Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Another Harry Potter movie was out earlier. This time, the movie was divided into 2 parts directed by David Yates, written by Steve Kloves and based on the novel of the same name by J.K Rowling. I guess the special part of this movie was the two parts that the director intentionally planned.

The movie depicted the last chapter of the Harry Potter stories. This time, Voldemort came back with more power and allies to murder Harry in order to use Harry’s blood to regain his full strength. In order to prevent Voldemort from fulfilling his evil wish, almost the whole wizard world rose against him to help Harry to find the solution to defeat Voldemort for good. Throughout the journey, a lot of truths were revealed and plenty of doubts were clarified. Nevertheless, the first part did not tell the full story and the readers had to wait for the second part of the movie in order to comprehend the full story. What is the ending of the story? That is for us to find out in July 2011. For those who missed the first part in the cinema, try to get the DVD before watching the second part, or else you will be quite lost while watching the last part of the movie.

Food for thought

I guess the loyalty and selflessness of Severus Snape in this movie impressed me a lot. IN the effort of bringing down the evil lord Voldemort, he sacrificed his life and also his reputation by becoming a spy in Voldemort’s camp. When everyone else was accusing him, he persevered on with his duty risking his life so that one day the evil forces could be wiped out from the world.

Living in this world that focuses so much on reputation and status, that kind of noble and action is rarely found. I suppose most of the people would rather die for good reputation than die of no reputation. In the process, it was bad that a lot chose the deviated path in order to gain their so called “prestigious” reputation.
