So, yes, bit film out tonight which I've just been to see.
Now, what was it again... Something to do with someone who carries bags with a big beard I think.
Ah, yes,Hairy Porter Harry Potter
So, the first 5 films seem to have basically been formulaic Holywood blockbuster, take the book and emphasise the dramatic battles and magicy stuff type films. The first 2 were just a bit of fun really, 3 kind of fell apart at the seems, but then they got it back again with 4 and 5 and managed to add a bit more drive.
This one however is a completely different beast. Out of all the books, the 6th one is probably my favourite as it's a lot darker and opens up a lot of unanswered questions, so I was a bit unsure about getting more of the same treatment. However, they've actually done something interesting with it and as a result this film adds so much to the original story.
( cut for spoilers )
In short, I was utterly impressed.
