Hello there! As a avid reader of the Harry Potter series, I was bracing myself to watch the film, sure that I would keep muttering under my breath 'that doesn't happen in the book!'. Hey, that's just me. But, to my genuine surprise,the film totally surpassed my expectations, especially with the scenes that weren't included in the book; such as Hermione bewitching her parents. That was such a painful scene, you could see that they had taken much thought into it. And of course, one of, possibly, the best movie scenes ever- where Harry and Hermione danced to Nick Cave's 'O'Children'. That was a heartrending bittersweet beautiful scene, signifying the missed adolescent of those two heroes. A lot of people thought it was a romantic scene, but I disagree. The way the film producers made sure that it was an almost awkward scene, with Harry's dancing (like how I dance!) made it beautiful awkward in a way. When I had read the reviews of the film, they all mentioned this dance and I thought it would be really awkward and tender (and plus I was totally adverse to JK Rowling's masterpiece being changed!) but it was wasn't. It was wonderful. In conclusion, Part One defiantly has a darker feeling to it than the rest of the films, and I really like the fact that David Yates chose to concentrate on the relationship between the trio. Especially when Ron was watching Hermione playing the Piano tenderly. Oh gosh, I've talked too much. Anyway, it was marvelous, a real achievement!
