SPOILER and Review: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Everything Ends

SPOILERS ALERT!

don't say i'm selfish or tactless or anything like that for posting spoilers on my own blog, when the books have been published for four freaking years.






on 14th of July 2011, finally, i've witnessed the end of it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.




wearing this yo!




and tomorrow i'm gonna watch it in 3D!
*update: i've watched it 4 times, not enough, not enough*



‘Go on, have a pasty’, said Harry, who had never had anything to share before or, indeed, anyone to share it with. It was a nice feeling, sitting there with Ron, eating their way through all Harry’s pasties and cakes.



i've cried, i've laughed, i've been angry, i've been crazy, i've been depressed, i've been happy. it's so hard to believe that was it, two short hours, so quickly passed by, and suddenly the lights filled my eyes.

i wiped my tears away when the fans applauded and a group yelled "Mischief Managed!". i applauded a lil bit late, and smiled to myself.

i was there, until the very end.







now i'm going through Post-Potter Depression, don't feel like doing anything else. after this review post, i'm gonna post a farewell (how i came to love it and all) post and a post featuring my merchandises (hehe).





now, the magic begins.


The Battle of Hogwarts

was awesome. you know what awesome is? no you don't, until you see this one.

yes i know some of the previous movies didn't live up to our expectations.

not only because they didn't include so many parts and plots, and changed some essential ones, but because of the lack of actions and wand fights and everything that boys like. i had no complains because the emotional stuffs were enough for me, i'm a cry baby.

but this one, EPIC.



It Does the Book Justice

some plots were clones of the book, that i even remember the lines perfectly and mouth them along with the characters.



The Kiss

THE FREAKING KISS WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR SINCE THE 2ND MOVIE WHEN HERMIONE REFUSED TO HUG RON AND BOTH AWKWARDLY SHOOK HANDS.



‘It’s no wonder no one can stand her’, Ron said to Harry as they pushed their way into the crowded corridor, ‘she’s a nightmare, honestly.’





tutup mata, jangan tengok lama-lama lololol who am i kidding







i was a bit disappointed because... wait, that was it? that was only it?

where's "there was a clatter of Basilisk fans cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet."?

where's "'Is this the moment?' Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. 'OI! There's a war going on here!'"

where's Ron's "I know, mate. So it's now or never, isn't it?"



maybe it was best that way. they both had privacy, unlike usual, Harry's forever with them. and it was sweet, they laughed afterward. it was quick, well there was a war going on, wasn't it? but people say the kiss was actually longer, maybe they cut in some countries. and i've actually seen a gif of the cut part, so, yeah.


when they kissed i was "finally!", with a hand around my mouth hiding my big grin.



Goodbye Severus

god good god tears on my cheeks like whaaat. maybe because i knew what was coming, remembering the chapter i've read four years ago, and reread so often i lost count.





i'm glad Snape actually said Harry's eyes were like his mothers. even in the book, the foreshadowing was subtle. in the book Snape only said "look at me", before he died. it showed he wanted to look at Lily's eyes before he was gone, to look at those green eyes which had caused him so much pain, caused him to change, cost him everything, and cost him his life.




this scene shows how Harry was truly a boy with a golden heart. he hated this man all his life, for bullying him, giving him extra assignments, giving him detentions he didn't deserve, for being a jerk, for hating him and his father, and even more so for killing Dumbledore.

but still, he came to Snape who was struggling with dear life, and put his hand on that man's wound, trying to stop the bleeding even though he knew it was too late. and Harry's face, was priceless. it didn't show all the hatred and rage he ever felt. it was compassion, sympathy, and he was feeling sorry.


but Snape moved no more.



All Those Deaths

giving me no chance to calm the heck down, there were those bodies lying on the ground.






i want a longer scene when Fred's body was surrounded by his family members, and i want to hear Molly mourning, i want Mr. Weasley to rub her hair, tears streaming down his own face, i want Percy to kneel besides his body, and George to bury his head on Fred's chest, and Ron to walk slowly towards them, eyes wide opened with shock, trembling lips, and i want Hermione to follow him, to go to Ginny who was standing alone sobbing, who upon seeing Hermione, hug her and just cried her eyes out on Hermione's shoulder.


and Harry standing a few feet apart all by himself, having no strength to take another step.



because that's how i've been imagining it all these years.



when they show Tonks and Lupin's bodies side by side, almost holding hands, it was sad in a beautiful way. and others who died fighting, or who were the victims, rest in peace.







The Prince's Tale


WAS BEAUTIFUL. BEAUTIFUL.

it might not tell precisely, unlike in the book, how was Snape living his life and who he really was, what he had felt. but it was more than i expected the movie could do.





my hands covering my face, my tears were cold.

imagine being a boy who liked a girl, been friends with her even before you started school. when you both were enrolled, there was a group of jerks with the ringleader often kicking your arse all the time, making fun of you. the girl actually fell in love with the ringleader, and later get married and had a son. you were cut into pieces, and you joined the dark side. your boss killed your girl and his husband, but their son now, was the boy who lived. you felt remorse. you wanted to die. you were already dead inside. you went to the good side's leader, and poured out all your heart. you swore to protect your love's son, even though he looked like his father, his father who was mean to you. but he had his mother's eyes. so you protected him. but no one should know, only you and the leader. the rest of your life was spent being the good guy who pretended to be the bad guy who pretended to be the good guy. you were a double agent, a spy, whose life was at risk all the time. whose life ended with everyone's hatred.






imagine. and cry.





it was a beautiful scene, and Alan Rickman did it beautifully. that's why i've forever been in love with this old man.




Don't you look at me like that!
don't you know for a man your age, it's a crime to make a girl blush?!



DAN'S ACTING


this time, he really WAS acting.




Ron: 6 Months she hasn’t seen me and it’s like I’m Frankie First year. I’m only her brother… Seamus: She’s got lots of those though. She’s only got one Harry
Ron: Shut up Seamus


you can see it on his face, it was really something that we never saw in previous movies. looking at his face itself made me feel the burden, when he saw Ginny, when he saw those dead bodies, when he learnt who Snape really was, when he knew he was the horcrux, when he knew he had to leave Ron and Hermione on the staircase, give himself up, and die.



The Epilogue

WAS SDBFSFJBJKSLBFJLSFSFBS.

tears of happiness this time, especially to see my friends, all grown ups and had kids of their own. and Harry, oh Harry. boy you surely grew into your look as you aged. don't get me wrong, Dan is handsome. but Harry, sometimes he could have looked better.

why were you so handsome, 19-years-later Harry? WHY?




“You were named after two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin, and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew.”





i was afraid at first they would mess up The Epilogue. would the make up be too fake? would everything be ruined? but it was not.


it was perfect.




All was well.







i deserve a round of applause too, don't i? :' )
