I don't wanna see! POA is my fave book and i don't want them to ruin it!
I think the films are quite good but they're nuthin like the film, they don't have the same feel so its always disappointing

Agreements! I am a long-time Potterholic, and right now, even though I have both on DVD, I dislike the movies. They downright ruin the books, and.... Eep! I can't wait, but I can't stand it either. The person who plays Harry Potter is terrible in my opinion.

yep! sounds really rude... but Harry Potter is supposed to be THIN! he wasn't fed properly for eleven years!
I think the girl who plays Hermione is way to cute and pretty. And isn't Hermione supposed to have long front teeth?  :?
Some of the characters have been done well though. I like (can't spell her name!) Professor McGonagol  :? and Snape :lol:

Another thing i don't like about the films. People watch them instead of reding the books the lazy gits! and then they judge it on the movies!

this is funniest fan fic I have ever read, and I've read A LOT.  They're mostly really bad, but this one had me rolling on the floor.

Title: Harry Potter #4 the Most Expensive Movie Ever
Post by: Ryou-Neko on January 19, 2004, 05:44:42 pm
I had a feeling something like this would be coming up. Harry Potter #4 is the most expensive movie ever to be made.

Also, I've heard that they're going to smash all of the scenes into another 2 1/2 hour movie. That's kind of stupid, since the book is huge.

EGH, why can't they just make a four hour movie and make people suffer?!? lol, i know that's not possible, but you can NOT put the third book in to a 2 1/2 hour movie and have it be really good. I'm really really skeptical about this movie. Book 3 is my favorite because of the detail that Rowling puts in to it, and i doubt that they're going to be able to fit it all in. Personally, i wouldn't be opposed to a really long movie if it meant that everything is included, however, i know that could never happen :-P Guess we'll have to wait and see!

i saw the preview for the 3rd one and it looked good. i'll be seeing it

i hope the 4th one turns out good. it's going to be hard to fit in all those scenes and details into a reasonably lengthened movie.

they sure are growing up really fast.

I wonder if thats going to be a problem for the kids that are really into the book, if they are going to judge them because they are getting older.

It'll probably change three times before it'll actually be released, like OotP did.

Plus, shouldn't this be in Entertainment - Movies, Books, TV, etc. ?

FINALLY saw Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today.  Don't know how I feel about it though.  I think it wasn't as fun because I went by myself and I wasn't with my usual Potterheads.  It took me a while to get into it, but toward the end it was very good.  I like this Dumbledore better, I have to admit.  Richard Harris didn't play up how funny Dumbledore is in the books, and this one definately did.  It was a lot darker, literally, and I also liked how they hinted at tension between Ron and Hermione.  I think the second one is the best of the three.

I know that JKR has copywritten eight names including the current five.  There was some speculation since she has confirmed there will only be seven books, so i think that she has eight just as a backup.  There is no release date for book 6, JKR's official site says she's still working on it, but at Amazon you can sign up to get email notification when the date is announced and then pre-order your copy.

I'm going to reserve the book when the release date is told. Im just going to pay more attention to what's going on. lol. I'm going to go and see the third moive in Imax on Saturday. I like the part where they sing. lol. That's a hobby of mine. I liked the third movie much better than the first two movies. It was darker, and i really like the Harry Potter movies darker. The first too weren't as good. Oh well.

I love daniel! *ky- :roll: *

haha that book is SO good. take your time with it - don't rush through it - there's a lot of important info and a lot of awesome detail that Rowling puts in to that book. So far book 3 and 5 are my favorite in the series.

5 is good, but horribly depressing. 4 is my fave

(good song)

As for the actual movies, I've only seen about half of the first one. Wasnt overly impressed.
