This Muggle Loved It!!

I have been a fan of the Harry Potter series for the past five years. I began reading the books as per a friend's recommendation, and I couldn't put them down. After that, I began seeing the films on DVD. At first I was a little disappointed. The earlier films in my opinion couldn't quite capture each nuance of their literary counterparts' graphically detailed, and character-rich chapters, which I read frantically each night on the graveyard shift.
Although now I realize it is nearly impossible to go into every single detail of the books in a little under three hours. The Weasley twins alone, should have their own book. However, beginning with the Goblet of Fire, I feel the films have been doing a better job of capturing the stories, which have been growing increasingly dark since the third book, The Prisoner of Azkaban. With each book and each film, you could almost feel Voldemort begin to strengthen and Harry wrestle harder with the demons that haunt him.
I am giving special kudos to Helena Bonham Carter, Alan Rickman, and Ralph Fiennes, for their amazingly dark portrayals in the roles of Bellatrix Lestrange, Severus Snape, and Lord Voldemort. The entire cast was brilliant, but I have to admit, there is something strangely sexy about these three characters. It must be my dark side...I loved it!

Although I have fully enjoyed it's predecessors, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was by far my favorite. The relationships between Bella, Edward and Jacob have intensified; and the growing camaraderie between the vampires and the werewolves for the over all good of the town of Forks is inspiring. I think although these movies are geared toward the younger generation, there are lessons to be learned by all of us. Sometimes you have to put aside your differences for the good of everyone. And when you truly love someone, you can get through anything. Kudos to the cast and crew. I am hungry for the next installment!!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
