It was magnificent.

Rating: Null/10 (13 July 2011)

I've seen it and after reflecting on it, and indeed the entire series, I don't think I have very much to say. There are heaps of people who have valid criticisms with both the books and especially the films. Neither are perfect. I always thought the films were mainly targeted towards the existing fanbase as opposed to reaching out to an ignorant audience. I think the films can be forgiven, then, for not always doing the books complete justice. But despite those flaws and more, I was left deeply touched by the end of it all. And that's all that matters to me.
It's not a critique. I'm totally biased. And it's the 9 year old child in me telling me that. It's been a huge influence in my life. I was never encouraged to read or to write as a child, and the first Harry Potter novel was my first real exposure to any kind of literature. Because of that, I can't help but associate writing as being something magical and wondrous. My first stories were Harry Potter fanfics. I credit my love of English and my passion for writing to those wonderful books. So yeah. I loved the film. I love the films. I love the books. I'm a hopeless and shameless supporter. And I'm very grateful for the impact it's had on my life and many, many others. That is what, I think, will be remembered.
