Went to see the latest Harry Potter movie on Saturday evening & somehow (magically perhaps?) it made two hours seem like five! A slow plodding movie for the majority of the time, perhaps seeking to look at the relationships between the characters rather than concentrating on the wizadry, left me feeling bored. The only things of interest in the entire movie was amusement at the fact that each of the characters now look about 5 years too old for the parts they are playing (they'd better get a move on with the last 2 movies), and as each scene passed Harry looked more and more like Bibbs!There was also a striking resemblance between Dudley Dursley & one of my former Uni housemates...
I've also just finished reading the book - the final installment in the series - Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows. Much, much better than the movie with a good blend of character development & plenty of action to keep the characters busy. Although, the epilogue is so sickly sweet that it makes you want to hurl. I won't give away any of the plot (it wouldn't be fair) but would definitely recommend it if you've read the previous books, and the ending might come as a surprise to some.
