Look at the heading. It says Harry Potter festival, because this month is the Harry Potter festival. It says 1 because I am writing about the movie to be released soon. The last book follows just after. So for all those true Harry Potter fans who have like me read the books a million times, the movie holds no suspense, except for the acting, visual effects, and in some cases Harry's first kiss. To be released on 11/7/2007 world wide, I feel sorry that I will be able to see it only on the 13th of this month. Still no regrets, I have never missed the first day first show of any of the Harry Potter movies in India, so I guess I have proved my weight in gold as to being a rock solid fan.
While I am just one person, there are a host of people, maybe just like me, whom I am afraid I can't challenge to being the biggest fan. Harry Potter is far too popular. I also read somewhere about this kid who had learnt the Harry Potter books by heart back to front and recited the whole of the first chapter in front of JK Rowling.
Talking about the movie sensation, I guess every Potter fan knows that Doleres Umbridge is the character to look out for in the fifth movie, and the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermione which gets an additional three members in the form of Luna, Ginny and Neville. Apparently Cho Chang will also have to appear on the screen for some time. It remains to be seen how much stuff from the book is cut off in the movie, especially since Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix is the largest of all the books and the movies have always had to cut off plenty of stuff before. There is a saying, "Never trust a book by its movie" and most Harry Potter fans will agree that the movies fall well below the expectations of the book, but that won't stop them from rushing for the first day tickets any time.
Which brings us to the books, last of which Harry potter and the Deathly hallows is set to be released later this month, and in my opinion is the real Sensation, the real secret, the real suspense. So for all the Harry Potter fans out there, enjoy and lets hope that Harry Ron and Hermione make it safe and alive out of Deathly Hallows.
