Who Stolen Harry Potter's 36 Minutes?

Early before the premiere of the seventh Harry Potter, a vedio of its first 36 minutes content was leaked on the Internet. But it can not change the truth that Harry Potter is still the NO. 1 box office.

The seventh and penultimate Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Death Hallows Part 1, had its world premiere in London on November 11th. But, 4 days early its premiere, the first 36 minutes of “Deathly Hallows,” about a quarter of the movie, leaked onto the Internet, prompting a fresh round of hand-wringing about piracy. Medias worried that the movie’s opening weekend would suffer as a result.

However, just like Dan Fellman, Warner’s president of domestic distribution, said the studio was investigating but that the pirated footage did not appear to hurt the release. Since the seventh Harry Potter movie opened to a jaw-dropping $330 million in global ticket sales just in two weeks. And it total easily made “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1” No. 1 in North America, where the boy wizard generated an estimated $125.1 million. It was the second-biggest domestic opening for the Harry Potter franchise; adjusting for higher ticket prices, “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” sold $127.4 million over its first three days in November 2005.

Although the strong results for the film reflect the continued popularity of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter books, the “Death Hallows” earned less reviews than the former series. As a must-see event for children and adults alike, “Deathly Hallows” played up the sophisticated in advertising campaign, darker elements of the plot. Harry and pals are now grown up, for instance, and the good-versus-evil battle is intensifying as the story line reaches its climax. But, till the end of this movie, there is still no exciting fight scene between Harry and Voldmort.

By now it is still doubt that “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1” will attract the passionate. As much as the curious and the nostalgic are, the whole movie is still boring and prolix. In this chapter, the main plot is centralized under the major characters of Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry himself.

Their adventures had an especially somber and scary coloration. The three friends were cast out from the protective cocoon of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry into a bleak, perilous grown-up world. It tested the independence they have struggled to obtain under the not always benevolent eyes of their teachers. Childish things had been put away — this time there was no quidditch, no school uniforms, no schoolboy crushes or classroom pranks — and adult supervision had all but vanished.

The movie, in other words, belongs solidly to Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Grint and Ms. Watson, who have grown into nimble actors, capable of nuances of feeling that would do their elders proud. One of the great pleasures of this penultimate “Potter” movie is the anticipation of stellar post-“Potter” careers for all three of them.
