Movie: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
Good morning everyone. Today I am going to give my presentation on the movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. I suppose many of you have heard of this famous movie franchise, or are quite familiar with, for in my case Harry Potter makes up a very big part of my childhood, and I am tremendously grateful for J.K. Rowling and the movie production crew for finally making this amazing movie that pretty much sums up my past ten years.
The question I am going to probe into today is this: What techniques in cinematography were used in the movie and what differences were there between the original novel and its adaptation?
Being the final installment to this heptalogy, this movie basically puts an end to the fight between the dark force, of course, Lord Voldemort and his troops, and the many wizards and witches in the wizarding world. The Golden Trio, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger are searching for the Horcruxes created by Voldemort, which are actually his soul fragments, so to ultimately defeat him and retain peace in Hogwarts and the wizarding world. The most important members of this award-winning cast would be Daniel Radcliffe, playing the curious, brave Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as the sometimes funny, sometimes courageous Ronald Weasley and our beloved Emma Watson, portraying the self-worthy, intelligent Hermione Granger.
Coming onto the cinematography, compared to the first movie which was relatively more faithful to the original, adapted word for word and dialogue for dialogue, the second movie loses out much of the details. The director David Yates must have aimed for a much more action-packed type of movies, and evidently he inserted many exciting battle scenes that made the movie in overall really entertaining indeed. There were also some heartbreakingly emotional moments surrounding the themes of sacrifice, such as between James, Lily and Harry, protection, or the motherly love of Narcissa Malfoy and Molly Weasley, and of course, the serene theme of death, in the case of one of my favorite professors, Severus Snape. The music and the lightings were very strategically used to create the appropriate atmosphere for every scene in the movie. Whenever the villains step in, there would be dramatic, intense music and when they showed Hogwarts in ruins, there is softer and calmer music. There were also some scenes of silence when you might be expecting soft violin music that allows the audience to think about what has happened so far in the movie. The use of lighting is quite similar. When Voldemort appears, it usually gets darker and dimmer to give off discomfort, and to frighten the audience, but when it comes to Harry’s victory, the scenes immediately shine with brighter lighting. Compared to the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, there is an obvious advancement in technology which allowed better visual effects, or as they put it, CGI which stands for computer generated imagery, which helps create the detailed, realistic magical elements, such as the moving portraits, staircases, the transparent ghosts, if you remember Nearly Headless Nick, the one-eyed Dementors and even Voldemort’s missing nose! However, though I am not comparing this to Avatar or Transformers, the 3D effects were almost unnoticeable in this movie, so if anything, go watch the 2D version so you won’t get a headache while watching the film.
As I said before, there are many differences between the books and their adaptations. Many scenes were cut short to accommodate shorter screen time. In the book, Fred died from an explosion during the battle, but in the movie, they had only shown his dead body in a stretcher, mourned by the remaining members of the Weasley family. There was Dumbledore’s back story in Harry’s limbo state that was cut short, so I never really got to see what happened with Ariana, which was actually Dumbledore’s greatest mistake. Snape’s interaction and love with Lily Potter was crammed into one minute of the movie and I only got to see some short scenes of it, though it was still a refreshing change to see emotion coming from the normally cold and composed Snape. Most controversial of all, Harry snapped and threw the Elder wand into the abyss, which in the book, he used to fix his Holly and Phoenix wand.
I should say, if you haven’t read the book and you don’t have an object to do comparison on, then you wouldn’t find the lack of some things disturbing as a reader would. Of course the movie as a whole was a great round up to everything, as it is the final film of this long movie series. I would say that although it is not entirely flawless, it was still a fun and enjoyable movie experience, and I would recommend you to have a look just the same. This is the end of my presentation, thank you.
