Harry Potter

Yes, I am blogging about Harry Potter, but it is the one movie that I go within the first 2 weeks of it coming out. Movie 6 was really good, but probably the one that varied from the book the most. I am re-listening to the book so I can remember how different it was. I love to listen to the books on tape. (The reader is Jim Daley, he is fantastic.) Some people say it's the best one so far. I don't think so, although it was really good. I think that goes to book 4 (my opinion). Other people have complained that it differed from the book too much. Any one who has read a book and then watched the movie form of it is usually disappointed in the differences, but it doesn't mean the movie isn't good. I would have liked to have seen more similarities, but once again in a book there is no budget or time restraints and so on. In a movie you have to try to keep it to around 2 hours (it was longer) and try not to break the bank. I am glad I just get to enjoy the finished project. A lot has been said that the Christmas segment didn't need to be in the movie. While I agree that it didn't add anything to the movie, it was nice to not know exactly what was going to happen. Having read all the books there really isn't much surprise in the movies so when that unexpected thing happens it is kind of fun. I knew no one of importance was going to die, but was someone going to get hurt or something else. All-in-all I really liked to movie and can't wait for the DVD to come out.
