Harry Potter 4 Review

Warning: Spoiler ahead.


"Bleahz, Boys"

Ok, that's just Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, not the full cast. But she's my favorite witch of the story. Professor Snape queues up second as a wizard, not witch though. I was trying to look for a full Hermione Granger in pink dress and flourishing her charming smile to pin up. But there don't seem to be any such picture around in the web. Emma Watson has become much prettier since.

The show was pretty good, but the storyline portrayed was jerky. Perhaps reading the book before watching the show is a requirement for smooth understanding of the story. It is not easy when you've got to start memorizing their incantations to know what the wizards and witches were casting (Eg. the torture curse). For the amount of intricate details, or lack thereof, the show lasted pretty long. It felt as if the audience is being hurried through an extremely long story, thus the resultant effect of the storyline feeling jerky.

The villian gloating syndrome was rather pronounced, coz a couple days before the show, while watching The Chamber of Secrets, my brother complained that Harry Potter had gloating villians tell the story, filling up the gaps of what really happened. Usually they will fail to do what they want to do after telling the story.

I guess reading the book is really a neccesity. Or i would be hard pressed to know what.. now what his name.. the Hogwarts principal.. anyway, i won't know what exactly he was pulling out of his head to put into the pool of water.

Another thing is that Harry Potter was supposed to be using a wand that was once used by Voldemort (See Philosopher's Stone). Weren't they suppose to be sharing a wand? Unless Voldemort stopped using Harry Potter's wand to use another wand some time in the past, then this would be a considerable linker error.
