Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows - Part 1


Hey guys,

so i just got back from the cinema, and as the title shows you, i went to see the newest Harry Potter and was blown away. It was thrilling from begin to end (except for a little part). It was sad when it needed to be, and every-o
ne was laughing when it was funny. I must say that i didn't expect the film to be like it is, but i'm positively surprised.

I read the book i while ago, when it first came out, so I really was able to go with a blank mind to see this movie. And I didn't remember the whole story. It was kinda frustrating at times, and i made myself promise that i was going to read the book before part 2 comes out.

It's really one of my favourites. It's true to the book. Something that apparently slipped the mind of the director when he made the 6th movie. But this time he got it right. This movie is so truthfull to this movie, it made me cry. Really. I know this sounds silly, but i hate it when they change to much of the book when they make it into a movie. But this one was perfect.

Well perfect is maybe not the right word. Because i have one little tiny thing that really got on my nerves. When one scene ended and another one started there was always the same way of cutting a scene. You would see the screen turn black, and then 2 seconds
later you see colours reappear slowly 'till you recognize what it represents. It got on my nerve because i hate that kind of montage. I know, it's my personal idea and everything here is what i think of this movie. And i'm telling you it's the only thing that was kinda bad about this movie.

The actors were amazing. Rupert Grint was hilarious, Daniel Radcliffe portrayed his stress and the love for his friends fantasticly, and you saw the fear dripping of Emma Watson's face. Each and every-one of them carried the movie. They got the chance with this one, to really show their capabilities to act, and they were really good.

This movie has everything a typical Harry Potter movie has: Action, Fantasy, Friendship, Good wins over bad(not yet anyway :p), Humor and Romance. It's worth every penny i payed to get in the cinema, and i would love to see it a second time.

***SPOILER ALERT***

If you don't
want to know what happens in the movie or how it ends, then you better don't read any further. I'm trying to analyze every scene i can remember. So if you really, really, REALLY don't want to know what happens. Don't stop and click away, to one of my other blogs.

The films starts with the three main characters looking sad. Why? Hermione has to use a spell on her parents so they won't remember her. Harry sees his 'family' leave because it isn't safe for them anymore. And Ron is ju
st worried, about everything, about his friend, about his family...

Next up you see Harry opening the door for the Order of the Phoenix. They came to take him to some place sage: the Nest, or Ron's house, for those who don't know it. But before they can leave, as Voldemort is watching for Harry, some of the order drink the potion to make them look like Harry. It is in this scene that we first meet Bill Weasley, who's going to marry Fleur Delacour. This scene is r
eally funny, you see the twin Weasley making comments on how they look identical, Fleur who tells Billy not to look at her because she is hideous, and Hermione and Ron just look all confused.

After this, the all go away, each 'Harry Potter' with a protector from the Order. Harry leaves with Hagrid. But when you says goodbye to Hedwig, some deatheaters has seen him and attack the whole group. Hagrid escapes with Harry on his flying motorcycle, but it doesn't take long before the deatheaters pursue them. Hagrid gets hit on the head by a spell, and Harry has to drive the motorcycle by himself to the Nest. But on the way some deatheater attacks him and it's then that Hedwig attacks. She bit and scratched the deatheater but he kills her. And she falls from high in the sky. Not long after, Voldemort comes up, but doesn't succeed in killing Harry Potter.

Not long after every-one in the group returns to the Nest, except for Mad-Eye, who got killed in the fight. George Weas
ley also loses an ear in the fight. But other than that, and the fact that one of them betrayed them (a little man, you'll have to excuse me but I totally forgot his name).

After every-one got over the shock, there was a wedding coming up. Harry decided to leave, because he didn't want to endager his friends. But Ron, luckily, convinced him to stay 'till after the wedding. And then they would leave together with Hermione. Friendship can be so beautiful.

The wedding is wonderfull. Harry meets a lot of people who will be important in the rest of the movie (and probably part 2). In the mid of the wedding, death eaters attack and Harry, Hermione and Ron escape and go into hiding.
There they decide to find the real amulet who contains a part of Voldemorts soul. But they find out it's Umbridge who has it. So they have to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, which has been taken over by Voldemort. The change themselves into 3 adults who work there. And this gives place to a lot to happen.

After a fight and a difficult time escaping, they find themselves in the woods with the amulet. But Ron got hurt while 'teleporting' (don't recall the correct term, sorry). Hermione tries to fix him op, but he's to weak to trav
el. So they have to go by foot. They also decide to wear the amulet each by turn. But it all turn them 'evil'.

After a lot of travelling, Harry and Hermione got closer and figured out that they needed the sword of Griffoundor, to destroy the amulet. But they have no idea where to get it. Ron, who was wearing the amulet at that time, got mad and left the two of them alone, after he threw the amulet at Harry.

A few months passed, and Harry and Hermione still traveled and searched for answers on the numerous questions they have. On a special night, Harry noticed a dear (patronum) coming to him and showed him the way to a river, where (Miracle!!) the sword of Griffondor lies. Harry broke the ice, took off his clothes and dived in. But when he wanted to take the sword, the amulet he was wearing around his neck, didn't want to come in contact with the sword, and tried to go back on the surface. Someone pulled harry out and got the sword too. Harry first thought it was Hermione, but when he putted his glasses back on, we all noticed it was Ron who was standing there, soaking wet, with the sword in his hands. They decided Ron had to destroy the amulet because it had the strongest impact on him. When they opened it, a huge monster came out and told Ron that his friends didn't needed him, that they loved each other, that nobody would ever love him.
You could see in Ron's eyes that he had a hard time not to listen and believe what the monster was saying, but at last he got on his feet and destroyed the amulet.

Hermione was very angry with Ron, and for the rest of the movie Ron tried his best to please Hermione, to get back into her good grades. It let to a lot of funny moments. He also made quite a discourse on how his gift from Dumbledore (in his will he left each something: Ron his lightclicker(again, sorry i don't know the word), Harry his first catched snitcher and Hermione a book with childrenstories) touched his heart and told him where to go to find them.

Then they went to X. Lovegood. Because Harry noticed a necklace which symbole resembled a symbol Hermione saw in her book: the symbol of the deathly hallows. Than we got a long animated scene, where Hermione told the story of the three brothers. It was really boring in the end, and i think they could've done it in and other way, or at least got quicker on with it. But when they wanted to leave, he wouldn't let them go 'cause they got his Luna.

Next came a scene were they fled from some death eaters. And it was quite hard to follow. A lot of shots weren't very clear, and while they fitted perfectly in the movie, it was really hard for some-one, who was as tired as I was back then, to follow. But after all the effort they did, they still got captured. Still, Hermione had the time to disfigurate Harry. So they had a hard time believing it was him. They took them to the house of the Malfoy's.

There Ron and Harry were put in the cellar, where they found Luna, a goblin teacher from Hogwarts and the want maker. They all heard Hermione scream, because Bellatrix Lestrange was torturing Hermione to know what she had stolen from her deposit box in the bank, other than the sword which was supposed to be there.

Dobby finaly saved the day. He got them all out bot not quick enough. At the moment he disappeared with Harry, Ron, Hermione and the Goblin, Bellatrix threw a knife. We saw it disappear with the group.

It's only a minute later we find out it hit Dobby and he dies peacefully in Harry's hands. He decides to burry him properly, without magic. And so it's done. It was really a touching moment and i had to hold back my tears, because i loved dobby very much. He was a true friend of Harry's and rescued him 'till the end.

The last scene we see, is Voldemort breaking into Dumbledore's grave and taking the want he held in his hands: the most powerfull wand in the world, one of the three deathly hallows.

***SPOILER END***

I must say i told you everything i remembered. I left some important things out, and i added some things that weren't as important. But those moments i described here, really got stuck into my mind, and i can't stop replaying some scenes over and over (in my mind off course).

I highly reconsider this movie to EVERY-ONE!! But you have to have a strong heart. Mine jumped a few times in the movie, and it really scared me a lot. This movie isn't proper for little children. It's darker and creepier than ever before.

I give it a 10/10.

Stay tuned
Stay Annalyzed
And see you later!

Selena Gomez - Round and Round




Selena Gomez has a new single out. I love her song Naturally, but I don't think that Round and Round will ever tip to Naturally. The song has an catchy chorus and easy to sing along. But it's not as good as Naturally. She'll have to convince me live.

I normally am a fan of Selena Gomez, but this time I have to say that I like her better when she acts. That doesn't mean that I don't like her singing capabilities. I just prefer Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato.

Her music video to Round and Round is complicated. There's for the first time a story in but I don't really see it. It's like a spy-movie, but I have no idea why those guys chase her. Anyways, she looks marvelous in her video. And I just love her coat she wears in the beginning. She could have done a better job though.

What do you think? Do you think this song is about Nick Jonas? Let me know.

Stay tuned.

Stay AnnA-LySed.

And see you later.

Miley Cyrus - Can't Be Tamed - Deluxe Edition






So big news for all of you miley cyrus-fans out there. Here new cd just came out!! And it’s incredible. I can’t believe i have it here in my hands.

First off i want to say that this blog is for fans only who want to say what’s on their mind. So if you’re a hater, don’ t bother coming and telling me that you hate Miley Cyrus or any other star i might talk about. I give you a chance to talk seriously about some of the things that go on in the entertainment today.

Back to this amazing cd. I must say that when i first saw the cover on mileycyrus.com, i thought the resemblance with Britney Spears was really big. But as i looked closer and when i listened more carefully to I Can’t Be Tamed, i have to say that there is nothing that is the same. Miley Cyrus has a much deeper voice and a bigger range than Britney Spears will ever have (don’t get me wrong i like Britney Spears a lot). I can understand that with her Disney-background she wants to change. And she made it. Of course there are all those people out there who think she’s going the same way as Britney, but she said that she was a huge fan of miss Spears. It’s logical that she wants to go her own way. And I support her in this big step of her carreer, and I hope she continues making music. ‘cause that is still her biggest talent.

The album is in general still a lot pop, but there are dance and rock influences. You can hear that every single song is typically Miley. Liberty Walk is just stuck in my head (li-li-liberty walk). And it’s beginning is amazing. The ideal beginning of her album. Who owns my heart is a beautiful little dance-song. And again she uses a lot of electronic music. The one thing that bothers me is that the chorus doesn’t really fit with the rest of the song. But you get used to it, when you hear it again and again. I did. Overall the song is good. It’s catchy, and when you hear it, you just want to get up and dance. Can’t Be Tamed is the amazing first single. It was the perfect choice to make clear to everyone that there’s a new Miley on the way. Every Rose Has It’s Torn isn’t one of my favorite songs. But it’s a cute song, that would be perfect acoustic. The electronic sounds who hear now and then doesn’t fit the song. That’s to bad. I think the song would be way better if she stripped it of the half of the music. Two More Lonely People has an amazing beat. And the guitar that plays between her lyrics is amazing. I love it. When I hear it I just want to sing along and I imagine having that guitar next to me. That guitar really makes me smile. I have no idea why. But I love it. Forgiveness And Love is lovely ballad. Her voice is beautiful on this one. Permanent December is a cute little dance-song with some amazing beats. Her ‘rap’-piece is amazing. I can already she here doing that live. And again I just want to get up and dance to this amazing song. Stay is a typical ballad that we are used from Miley, but you can hear her growth in music. It has some amazing lyrics and when I heard it I just wanted to cry.

Scars starts a little bit more rock, but it has still a dance-beat underneath. When she sings the chorus the dance-beat comes up and it takes you on a journey. I just love the little music intermezzo. Take Me Along is one of my favorite songs. When I hear it I just relate to it so much. Robot is an amazing dance-song. When the song starts I just want to stand up and dance and sing along. In the chorus you can feel her rock background. The lyrics will also appeal to a lot of people. I know in my family some who can relate to it a lot. My Heart Beats For Love is another one of my favorites. I heard it for the first time on youtube, from her concert i think it was in Rio. Anyways. It’s an easy song you can sing along after you heard it for the first time.

Overall this album has the typical signature of Miley, but you can see that she is much older. The mentality off the lyrics is from a 17-year old girl. But what irritates me is that she uses a lot of electronic music. I just hopes she won’t give up on music, ‘cause she’s amazing. This album is my favorite so far. I listen to it over and over again.

I watched the DVD last night in my bed, ‘cause I didn’t want my dad to freak. From the first minute the DVD played I knew it was going to be amazing. The little interviews are amazing. You can really see how she is in real life. I love that about her. She doesn’t hide who she really is. Unlike some other stars. From the first note of Breakout till the last one of the Climb, you are on your seat and captivated by what you see. I never saw her live, but after watching this DVD and her Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus, Best Of Both World Tour-DVD, I can’t wait to see her live. My favorite performance has to be Bottom Of The Ocean, where she wears an amazing dress and where you ‘swims’. That was amazing. The moment where you see her flying around in Fly on the Wall is really cool. I couldn’t help but think what would have happened if she would have felt down. Anyways, she didn’t.

I love it and I’m not sorry to say that I’m almost 20 years old and I’m a huge fan of Miley Cyrus. Girl… go on like this!! You can do it.

What do you think of her album? Did you by it? No? What are you waiting for? Go on!!! It’s worth the price you pay for it.

Stay Tuned, Stay Anna-Lysed

See You Later!!
