grimorieJust came back from the fourth HP movie, I'm glad I didn't read a lot of reviews on and offline so I came in without being influenced by another person's opinion. So... my general impression. It was great and better but I think, my heart forever belongs to the third movie.
PoA is, for me, a more personal movie. I loved the cinematography and how *real* Hogwarts felt and how Harry and his friends were acting like real students.
And I'm so glad Mike Newell adapted all the elements that made me fall in love with Cuaron's PoA, I love how Harry really is a reluctant hero, that he gets scared but you can see that he *is* a hero.
I don't remember who said it in LJ but someone observed that Harry was a different kind of troublemaker than James. James loved to make trouble, Harry on the other hand attracts trouble. But despite everything all the trouble and the scorn Harry still does the right thing.
I love that Newell decided to make this more of an ensemble show, we get to see Neville grow and the character developments. I love we have more twins.
I love the emphasis on friends and how the ending highlights the ending of the sixth book. The trio against the world. Speaking of the sixth book, I really think Snape isn't a traitor to Dumbledore, especially with his actions in this movie.
And strangely enough, my Harry is movie!Harry (at least the 3rd and 4th movie versions of Harry), rather than book!Harry. Here you can really see he is intelligent and really he is just a normal boy.
Am I making sense?
I love how everything's getting serious and dark, and I think this is hte first time I got really teary-eyed in a HP movie.
Plus, Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort? Works. Wow.
