Harry Potter - See how it started out innocent and turned DARK GIF

Love this. Thanks for posting.

While the later books are indeed darker and this should be reflected in the movies, I hated how it seemed like the movies cut out almost every humorous or light-hearted moment from the last few installments

Me when I saw the first film: Wow! I wish I could go to Hogwarts!
Me when I saw the last film: Wow! I'm so glad I'm not at Hogwarts!

YES!

in the beginning it's all shiny and gold like innocence but it gets darker as it goes on as if the innocence is turning into crushing reality
