Movie Review catch-up

[knight_ander]

I haven't gone to the movies in a long time, and haven't reviewed one here in even longer, so since some of these films are coming out or are already out on video, I might as well let you know how I grade them, just in case you were waiting to hear my opinion to help you decide whether you should see them or not. ;)

I too was underwhelmed by Harry/Ginny the first time I saw HBP. And I still wish it had been done differently, but Felton's performance still moves me, and the other thing that snuck up on me in my third viewing was the wonderful Jim Broadbent and his portrayal of Slughorn. I find myself absolutely transfixed in the scene where he finally capitulates to Harry and passes over the memory-- the story about the fish that Lily gave him, et. al. I also found the performance of the actress who plays Lavender more and more entertaining with each viewing. I guess because the part was written so absurdly over the top, I'm impressed that she fielded it as well as she did. Her performance is actually funny. ;-)

So yeah, in summation, I love the HBP movie now-- for reasons utterly different than the ones I was hoping for.

Yep, Broadbent's performance was really good, too. Maybe if I had seen it more than twice I would have remembered that. :p
