Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

I have been a HUGE Harry Potter fan for many years...and as the movies went on I've noticed that they began to be worse and worse. I watched this movie in 2011 (when it first came out) and I was so excited on how the ending would turn out....but I just have to say...This movie was honestly the worst ending to a movie series ever. 1) At the end when Harry went into this "Heavenly Kings Cross Station" I just wanted to say "WHAT?!" So Harry died and then resurrected himself with the stone? But I thought he could only use it on loved ones? Excuse me? What even happened?! I'm sorry if I just haven't listened but I just don't understand. 2) Harry is so selfish! Tonks, Lupin, Mad-Eye, Fred, you can name them all! They all died for Harry. Just to save Harry Potter. Tonks and Lupin could have raised their child! All these people sacrificed their lives for him...and he didn't even say thanks?! What? I'd imagine him at the end when he killed Voldemort to say thank you! Without all those people...he wouldn't be alive. 3) The Malfoy's just walk away...and go home...like nothing happened? What!? So basically after Voldemort and his whole talk they just walk away?! They're traitors. I actually thought that Draco would stay when his parents called him out. It would've been a better ending. For example if he stayed and fought against the Death Eaters and were on Harry's side because he saved him, then I would've actually cared for the ending. 4) Harry saves Draco?! What!? So in his 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th years in Hogwarts Draco literally bullied him and his friends and family and made him feel as if he'd never get anywhere. So tell me. Tell me why Harry would save him?! Does he not count as a Death Eater? Ron had said after Fred's death, "I want to kill all the Death Eaters." Then why'd you save him?! 5) The 19 years later part hit me hard the most. Why? I was expecting more, honestly... Draco stands with his child and wife at the train station and waves to Harry like he's his FRIEND?! What?! He should have been taken to Azkaban for all the crimes he committed. For example, he being a Death Eater is an immediate alert that he should be sent to Azkaban. The second, he tried to KILL his own headmaster?! His whole family should have gone to jail. Don't ever say that Narcissa was a savior. She was a fraud. I just don't get it. This is why I'm so disappointed about the ending to this series. 1 star. It's horrible. I do not recommend this. And you're talking to a true Harry Potter fan who has read the books.

(Based on the play script) Things that I dreaded about this play script: "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." 1. In the alternate reality where Voldemort ruled, Snape was alive? Like what? How??? Snape would've still been killed by Voldemort. Voldemort thought that he was the master of the Elder Wand. So Voldemort killed Snape to retrieve it to kill Harry. Somebody didn't think this through. 2. Bellatrix and Voldemort. Bellamort. I-THIS ISN'T RIGHT. FIRST OF ALL, Voldemort, only wanting POWER fell in LOVE? Excuse me? Voldemort never got the concept about love. He didn't know love. And THEN, the two had a CHILD. A KID. Tell me how Delphi isn't a snake? Like Delphi would've been another breed. 3. Totally changing Draco Malfoy's character. No, no. Please don't come after me. I think that Draco was suppose to be a BAD GUY. He isn't suppose to be friends with Harry! This has nothing to do with him but how in the world is he paying rent for that manor? He's only a ministry worker! SMH. 4. Scorpius falling in love with Rose. THIS SHIP ISN'T RIGHT. Rose was so mean to Scorpius the first time they met. "hE's tHe sOn oF yOu-KnOw-wHo! OmG! DoN't gO nEaR hIm!" I literally hate that girl. They have to make her so involved in the story too! I HATE IT! GRYFFINDOR AND SLYTHERIN DON'T MATCH UP TOGETHER! 5. Harry being a horrible father. After years and years of abuse you still put it out on other people? What kind of father are you telling your son that you wish he wasn't yours? Well heck. That's sure a great way to say "I love you" to your son who is SUFFERING. Tell me Harry. DO YOU THINK THAT SAYING I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY SON TO YOUR POOR CHILD WILL MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER?! 6. Ron's dramatic character change. C'mon. An owner of a joke shop? Weasley's Wizard Wheezes deserve to be shut down! (R.I.P. Fred.) Since the original owners aren't there anymore, the place needs to be shut down. It ain't the same. They make him as a careless jokester who knows nothing! That isn't the Ron we used to know! 7. Not including other MAJOR characters. Luna, Neville, George, Bill! I can go on forever! Like at least put George in station 9 3/4 with his wife saying bye to his kids! Like that would've been more introducing! 8. Basing the book on Time-Turners. What? Weren't they destroyed in the 5th book? Legend says it that the ministry still has 1,000 hidden Time-Turners in Hermione's bookshelf. And Malfoy having a secret Time-Turner as well? That was NEVER introduced in the original seven. 9. Astoria? A Slytherin? No. I swear. That girl is a HUFFLEPUFF. A BIG ONE! Her traits show as muggle-loving and kind-hearted. She matches no traits for Slytherin! 10. Too short! How in Merlin's Name can you write all these details in like 200 pages? The details were sloppy and unexplained. I guess having multiple authors makes the book HORRIBLE. J.K should've wrote it herself. I SUPPORT YOU GIRL! 11. IF SCORPIUS IS VOLDEMORTS SON WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE HIS FATHER? HE WOULD'VE LOOKED LIKE VOLDEMORT! You might be wondering what I like about this. I like EVERYTHING else like Scorpius's humor and fun unlike his father, Albus being a Slytherin, Delphi being a villain in the end, Snape saying "Tell Albus Severus, I am glad he has my name" Yes, Snape. WE SUPPORT YOU! "Mischief Managed"

(LOTS OF THINGS ARE MISSING FROM THIS SUMMARY!) Rachel Chu is an Economics Professor in New York and has a boyfriend (Another Professor) named Nicholas Young. Nicholas convinces Rachel to come visit his family in Singapore. Rachel does not know how rich his family is. She is surprised on the plane there when they arrive in their first class seat. Nicholas explains how rich his family is...like billionaire rich. Rachel is surprised by this and thinks that being rich is such a dream! Rachel and Nicholas arrive in Singapore and meet Nicholas's cousin/niece/ I don't even know if she's a cousin.😅 They arrive into the city and eat (yes, stuff their faces) all the foods there. It is very comedic and entertaining at that part. They enjoy themselves, extremely. Fast-forward A LOT and we're at Nicholas's family reunion/party. While there, Rachel meets Nicholas's mother. His mother discovers Rachel's background. As Rachel talks about how her mother wanted her to work on her passion, Nicholas's mother talks about how her family puts family first, instead of passion. Rachel believes that his mother does not like her. Fast-Forward the second time, Rachel has some major problems concerning her relationship with Nicholas. Jealousy, You're-such-a-gold digger-, stuff. You know what I'm saying, right? Anyways, Rachel is EXTREMELY tired of it all and decides to like...break up with Nicholas. That all happened when Nicholas's mom had said to her, "YoU WiLl nEvEr bE aParT oF OuR fAmILy! YoU aReN't EnOuGh!" Nicholas surprisingly proposes to Rachel when they are in a big fight. (Really dude?) And yet as you were suspecting, Rachel doesn't accept. She books a flight home and doesn't plan to get back with Nicholas. Nicholas then proposes to Rachel right IN the PLANE. Yes. Crazy. Surprisingly, the ring in which Nicholas is holding is the ring in which his mother had. The family ring. And Rachel accepts. The story goes onto a HaPpY eVeR aFtEr. The End. (I know this was a HORRIBLE explanation.)

I really don't know where to even begin! This movie was excellent. The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry. I watched this movie ever since I was just a young girl. (Would scare me every time) This animated musical is the only musical that I'd ever liked. The plot twists in this story were phenomenal! Every Christmas and Halloween I'd ALWAYS watch this film. It was incredible.

To be honest this movie disgusted me. Like they make the cast look so young for their age. Greg and Rowley look so young (Aren't they suppose to be in high school or something?) And don't even get me started on Rodrick. They really had to put in this disgusting man? I'm not trying to offend this cast, they could be really nice people. But like why! These movies were my most favorite until now. This franchise was so amazing! But they really have to DESTROY the cast? I couldn't even watch ten minutes of this. I'm very disappointed. 👎

My favorite movie out of all the Diary of a Wimpy kid series. Greg Heffley tells about his summer vacation and his attempts to steer clear of trouble when he returns to middle school and tries to keep his older brother Rodrick from telling everyone about Greg's most humiliating experience of the summer. A fight between siblings. (Relatable) It clearly states the entire topic and nothing was left out from the book. (Kudos to Thor Freudenthal, Nina Jacobson, Brad Simpson, and Jeff Kinney.) Really, I do strongly recommend this film and the book. Great for all ages.👍
