I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows last Saturday. The ending of the movie is the ending of my childhood memory. I grew up with Harry Potter, starting to read Horry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone when I was 13-year-old. After that, seven books and eight movies were released in the next ten years. The first Harry Potter movie I watched is on a bad quality tape. The kind of tape that people shot the movie in the theater with camera, burned it on the CD and sold it on the market…very common in China back then. I didn’t quite clearly see what Harry Porter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger looked like in the movie, because the quality was too bad. But I was still so excited when I watched it. Last week, when I was watching Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in IMAX 3D, which claims the movie is crystal clear, I was as excited as ten years when I watch Horry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.  What it matters is the story, not the effects of the movie.
