literally a movie of elaborate entrances

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

The Harry Potter movies grow up amid ‘Fire’
Marking the halfway mark in the Potter series, “Goblet” is veritably a movie of elaborate entrances, literally: the arrival at Hogwarts of the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students, the Hungarian Horntail swooping down on Harry, Hermione’s dressed-up descent down the steps and of course Voldemort’s horrific resurrection.

I don’t think I’ve seen veritably used in combination with literally before. Do they enhance or cancel each other out? Is it time for Veritably, A Web Log? Your comments are appreciated.

    That just sounds awkward. Two adverbs, one at the beginning and one at the end? It’s like they missed something when they were editing.
