Harry Potter..., the aftermath more than half a year later Options

[missnh]

Anyways, I just restarted re-reading Harry Potter. After reading the last book, it was very, very difficult for me to pick up the first book again so close to reading Deathly Hallows but now I've decided it's time again! It's quite an embarassing / humiliating experience to read during class, since I laugh out loud and almost cry... But it's definitely worth it to go read over those random details that suddenly make sense.

*tears* What has your experience been with the whole "aftermath"?

Anyone think it's weird that they're splitting up the seventh one rather than the sixth one?

I think there's a lot more to fit in the sixth; I don't know how they're going to do it. A large part of the seventh was just them walking through the hills and teleporting places which, really, they could skip over a bit of...

I think it is a bit weird, since a lot of it could be omitted. Not that I didn't enjoy reading it, but it's not totally necessary for the movie. I hate it when HP fans say things like "OMG THE MOVIE SUX CUZ THEY LEFT OUT ___ AND ___ AND ____"...shit, if every single moment was captured on the film, you'd have an 8 hour movie on your hands. Books simply cannot be translated into film seamlessly and people need to accept that.

Anyway, I think the 6th one could have been split up as well, but since they've already filmed/in the process of filming the 6th movie, they can't split it up now. And it would've been weird to split up the 6th one, yet let the 7th one be one movie...it seems more final this way.

I just get mad when they change certain details unnecessarily ... and the fifth one made me mad, just cause they left SOOOOO much out, and it was short, and I think it will make it confusing for people who haven't read the books when they see the last two (pending they leave it all in). I really don't know what they can chop out of the sixth while still making it all coherent. All that stuff Harry and Dumbledore did...I don't know how in the world they're gonna do it all.

Seriously. My sister (who doesn't read harry potter) watched the 5th movie and had no idea what was going on through most of it. I don`t mind that they take things out (albiet very minimal things) but to change certain things for no reason is just not cool.
