In the book, it is implied that at the very least, there was a strong friendship between Grindelwad and Dumbledore when they were young. When Rowling said Dumbledore was homosexual, it almost confirmed the relationship. Dumbledore believed that they weren't exactly 'overthrowing' the Muggles per say, but helping them by leading them (ex., wizards taking care of muggles like children). In a way, their goal was similar to that of Big Brother's.
Dumbledore's a homosexual??? YESSSSS! It was about time my gay self had a bearded wizard to look up to as a homosexual role model! ... but hang on... he's dead. That's the point of the last couple of films, correct? Dang. Oh well.
Now, onto the main topic.
I saw this film six days ago, and I must say I enjoyed it, but it was lacking something... colour. Colour is in my opinion what makes a film watchable. I hate most films run through a greyish blueish green filter. There was absolutely no colour except for that very very last scene where Harry is after burying Dobby. I would have loved a little more colour in that film.
However I must say I really, really liked that scene in the cafe in London when Dolohov and the other guy come in and ambush our heroes. When I saw Petrificus Totalus used in the firts movie, I was like.... "ahhh, haha... look, he's like a pencil!", but when Hermione used it on Dolohov, it was actually creepy to look at, and really, really dicturbing. I mean, who wants that done to 'um? WHat I am trying to say is that they took somethinjg I thought funny and turned it into something I found genuinely disturbing to watch.
What did I think of this movie? I thought it was an excellent idea to split the film into two parts, I really did. I think they covered just about everything. I honestly cannot wait for the Battle of Hogwarts scene in the next part, and the 19 Years Later scene was well. There's only one bad point... one really negative point I have to make about this picture...
It means that the next one is the last one.... ;( !
