For anyone who hasn't, READ the parody of the 7th book: http://diogenes-sinope.blogspot.com/2007/0...a-spoilers.html So, so, so funny. I'm slightly scared... but I think I might try it after I re-read the whole series. ahahaha |

The problem I have with the book to movie translation is that the book does a lot of explanation. The books focus on Harry, who finds increasingly more clues to whatever challenges he's facing at the moment, and he explains his new findings to his friends. This works pretty well in a book, and it's not boring or repetitive. But if these same scenes were reworked into a movie, it would exactly that. They would have made the same mistake that The Da Vinci Code movie made. So, to me, it's acceptable to omit some parts - they are not all entirely workable, and I understand that. Yeah, I agree with you on this one. They can`t put every single detail in.That would just be insane. (Although it might be nice for the super-mega harry potter fanatics. |

^ Haha, that's true. I totally wouldn't mind sitting through an 8 hour movie, but you have to admit that would be a little self-indulgent.
WHO CAN'T WAIT FOR THE HP THEME PARK?!??! |

I actually haven't been that affected by it ending. Mainly because I've become more obsessed with the Twilight series, but that's beside the point. XD
I still feel the same reading the series again, and it's still a great experience. Since there's so much material in the books, I can still read through them and enjoy it just as much as I did when they first came out. But....still....Hedwig and Dobby. TT_TT Oh, and I laughed my ass off when Dumbledore was announced as gay. I think it's great. XD Doesn't change things one bit. He's still my favorite character. |

I kinda think J.K. turned Dumbledore gay to either: A. Help out some cause with her book series. I mean hey, better than to have the books be knows as only books people wish they actually lived in. B.Turned more media press for the 7th book. either way, I dont care if he was gay. A flamer kicked all the evil guys' asses. And he did it with style. +10 points |
