Yeah we totally had a OotP movie debate here before. Personally I really enjoyed the movie as a movie. Not particularly in comparison to the book, but it's completely understandable just because of the sheer volume of material to work with.
I think it's important to go into that theatre thinking to yourself: I'm going to judge this as a movie, and not as a book to movie adaptation. You'll find yourself enjoying it a lot more. Also, DON'T READ THE BOOK RIGHT BEFORE THE MOVIE. That leads to so much more disappointment, haha. |

i don't know that it was my favorite book but i agree that they leave too much stuff out. like in Prisoner of Azkaban (i think that's the one) when they kept doing all of those scenic shots of the lake and the whomping willow in the different seasons. they could have been showing so much more of the story itself. would love it if they would just make a full length movie.

I LOVED the third one when I first saw it, but now I can't sit through the whole thing. The end just kinda drags because we're pretty much being shown the same thing twice. I think they could have changed that part around a bit.

i don't even remember how it ended. i didn't like the werewolf(sp?). they could have done better with the graphic on that one. they did pretty good with the hippogrif(sp?). man my spelling is off tonight.

But Lupin's the shit.
 But yeah, the 3rd movie was my least favorite. I agree with Gabi on how the fifth movie was a disappointment, too. But I can't f*cking wait for the sixth one. From the book, the only thing I remember is who dies

Luckily, I still have a pretty good idea of what happened in the 6th book. Keyword here is horcruxes pretty much. There will be a lot of trips in the Pensieve for sure. :D
CANT WAAAAAAAAAAIT |

QUOTE(Janette @ Mar 26 2009, 09:55 PM)  just thought i'd post these.  DAMN I was getting nervous about the whole Harry/Ginny on film thing (because she looks so young) but after seeing this shot, I'm definitely cool.  |

Ha. Don't read about the cuts then. I totally get that not everything can fit into one movie (hell, they're splitting the last book into two films) BUTTTT, there's always a part of me that gets a little disappointed at some of the scenes/characters that get cut from the films.

I don't know. I think that for the most part, they do a pretty damn good job with the films. Each film has its own character/style, which I've always appreciated. I take the bad with the good and walk away with more positive than negative.

Just don't read the books before the film, and you'll be good.
Damn Ginny and Harry...still awkward. Probably will be just as awkward as Cho and Harry. I wish they would make Draco more the hot sexy bad guy rather than the cowardly ferret-y bad guy. Yeah, totally not true to character but makes for a good watch... |

Hermoine and Harry is what I used to think of before they classified themselves as "pretend siblings".
Major awkward. |

Never read the book, but the trailer looked great.
The special effects has gotten better! The ghost part. |

I saw that on the news this morning and got so excited that I forgot my lunch.
I can't figure out what a lot of those parts are. I guess that's a good thing since I can't be as disappointed that they left anything out if I don't even remember what happened. |

The sixth one looks much darker and more intense than the fifth. Most of the fifth was far too silly; that song associated with Umbridge in particular. It was the shortest of all the movies which really is the most illogical thing. But yes, all the previews (especially the one on the entrance page to the official site) look so incredibly amazing and my heart beats way too fast every time I watch them.
