Harry Potter is Made of Lolz

Harry Potter amused me, that it did.

Throughout the movie, I saw a wizard reconstruct a completely wrecked room, fixing everything from broken mirrors and chandeliers, to floors and upholstery. A school-level witch fixed Harry's broken nose. And yet, no spell to cure short/long-sightedness? Poor Harry. Guess he's stuck with those glasses for awhile.

[SPOILER ALERT]

There was this one scene where I almost expected them to burst into song. Alan Rickman, Helena Bonham Carter and Timothy Spall in the same room. Sweeney Todd, anyone? =P

It's also amusing that a person can fall multiple stories from the Astronomy tower, and yet his body remains perfectly intact when he reaches the bottom. No snapped limbs, no protruding bones, no blood. I'd post pictures of actual people after they've fallen from a great height, but I'd hate to make you lose your lunches.

And Gollum was cloned. Or did he find a mate and breed? That was a LOT of Gollums!

And it escapes me why Malfoy would plan for months and months to sneak the Death Eaters into the castle, only... to do what? Malfoy and Snape together were responsible for killing Dumbledore. What did the rest do? Watch them kill him? Blow up Hagrid's hut (the owner of which was conveniently not in the hut at the time, although it was the middle of the night)? Ah wait, that was just Bellatrix. The others just watched. And where did they mysteriously vanish to after that?

I thought it's like super hard to break into Hogwarts? Why make all that effort, just to watch someone die, thrash the place a little bit, and then leave? =___= Poor Malfoy. All that work.

Note that I haven't read the books in a loooong time, and have therefore forgotten most of the story. But I'm pretty sure that there was a lot more from the books that was left out from the movie. Although you can't blame them, the book is super-thick, and there's no way to include everything!

That said though, the movie was a fun watch. A lot of the scenes were really funny, with Ron mostly providing the comic effect. And the CG was awesome! I definitely wouldn't mind watching that again, best Harry Potter movie yet. Beats Transformers: Revenge of Megan Fox's Boobs any day.

In other news, my dad logged onto Aris' school's online portal last night. Not only could he check the exam results, he could also see in detail what Aris answered for each question, what he should have answered, etc etc. It's like every moment of Aris' school life is recorded on that page. Next thing you know, they'll start installing webcams for parents to monitor their kids when they're at school.

Wow. I'm so glad I went to a regular public school.
