Less than three more months, Potter-philes! And if this latest installment’s much-bemoaned delay has forced fans of the series to do without until this summer, at least there have been two more trailers to tide them over in the meantime. As I stated in the previous post, I like that the action has been gradually bleeding more and more out of the world of wizards, and this one story appears to have the most Muggle-world action of any installment to date. I also like that Harry and his friends have begun to fight more of their battles for themselves rather than letting the adults do the heavy work, the idea begin that as we mature we must also take on greater responsibility for our lives. But mostly, this is looking more and more like the biggest big-budget thrill ride of the series to date, a welcome change from the early installments which practically choked on their need to reel in the little kids and prove their fidelity to the original novels. And if the delayed release date was required for Warner and director David Yates to do this right, then it’ll all be for the best.
