Yea i started readin HP when i was 11 i think... i'm 20 now... JK took too long puttin out the books tho haha... i remember every single thing in the first4 cuz i read em over and over waitin on the 5th to come out

I actually like the idea of making the 7th book into 2 part movie because that way they cant leave out details...

I haven't really liked many of the movies because they leave out so many details and the details are what make the books so great.

or they leave out things not need to be change...
Movie 4 made me swear off the movies. How they gonna change the maze around? And I wish someone would say money was the issue...

I'm the worse person to go watch the Harry Potter films with. I criticize every single little detail of the films, and if there is something I believeshould have been kept, I make slick remarks. Honestly, the reason they don't include everything to "appeal" to fans is bs, the fact because, theyend up NOT appealing to the TRUE fans. 5th movie was honestly, a weak adaptation of the novel; longest novel, shortest movie? Pathetic.

I'm anticipating the 6th movie, only because the last two novels are imo, the most significant of them all, and the previews portray the movie as asuccessful interpretation of the novel. But I believe I will be walking out of the theater complaining about some minor detail they left out. Always, I knowmyself, it never fails.

Btw, my opinion on the 7th book's ending, considering the whole "Harry's death and resurrection", is that Rowling could not have donesomething any better to end his journey. I mean, the fact that he himself was the last and final horcrux needed to be destroyed in order for Voldemort to bekilled, who expected that? Honestly. I did not. After the movie, I'm rereading the 7th book to see if any hints are given off, but in all honesty, I neversaw it coming. Can you imagine the false pride Voldemort felt in finally "killing" the person who put him through misery? And then he realizes hedestroyed himself?

Man, I can go on for hours... :/

You didn't?! The clues were there from the beginning. Parseltongue, the pain when he was near, how easy it was to look into each other'smind. Also the reason why he was almost placed in Slytherin

I WILL NEVER FACE IT

*hugs HP gear*
i just wish J.K. could explore the world they live in more... like follow what theyre doing now....
like i said in our convo, E, i need a book series that seems continuous ... The Sookie Stackhouse Series is doing that for me right now

Uptempo - I understood their connection, but I don't know, I never expected HIM to be a Horcrux. Like, it slipped my mind, and I know that seems so dumb ofme, but I guess I didn't allow myself to see the BIG picture. It was obvious something had happened between them that connected their minds, but I wastotally unaware that the explanation was quite simple. I just expected a different explanation for their connection is all.

i did too until they first introduced the Horcruxes. The explainations made sense. I mean he went to kill Harry to make one and the spellbackfired. It only made sense to me. You're not dumb for not catching it. A lot of people missed it.

Man, not even gonna lie, I haven't read a Harry Potter book since when the last one came out. I remember reading and re-reading 1-4 waiting for the 5th oneto come out. I still think the first 4 are better than the last 3 but 7 was really good.

And regarding why they are making 2 parts of the 7th movie, obviously judging by the responses in the Watchmen movie thread, people don't have the theattention span to stay awake for 3+ hrs during a movie

. Obviously the people making the movie want to generate the most money for their time so ifthey break it up, they can essentially make it longer than just one film and appeal both the hardcore fans (that would stay awake) and the casual fans (thathave only seen the movies).

 

[brilliant overlord]

I just want to know what happened to them all after the seventh book, such as their careers and whatnot and who is still a live and who isn't.
The names of Harry's children in the epilogue of Deathly Hallows were incredibly corny.

 

[c2345air]

I agree with the corny names, and I also agree with the ginny and hermione thing. Emma Watson is definately prettier than Ginny, but the ginny girl is not abad choice.



Btw, team HP anyone?

 

[physicx]
