雅思阅读材料：Harry Potter还在吗?

　　So if you like the Harry Potter books and films, you wont be disappointed by Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 1. And thats all you really need to know. In many ways, even before youve seen it, youll already have a better idea of it than a non-Harry Potter fan who has seen it can. So please consider the rest of this review as an optional extra ?probably best not bothered with at all, if youre potty about Potter. Farewell. Enjoy!

　　I sincerely wanted to enjoy the film too and be caught up by it. For even reviewers ?human, after all, however defectively ?hope to be entertained. But I wasnt entertained and I didnt enjoy it. I found it mind-numbingly boring from beginning to end.

　　Partly, no doubt, this was because I simply dont have the deep background in Potter studies necessary to understand lots of whats going on.

　　Near the start of the film, after his friends have taken Polyjuice Potion, the real Harry and six duplicates fly through the sky, from Privet Drive to the safe house at the Burrow, assailed all the way by Death Eaters and Voldemort himself. To me, this combat seemed to be conducted with random fireworks. In fact, these bangers were Killing Curses from the one side and Stunning Spells from the other, presumably clearly distinguishable to the initiated.

　　Then again, Harry, Hermione and Rons main mission in this part of the saga is to find and destroy Voldemorts remaining Horcruxes ?Dont let me commence, as Truman Capote used to say. Being a grown-up and then some, my capacity for interesting myself in imaginary arcana was exhausted long ago. There is so much more good stuff in the real world ?Brahms, euphorbias, Leopardi ?to find out about than one will ever have time for that it seems folly to waste any part of ones remaining span genning up on this cack. If you dont mind me saying so.
