The Good, The Bad And The Ugly Of Harry Potter 7
Posted on Thursday, November 25th, 2010 By Nikhil Taneja
Harry Potter, the boy who lived... long enough to spawn 7 books and 8 movies and third-class jokes like 'Hari Puttar', is alive again on the cinema screens. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part I is in theatres now. So is Harry Potter Aur Maut Ke Tohfe. For those of you who still haven't seen either of the movies because you think you are all grown up now and are too cool to watch children's films (Hermoine is 18 now! Yay!), well, here's the lowdown on what you are missing:

THE GOOD:
1. HERMIONE: Hermione’s all grown up (ahem) !! Emma Watson has turned 18!!! You are NOT being a Michael Jackson anymore for staring at her pictures lustfully now!! It’s totally legal to want her now!! Okay, well, it’s not like you were going to get her anyway (we still might, we are MTV!) but at least there are no legal implications (or prison) for being the internet stalker that you are (don’t lie, now).
2. Trailers: Yess………. Harry………….. Potter………….. Part…………… 7…………is…………… slow. EVEN slower than VJ Siddharth. SO slow that it’s like watching the SLOW-motion replay of the ENTIRE innings of Rahul Dravid’s batting. Okay, granted nothing can be THAT slow, but we literally slept for half an hour and woke up to find the movie at the SAME SCENE (confession: maybe we slept during the interval…).
But yeah, the movie has attached to it fast-paced, kickass trailers of Ryan Reynold’s (of Scarlett Johansson’s lucky !@#$ husband fame) Green Lantern, Liam 'badass’ Neeson’s Unknown, Owen Wilson’s Hall Pass AND some more small-budget Hindi movies that Warner Bros India has made, that no one will watch (but whose trailers are still worth the money for Harry Potter’s ticket!)
3. Scenery: It turns out this movie the Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai of the Harry Potter franchise. Hermione and Harry are alone (yes, he’s with her alone !@#$) in that lonely, deserted, breathtakingly gorgeous part of the world that you only see in wallpapers and email forwards. And the background scenery is SO beautiful that at times you actually get distracted from Hermione (blasphemy!!) and start planning your savings in your head so you can afford a trip there. (And if you can’t, there’s always that wallpaper to download!)
THE BAD:
1. Gollum FINALLY dies: Yes, apparently the ugly leftover-Hobbit weird creature-thingy, Gollum, survived the fall into the fires of Mount Doom in Lord Of The Rings Part III, so they brought him for a cameo in Harry Potter 7 to make sure he dies this time. Except, his name is Dobby, and he is an ugly leftover-elf weird creature-thingy (and yet, STILL more manly than Orlando Bloom’s Legolas AND better looking than Daniel Radcliffe’s Harry Potter). But yeah Gollum/Dobby dies, and your heart breaks, because that means he’s not the lead in part 8, it’s STILL Daniel Radcliffe!
2. The End: Yes, of course, it ends after what seems like a five-day test match, except with AC (and Hermione! Yay!), but there is no epic battle at the end to save the world, no Daniel Radcliffe dying, and no Hermione item song. We knew this was part I of part 7 but we were still hoping for some action! No, not THAT kind of action!
THE UGLY:
1. Daniel Radcliffe.
