Harry Potter, the Adventure Concludes
Better watch out Muggles! After taking over the movie theaters last week the legions of Harry Potter fans are about to descend on your local bookstores. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the seventh and final entry into the series by J.K. Rowlings is scheduled to be released at 12:01 am on July 21. Many bookstores around the country are staying open late to hold Harry Potter parties and promote the book’s release. Will Harry die? Will Voldermort be defeated? Will Ron and Hermoine get together? Will this be a satisfactory conlcusion to the series? All these questions, hopefully, will be answered in a few days.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was all wrong, it felt more like a James Bond movie than one about a teenager trying to surpass some nasty obsticales just to grow up. So it’s with a melancholy tone that I tell you that this next Potter film is better than the last, but still falls far short of these stories’ potential.
Harry Potter finally gets a little style. Harry Potter’s 5th installment of the film is well balanced in acting, technique, mood and storyline, and is a complete joy to watch. I found myself more enthralled in the characters and their relationships with one another instead of being completely bashed with one special effect after another like the 4th film. The Order of the Phoenix kept a great balance with their computer-antics and maturity of characters. Harry has his first kiss, Ron is no longer the complete blubbering idiot, Hermione isn’t so girly and winy and plenty of screen time for characters that had such small parts in the past. Getting a few extra storylines from other characters like Sirius Black, Fred & George Weasley, Neville, Luna and Cho makes the film feel more complete and a whole than just focusing on Potter’s little group. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the best of the 5 to date.
