harry freaking potter

i am a mass communication major. what the hell am i suppose to do with that? the major itself is so broad and although that may seem like a good thing because i have a lot of options, i find it frustrating. recently, i've been really thinking of what i want to do in the future but all i could think of was stuff that i like to do. music, dance, write. sigh, sometimes i feel like a failure because all my interests do not add up to having a successful, well-paying job later on. why oh why can't i have fallen in love with science, math, or business? but then again, money doesn't mean happiness and i believe that as long as you are doing what you have sincere passion for and the means of obtaining the things necessary for living isn't too hard, you're doing okay. having calm myself down with that logic, i am comfortable saying that at the moment, i want to be a music/the arts/food critic. something along the lines of that? not your usual "i want to be a doctor, police officer, or teacher" response but screw normal. what better way to practice and establish my credibility than on my blog right? i thought so! so here goes.



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.
