I've been very happy with the first 3 movies, but extremely disappointed with the 4th and 5th one.  I still can not get used to the current actor playing Dumbledore (because Richard Harris was the best).  I also hate the fact that they don't show the adults/professors enough in the movies.  Especially Professor Mcgonagall, Professor Snape, Bellatrix Lestrange, and much more.  They are so brilliant but extremely underused.

One of my beloved characters- Albus Dumbledore was played by an actor who hasn't even touched one Harry Potter book.  We can all agree that he portrayed a violent, silly, and even bizarre Dumbledore.

I remembered a line in Ootp, " Don't you have some studying to do?", when the whole school watched Professor Trelawney getting sacked from her job.  That line had left me speechless.

That is why I always turn to the book and rarely pay attention to the movies.  I thought the Deathly Hallows will be my favorite one of the series.  But it wasn't ...

I thought the book was a disappointment.  Sure she did a good job at the beginning, but quickly changed to frustrating and boring in the middle part (when the Trio was alone in the tent), and horrible at the end.  Okay, I did like the final battle between Harry and Voldemort.

But I can not believe Snape's death and the stupid Epilogue.  Also that she killed Dobby... I was crying like there's no tomorrow.

I first took an interest in Severus Snape during Half-Blood Prince.  And now he is my favorite character in the series. 

I am distraught when Rowling failed to realize Snape as a hero. According to the Interview,

JKR : "The deaths were all very, very considered. I don't even kill fiction characters lighty."

MV: Was Snape always intended to be a hero?

JKR: " Is he a hero? You see, I don't see him really as a hero".

MV: Really?

JKR: "But, yeah. He's spiteful . He's a bully. All these things are still true of Snape even at the end of this book. em, But was he brave? Yes immensely."

Snape not a HERO?  Has she gone mad?  I think Snape is defintely a hero.  Sure, he dislikes Potter immensely, but how can he not!  The father is his enemy and the mother is his lover.  I completely understand Snape.  He was continuously bullied by James and Sirius, and Snape hated them for all his life. 

Even I, to this day, can not forgive the ones who bullied me in my childhood.  The weird thing was that I know I will never see them again, ever in my life, yet they were in my dreams one in awhile.  That was why I understand where Snape came from, why he became this way.

The Epilogue was simply a joke lol.  It sounded like a poorly written fanfiction that no one bothered to read. 

Professor Longbottom?  Albus Severus Potter?

I can only hope that Rowling will write a book based on the life of Severus Snape, I think Snape's life is definitely more interesting than Harry's. 

Here is an interesting article about Severus Snape and the final book.  I wholeheartedly agree.

P.S.  For the next two movies,  I am praying there will be more Alan Rickman screen time.  I'm sure he'll do a phantastic job!
