Ideas about the movie
From the beginning to the end of this movie, a lot of questions and puzzles come into my mind, for it is my first time to watch the serious of Harry Potter. I have no knowledge of it, however, I still catch sight of some charming scenes of this movie.
(1) Dark times VS. Love
At the beginning of the movie, the director tells us there is no denying that these are dark times, so the movie sets up a tense atmosphere. However, we can still feel the existence of love. In the Hemione’s house, her mother prepares a cup of hot tea for her. At this time, her parents sit together to watch TV. Then the director shows a lot of photos in Hemione’s home. All of those scenes extend us a harmonious family. In order to keep her parents’ safe, Hemione has to erase their memory using the magic “obliviation”. For my part, I think the love among them can enhance the courage of Hemione to fight for Voldemort. For Harry, when he watches the family of Dudley leaving away from the window, he feels sad. In my opinion, this kind of sadness is the reflection of love to friends and hometown. As a result, their battle with Voldemort is righteous.
Then in the wedding of Bill and Lotus, we are moved by the kiss between Harry and Genny, although the coming of Ron disturbs the romantic feeling. This kind of love is also the shinning spot of this movie.
(2) Virtue VS. Evil
At first, we see an entertaining “conference of evil” chaired by Voldemort, discussing how and where to snatch Harry. As the representation of evil, Voldemort says he must be the one to kill Harry Potter. To some degree, for my part, it is a kind of respect to his opponent. Then, in the next scene, Bathilda who is pretended by Nigini, a boa constrictor, plans to attack Harry. Form these scenes, we learn that Voldemort is full of wisdom too. In my opinion, the director want to tell us that evil can not defeat virtue at last.
(3) Hero Harry VS. Common Harry
It is no doubt that Harry is a hero, especially in the teenagers’ minds. He is brave. For example, when he finds the sword is not the true one, he intends to search for it although Ron leaves. He is considerate. After Ron leaves, Harry intends to cheer Hermione up, so he dances with her, listening to a beautiful song. At the same time, he is handsome. It seems that he owns all the features that hero ought to have. These qualities hold him in respect. On the other hand, he is also a common person. He could be ill. Sometimes he is cheated by foxy enemy. He also has conflicts with friends, such as Ron. When he quarrels with Ron, he feels depressed. All of those prove he is a common person too. We like him not just because he is a hero, but also because he is a common one who is related to our real life.
