Every time, I was one of those who reread at least a week before the show-date just so I'd know exactly what to expect from the movie - but not this year. I wanted to be one with the rest. Although I was looking forward to how they'd feature Harry, Ron and Hermione 19 years after, I didnt have the details in mind. I'd remember them only moments before the scene and the experience was exhilarating! Although I would not suggest it as a 3D film, this last flick is definitely not be missed.
Instead of a movie review, I'll have a list of my fondest thoughts and memories from and about the franchise. Knowing how capable my memory is, this presents quite a challenge. hehe!
1. Although it looks different now, my school breaks were spent trying out magic wands and putting the sorting hat on by frequently visiting their site:

2. Cedric Diggory died in the Triwizard Tournament but Robert Pattinson resurrected as the most beautiful blood sucker in Twilight.
3. The Potter-inspired 2008 Halloween Party at the office. I've come up with the wall and the dementors and I remember that it won an award! Buti na lang it paid off kasi I remember my friend Cha having to carry on a ton of black robes that went as part of props for everybody.
4. Since the Prisoner of Azkaban, I've always loved Bellatrix Lestrange - she was nutty explosive to her final duel!
Against a mother's love beating the most cruel of the dark lord's generals. Moments before her death, you'd hear Molly Weasley with my favorite line: "Not my daughter! You bitch... You will never touch our children again!"
5. I know my taste in men has always been odd, but between the main characters, I like Rupert Grint more than Daniel Radcliffe...
6. Of all Hogwarts classes, I'm most definitely interested in transfiguration, I'd love to be an animagus! Just thinking about conducting my calibration sessions or new hire presentations in a tiger's form is enough to make me smile...
7. From the clumsy freshman who always loses his toad Trevor, I never realized how well they've developed Neville Longbottom's character. Stand up and fight and drama ng lolo! I just wish he'd mature into something more papa-ble. Just look at his picture and you'd know he has potential...
And finally, I love the movie because it also echoes the life-long shout out ng mga becky.
Mark 12:28
"Love your neighbor as you love yourself".
Compensation and freedom of the house elves, respect goblin rights, equal treatment for muggles, equal rights for the LGBT!
haha! isingit daw ba ang pangsariling advocacy sa Harry Potter? But seriously, that's what it all means to me. Learning to accept those around us and treating them nicely kahit hindi mo sila kauri...
