But I'll be crying from the time Dumbledore dies.. till it finishes most likely. I am hoping that they make it more tragic than they did with Sirius' death though. That was just lame >:C |
I see them doing the funeral because its quite an important part of the book..especially since dumbledore has been a key role in each of the books/movies..i cant see them cutting that out...it will be an emotion catcher and they will use it
|
I'm just hoping that if they do the funeral, they will make it better in the Half-Blood Prince than they did with Siruis' death in Order of the Phoenix. I don't want it to be downplayed or anything. I want the full on funeral, emotion, everything.
omg -stupid- I just realized that the two way mirrors weren't a part of the movie at all! I always thought that that was an important part to the ending and all that jazz because he could so easily have spoken with Sirius. Stupid movie makers DX |
yup this is why i try hard to treat the movie and books as seperates..that way im not really disappointed..they are both creative arts..and you know Rowlings has some say on the screenplay..its not like she doesnt have any input on what to put into the movies..so its not always the movie creators fault..

I know she has a small say in the movies, but that's really it. She can reccomend the things that she would like to see in the movie and all that stuff, but I don't think she gets her way at all. If I were her, I would fight for certain things that they left out. ljosberinn: Yes, he did just before they took the Knight Bus back to Hogsmeade. It was supposed to be a way for them to talk to each other without getting caught but Harry didn't want to be in contact with Sirius at all for fear that something would happen to him, so he never opened it until he saw the package in his trunk at the end of the year while packing. I'm trying to keep an open mind about the director of the fifth movie, because I mean he does bring in his own kind of mystique to the movie and he did really well on some things. I'd be willing to give him a second chance for the next one. |
i dont see why Rowlings just doesnt get rights to writing the screenplay like many other authors do..that way the material will be completely what the true author wants..but i still love the movies no matter what and i actually liked the new director and his take on it..i think he did a fab job..

I don't think that the other authors write the screenplays though. Its written by someone else who will base it off of the book. |
I wanna go see it.
I liked the 4th one. |

Steven King is a given. I'm not really a fan of his writing, though I do like quite a few of the movies. I just can't stay focused on his novels.

It was awesome! A little lacking in the detail but the graphics were really good and it was a damn sight more informative than the last four. I think it is a step up for sure, but The Order Of The Phonex was always my favourite Harry Potter book.

I took the kids to go see this yesterday afternoon and as I have stated in other threads I have not read the books. My daughter has. Seeing this movie as someone who had no idea there should have been other details included that were not, I have to say this movie fell completely flat.
I didn't feel entertained. I felt like I watched a bunch of cool special effects and people going through the motions of Harry Potter. The main characters were lifeless and unappealing. I will say though that I loved hating Umbridge and the whole censorship going back to the 50's teaching style, was fantastic but it also felt kind of Dead Poet's Society to me in some ways. Maybe it is just me. My daughter ranted for about an hour afterward. She hated it. |
I was disappointed with this one too. They left way too much out, and Sirius's death scene was way too quick, it seemed.
Though the whole fight scene with the Aurors and Death Eaters zooming around in the white and black light/smoke was amazing, I must say. They could not have picked a better Dolores Umbridge, though. Luna as well. She was exactly as I imagined her. Filch tottering around on that ladder as he put up those notices each time did make me laugh, too. I wish they would bring back the director that directed the third movie. By far, that is still my favorite out of the novels and the movies, thus far. It had some bits missing, but how are you going to put EVERYTHING into a 2 - 3 hour movie? Order of the Phoenix was a failed movie, in my book. |
At least they still have Sirius Black in it! At least the Fred and George departure show a bit! At least many of the main plots are in it. We should be thankful that there is even such movie made.
*haven't watch it yet, waiting for DVD, but can figure a bit by the conversations here...* What I mean is, if they are going to change a whole lot of things why not just make a completely different movie? If it is a movie under the name of the 'Harry Potter', it should shows Harry Potter, not the movie's recreation. Of course, there could be minor changes, and creative add ons, but not changes and MAJOR leftouts and also entertain left outs. I try to understand the budget, money and time that the movie making is facing, but if it is a GOOD movie, why not invest on time and money? It sure will pay off at the end, if people sees the effort. And, since Prisoner of Azkaban movie, I was already thinking, that even the third starting to left out something, how would theymanage Goblet of Fire? And it seems, they still manage the Goblet of fire, with MORE thiings left out and changes. I still cannot understand why it cannot be made into a series? I am sure 10 episodes WOULD finish the book off! I am not wanting EVERYTHING in the movie, I am just wanting the MAIN thing in the book for the movie. |
I can't wait to watch this one...since I'm on vacation right now I'll have to wait until I'm back home because I want to watch it in English, and together with my hubby. Too bad that by now the storyline has been totally spoiled for me ( I haven't read any of the books yet, waiting for the complete boxed set to come out in September), but hey. At least I can watch it for the acting and effects.

5th movie > 1rst, 2nd and 4th combined. 3rd is still the best, though. .__.
My opinion is that they did cut out a lot, and that's gonna piss off some die hard easily irritable fans, but I think it's ridiculous if they get mad. It's an 800 page book, they could only stick to everything that only contributed to the main plot, and there was a LOT of sub-plots in that book. So, it's only natural they cut out so much and everything that wasn't cut is pretty much word-to-word for the book. Besides, anythings better then the GoF, which was like a train-wreck. The only thing I absolutely despised was how Sirius died. The Avada Kadavra took away some of the dignity and grace he died with. |
Actually for me the fourth movie is my second fav, the 3 is the best to me.
But the fith, well to me, horrible. Not woth seeing in the expensive theater. I mean, it wasn't bad. But not too good. I thought it would be A LOT better than it was.... =/ |
