midnight premieres usually aren't my cup of tea. long lines and overly crazed fans just aren't worth enduring to watch a movie that will be playing in theaters for the next two weeks anyway. but i have been a loyal customer of the harry potter midnight showings ever since the beginning and for a good reason. you would think that for a movie that requires so many special effects and editing that the book would turn out to be a lot better than movie such as the case for Twilight but it wasn't. the book actually considers the movie its equal. the actors match the description almost perfectly. the setting for the movie is spectacular. and the editing and special effects are insanely real. all of the harry potter movies have these qualities in common but the seventh harry potter movie surpassed the rest. everyone knows that it is hard to cap off such an amazing series especially if most of its characters are dying and to tell you the truth, i didn't think this movie would be all that great because of all the hype but boy was i wrong. i was mesmerized, scared, happy, sad...all in one movie. i will not spoil anything for those silly enough to not have read the book or watch the movie but let me just say this, i am so glad that this movie wasn't in 3d. not just because it is ridiculous that all the movies nowadays are becoming 3d even when it isn't necessary but because it was legitimately scary at times.
i am obsessed to the point that i want to watch it again when its not 2 in the morning and my eyes want to shut extremely badly so as to take in even more detail. this movie even satisfied the expectation of the crazy fan dressed as luna lovegood that sat in front of me, so it's safe to say that this movie definitely needs to be seen by everyone. lover of all that is harry potter or not. this is definitely cinematography at its best!
congrats to david yates and j.k. rowling for creating something so brilliant.
