Casual Chat: Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows, Part 2
The last Harry Potter film just crossed the billion dollar mark at the box office. So we both thought it was a good time to finally post something on this blog again and so why not talk about what we each thought of the final film of the boy wizard?
Aki: So… Harry Potter 7 or 8 or 7.5?
Ryan: Well, the official name is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2, which is just all kinds of long
Aki: Seriously.
Ryan: Where to begin?
Aki: Snape was so hot. Like I almost can't believe it.
Ryan: Well, you're very much into suffering men, so that wasn't such a surprise.
Aki: Yeah, but the crying... sexy.
Ryan: I thought the crying was a bit too much myself. Felt a bit forced.
Aki: No way, he was breaking down. He was a person for once... not just a frowning idiot. So sexy!
Ryan: Sure. I just wished they did a better job in previous films setting it up, but I guess that's not REALLY the fault of THIS film.
Aki: They made him a hard-ass in all the previous films and books with a very strange pedophilic obsession with Harry. Now we know why. Because he cries and he’s sexy! Kind of…
Ryan: He's definitely a complicated character, but I rather the reveal had been a bit more organic. Now, I personally think Daniel Radcliffe has never been better.
Aki: He was good. I didn't like how he was smiling at the end walking through a makeshift hospital full of dead and dying people. I was like, okay sure, your 7-8 year ordeal is over, but have some respect!
Ryan: I don't quite remember him smiling. But if he was, then it was probably more to the effect of “HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY MADE IT OUT ALIVE.”
Aki: Moving on, I AM disturbed that Harry Potter is constantly being called the film (film series) of our generation. Especially when Harry Potter’s world is so dangerous.
Ryan: It’s a series that’s been around for nearly two decades in book or movie form, so it was bound to be called that. Plus I don’t think their world is more dangerous than ours.
Aki: Magic is way more dangerous than terrorists!
