Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1

In preparation for seeing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , I recently purchased Part 1.   I did not see it in the theatre for no particular good reason.   I was not fond of the Half Blood Prince movie so I didn’t bother to see Part 1 of Hallows.   I loved the books and the first few movies were good.  

Hallows Part 1 seemed to think that to set the mood they had to have an initial portion filmed in the dark.  I don’t mean visible characters; I mean you may as well have turned the TV off and listened to the sound track.   I wonder how much money you can save if you just have voices without any visibility.    

This may seem to be the proverbial nit picking but why take such entertaining books and crap them up with scenes too dark to enjoy the action.   Scary music and low lighting can set the mood without just blacking out the screen.

That being said, I will probably shell out the cash to see the Part 2 just because it is the final movie or maybe I will just wait and by it used for $10 like I bought part 1.   

The following link  is to a good overview of the previous movies. Link
