Harry Potter 7 review

Tell me, how many of you in here have seen the two latest Harry Potter Movies?
Now, how many have actually read it?
Ohh boy, you've missed the best book-serie of our generation. And as you might know, even if you havent read it yourselves – the books are superior to the movies.
1.
And If you havent been sleeping under a rock youve during the last 15 years youve mustve heard about the Harry Potter-phenomenon. Still, I must assume that you dont know who this four-eyed wizard is for the sake of this book review. This is the final book of seven books made in the series.

Summary
Harry Potter is a 17-18 year old wizard, capable of doing magical spells living in Surrey, England. . Harry who's been living with his uncle, aunt and cousin (surname Dursley) since a baby is now alone because they fear getting killed by a dark wizard named Voldemort. There's been a prophecy between Harry and Voldemort that when they confront each other, none of them will survive. It's a time of great peril and therefore the Dursleys are forced to go into hiding so that Voldemort’s gang, the ”Death eathers”, will not torture them for information, and Harry sets off with his best friends Ron and Hermione on a difficult quest to find and destroy the last of Voldemort’s Horcruxes. A horocrux is a part of Voldemort’s soul, which means that Harry has to destroy all horocruxes to finally battle Voldemort.

2.
JK Rowling, the author and mastermind of Harry Potter was born 31th of July, 1965. An interesting point why she made Harry Potter very poor at the beginning, he's poor because the Dursley's basicly didnt care about him despite they had a good income – is that she also was poor as a girl.

3.

(1.)Even though Harry Potter has very little with politics to do, JK Rowling is describing more or less that Voldemort and his gang of Death Eaters has a far-right political ideology, a nationalistic one that could be comprised with Hitler's politics. Voldemort's ambition is to kill all other people that hasent wizard-blood in them, because he thinks theyre not clean.

(3). Yes, just the fact that wizards actually exist and that they're organized is colliding with our own realistic non-ficton world.

(4). It evokes a feeling of what's right and whats wrong. As almost all fantasy-stories, Harry Potter follows the mainstream “conflict between good and evil” which characterizes all the seven books books. The antagonist, Voldemort, embodies evil and is a clear benchmark for the protagonist, Harry, to fight each other. This feeling symbolizes light and dark, day and night.

I'd like to to a comparison between Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings and Matrix. Harry, the main character didnt choose his destiny (to stop Voldemort), he's forced too because of the prophecy. It's the same with Frodo from LOTR, he's forced to travel to Mordor and destroy the ring because his relative, Bilbo, won it over a creature called Gollum – and years later Frodo received the ring as a gift. In Matrix, Morpehus tells Neo about The chosen one, a human with the power to manipulate The Matrix, who has been foretold to end the war between humans and machines, and says that he believes Neo is The chosen one.

    I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…

    Personally, I like the book better. The movie just doesn't give enough information. It leaves out so many details from the book that it just messes up the story line. Don't get me wrong the movie was a great movie but it just wasn't good enough. It needed more details than what it had. The little details is what counts the…

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone the book earned a number of awards, including a Booklist Editor’s Choice award, Publisher’s Weekly Best Book of 1998, and earning a top spot as both a New York Times and USA Today Bestseller. The movie itself earned many rewards, such as a Critics Choice Award for Best Live Action Family Film, and individual people on the cast and crew were also recognized, such as costume designer Judianna Makovsky, who won a Saturn Award for Best Costumes; Rupert Grint, who won a Satellite Special Achievement Award for Outstanding New Talent; and Emma Watson, who tied with Scarlett Johansson for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance in a Feature Film (Leading Young Actress). While the original audience for both the book and the film Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone may have been children, there is no denying that it has transcended that audience, and appeals to almost every audience. On a scale of one to five, with five meaning completely representative of the book and one meaning not representative at all, I would give this movie a rating of four. Having read the book first, the movie-watching experience was very enhanced. The book provides a more complete telling than the movie, and you are better able to understand what is going on in the characters’ heads. That is also why I prefer the book to the movie. Since they are not confined within the few hours of a movie, the author is better able to develop to develop the characters more fully, and consequently the characters are more dynamic and more…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don't have to. The audience, cannot, even for a moment, be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise, you can have a teenage Scarface.…

    In the books, it was more of a blindside when we found out Moody wasn’t really Moody, but in the movie, Crouch Jr. does a weird tongue thing that gives a major hint to the viewers. Additionally, House-elves were largely left out of the movies—there was no mention of Dobby until a later movie, no Winky, no Society of the Promotion of Elfish Welfare (S.P.E.W.). This book skipped over and shortened many more minor plot points (Quidditch World Cup, awkward Viktor Krum, Rita Skeeter as an animagus, the whole subplot about Barty Crouch Jr.’s back story, etc.), but to be fair, it was a large book to cram into a movie. And while many plot points were lost, the movie did add more depth and dimension to the scenes it kept. The first task of the…

    When I picked up the first Harry Potter book, I never imagined that the series would have such a profound influence in my life. The Harry Potter series by J.K.

Because of the series, I feel that I have discovered my true self and the way that I see myself in the world.…

    3) Yes, your a big fan of LOTR. You read the books..fine..you absolutely LOVE Harry Potter. Read every one of them...but can you please save ur comments till after the movie is done or whisper at least? And by the way, it says right there along with the credits.. "Based on the book 'blah blah'" or "Adapted from the book 'blah blah'" It didn't say anything about it being copied STRAIGHT from the book. The movie is obviously the director's and producer's interpretation. So get over it.…

    Harry Potter is the twelve-year-old protagonist and hero. He is famous within the wizard community for having warded off a curse from Voldemort, the most powerful dark wizard. Although this event occurred when Harry was only an infant, Harry managed to reverse the curse and take away Voldemort's power. Hary was left with a small lightening-shaped scar as a remnant of the encounter. Because Harry lived through a curse that no other wizard could survive, he is celebrated internationally. Harry does not remember these events, and because was orphaned by Voldemort's attack, he lives with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. These relatives do not tolerate any mention of magic in the house.…
