oh yeah!



anywho, I'm do like the series, book wise, but not so much movie wise, I'm not so sure, I mean, you can't fit a huge book into a two hour movie therefore ALOT of stuff that makes Harry Potter memorable gets left out. I will see it but, when it comes out on DVD.

Can't wait to see who Rowling kills off in the last book though

I agree with ya Gwenbie, I'm going crazy wondering who's going down in book seven. I've read that two are going down in this one...It could be anyone. Needless to say, it'll be even more interesting to see if moviemakers can pull off Deathly Hallows.

omg. i hate the movies. they are so bad compared to the book i mean if i hadn't read the series when i go to see the movies then i wouldn't understand the movies. plus everyone seems a little bit more annoying in the movie to me don't know why. i really don't want to watch this movie it's probably going to make less sense since they have to cut even more out of this movie since the fifth book is the longest.

I just saw the movie yesterday in IMAX and it was awesome. It did kind of drag a bit through the movie, but towards the end it got really good. I like the Goblet of Fire better.

Yeah I've seen it twice already this week. Each time was worth it. Though I think the best movie so far has been Prisoner of Azkaban. This one was good...though I really did not care for the book...it was probably the most boring of the series...but I can't wait to see what happens in the last book. My boyfriend seems to think that in the seventh book Harry will die but take Voldemort with him in the process. I am not sure if he is going to die...but if he does...kids and adults across America are going to be uber pissed.

yeah, after read the books so far, it does seem to lean towards that conclusion. I've been thinking of that same outcome for the last book, only because of how much of lord Voldmort Harry had imprinted on him from that orignal attack...but on the flip side, "he who must not be named" did pretty much release himself of that bond with what happened in the "goblet of fire"...darn, i guess we just have to wait till the 21st...

Yes...I suppose you are right. If she doesn't kill off Harry though...I think many people will want and expect another book though. I myself would want to see what his/the majority of other characters lives would be like once outside of Hogwarts for good.

Stupid movie. Preposterously impassive. And I wouldn't ever watch it again.

(spoilers alert)

- There wasn't enough attention paid to each of the characters... except maybe Harry. In other words, very poor character development.

- Hermione seemed kinda breathless in almost every scene, sometimes for no reason at all. Why? Why? Why?

- What about Cho? She suddenly appears, joins the DA, kisses Harry and...... next thing we know, she's with Umbridge's underlings uncovering the DA? Wkshptx??? What happened to the bit with Marietta (traitor)??? If you'd turned aside to rub your eyes you might not even have seen Cho with Malfoy and the rest "arresting" the DA.

- Ginny? I would've completely forgotten that she existed if not for her sudden (and extremely brief) appearances, usually marked by some kind of spell-casting.......

- I find it VERY amusing that the students who couldn't see the Thestrals actually flew on them.

- Hogwarts looked markedly different... not at all like the Hogwarts i remember from the previous films. except for maybe the grand hall.

- Kreacher mumbled a lot. Half the time I couldn't hear what he was saying... or what the portraits were saying, for that matter.

- Scenes at the beginning were unnecessarily long. If they hadn't made those so lengthy, there would have been plenty of time to include or expand some other scenes.

- THERE WAS NO QUIDDITCH. Can you believe it?!? What is Harry Potter without Quidditch? I think the Quidditch ban was one of the biggest shocks in the book, and that should have been included. Without a doubt. Yates obviously has no idea how much gravity Quidditch actually imposes.

- Evanna Lynch was not loony at all! She was just talking in a whispery voice, and how does that make her loony? Back to point one, major lack of character development!

- Can someone tell me why the hell Sirius was so jolly throughout the movie, and why popular antagonists like Malfoy only got like 5 minutes total screen time???

- Where did Dobby go? What about Have A Harry Christmas???

- I think the twins' departure was very....... anti-climactic. It could have been done better, with more of a flourish. I didn't like it at all.




Soooooooo yeah. A film major's two cents.
