Deathly Hallows (no spoilers here) I finished HP7 late Sunday night. I had neglected to stop my mail before going east, and I had feared that if my mail was stopped due to accumulation that the postman might not deliver my book from Amazon. I decided to buy the book at the Newark airport when I left on the day of release. My early arrival, the flight, the layover, and the next flight gave me a great opportunity to tear into the story. I read more during the day on Sunday, and then, after having an amazing rotisserie steak dinner accompanied by an '85 fifth-growth Bordeaux with my brother, returned home to finish the series. It didn't end how I had predicted to myself. I thought it was an excellent story and did a nice job of completing the tale. I have a minor nit-pick about the epilogue, but I otherwise enjoyed how it all came together. I saw the HP5 movie last night. It was good, but you just can't capture 850+ pages in only 2+ hours. Likewise, the CGI and special effects were great, but they just can't come close to the scenes that she paints in your imagination. I think 5 was the best book, but I don't think it was the best movie. |
Some parts true. Many made-up.
