  • Essay / The Harry Potter Series: It All Ends - 1041

    The journey all began when JK Rowling, the writer of the Harry Potter series, published the first installment of her wonderful tale of The Boy Who Lived, and is went further by writing six other classics. I'm afraid to say that the films didn't receive the same appeal until the end. Manohla Dargis, a writer for The New York Times, highlights this problem in relation to the Harry Potter film series. She says, “With only about two hours of story, the films were forced to sacrifice chunks of their material” (Dargis). Steve Kloves, the screenwriter of Harry's latest adventure, could have made the film much better; instead, it overlooks some remarkable details of Rowling's work. Even though they didn't film everything, Hornaday, a Washington Post writer, assures us that "the Harry Potter films...the simple illustration of a story...will always be better captured in the imagination of readers." (Hornaday). If anyone has read the books and watched the films, I think their perception of the film will be better and they will know the true beginning and end of this well-told saga of witchcraft and wizardry. Nevertheless, Harry Potter comes out with a flamboyant finale in Harry. Potter and the Deathly Hollow, Part Two. This long, eventful film filled with exciting actors, incredible battles and brilliant camera angles, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II shines with glorious battles, drama and romance. It's been ten years, and I've watched the films (I've also read the series) grow and develop over these eight installments of the Harry Potter series. The franchise isn't the only thing that has grown, so have the actors. This latest film shows careful details and has more effects that will leave the viewer wondering "I...... middle of paper...... Owling's final Harry Potter book such as it should rightly be shown, in a powerful and magical finish. Works Cited Dargis, Manohla "Class Rejected." July 15, 2011, New York ed., Section C sec.
