aaargh so irritating yesterday i typed out this whole long thing abt the harry potter movie which i just watched..
shall hafta redo it *sighs*
okays.. was kinda disappointed in the movie.. metinks one should read the book after u've watched the movie.. i guess when u read the book u imagine for urself wat the characters and settings and all that are... and when the movie doesn't match up to ur ideals u get disappointed.. especially with all the publicity and hype abt the movie..
hmms 1st the casting.. harry potter was pretty gd.. just tt he's kinda tall for a midget as described by J.K. Rowling.. but he does look like harry potter.. hermione was gd too.. like her face:) quite pretty n sweet n cute.. but doesn't really look like a mugger *laffs*
ron looks kinda weird to me tho.. something abt his eyes. i'm kinda particular abt pple's eyes i guess:รพ
and he doesn't seem to talk very much.. and for a lanky guy he's kinda short..
snape was quite okay.. but he didn't look all that cold.. mcgonagall was gd.. the strict tcher n all.. dumbledore was okay but he didn't seem to be very endearing or watever u call it.. din smile enuff or sth..
setting.. the inside of the castle was great! din look very majestic at night when the 1st years were sailing towards it on boats tho.. but besides that everything abt the castle was so british and so cool:) the train as well.. n the moving pple in the portraits! was really nice:) great effects..
music.. that was the most fantastic part:) tho the soundtracks i downloaded all seem to be pretty much the same.. but the way one can use *classical* music to create that magical effect is wonderful:) especially the harp! i luv the harp sound:) rather unfortunate that its kinda normal for the harp to be used when every other instrument is playing at its loudest, can't really hear much of the harp..
props.. the sorting hat was so cute! :) but i guess i was nitpicking or something or i've read the book so many times [yeah out of boredom] tt i noe the details too well.. it -was- spposed to slip over the eyes of the 1st years cos it was too big..
oh the quidditch match was cool :) like wow! on broomsticks they're like speeding blurs, i have absolutely =no= idea how they manage to play at all!! but something irked me as well.. when harry caught the snitch.. he seemed to have fallen off his broomstick and the broomstick disappeared.. *poof* just like that.. a bit queer don't u think..
the troll was interesting. my mind didn't conjure up an image of a troll *shrugs*
kinda think they left out quite a lot of stuff.. but it was pretty gd the way most of the stuff was the same as in the book.. i guess if they'd stuck to *everything*, the movie wud haf turned out 1 day long.. but funny how it didn't seem like 2 n 1/2 hrs to me.. sppose time always passes faster when u're absorbed in something.. in fact it actually seemed pretty short to me!
well tts everything i can remember at the moment..
hais and i thot i could get out of getting sick for one year.. so sad!
hmph shall try harder nxt yr *grins*
being sick is so terrible.. pure torture.. feel terrible, can't do anything to get well besides waiting for the next day and taking medication or watever other crap
and why oh why can't my diploma results hurry up and appear in my mailbox..
can't believe i dreamt i got 77.. hahaha.. distinction.. hmm... i wonder.. i just wish they'd hurry up.. *grumbles* or let me quote claire.. *sulk* *pouts*..
sighs. its been like practically .. hmm.. practically 3 months!! *ready to tear my hair out*
speaking of which my hair desperately needs cutting. and a new hairstyle.
