I've always been a big fan of J.K. Rowling since she released the first book of the Harry Potter series. And I was even more hyped up when I found out that they would be making a movie out of it. I've read the books so many times already, and have never tired of reading them because of how easy it is to follow the stories in it, on how much I enjoy reading it. And since I first saw the movie, I always had fun reading the books as I picture the characters doing the things that I was reading from the great books I have.
As most movies from a book, not all always follows what's inside the book, because of length and in some cases because of audience appeal. Not all Harry Potter movies was very great that I'd be going back to watch it the 2nd or 3rd time. But in most of them, I did watched again and again in movie houses and in DVDs because I really enjoyed seeing the characters that I have read about.
On July 12, 2011 at IMAX Mall of Asia, me and Angel had the opportunity to watch the premiere of Harry Potter. I can't help but smile all day when I found out from Angel that we were invited to it. I even had trouble sleeping the days that followed. Good thing she told me about it a week prior the premiere so I didn't had too many sleepless nights. The show starts at 8pm, but I was there as early as 5:30pm and found that the lobby of the theater had some costumes from the set.

Everything was perfect, the shots, lights, emotions, actions, I can only say so little about what I experienced because at this moment I am still reliving what I experienced earlier... It was by far the best movie I have seen in the Harry Potter series and I am so glad they did it that way. All the drama you would experience in reading the book would be nothing compared with what you would see and feel while watching the movie. Doby's grave... Harry's return to Hogwarts... And the final battle at Hogwarts...
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 is the only movie that was shown in full 3d from the Harry Potter series. They didn't wasted using the 2hrs of the movie to show you why it would be the movie of the year. And as the curtain closes, as the Harry Potter series comes to an end, I'll leave you with a quote lose to what Neville's last words were (watch the movie if you want to find out). ^_^
"Harry Potter might have come to an end,
but his stories would always live in our hearts..."
