Sanma Akashiya’s “Karakuri Terebi” held a contest last month in which 10,000 of Japan’s biggest Harry Potter fans competed for a chance to travel to the UK and interview the stars of the new Harry Potter movie. As it is a comedy show, they intentionally picked the strangest fans as finalists. A girl named Kana was the grand prize winner, and here are partially subtitled clips of her meeting Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) and Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). Source: Japan Probe
Good movie, questionable adaptation.
I enjoyed the movie for the most part. It’s weird seeing these kids/adults grow up physically and as actors. I remembered not liking Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy) in the earlier Potter films but he really outdid himself this film.
The only disappointments I had with the film were I wanted more Alan Rickman (Severus Snape). Since he doesn’t have many big scenes in the final book, I was kinda bummed that some of his parts from the book were cut (like his interrogation of Harry after he uses the spell on Draco). Also, I don’t think the final confrontation was paced very well. I don’t want to get into too many details for fear of spoilers but the big death in this film felt less significant than the deaths from the last two films.
I can’t wait to see how they do Deathly Hollows.
