The Harry Potter month :: movie and the book

Submitted by hpn on July 12, 2007 - 19:21
Truly *the* Harry Potter month. The latest movie is getting released tomorrow in India, while there were screenings today for the press folks. Lucky press folks - if the movie is good, unlucky them if it isn't. :) Roger Ebert has given the movie a 2 and 1/2 rating, while many other reviews range around the same. [:http://www.hbosouthasia.com/southasia/movie/2016|HBO has been airing some special programs] with a visit to the sets of the latest Harry Potter movie. I caught up with one episode of this the other day at my friend's place, and it looked purely promotional (oh, right. What else should we expect?). Apart from one or two stuff (like the sets they used for the Privet Drive, the Fireplace at common room and Grimmauld place) there wasn't much of how the movie was done. Something more about the computer generated effects should have colored it up. ******* There have been various versions of Potter fiction floating around, some of which have already taken their place with many as the real one. Those who've read the other books can easily spot the fake. ******* Maybe because I started reading Harry Potter when I was in college, I'm somehow addicted to it and much curious to know what the last one would be about, like several other million plus readers. A day or two about to be snatched away this month reading the book of fantasy, I must be an idiot for having pre-ordered the book. :P
