Harry Potter HBP may have been in the theaters for a weeks by now, yet I still have things to say.
This should probably be the last entry I made on this, unless I read some more reviews and have things to bring up.
Let's start by saying this, "I'm glad that before I watched the movie, I read some good reviews and ratings." I'm an easily influenced person, however, that does not means that I've no spine. It's just that I take people's opinions seriously, too much, sometimes, that it jeopardises my enjoyment of things.
After watching HBP, it's surprisingly good. As I said before, it's so much better than the last 3 films put together so it's great in my book. This is my honest opinion, without anyone influencing it.
However, I don't know what's the reason, perhaps my perspective of things, bad/not-so-good reviews began appearing. It bugs me, get on my nerves at times. Everyone has the right to say what they want. A coin has two sides. I, too, have the right to stop reading all their thoughts. So, why am I giving myself a hard time, I have no idea.
I can always just click the red X.
Perhaps, I like to read their opinion on things. We're readers of the books afterall. Perhaps, I want to see how different people from different countries see things differently. And it's too tempting to let it pass.
Anyway, this thought has been swirling inside my mind for quite sometime, I just don't have the inspiration to put in down.
My opinion has not changed, and I've got to stop reading reviews about HBP. I mean it this time. The film has been made, what opinion of it doesn't matter.
If for any reason, I can always rely on the books to keep me happy, which reminds me of another issue.
I found out that actually there's a part, I don't know how big, of the readers that hated/dislike Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows the books.
It renders me speechless, really. I thought the 2 books are nicely done and the plots are intriguing. Yes, there are times when it got a little "out-of-hand". But this is fiction!
If there's a book I didn't quite like, it is Order of the Phoenix. It's a little long and draggy for me.
Oh well, an author can't please everyone. That is why I don't put my ideas in public. I'll just keep mulling over it, if someone criticise my work.
J.K Rowling gives us some great books to pass the childhood years. It's been nearly 8 years since I started reading Harry Potter. I grow up with the book series, pre-ordering the books months before the debut.
For that accomplishment, a toast for her, for her imagination, for her courage.
Sighing off.
