I'm Happy after buyingThis Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Ultimate
Fair warning up front. This will contain spoilers from throughout the series, so if you are one of the few who have not yet watched the movies or read the books proceed with caution.
This is essentially one long (approximately 5hr) movie. The movie was split into two part s, which are both included in this set. The set contains both movies on Blue Ray, on DVD, and then two creating the world of Harry Potter blu ray discs, which finishes the special features that have been included in the ultimate edition versions of the movies. I know when Amazon was initially releasing this set they mixed up discs and were sending sets without the movies or multiple copies of the bonus discs. It seems like that has been corrected, because I received all the correct discs in my set.
The movies themselves are very good. They do cut and change some elements from the book. There was however no massive change between the books and the movie that I can remember. They do introduce a little sexual tension between Harry and Hermione in part I when they are stuck in the tent together, and even add a scene where they slow dance , but like the books noting happens. I really like they way they resolved the Snape storyline and revealed him not to be a bad guy, and the real reason he took out his anger with Harry's father on Harry is because he loved Lilly Potter. That played out pretty close to how it did in the book. Unlike in the Half Blood Prince where they cut out a lot of scenes about what happened between Snape and James Potter when they were in school together, and changed the fact that Harry was stunned and covered with the invisibility cloak when Dumbledore died, there were no wholesale changes to the story.
The final climactic battle was pulled off very well. While they could not spend a lot of time on the death scenes for all those who did die during the battle, I think the intended impact was felt. I really liked the scene between Harry, Ron and Hermione before Harry went out to the woods to face Voldemort. All the actors did a great job there.
Again there are no extended edition of the films. The deleted scenes are just available on the bonus disc. The extras are very good, and the documentaries and features are extensive. The amount of bonus material are as long as the movies themselves, so if you like watching bonus content, then this is worth picking up.
So I'm a Harry potter geek. Not afraid to admit that. Lol anyways what kind of dvd special features will it have? I'm hoping that it will have an extended ending. Like you get to see more of all the kids and stuff. Anyways if you know please help!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear what you guys think. And I can't WAIT until July!! I have the counter for the Order of the Phoenix movie and Deathly Hallows. :D Oh yeah, if you have a website with your predictions on it, either copy/paste or gimme a link. Cpoy/Pasting is preferred though. :P

ReplyDeleteI am a huge Harry Potter fan and this is probably the best movie of them all!
ReplyDeleteApparently it is a very good game and i'm thinking about renting it - is is worth it?
ReplyDeleteI'm an ultimate Harry Potter fan so when I'm older I want to get a tattoo of The Deathly Hallows symbol on the inside of my wrist. I don't want it huge, like the size of the round part on the front of a camera. That big. How much will it cost?
