HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS PART I MOVIE TREAT

Harry Potter &  the Deathly  Hallows is the last book written by J.K Rowling. The making of the movie was split into two (2) parts. Part I was released by Warner Brothers and showed in different theaters worldwide simultaneously.  It earned an astronomical amount of $61.2 on it’s first day of showing.

 Staffs and some agents were swarming like colony of ants at Cinema 3 in Gaisano, Ayala. We were waiting restlessly, my legs aching (due to floor walking) outside Cinema 3. We were engrossed eating our snacks while piling up. Very eager to watch the movie. I saw bigwig of Qualfon, like Alfie Torres, Pacito Revil, Natalie Mamites, Noelle Parnada, Elvie Po, Mary Diongon, etc.  It was past 3:00 pm when we were allowed to enter Cinema 3. The movie was supposed to be 3D (I didn't feel it that way). 3D is a three dimensional film or S3D(stereoscopic 3D) film motion picture that enhances the illusion of depth perception. The archetypical 3-D glasses were not provided to view the movie, nonetheless, I was enjoying with gusto. I realized it was not 3D actually but Cinema 3 D.Meaning to say , we had to sit not  at the lounge area. D means downstairs. That was stupidity in me.  I sat between Mike Gatchalian and Dianh Aguinaldo. As we waited for all sorts  of puffery advertisements and movie trailers to end, pigments of imaginations were circulating in my mind. Where will the adventure of Harry Potter bring me? How will my mind traverse to magical world of sorcery and witchery?  How will the story ends (when I read a book I started reading at the end. Truly Pinoy)? How in the world J.K Rowling has this kind of imaginative and inventive mind? I do believe others were wandering their minds too even bring them to other dimension.

The movie tells us about:
"The Elder Wand," he said, and he drew a straight vertical line on the parchment. "The Resurrection Stone," he said, and he added a circle on top of the line. "The Cloak of Invisibility," he finished, enclosing both line and circle in a triangle, to make the symbol that so intrigued Hermione. "Together," he said, "the Deathly Hallows."
    —Xenophilius Lovegood[src]

The Deathly Hallows are three highly powerful magical objects supposedly created by Death and given to each of three brothers in the Peverell family. They consisted of the Elder Wand, an immensely powerful wand that was undefeatable in battle; the Resurrection Stone, a stone which could summon the spirits of the dead, and the Cloak of Invisibility, which, as its name suggests, renders the user completely invisible. According to the story, both Antioch Peverell (owner of the Wand) and Cadmus Peverell (owner of the Stone) came to bad ends. However, Ignotus Peverell's wisdom in requesting the Cloak was rewarded.

According to legend, he who possesses these three artifacts would become the Master of Death. Dumbledore told Harry that he and Gellert Grindelwald took this to mean that the uniter of the Deathly Hallows would be invincible. The story of the Deathly Hallows was originally told by Beedle the Bard and subsequently passed from family to family as a wizard fairytale. Few wizards ever realized that the Deathly Hallows were genuine items.

Harry Potter is the only known person to have owned all three Hallows. The Cloak was handed down to him from his father, and the Stone was left to him in Albus Dumbledore's will, hidden inside a golden snitch. Potter never made use of more than two Hallows at once; by the time he took physical possession of the Elder Wand, he had already dropped the Stone in the Forbidden Forest, never to be seen again.
The movie was a real cliffhanger. Packed with action, comedy and magics. . The part that I screamed loudly (ahhhhhh) was when Harry Potter and Hermione Granger were almost bitten by wide-mouth and large fang  anaconda snake.  I could have died of heart attack if I have a coronary disease.  Mike Gatchalian was surprised by my high volume of scream. Sorry Mike! I was stunned and scared that both of them would fall under the trap of the half-blood Prince, Lord Voldemort.  I noticed that Daniel Radcliffe had showed his humor shtick that made the viewers laugh.  Romance bloomed too.

The denouement of Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part I was not reach yet. After the movie, we feel so "bitin".  The evil plots of Lord Voldemort has just begun. The story of the Book 7 of J.K Rowling will continue in Part II. While we are gaga over "Twilight Saga", we are also looming for Harry Potter's last book. We all know that in the story, it is always the good that will surmount the evil.

Thanks by the way to the tickets.......you made our day HAPPY! We deserve to unwind sometimes. I wish more will come to give us enthusiasm to do our job (,")

  1. nice review...

    ironically, HP7 is supposedly "darker" than its predecessors but it is nice to note na mas naay "humor" kani xa nga movie adaptation.

    for some, the storytelling of HP7 might be boring or dragging but that's the way it is supposed to be. It was trying to give us the feeling na ingon ad2 ang na feel sa mga characters at that "dark and difficult times".

    can't wait for the part 2
