The black smoke was in HP4, it's basically a different way for wizards to Appear and Dissapear, it was even in the HP8 game where you can do it with Harry, Ron and Hermione. About dark filters, the Deathly Hallows cinematography was perfect but it was ruined because of the backup color correction (except in the 3D versions, because the 3D cinematography has to be brighter so people can see the film with their glasses).

WB did the same thing recently with the new Godzilla movie:




Also, HP5 had a very colourful look, though ruined with the blue filters. And HBP had a old fashioned film noir look.

the number seven is present in all the books :
book 1: There are seven puzzles leading up to the Philosopher’s Stone:
book 2 : Seven entities were attacked by the Basilisk
book 3 : There are seven registered Animagi and The Marauder’s Map shows seven secret passages out of the school

So I really enjoyed the movie! It is still faithful to the book but with the obvious change and added scene to make a good movie. Only hardcore purist will complain but I was okay with it. The only disappointed I have is the dialogue. It is not that great but I was expecting it since the trailer. And Teresa is not that enough develop or feel important in the movie.

The movie is fast pace so there's no time to waist. The big scene that were important in the book are manage differently in the movie but still made sense. When they were already out of the maze I didnt want the movie to end already it past so fast!


The thing a liked most and impressed with was the sound effects! The maze noises, grievers!It is just so good! But you can still feel it was a low movie budget in some maze scene... I felt it really look like a set. But when its some big visual shots it is just gorgeous.

I really like how Wes manage the ending. It is different from the book but in a good way because it connect directly to the second book. And the last shot was just such a good tease for what's coming next and for sure they will need a big budget.

So yeah I feel the need to go rewatch it to give it a final rating and this time I will go watch it in IMAX. It was a good adaptation and I'm not disappointed of it.

I just have one burning question that I can wait to ask you guys and talk about after you watch it. Its the only change I'm really curious about.

"They love to hate, and I don’t care; let them hate. They’re still going to see the movie!"

Yates is a good director but I can't forgive him for Half Blood Prince, and Part 2 of DeathlyHallows verges on the sufficiency. Despite this, I have good hopes for the first film od Beasts. But that's it. We want new faces please WB!!!!!

This is what had me so disheartened when I heard the news of Yates. At the time, when I was young and oblivious I was in full fan mode "YESSS FANTASTIC MOVIES YAAAAS". Well, now that I'm older and wiser I sit back and I have to skip many parts of most of the films besides POA and OOTP. HBP Literally serves no purpose in terms of storytelling besides the final twenty minutes. I'll keep all these opinions to myself and If you love them all that's fine. This isn't a post to attack any soul, it's mainly for me to vent about the possibilities of the future.

This isn't all of Yates' fault however. There are the producers. David "lets cut this scene because it looks like its out of Saw" Heyman. More than likely David Barron - which as far as in interviews he comes off as a basic minded person along for the ride. The only thing that has me pumped is that Jo is writing this. I hope it ends up appealing to the masses and creates a new era of storytelling without a castle and trio. She has so many artistic liberties and freedoms that I do have faith in the writing because she has a complete hold on her creations. Granted this is her first time writing a script as well but I'm more than positive it will go well. I have faith in her. It's just the direction I'm worried about...and if they get talentless hacks like Nicholas Hooper (seriously. I never looked at his IMDB until today and how the fuck did he get handed the rights to HP?! "oh I've shot a few nature documentaries. I'm perfect" Give his tracks ten more years and they will be dated, not timeless like the works of Williams or Desplat) or the ever popular Mark Day. Let's not even go there.

I hope...I genuinely hope Yates cant hand over whoever he's worked with before again onto one of the biggest Book/Film/Etc properties in human existence. This is my point. Looking back on all of the films, there was such a potential for the highest of quality. I feel like we got that with parts of films 1,3, & 7.5. The rest I am not so kind on any longer. GOF and HBP are the worst in my eyes. I cannot even watch most of the films anymore...I don't know gang. Maybe I just lost touch with being a fan, maybe I grew up, maybe I just don't care any longer. The 1-7.5 series doesn't make me happy any longer. I've shouted out enough of my boisterous opinions on the matter. I just hope as the announcements for cast and crew start coming out we start seeing something fresh. Keep Stuart Craig, Desplat, and a couple of others. However if we get Hooper, Mark Day, etc then I will begin to get very worried. This is a new series so it should feel fresh yet a taste of the familiar. Please Yates don't fuck this up. lol
