With an interval of a few days (we have two in two) Potterines, two shocks await. The film adaptation of the fifth book “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” (on July 19), filmed by the little -sown David Yates, and the seventh final (as long as yet announced) book Joan Rowling Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will put the dots over I (July 21), are released. Pharmacies around the world, apparently, are already experiencing a shortage of validol and valerian drops.
Since the amount of Rowling’s books written about Potter, and even the author of these lines, has long exceeded the volume of books, we will focus on only two, but burning Harry Potter will kill Rowling Harry Potter and 2) if not, to what extent will the seventh novel dare to come to the extent of adulthood?
So, the first. The fact that it will not kill, is evidenced by the current, designed for billionth profits, the action of the imperialist show business: the simultaneous release of the film No. 5 and Roman No. 7. To this day, only two third -party people who read the seventh book were known: the heroines of the heroine “The Devil wears Prada”, the influential editors of the main fashion magazine of the world Miranda Pristley, - they got the printed specimens of the secretary Andy. But it is clear that the producers of the fifth film Potter should also be familiar with the ending of the epic. Otherwise, they would not dare to shoot with a doublet. After all, it is obvious that if everything ends poorly in the seventh book, then serious financial losses are waiting for the adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Many will not go to the film from grief and from protest. And in the two remaining films it will be possible to put a cross completely.
It is clear that Harry should survive in order not to give rise to mass depression on Earth. And to keep Rowling itself safely, which for a bad end can brutally repay psychopaths fans.
True, if the seventh book ends well for Harry (that is, relatively good: it is known that two of the main characters will die, and it is not a fact that Volan de Morte will be finally destroyed: Rowling is smart and knows that there is no world without evil), then it is not clear where he himself will go in the finale? Will we really part with a romantic hero on the fact that now a long and hopelessly happy, boring adult life awaits him - as a quality teacher of the Hogwarts school? In the stupid parody film “Very Epic Cinema” was the only funny moment - the future of Harry and Hermione. Harry is an enthusiastic old fool. Hermione - drunk and pregnant.
Second. Everyone note the innovation of Rowling books. It is that as the characters of the book grow up, it becomes less and less childish. From part to part - more and more blood and deaths. There are even more gloomy films. The fourth is gloomy, but the fifth, according to the first those who saw, even darker. In addition, the relationship between boys and girls becomes less and less Platonic. In the fifth series, a kiss between Harry and Zhou Chang is actively advertised. As a result, the fourth and fifth series received in America the restrictions in the box office (the fifth - “For the cruelty of fantasies and frightening images”) - they have a PG -13 rating, children up to 13, accompanied by parents.
Few people, however, notices another important detail: from the film to the film filming become more and more copyright. The first two, made by the artisan Chris Columbus, were neat. But starting with the third, which was shot by Alfonso Koaron, the directors - clearly intentionally - are strengthened by adult motives for books.
Rowling picked up this trend in the author’s transformation of books. There you can find shots that seem real, like Naked Harry lies in bed with the naked Draco Malfoy. Or Hermione with a bitchy expression on Harry flows something, while holding a smoking cigarette, he is a bottle of beer, and on the sidelines Ron with a detached look smoke a grass.
The performer of the role of Harry Daniel Redcliffe was already famous for the appearance of naked form in the play of the London Theater. If the film adaptation of the seventh series nevertheless appears, according to the plan - in 2010, then the redcliffe will be hit by 21 by that time, Emily Watson (Hermione) - 20, Rupert Grint (Ron) - 22, Tom Felton (Malfoy) - 23.
In principle, it will be logical if the film adaptation of the seventh book turns out to be such that it will receive a rolling rating of NC-17: children under 17 are not allowed.
