Harry Potter and the Snarky Blog Post

I recently saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows - Part 2. It was an incredible movie, and those who haven't seen it should go do so now. In fact, the rest of this post is going to be about my experiences seeing the movie, so I'd suggest you leave now if you haven't seen the movie or at least read the book and don't want spoilers.

I'll wait.

Okay, now that we've got those losers out of here, let's get down to business.

The theater that I saw HP in was actually incredibly, incredibly full. Not only that, but the audience definitely got quite into the movie, "ooh"ing and "ahh"ing all the way. There's so much I can say about the movie, but you can read a normal press review for a lot of that, so I'll stick to the things that they're not going to tell you. That being said, you'll have to excuse me if I jump around a bit like a small cracked out child.

At one point in the movie, Harry has a revelation that he has to die so that Voldemort can die as well. Upon this revelation, Harry musters up all his courage and meets with Voldemort to accept his fate. Voldemort, quickly killing Harry, leads him to a new revelation we may all already be familiar with: The train station is hell.

Especially during rush hour.

Probably the part that I found most notable of all was the section in the final showdown where Hermione and Ron are trying to catch and kill Nagini, Voldemort's Snake. When Neville showed up and chopped off Nagini's head, the theater exploded into incredible applause. In fact, I think I'd be hard pressed to find such a positive reaction to man-on-reptile violence since the last time I played Super Mario Brothers.

Look at them: Staring one another down with true, undeniable malice.
To finish off the movie, they included the infamous epilogue, but improved it greatly by providing us with the normal cast made up to look older.

Or in Hermione's case, like the hobo sleeping next to you on the bus.
As much as I make fun, I loved this movie completely, and am looking forward to it continuing to break records.
