About my Blog son

Okay, so I'm no professional blogger but, i think I'm pretty freaking interesting, sike. But for real I find cool shit on the interweb everyday now i can have it all in one place, right alongside the randomness that is my life... Be forewarned there will be an excessive amount of profanity at times, that's just how I feel

R.I.P Dobby...

If you have yet to see part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows I apologize for the title... Sunday, Kyra, my little sister and I ventured off to catch HP... (Side note, since when is a matinee ticket 7.50?) Having read all seven books at least twice I was well aware of what should have happened and the proper order of events... I understand that the book is 700+ pages but this installment is so rife with minute details that add layers of depth to the series, I was slightly disappointed, they left out the initial argument between the Dursley's and Harry, which means the timing of their respective departures was off... The fight scene in the air was missing a few key parts and Hedwig flying by was not how Stan Shunpike spotted the real Harry, it was the use of his beloved expelliarmus spell... The portkeys and separate safe houses were missing from the end of the battle... The left out the birthday celebration, the various instances that polyjuice potion was employed to hide Harry from the public...
The conversations at the burrow about their plans, Ronald's ghoul with spattergroit (which I REALLY wanted to see), Ron walking in on Harry and Ginny snogging... And where the hell was Fleur's accent?... I did thoroughly enjoy the image of George with his toothbrush sticking out of his ear wound lol... The days spent at number 12 Grimmauld place, and maybe I missed something but I do not remember Dobby arriving with Kreacher and Mundungus, though it was brilliant to see him more than once considering... I also felt the need for expansion of the conversations in their various camp sites and Harry's increasing paranoia to give a sort of comparison for Ron's... And the Potter watch radio broadcast as well as the conversations between holdouts of Voldemort's takeover which kept them abreast on some of the happening in the rest of the world... The dungeon discussions at the Malfoy's... Wormtail's magic hand choking him out for showing hesitation... The eye in the mirror was not as vivid and piercing as I had imagined either... I also really missed the white peacocks roaming the grounds of Malfoy manor...

I feel like I'm going extra hard on the directors and editors but you have to remain true to the novel if your gonna adapt it for a movie... Maybe I'm salty because I watched The Last Airbender movie, which completely MANGLED the Avatar series, which was damn good for a new cartoon...
