Not everyone is interested in five hour movies - people backing the films monetarily least of all. This movie wasn't as good as the book, but was close.
Rowling has already written the last page and it's locked in some safe deposit box somewhere. I don't have a link; I just remember reading it in an article back when Book 5 came out.
Apparently, the early tracking has Prisoner of Azkaban potentially challenging the $108 million opening weekend of Shrek 2.
I thought it was an amazing movie. Well, the parts I could hear over the crying kids and talking jackasses behind me. But the scenes I could concentrate on, I loved. Great new feel for the series.
Although I enjoyed the first two films, neither of them made me feel the desire to sit down and read the books. This one, however, did. I want to see what Ahzkaban is like now! ^.^
Rowling has finished the last chapter of book 7 already and has done most of the outline for 6 and 7. Reportedly the last word of book 7 is thw word "scar" I saw the movie yesterday great great stuff.. of course i like Hp over LOTR. Alfonso Cauron did an excellent job giving this movie an identity. Really good stuff a must see for family.. please leave toddlers at home, dark imagery abound and scarry things that go bump in the night..
This is why I rarely see movies in the theater anymore...and why my DVD is collection is starting to resemble my CD collection in the 90s. I'll probably see this movie in a couple of weeks...looking forward to it.
STUPID POST FOLLOWS Harry Potter is the tool of Satan, all who watch and indulge in the demonic garbage of JK Rowling will surely fall prey to the Occult. YOU WILL ALL BURN IN HELL. Emma Watson is hot. WHO THE **** SAID THAT
Back from seeing the movie. I like HP in general, but I wasn't too impressed. The resolution revolving around the magic item possessed by one of the characters was weak as well.
So does anyone here hate Harry Potter? I never read the books but I naturally assumed I would hate them. It's a boring saturday and I'm just trying to get a thread about a child's story moved to the D&D.
One of my roommates asked me to go with her and her little sister Sunday, and rented the first two for me. I;ve put them off, watched about an hour of the first one, and now have to cram both of them in today. This is gonna be my harry potter weekend, and I'm not even a fan...
I just got back from the movie and I'm not sure how I felt about it. I'm a huge fan of the books, so the movie felt very choppy and empty to me. There's so much information that they left out...but of course they couldn't have made it a four hour movie. But there were a number of things that they gave no clue about, such as how Lupin knew about the map. If I hadn't read the book I wouldn't have had any clue as to how he knew it worked. Sigh...damn books have me spoiled....
Well we can at least enjoy one of bash.org's top quotes. #111338 +(6185)- [X] JonJonB> Purely in the interests of science, I have replaced the word "wand" with "wang" in the first Harry Potter Book JonJonB> Let's see the results... JonJonB> "Why aren't you supposed to do magic?" asked Harry. JonJonB> "Oh, well -- I was at Hogwarts meself but I -- er -- got expelled, ter tell yeh the truth. In me third year. They snapped me wang in half an' everything JonJonB> A magic wang... this was what Harry had been really looking forward to. JonJonB> "Yes, yes. I thought I'd be seeing you soon. Harry Potter." It wasn't a question. "You have your mother's eyes. It seems only yesterday she was in here herself, buying her first wang. Ten and a quarter inches long, swishy, made of willow. Nice wang for charm work." <onJonB> "Your father, on the other hand, favored a mahogany wang. Eleven inches. " JonJonB> Harry took the wang. He felt a sudden warmth in his fingers. He raised the wang above his head, brought it swishing down through the dusty air and a stream of red and gold sparks shot from the end like a firework, throwing dancing spots of light on to the walls JonJonB> "Oh, move over," Hermione snarled. She grabbed Harry's wang, tapped the lock, and whispered, 'Alohomora!" JonJonB> The troll couldn't feel Harry hanging there, but even a troll will notice if you stick a long bit of wood up its nose, and Harry's wang had still been in his hand when he'd jumped - it had gone straight up one of the troll's nostrils. JonJonB> He bent down and pulled his wang out of the troll's nose. It was covered in what looked like lumpy gray glue. JonJonB> He ran onto the field as you fell, waved his wang, and you sort of slowed down before you hit the ground. Then he whirled his wang at the dementors. Shot silver stuff at them. JonJonB> Ok JonJonB> I have found, definitive proof JonJonB> that J.K Rowling is a dirty DIRTY woman, making a fool of us all JonJonB> "Yes," Harry said, gripping his wang very tightly, and moving into the middle of the deserted classroom. He tried to keep his mind on flying, but something else kept intruding.... Any second now, he might hear his mother again... but he shouldn't think that, or he would hear her again, and he didn't want to... or did he? melusine > O_______O JonJonB> Something silver-white, something enormous, erupted from the end of his wang JonJonJonB> Then, with a sigh, he raised his wang and prodded the silvery substance with its tip. JonJonJonB> 'Get - off - me!' Harry gasped. For a few seconds they struggled, Harry pulling at his uncles sausage-like fingers with his left hand, his right maintaining a firm grip on his raised wang.
