My Take on Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2
I'm waiting for the pasta to boil for my chicken sopas... and I suddenly feel this urge to do a Part 2 on Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2... :)
Hubby and I watched the movie last weekend, caught the last full show in a not-so-popular-but-still-digital 3D cinema (in short Starmall - Las Pinas. hehe). This was one of the few movies we watched quite early, since we usually watch a movie like a week or two after it premiered. But I have a soft spot for Harry Potter, so I wanted to make sure I get to watch it as soon as I can.
(By the way, we're really enjoying watching blockbuster movies there. No long lines, free popcorn and water, cool enough aircon, comfortable seats, and clean cinema. Not to mention it's just a 10-minute drive from home, parking space is not a problem, and there's a nearby 24-hour McDonald's and a Starbucks. :))
The experience was quite different for me and hubby, I had read (and reread twice over) the book, he hasn't. And for this particular installment of the Harry Potter series, reading the book made the world of a difference. Hubby enjoyed the movie for what he saw, I enjoyed it for what I knew the real essence of the story was.
