The end of Harry Potter as we know it
Jul. 27th, 2011 02:02 amSo after The Quiet One, The Loud One. Having not read past book three, I largely knew the shape of things including the epilogue but it held a few surprises. Impressed at just how many callbacks there were to the start, most notably the previously footnote-y Chamber Of Secrets. But still apparently packing in new unheard-of characters at this late stage, tsk tsk. Dumbledore's family, f'rex. Hermione in a corset. A particular sequence just peculiar. A recurring character for five seconds. Wonky ageing makeup.
But still, getting them all done, largely as they were meant to be and sometimes pushing past the original ideas, is a bloody amazing thing, and we can be right proud.
I pity the poor sod who has to try and reboot them in ten years' time, with a main cast who are currently teething.
Trailers: a definite sign the audience is diverse. The Dark Knight Rises. Spy Kids 4. That Rock Em Sock Em Robots movie. The Three Musketeers. (My brain hurts.) The Smurfs. And then Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Not a bunch of trailers one would normally see together but they all make a certain amount of sense.
