Harry Potter: Rant 1 (of many)

Let's just get one thing straight before I go any further: I am a Harry Potter fan, deal with it. I've lost count of the number of times I've read the books, I "like" numerous quotes, pictures, awkward moment pages and trailers on Facebook and I'm guaranteed to have several posts about Harry Potter on here.

I've seen the new movie twice so far, and although I enjoyed it (it wasn't nearly as bad as the 6th movie in which they completely murdered the book) there were some nagging differences in the final film. I fully understand that there is no way a film can exactly follow a book...but is it really necessary to deviate so much?? Ever since the final film was released I've spent countless hours trying to explain to non-Potter fans exactly why Harry died/didn't die. It's getting exhausting! It is a very complex storyline but still, if the films followed the books more closely I'm sure I would have saved quite a few hours explaining it to everyone else. But then again, I like any excuse to talk about Harry Potter, so maybe I'm complaining for no reason.

In any case, that is my rant for today. I will be putting up a proper review of the film as soon as I have less work to catch up on for my law subjects. I guess that's the problem with going to a uni that has 3 semester a year instead of 2, you have very little time to procrastinate. And yet, I seem to achieve quite a bit instead of studying...

Assuming I can figure out how to attach a picture to this post (I'm still a bit of a newbie at blogs), I hope you enjoy some Potter humour.
