Dobby Deserves a Trophy

The time has come! Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 is now out on DVD! I have already watched it numerous times even though its only been out one week. So this is going to be my little mini-review of it.

I got the special 2 disc edition of the DVD and that is available exclusively at Wal-Mart. I do not have a Blu-Ray player, otherwise, I would have gotten that one. Anyway, on the special features disc, it has got some good stuff!

Additional scenes are always my favorite thing! There were some that I agreed did not need to go into the movie, but there were two that I really wished were in the movie. One explains how Voldemort's name is a trigger to find Harry and another is a special moment between Ron and Hermione. I wish the movies played up Ron and Hermione's chemistry more, and this scene would have been perfect! But I also think that it's what sets this movie franchise apart from others. It seems that almost every movie ever made revolves around love or has love in the plot as a large part of the film. This movie focuses on other aspects and love is focused on more between family and friends.

There was also a behind the scenes look at how they made the seven Harrys. That was awesome and educating to watch. If you love movie making, you definitely need to watch this! There are also other features including off the set with a few actors and some more behind the scenes on certain scenes such as running through the forest, battling with Nagini and the frozen lake.

Honestly, this movie is amazing! Yes, it is long, but I am so glad! I am such a fan of Hogwarts that I was sad none of the characters were in uniform and the castle was MIA in this movie, but to see another side of these characters and how they are developing into young adults was awesome to see. I have grown up with these characters, so it is natural for them to take on a dangerous role.

So a few things: I am in love with Ron Weasley. I wish Dobby was my best friend.

Buy the movie! The special features really are worth those few extra bucks. And I am probably going to watch the movie again today. Actually, I definitely am! I am just so sad that there is one more now. It's only a couple months away!
