I love Rubies Costume Mrs Santa Gray
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.
Wig is great! Using it for the 100th day of school celebration with my class!!! The kids are going to love seeing me dressed up!!!
ReplyDeleteThe added benefit is that it fits like a stocking cap. We were out in the cold and it kept my head nice and warm. Stayed on place. It was better than I expected it to be (especially for the price)

ReplyDeletemy wife looked good in it, Its nice for the money, there were some stray hairs towards the end of the night. You can get them to stick with a hair dryer on high, it will heat the hair causing it to stick together.
ReplyDeleteI bought this for my 9 year old daughter and it was perfect. It fit well and has a really nice look. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteWe purchased this wig for a halloween costume. While you aren't going to fool anyone into thinking this is your real hair, it is great for a costume. The wig is much better made than the ones we saw in the costume shops and at local stores in the halloween aisles. Shipping took two days, so not bad. When the wig arrived everyone had to try the wig on for a laugh, and it fit my head, my husband's head and my 10 year old daughter's head. We were very pleased with the wig. It is a little shiny but that wasn't a problem for us. It really made my daughter's costume. We would highly recommend!
ReplyDeleteBought this for daughter for school and it looked great. It arrived when it was expected. Great wig for price.
ReplyDeleteGreat wig, we used this for my 5 year old and it fit a little loose, but worked great. She used it to be the "little old woman" in the gingerbread man play. We got many compliments on the wig!
ReplyDeleteDont be fooled by the price, this is a great wig....it arrived extremely fast and is good quality. Perfect for costumes!!!! Great vendor!!!!
