Voledmort and Harry. Harry's assumption about the elder wand is proved correctly. Master of the elder wand wins at last. Voldemort was thrown in bits and pieces.
NINETEEN YEARS LATER
At platform 9 3/4(real King's Cross), Harry along with his wife Ginny and daughter Lily Luna drop their sons James Sirius, Albus Severus in the Hogwarts express. Similarly Ron is with his wife Hermi & kids and Malfoy along with his wife and son were on the same platform. Movie could have ended by showing Harry's legendary scar, that is where it all began.
HP bids adieu to us forever. :'(
The whole HP in 99 secs is my new current mood video. Quite disheartening to see all the seven parts in just 99 secs
