After All This Time?

So! It's a total relief, right, knowing that HPDH 2 was finally released in Indonesia, even though it's quite late. And untill now, I've watched it three times. Once in 3D and twice in 2D. Well, many people say this movie is epic. I thought, yes this is the last one, this must be epic, but when I first watched it, in 3D, I was like, "honestly, this is not what I expected from the last movie of the harry potter franchise ever." I don't mean this is a bad movie. No, this is good, it made many people cry and also you cannot say bad when everybody says epic because you'll lose :p What I mean here is that this movie has the goods and the bads, just like everything else. So I'm gonna make some points.

1. I don't know, after I finished watching this movie, I felt like I just watched a film full of montage. Every scenes seems to be so short to me. Not surprising, actually, because HPDH2 is the shortest harry potter film with only two hours and ten minutes. It looks like they're trying to put as much scenes as they can and ends up everytime a scene finishes I was like, "wait, that's all?". Well, book loyalty isn't a matter at all now for me. No harry potter film would've satisfied me if I judged them only from their loyalty to the books. I understand that films and books are quite different. 
2. Snape's memory... is waaaay too short. I didn't cry in this scene, you know. Alan Rickman's acting is soooooo good though (O my goodness.. HIM.. for all the awards) . Just.. the story isn't enough. They could just delete some of the battle and add more scenes to snape's memory. I think the battle is too much, nagini lives too long, Neville could've just finished it right in the field where harry wakes up from dead-pretending.
3. Helena Bonham Carter is awesome. She does well as hermione. When she is hermione, you don't see bellatrix at all even though the appearance is completely bella's.
4. The effects win. Probably this is a harry potter film with the best film effects. I don't know, though, I have to watch the previous films first to make sure. But in this movie, the magic looks awesome and more vivid, like real. I haven't seen those kind of magic in the previous films. They look beautiful. I was so WOW,  I felt almost crying by amazement.
5. The 3D isn't that good. Let me remind you that this movie isn't made to be 3D, it's just a 3D convertion. But there are some parts of the scenes which are looking good in 3D, like the smokes, the dementors, the warner bros logo, and the scene when voldemort's body shatters. Others? look the same in 2D.
6. The soundtrack is wonderful. Love love love love since the beginning when the warner bros logo appears until the end of the movie. :)
7. Rupert Grint's acting is adorable when Fred dies. Ron is not so comical this time. The trio look sirius serious along the film and that's ok actually, that makes sense. Hermione and Ron don't have much lines, the movie is centered to Harry... and Voldemort. And I'm so disappointed that Ron doesn't talk at all in the epilogue, he's just silent, that's sooooo NOT ron weasley. Rupert said that the epilogue was actually longer than what appears in the cinema. Yeah, they better put that longer epilogue in the DVD or I'll kill them.

Mr. and Mrs. Weasley with their two children :')

8. This one is more touching than any harry potter films. I cried in the first time watching it --honestly, I never thought I would cry at all-- and it was not in the snape's scene, it's when harry meets the ghosts of his parents and sirius and lupin. Harry never sees his mother for his whole life and the time he really sees her (and it's when he's in a crack), he cannot even touch her. That's so heartbreaking OMG I think I'm gonna cry again!! And Ron and Hermione's faces when harry says he's going to the forest and also Ginny's face when she thought she saw harry's dead body, nooo I felt like it's waterfall on my face. I, myself, can't see my bestfriend dead. :(
9. Best part : when harry wakes up from his dead-pretending, then that cheers from Hogwarts warriors,  and that shock reaction from the death eaters. Definitely the best part! :)
10. The Malfoy Family. I like it when narcissa would do anything to keep her son safe, even if she has to betray voldemort. And when she, lucius, and draco run away from the battle, I love it, it's my second best part. I'm in love with the malfoy family :)

So this is the end. This is sad. This iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis sad. And to me, this is a good movie, I appreciate that the crew have done their best to finish this movie and they did well,  I have too many favorite scenes here.. I rated it 3 out of 5 stars

3 is good, right? ok? :) But it's just... I want more, Yates. I don't want to end it here, like this, with 3.. as a fan, I want it to be a five. I think Part 1 is still better than Part 2. And don't forget, I think Alan Rickman deserves an oscar, and Rupert Grint deserves more than an oscar, please.. 

Nonbar Milis IHP HP7 Part 2

Three days ago (July 31st), for the second time and for the last time, I attended Nonbar Milis IHP HP7 Part 2. I went to Jakarta with @haney07 — as always— and this time our journey was rough, it wasn't like last year at all. But it's not the point, I was grateful enough to be there. Things that make me grateful to have been there:

1. We watched the movie in a big auditorium with a very big screen and with more than 500 Potterheads. What could be more awesome than that? It's always different when you watch HP with other potterheads, moreover there are hundreds of them. We clapped together, we laughed together, we cried together, and we screamed together. It's like we have the same feeling for every scenes shown. I remember a woman cried harder than everyone there when Snape is dead, she sobbed like seeing her family dead. She got my shympathy. And when Ron and Hermione kissing, everybody was like "Eaaaaaa", "Aw aw aw" hahaha I just laughed. It was all so exciting.

2. Cosplay!!! This is the best part. People wear costumes. Last year I saw Snape, Luna, Voldemort, and many hogwarts students with their robes on. And this year I saw Dementor, Bellatrix, young Narcissa, Harry Potter, Astoria, and others. Nice costume, Bella!! :)

This picture belongs to @IndoHarryPotter

look, we found dementor! Rima, you should've been scared rather than smiling.

it's @_ubibakar and @vnovbiebs with #HarryPotternyaIHP. Pictures are theirs, not mine :)

3. Friends. It's always nice to meet potterhead friends. I remember after photographing this pic :

@_ubibakar said, "Dementor, Dementor…" while pointing somewhere behind us and the three of us did look around.. Lol.. She got us!

And this is one of the coolest things I got, I always wanted this since I saw the similar one on Tumblr : FIGHT FOR HOGWARTS!

Thanks for the comittee.. This was a very nice event.. :)

It's so sad that this is the last film. Yes it all ends there, needless to resist. Even though with pottermore around, still, harry potter story has ended. JK Rowling herself said that she won't ever write the 8th story. It's the fandom that will never last.. not the story. Nothing else to wait for about Harry Potter, neither the books nor the films. Rowling might write HP again, but not another new chapter, it's probably something like the reboot (if it's films). So.. the story has ended, let's just admit it. (I'm crying inside though)

And! Since I avoid spoiling those who haven't watched the film -it hasn't been a week since it's released in Indonesia anyway- , my review about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 will be posted tomorrow or another tomorrow. :)

Special thanks to @IndoHarryPotter @_ubibakar @vnovbiebs @haney07 for the phographs and everything :)

Good News!!

Rumors said that HPDH2 had passed the sensor so it's going to come to Indonesian cinemas soon. Subtitle is proceeded before the sensor which means that the film should've been ready to screen, it could be this week or next week.

You know what?!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

I've been waiting for so long. Spoilers have been bothering me over this week. It's just a relief knowing that finally I'm gonna see it. Here. In Indonesia. :)

I'm just too happy today. Yay!

Emma Watson, With Whom?

Ok. rumours all around. First ---> this Can you imagine her being Lautner's on-screen romance? No. Not even Blake Lively. Lively is far older than him, Watson is a little older than him. But still, it sounds awkward.

And idk why I care so much about this. I mean, just let her go, let her play with everyone. But no I can't just pretend not to notice. --There's no why.

Right, straight to the point, shall we?
(January 28th 2011, 13:29 WIB) @EmmaWatsonIndo uploaded a picture of a news. This news:



or if it's not clear enough. Read it here. Have you read it? Yeah? So what do you think about my twins, Logan Lerman and Emma Watson playing together in a movie. At first I was like "Siriusly?" and now I just can't wait to see the movie. Confusing, huh? me? :D

Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1

Tapi sebelumnya...

RON, kok lo ganteng banget sih!!

RON, geblek lo bodor banget!!!

RON, so sweet deeeeeeeeehhhh...!!!

RON, akting marah lo dapet bgt... Lo ron bgt daaaaah!!

RON RON RON RON RON ROOOOOOOOOOOnN!!! XD

Ehem.. Baik, segitu saja curhatnya.. Mari mulai..

Well, this one is the best of all Harry Potter franchise yet.. for me. Walau banyak adegan yang tidak sesuai dengan buku dan banyak juga hal - hal keren di buku yang tidak difilmkan, tapi ya sudah lah udah biasa juga kan.. :D Cuma kalo dibandingkan dengan film sebelumnya, yang satu ini keren bgt lah.. Lengkap! Tegang, tapi lucu juga, sedih juga, dan romantis juga.. Ckckckc top dah! Dan di film ini justru si Ron keliatan muncul banget dibandingkan film yang ke 6 dimana seharusnya dia lebih tersorot karena semua hal tentang Weasley is our king dan sebagainya.. And Rupert you acted quite well as Ron.. Big honour for you... :)) (teuteup ya, ron yang dibahas hahahha.. Nggak kok, ini gue serius alias sama sekali bukan karena gue ngefans ma dia haha)

Dan penceritaan tentang Tiga Bersaudara itu keren bgt deh. Tapi kayaknya emang banyak adegan yang dipotong, soalnya aku liat beberapa gambar film dan beberapa adegan di trailer dan tv spot yang gak aku liat di filmnya di bioskop. Hmm.. Strategi ampuh untuk meningkatkan penjualan DVD, ugh... Sungguh pengen beli DVD nya, penasaran gue ma deleted scenes nya yang panjangnya sekitar 12-15 menit katanya..

Adegan favorit: adegan sebelum ron meninggalkan harry dan hermione, dimana dia tiba - tiba matiin lampu dan menyalakannya lagi pake deluminator dari Dumbledore. Ketika ron dan Harry teriak-teriak danHermione mencoba melerai mereka.. O my...

Sebenarnya sih banyak adegan favoritnya, tapi yang satu itu aslinya dalem banget. Sama waktu si Ron balik ke tenda dan mau ngancurin horcrux yang disaksikan oleh Harry. Itu dalem juga.

Adegan paling tidak disukai: adegan ciuman Harry-Hermione. OMG THEY'RE NAKED!!! And I hated it.. Do they really have to be naked??

Nonbar Harry Potter 7 Part 1 Bersama Milis IHP

Tanggal 21 November kemarin Milis IHP mengadakan acara nonbar HPDH Part 1 di blitz megaplex Grand Indonesia, Jakarta. Ada sekitar 500 HPF yang datang, termasuk saya dan Hani yang naik kereta berdua dari Bandung .. :)

Ini untuk kedua kalinya saya ke Jakarta mandiri bersama teman kampus dan naik kereta. Perjalanan sebelumnya bisa dibaca disini

Biaya pendaftaran nonbar sebesar 85.000 IDR sudah termasuk tiket nonton dan goodie bag berisi:

Perjalanan pulang dan pergi Bandung - GI Jakarta:

Dari Bandung, naik kereta Argo Parahyangan turun di stasiun Gambir (Rp 30.000, yang bisnis eksekutif), perjalanan selama 3,5 jam.. Di dalam kereta kamu bakal ditawarin macam - macam, mulai dari bantal, minuman, dan makanan berat. Waktu itu saya beli nasi goreng + teh manis hangat total harganya Rp 19.000 (mahal yak, tips: mending bawa bekel sendiri dari rumah )

Dari stasiun gambir, kita naik busway (masih, Rp 3.500) kemudian transit di Harmoni dan naik bus selanjutnya terus turun di halte Bundaran HI. Pertama banget nih saya ke Bundaran HI dan hmmm... Wow.. Biasanya liat di TV doang. :D

Dari Bundaran HI, kita harus jalan sedikit untuk nyampe ke Grand Indonesia yang saat kita kesana (pukul 10.00) masih tutup, jadi kita masuk lewat pintu karyawan. Dari saat itu pun kita sudah melihat beberapa orang yang sepertinya ikut nonbar juga. Gampang aja sih, bisa dilihat dari pakaiannya atau apa yang dibawanya.

Overall, acaranya rame banget, presenternya gokil, ada cosplay juga, nambah teman - teman baru, walaupun gak dapet doorprize juga gak rugi deh pokoknya.. :)

Entah karena banyakan yang nontonnya jadi rame atau karena penontonnya HPF semua, tapi pas nonton tuh asik bgt. Tepuk tangan di adegan yang tepat, teriak juga sama, kompak deh pokoknya, rame! Beda ama nonton di bioskop biasa dan bukan acara nonbar. Sepi bgt, mau ketawa juga malu- malu. --“

Now, why don't we talk about the movie itself? Click here

23 November 2010

Just watched HP7 Part 1 in theatre and got an annoying news.

Okay, seems like I'm not the only one who's not that interested in seeing the H/Hr dancing scene. Yates deleted a tender and light R/Hr scene, because he said it's too light and they don't have enough duration. But He can find time for that stupid H/Hr dance for LIGHTNESS (like what he said). Come on, who's the couple! What do you think will happen to H/Hr, they're dancing while ron is not there. I've been disappointed since the first time I heard that there would be that dancing scene. And even more disappointed now after knowing that a great R/Hr scene is deleted. But thank God the scene is on the DVD which is going to be released someday in April 2011.

I do think, Yates is not that into the books. (:

Team Ron??!! Oh, come on! Seriously, guys..


I know Twilight and Harry Potter are two different sagas and no one should ever compare anything between them, but I think this is brilliant.. because Ron wins!! oh, Gosh, Potter rules, right??!! Don't forget to read the comments b'coz I like 'em so much..

This reminds me about Eclipse failure being TT on twitter weeks ago and Harry Potter lead..

Btw, why everyone says RG is a great actor.. Think I should say thanks to Mr. Scorsese..

But I always know everybody loves Ron Weasley (it's true, people! I don't say it just because I love him) , tho' some stupid people say RG is not handsome. Yea, he's not handsome, he's just gorgeous, brilliant, awesome, amazing, and many others..



Bye! I don't want to stop writing but I have to go.. I'll continue later!!
