- No Spoiler
I am a Harry Potter kid. I found Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in my friend's house, and grew up with Harry. By the time Harry had defeated Voldemort, the SAT was over. Actually, I was very disappointed when Harry Potter first appeared in the movie. It was missing too much of the book and ignoring detailed setting, I thought Harry Potter(even at that young age) is hard to visualize it as a movie. However, this movie was okay because there was no original book to compare with. Especially, it was a good movie to remind Harry Potter kid of my memories. The magic spell, beasts, and characters remind the memories.
Because I know (and like) Harry Potter, I can not say without knowing Harry Potter that I can enjoy this movie. Nevertheless, the person who watched this with me does not know Harry Potter well, she seems to be able to see it without barrier.
Now to the movie story, in fact, there was nothing special about the movie itself. The story was normal. It was also the characters that made the ordinary story shine. In particular, the scenestealer was Jacob, an actor I thought he was a passing extra. He was a good supporter and comic roles to the main character. And I had a good breath with Queenie, the opposite actor. This breath makes romance cute.
Quiney and Jacob, the Romance.
It was also the beasts that enriched the movie. Beasts lead the movie and entertain our eyes. Most of the elements that cause laughter, in particular, are made by beasts.
Niffler, the cute.
There is not much else to mention. Video and music were not exceptional, but they were above average, and production was not bad. Imaginations and ideas are really good as the writer is the writer who wrote the Harry Potter books.
It was not a big movie. To tell you the pity, this movie is the cornerstone of the world view, just like I felt when I saw Dr. Strange, so it is unfocused. The foreshadow here and there are factors that make the next series expect, but they distract us from focusing on the movie itself. One more thing is that the author of the scenario is J.K. Rowling. I still felt different from the movie. She is the maker such a great world that the film seems to have failed to contain its vast plot and story.
To conclude, I am happy. Living in this era. It's a ridiculous conclusion, and I'm happy to be living in an era where I can wait for a five-part film about the world of Harry Potter. Especially, Cameo, who appeared at the end of the movie, waits for the next movie. I strongly recommend it to people who want to know about different times in the Harry Potter world. :)
