Post by: ferret on July 19, 2007, 06:28:39 PM
Just two days left (or more two and a half?) till book seven. CAN'T.WAIT.  

I'll lock myself in my room, I'll read it in a piece, then I'll sleep for about a day, and then I'll come back online.

Same procedure as every year :lol:

Aaah, I'm so excited!


...Oh, yeah, you can discuss the books and the movies here.

People here seem to consider Harry Potter stuff childish and stupid, so I'll have to keep as a secret that I love the books :D The movies are ok I guess, and my brother said the latest one sucked, so I'm still considering wether to see it or not. The movies have some great music tho.

I love HP, though at first I used to think it was just children stuff (something many people say without actually knowing what are they talking about, having never read the books themselves). Dana and I are going to buy it tomorrow night, but unlike the other years, we are planning to make it two copies this time. It was kind of ennerving, having just one copy and changing turns after each chapter.  :P
We also saw the movie yesterday and I liked it a lot (though many things were omitted, which is understandable though, given the length of the book).

Ah, Harry... *seriously~in~love~fangirl~look*... It's been kind of my first of the really long time fandoms, I'd remember having organizing the first ofi fanclub in my country for it, so I guess someone could bit imagine how mad I actually went about it.... I mean, obsessive. No, that's not the word... Fangirly. That sounds so... woowoo. *laughs*

Well, I'm mostly interested in the deaths of the remaining piece. Mean like, the story is all about something the same, no? This kind of thing in there is a bit thrilling, one never knows who she's damn playing with. Been speculating with handful friends about the death of Harry, to mostly everyone I've met it seems like impossible, so who knows.
I just like, hope she doesn't write the 8th book, that would go a little too much for me to swallow... In some sense, I would prefer the canon to remain 7 ones and the rest being but a fanfiction with fun in its own right.

As long as Snape lives and is proven good, I don't really care who lives or dies... at least not that much. I'm just curious.
Not that I was one of Snape's scary fans (I mean those who write horrible fanfiction, mainly featuring themselves having wild sex with that poor man )... I'm just his non-scary fan who just finds him complex and deliciously cynical.  :P
Also, since he's kind of archetypically doomed from the start, I really wish he survived and continued living in peace. Because if there's a hope for him, then there's hope for everyone.

I never did get into Harry Potter. I'm not a big book-person though. I'll watch the films when they finish them all. The films look good.. and Emma Watson is sexy  :P

btw, they all die in the last book. HA! *disappears*

My thoughts exactly, I'm only reading it because Snape is so damn fascinating  :lol:
I'm also very interested how his relationship with Harry will be in the future. Harry has always annoyed me for never seeing any good in Snape, when Dumbledore did. And I'm sorry to say so...oh, no, I'm not, I trust Dumbledore more than "The-Boy-Who-Scored".

Lee, I'm not a bookworm, either (mostly because of some boring stuff we had to read atschool) but Harry Potter is really good entertainment, if you read the books it's better than every movie  :D

Tsk, I knew someone would say Emma Watson's sexy. I think she's very pretty, but she's too annoying and one too bad actress to be attractive for me  :P I like to call her the female Orlando Bloom, because she is.

True. The movies (or at leas the 3rd movie and up) are pretty good, but the books itself are great, though not so complex at the beginning (say the first two). Only one really has to read it in English to really savour it. I don't know how in other countries, but here in Czech republic the translation sucks. The books lost good three quarters of magic in my opinion. I read the original first and then, out of curiousity, I tried to read some of them in Czech, but I simply couldn't. :x

Post by: ferret on July 20, 2007, 07:30:28 AM
I kind of like all the movies, except the fourth...IMO the worst of the whole "series". I really loved the fourth book, I liked the romantic aspect, really, but in the movie, it was way too much (and Emma Watson's "acting" was annoying beyond words).

Yep, the original version is the best, I've read the first four in German (first) and after re-reading them in English I realized how much gets lost when translated.

And something random

Yep, I saw it last week. I really liked it, the camera work was amazing, really solid acting, Harry wasn't as annoying as in the book, the thriller-esque atmosphere was great and the special effects...trust me, the final fight will blow your mind away  :shock:  It really looks like magic, finally!

But that's just my opinion. I know people who liked the fourth, and hated the new one...

Oh, and there are lost of funny moments (Snape  :lol: )

Yea, I couldn't believe it. We were at something like a smaller mall, and there was this new bookstore, and I thought I should check it out. And right there, at the entrance, was lying a huge batch of HBP books. After that I couldn't wipe away the dumb grin off my face until I was in my room.

BTW, how did you like that book? In my opinion, even though it contains some marvelous scenes (whole chapter 2, for example), it was by far the weakest book. Sometimes it felt like a not-so-good fanfiction....  :?

HBP is my fave book, by far. Loved the whole Prince storyline, how he helped Harry to receive such good marks at potions. (plus the little hints at Lilly's and Snapes collaboration)
This was the real turning point when Snape killed DD. Love this book  :D

Sure, I loved that storyline as well. But the romantic plot was annoying and rather unrealistic, in my opinion. I don't really care which girl ends up with Harry, but this choice seemed rather awkward to me.

The "too old" is most likely my favourite excuse, ever. He still looks like he's in his early twenties (and with right makeup, hair and light even younger).

tho, IMDB and OUTNOW list him as Tom Riddle, it was officially announced that the casting for a new actor will start soon.

Though, it seems nice, why do people say about it it's dark, to me it doesn't seem so?

Did anyone else grow up with Harry Potter?  Because it seemed to me thats how the stories were meant to be read.  The first one was more child oriented, and the stories got more and more mature each time.  I started reading Harry Potter in the 5th grade and just finished the 7th book in between high school and college.

I know the stories are great and even adults can enjoy them, but did anyone else here sort of grow up with Harry Potter at around the same rate he did?

No. I read the first four when I was in my first year at the university - that would be when I was 20. Now we have the last book, I've just graduated and just turned 25. So let's say I spent the days of my higher education with Harry Potter.  :)

BTW, after reading the last book, I have a sneaking suspicion that Snape must cry his eyes out everytime he's watching Bambi.

Rowling Says Dumbledore Is Gay

The Harry Potter author breaks big news in New York.

J.K. Rowling, author of the world-wide best-selling Harry Potter series, met some of her American fans Friday night and provided some surprising revelations about the fictional characters who a generation of children have come to regard as close friends.

In front of a full house of hardcore Potter fans at Carnegie Hall in New York, Rowling, sitting on the stage on a red velvet and carved wood throne, read from her seventh and final book, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," then took questions. One fan asked whether Albus Dumbledore, the head of the famed Hogwarts School of Wizardry and Witchcraft,  had ever loved anyone. Rowling smiled.  "Dumbledore is gay, actually," replied Rowling as the audience errupted in surprise. She added that,  iA her mind, Dumbledore had an unrequited love affair with Gellert Grindelwald, Voldemort's predecessor who appears in the seventh book. After several minutes of prolonged shouting and clapping from astonshed fans, Rowling added. "I would have told you earlier if I knew it would make you so happy."

In answer to the question "Did Hagrid marry?" Rowling replied that sadly, no. The half-giant had a flirtation with a giantess but she found him "a tad unsophisticated" and the relationship never went forward. In response to the audience's groans of dismay, Rowling said, jokingly, "O.K., I'll write another book." And when the audience continued to express disapproval added, "at least I didn't kill him."

Other minor characters, according to Rowling, came to happier ends. Neville Longbottom, Harry's meek and hapless classmate, married Hannah Abbott, another classmate.

It's been seven years and five insanely popular books since author J. K. Rowling last wowed American disciples with a live reading. That explains the Beatlemania-esque shrieks from 1,600 lucky Los Angeles teens and preteens who listened on Monday morning to Rowling read a bit of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," her seventh and final book in this best-selling series. Afterward she met with and signed copies of her book for each of the children, all of whom had competed in a Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) essay competition to win a coveted seat at today's event at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

When Rowling stepped onto the Kodak Theater stage, famous as the venue for the annual Academy Awards, she was greeted with a lengthy chorus of soprano screams more normally lavished upon pubescent boy bands than book writers. The kids were selected from 40 schools in the LAUSD. Glammed up, Rowling looked more like a Hollywood screen star than a children's author. "She's so pretty," gushed one 13-year old girl. "I want to be just like her one day; pretty and a great author." It was the first stop on Rowling's three-city Open Book Tour, sponsored by her U.S. publisher, Scholastic. She will give a repeat performance this Thursday in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Auditorium in the Convention Center, and will end her U.S. engagement on Friday night at New York City's Carnegie Hall. Of the 1,600 children attending, 12 were singled out for their essays to ask questions of Rowling after the reading. "I wrote an essay about how Harry Potter changed the way I think about books," explained 11-year-old Ryan Garay from Edison Middle School, who showed up to the reading wearing a Harry Potter black cloak. "Harry Potter is more exciting than a video game. And I'd like to be a writer when I grow up and write books just like these." Rowling, whose latest book sold 8.3 million copies in its first 24 hours, seemed eager to answer the children's questions. She sat atop a gilded and red velvet Romanesque throne with oversized Potter books all around. On whether or not she had an imagination as a child: "Yes, I was a great day dreamer. And it was an ambition to be a writer that came from childhood and never left me." On support from her family as a young writer. "No one in my family thought writing was a sensible idea. Ironic, really, as it turned out." On her inspiration: "I had a really great English teacher, so a good English teacher is gold. But my daughter Jessica actually was the true inspiration, the person who gave me a sense of self worth."

Rowling also spoke briefly with reporters, though she seemed to enjoy her interaction with the school children much more. She pondered why some religious groups protest the Potter series for its wizardry. "I believe passionately in freedom of expression and of speech," she said. "I've always taken the banning of my books as a compliment, if you look at which other authors are on that list. In a way it's great advertising." She told the press that she would not retire and would continue to write, though not just yet. "I will always write but I do feel as if I'm on vacation. For the first time in 10 years, I don't have a deadline," she said, explaining that she didn't know which genre she would choose next. "I'm spending time with my kids and I'm really enjoying that."

Hmm, good point, and they would be able to cram in all of the forest scenes in ten minutes or so. The films (especially the fourth and fifth ones) just feel so rushed. It really just feels like a recap. (Last time, on Harry Potter...)

the fourth one hurts my soul  :cry:

And I so hope Yates doesn't get to make that final (two) one(s), or does he? He doesn't, right?
I thought the fifth was ok (perfect CGI wise, omg, they need to keep those effects), but the changes in the sixth sound ridiculous.

Post by: friday on March 13, 2008, 08:43:18 AM
Furthermore, the paper cites producer David Heyman confirming the return of David Yates as director for both films, with Steven Kloves to finish out his duties as screenwriter for both Harry Potter movies as well. The movies are to be filmed at the same time, and will be released several months apart, with Part One due November 2010, and Part Two, May 2011.

Post by: Ryo-Ohki on June 17, 2008, 11:26:21 PM
Well, Having two movies for Deathly Hallows is a good idea, only if Christopher Columbus was doing the directing.  I've not been too much of a fan of the other movies, because they are too..dark.. and eerie.  In some cases, more sinister then the books really were.

Though, I really hope that John Williams does the music for the movies though. I think he was going to do the music for Order, but instead did Memiors of a Geisha.  

But honestly, They really should have done two movies for Goblet of Fire!  That book was a lot more detailed than the movie ever dreamed of.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 18, 2008, 02:19:57 PM
Huh, we won't agree on this one. I think the first two movies made by Columbus sucked something mighty - basically because they followed the books so much it made the whole thing pretty unnatural, too sentimental and corny (everybody spontaneously clapping when Hagrid arrived from Azkaban, blegh! just like your average American movie). But starting with Cuaron, the movies finally obtained natural dark humour and the interactions between people (especially students) became so real! The added in many jokes and dialogues that weren't in the books, but it had IMO a tremendously good effect.

Goblet of Fire left out so much information. It changed too much. So did Order of the Phoenix. Those last two ones were not all that great. I don't think they sucked but I was disappointed. The first two were the only ones that actually put details into them. Well as much as they could at least.

It only contained key events and that resulted in that there was no flow between the scenes somehow.

I agree with everything you said. After Columbus left they thought "oh, that's not important, we leave that out, and hey, let's give all of Ron's lines to Hermione, he doesn't have to talk, just be in the background while Harry and Hermione are the main characters, and another great idea: now that we left out all the boring stuff from the books let's add some new scenes, and characters and more romance". Steve Kloves needs to diaf.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 08:46:07 AM
I guess you are right, but actually I didn't really mind. It "flew" well for me. :D
As for details, I understand they are important. However, some people are way too strict about this - for example, when we were returning hime after seeing the midnight OoP, there were two teenage girls in the same tram who kept bashing the movie, basically saying things like "and in THAT scene he actually should have said THIS and then make a face like THIS and then it was supposed to be like THIS and he wore different clothes that he was supposed to and BAAAAH, THAT MOVIE SUXXX!"
Honestly, it was ridiculous. Making the movie detailed and true to the book is important, but not at all cost, else it goes downhill.
That was exactly what IMO happened in the first two movies - they were pretty true to the book, but mostly lifeless and sometimes downright embarassing (see said Hagrid moment etc.).
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: ferret on June 19, 2008, 08:55:02 AM
I don't even ask for everything to be like in the books but SOME things are were changed for obvious reasons:

- They make Emma look prettier in every movie (while in the book Hermione is avarage looking with uncontrolable hair) while they find time to fug up Neville?
- I hate that Ron turned into a wimp.
- Cutting/leaving out characters/storylines (Bill/Fleur anyone? Dumbledores funeral?*I hope that's still just a rumour*) while adding sidekicks just for the hell of it.
- What I thought was most drastic was when from movie 3 they were hardly seen in uniform anymore, like, in the first 2 movies everyone was in their robes most of the time and then all of a sudden they don't seem to be that strict about it anymore.

Goblet of Fire is my least favourite because it was just a big fat mess and Emma Watson made me cringe all through the movie, somebody tell the girl to get them eyebrows under control.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 08:58:03 AM
Hum... honestly, I don't care for many of the side stories (Bill/Fleur) for example. But what bugs me is constant cutting of good Snape material.  :?

And as for Emma's eyebrows... well, just downsizing! If you cannot have uncontrolled hair, then at least eyebrows.  :P
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: ferret on June 19, 2008, 09:06:58 AM
Snape was almost non existent in the last two movies, and while the HALF BLOOD PRINCE is basically Snape centric, they've already confirmed that it's gonna be a "romantic comedy" ugh.

Everytime I see them (the eyebrows) "act" I get the urge to punch her in the face. But I guess she has the same brows-acting coach Olando Bloom had.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 09:16:45 AM
They very well might. It's rather scary.  :?

Romantic is it going to be, huh? I suppose they will drive the Hermione/Ron shippers ecstatic.   :roll:

Anway, I always found it pretty funny how people argued whether it's Hermione/Ron or Hermione/Harry - and the ensuing bruhaha when it turned out to be the former. Like, wasn't it pretty obvious? If there is some cliche in the books, it's definitely this "I-couldn't-stand-you-at-first-but-now..." one.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: ferret on June 19, 2008, 09:22:43 AM
More like the Ginny/Harry shippers but it will be full of Ron making out with whatshername.

Haha, before I started reading the books I first saw the first two movies and after that awkward handshake scene in the second movie I was like "oh, they like each other" and my freinds (who HAD read the books) were like "what, she obviously likes Harry and doesn't really like Ron that's why she just shook his hand"  :shock:
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 09:27:10 AM
:shock:  :D

Ah, but in the end it's always people seeing only what they want to see! :D

(That handshake thing was obvious, though. She doesn't mind hugging Harry because she doesn't care, but she's embarrassed because she likes Ron. Anyone can see that! :D :D)

And you are right, Harry/Ginny shippers. Harry/Hermione shippers. Harry/Giant Squid shippers.  :roll:

Personally I ship Lucius and sexy, alternatively Snape and his boxers.

But did people actually think Snape was sexy before Alan started playing him in the movies?  :?
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 10:07:09 AM
I wonder. My personal guess is, that Rickman's performance has much to do with it, but on the other hand - Snape is that "dark, misunderstood and suffering" type, which makes him sexy to many (unfortunately, mainly to teenage girls and aged women with severe case of wayward maternal instincts).

Personally, I had first read the book and then watched to movie and I'm pleased to say that I found Snape the best character immediately upon reading the book - though I cannot remember whether I thought him sexy as well. Probably not, him being a man and all.  :P
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: ferret on June 19, 2008, 10:19:26 AM
I thought he was the most interesting since movie 1 (of course MORE interesting in the books  :P). And I'm attracted to Alan as Snape, not gonna lie, but I generally have an "old man crush" on him (esp. in Robin Hood, lulz).

Oh, and I hope they keep all the Luna scenes in the sixth movie, besides Snape (and Lucius) she's the best thing about the now-shitty movies imo.
Title: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on June 19, 2008, 10:23:21 AM
Alan Rickman is wonderful. Actually, I've been thinking about his Sheriff of Nottingham yesterday, when I was watching a particularly crappy Robin Hood series. What a pathetic Sheriff they had! Rickman was so much better. Really, people usually find themselves wanting him to win over that wimpy Costner-Robin.

And I agree that Luna is just perfect! (But for some strange reason, she reminds me of Minako Aino from PGSM so much!) :D

Costner even had cut some of Alan's scenes because he outshined him and omg he can't do that to Ke-vin Costner. Sucks for him that Alan was still better than him in the final version, pwnd.

I'm still waitijng for a proper SM live action move to happen.

Oh I agree with this. Personally I think they were intimidated that Neville(sorry the actors name is escaping me) grew like 2 feet since the last movie lol. But Ron was always a wimp. They just made him TOO much of a wimp. That Bill/Fleur story is going to bite them in the butt though later because the last one they're all at the Burrow setting up for their wedding. Just like how they cut out Quidditch but this next one they're going to throw it back in there. They really need to stop that.

Oh and they better not take out Dumbledore's funeral. How Riddikulus(haha). And Dobby being cut out too. They were going to cut out Kreacher from the last one but Rowling told them that they would pretty much screw themselves if they did that. So yea, this is why I get frustrated at these movies. I do enjoy them too just disappointed that they'd rather have someone kissing than key events.

Personally, I think they just might be planning to substitute Bill/Fleur wedding with Lupin/Tonks wedding, which could be even more attractive to many people.

It did, really.  In a way, I liked it, but in another way, it was.. rather... short.  It really disapointed me in some ways.

I'll have to go back and watch Phoenix again, though.

Though the best book in the series, by far was Deathly Hallows.

The last two books deal with Snape alot.  It's almost odd the way they do too.  But then you see why in the last book.  I don't think he really ever HATED Harry, but just who his father was...

Post by: leria83 on June 22, 2008, 11:29:17 PM
I personally think the movie(s) for Deathly Hallows is going to be a little boring. I mean look at all those chapters in the book where they're mostly just running around in the forest getting mad at each other. They're going to have to show more what's going on besides them too. I just want to see Voldemort fly lol. Oh and it would be cool if they could do the part when Professor McGonagall has the charging desks and chairs. I don't think that's going to happen though. Ah well.

Those, they can cut down on.  There is reason for some.. like the scene where they are in the forest and Snape sends his Patronis to Harry to lead him to the sword... that's key

And I pray they don't cut Kretcher

Frankly, I wouldn't object even to a 6-hours movie. They could do it with Gone with the Wind and it was still pretty watchable (even though they cut out two out of Scarlet's three children! :shock: ), so I can't see why they couldn't do the same with Harry Potter.

I was meaning the part when Snape dies and asks Harry if he can look into his eyes because Harry had his mothers eyes. I know they didn't really go into that in the previous movies but I thought that was an excellent part in the last book. Although it made me cry hysterically.

Goblet of Fire is on tv right now. Or it just ended but I think it's on again next. I just turned it on at the part when Cedric dies.

I loved it in HP too though. Me and my friend went to the midnight release of the seventh book and then she stayed over and we read it together. So it was hours of:
ME: OMG OMG OMG Did you get to page 3** yet?
SHE: Almost... Almost... OMG

but I don't think anything can beat

"Accio Hagrid!"

You know, I don't think I found it as funny back then as I do now. I mean the visuals are just hilarious. That would be AMAZING if they did that in the movie.

That would be really good. But then again, I wonder what will they actually put into the movie and what will be omitted.

Speaking about people who snuffed it in DH, whom did You feel really really sorry for?

Apart from Snape (I so much hoped he would make it through! >:(), I was pretty sorry for Fred and maybe Lupin. Tonks, Mad Eye and Dobby somehow didn't make me feel anything. And I actually thought that Hagrid would make a good dead hero (as he has always been one of my least favourite characters).  :P

A new article just released by USA Today reveals two awesome new pictures!

The trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince arrives today online and makes its debut in theaters Friday before The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Film editing is complete, says director David Yates, and studio officials will soon see the finished product.

Then next month, test audiences will get a sneak peek — something that doesn't seem to faze Yates in the least. "That's an incredibly useful process," he says.

The big reveal in the trailer (and in this exclusive photo from it): a glimpse of the young Tom Riddle, who grows up to become the wizarding world's most malevolent force, Lord Voldemort.

Yeah, needs more Snape. And Draco. And Draco's sexy papa. And Snape. I'm probably gonna see it. Damn that kid is really cute, they've manages to find the perfect people to play Voldy at every age so far. And people say they saw Greyback in the trailer (that profile in the dark).

And the music sounds like it's from Stargate  ;D
Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by: leria83 on July 30, 2008, 06:08:11 PM
I just think of it this way, there are most likely going to be other trailers from now until it comes out. So they have plenty of time to add other characters in them. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it yet but the kid who plays young Tom Riddle is actually Ralph Fiennes' nephew.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who thought of Stargate with that music.

I know but the last movies had a total of what, 5 minutes of Snape in them? I still haven't forgotten them saying it would be a "romantic comedy", which would mean that, again, Snape would not get the attention he deserves because this movie/book is basically about him.

Wow.  I thought Trainspotting was rather awesome.  It was rather shocking at times though.   

The book for Prince was rather deep...

Post by: Ryo-Ohki on September 08, 2008, 05:24:45 PM
I've got a big question.  I've been reading the series through, and I've noticed several minor discrepencies.

1.  Wasn't the kid, Nigel, (from Order of the Phoenix) related to Colin Creevy from the 2nd book/movie?

2.  The charm 'Levicorpus' DID NOT appear until Half Blood Prince.  Yet it was used in the OotP movie.  Harry had no knowledge of this spell for DA.

3. This one had to be the strangest one I stuck out on.  They really don't discuss the DADA teachers like they do in the books.  One died, one had his memory removed, one sacked, one a fake, one attacked by centuars, then finally Snape takes the job.


But here is the oddest thing.  When I read Sorcerer's Stone for the first time, I pictured certian types of people in the rolls.  McGonagall, I pegged to the T.  Dame Maggie Smith.  I could hear her voice in my head as I read the book.

To admit it now, I did see Alan Rickman as Snape.  He plays a fantastic bad guy, but he also plays other olls that are also very good.  Such as Trully Madly Deeply.




Title: Re: Harry Potter
Post by: Anna on September 08, 2008, 07:06:18 PM
1. Colin's brother is Dennis, he appears in GoF for the first time, I think.

2. Sorry, I don't remember, where did they use it? There is only one place where it could be used without - in Snape's Worst Memory, as James knew the spell and used it on its very creator - Snape.

3. Ummm... what do You mean, "discuss"?

Truly, Madly, Deeply is beautiful. :)

Post by: Ryo-Ohki on September 08, 2008, 07:48:01 PM
Yes.. Thank you Anna  :-)

They used Levicorpus in the Order of the Phoenix movie in during the DA sessions.  Plus, in Half Blood Prince, Harry used it on Ron, and.. on someone else..

I need to unearth two of my books CoS and GoF

Yes... I've not got the movie going infront of me, but I do know.. that I think they had Nigel in the air... It happened just before Umbridge and the snod squad broke in on them.

:D I don't complain because it most likely will suck in ways, though that's only part of the fun and a reason on its own for watching it... (IMHO though, it would be better suited right before Christmas- it's adorable how all those kids can be scared and I'd really like to see the parents' faces if the movie is really so hard on with druggie references and the like. That could be just another part of the fun, buh, a Christmas present of 'Hey, kiddos. Wizards are messed up *that* way *too* Don't tell me you didn't know'.)

I love Harry porter movie. Before I was though children stuff about this movie. But right now I realize Its a pretty movie. First of all talk about the movie concept so its totally different to another movie and very nice the all the stage and the real location and very tough to shoot there. I totally appreciates with this movie success.
