Do you remember ten years ago when little Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint first appeared as the young wizards in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s (Sorcerer’s) Stone? They were only around eleven or twelve years old then, and now they are filling the T.V and movie screens around the world as some of the most famous actors out there. And to think, there is only a little over a month left until they take the movie screen for the last time together.

                        Getting on the subject of book and movie differences, we can only hope that Part 2 will be as accurate as Part 1. (FROM HERE ON, THERE ARE SEVERAL SPOILERS. BEWARE.) Personally, I think the final book was perfect. Everything I wanted to happen ended up happening almost exactly how I pictured it. The movie has very high expectations to be as accurate as possible, but it is impossible to get it perfect. The writers and director need to make it suitable for the big screen, whether it is cutting out some of our favorite scenes, making some important scenes more dramatic, or just totally leaving out some of our favorite characters and other material from the seventh book. We will have to take it as it is, but I’m sure this movie will be one of the best.

            One thing that should be made extremely accurate is Chapter 33, The Prince’s Tale. By far, this is my favorite chapter in the whole book and one of the best in the whole series. To recap, this chapter comes directly after Severus Snape is killed by Nagini, Voldemort’s snake. Harry witnesses this and approaches Snape, who gives Harry a memory of his before looking into Harry’s green eyes for the last time. Chapter 33 begins with harry dropping the memory into Dumbledore’s pensieve. Now, this is where the story of Harry Potter gets emotional and where it touched the hearts of millions. Harry sees memories of Snape and his mother, Lily Evans. Harry learns Snape had loved Lily from the day they met, and he loved her the second he died. The clips of his memory are heartwarming and depressing, as Harry learns how Snape lost Lily to James Potter, Harry’s father.

           Harry then learns that Snape wanted to save Lily from Voldemort after he got news that her son, Harry, is the boy in the prophecy that predicted the one who could kill Voldemort would be born. Snape begs Dumbledore to help him save her and even gets Voldemort to agree to stay away from Lily is he was to kill her son. (He kills her anyways as she doesn’t move out of the way of her son and protects him.) After Lily’s death, Snape, a former Death Eater, agrees to help Dumbledore protect Harry, the only thing left of Lily, and to be a spy for him. And as we all know, Snape torments Harry at Hogwarts because he reminds Snape of James, who he despised.

           Anyways, this chapter is one of the most important of the whole series, and the movie needs to get this right. I have heard news that Snape’s death will actually take place somewhere else than the Shrieking Shack, which isn’t that big of a deal and is probably being done for effect.

Another Chapter, King’s Cross, where Harry meets Dumbledore in a middle-world between life and the afterlife, is greatly important. Harry learns that he is not dead after Voldemort casts the killing curse at him, Harry is the last horcrux and needed to die for Voldemort to be killed, and that Lily’s love and sacrifice for Harry is the reason why Harry did not die the night of his parents’ murders, causing a piece of Voldemort’s soul to get planted in him. This scene needs to be done and it needs to be done accurately. It explains so much about the whole series in a short amount of time.

           This movie looks great, and will likely be great. “It All Ends Here,” and it will take a while for the cast who grew up together for ten years to realize that it is over.
