In fear of a new HP thread opening for every new book and movie, I made a general HP thread :)

~

Well, im going to watch the movie in 40 minutes. Hope its good :)

~

Just got back from the movies. And I must say im impressed. First of all, the over all movie was great. But there were two things that I didnt like to much.

First there was the filming. It was a bit shaky, changed angles to much and fast AND was from funny angles. It wasnt bad, but took a little bit to get used to.

Then theres the acting. It was obviously done by non-pros. It had a monotone feel, like they arnt even trying.

~

Over all, I beleave that the 3rd movie was the best so far. 8/10

I think Harry Potter books should be burnt then melted down, then shot into the sun.

I agree with Radical Dreamer. THEY SKIPPED SO MUCH! It f**king drove me up the dam* wall. I really wanted to see Rita Skeeter in a jar. *kicks the idiot who's idea it was to leave that out* Seriously, this damn movie was really short and they only went by the MAIN plot! WHat the hell is up with that?!Such great graphics...wasted.

I'm gonna go get to see it for my Bday.. did they really leave a bunch of stuff out? I thought they would..

I think Harry Potter books should be burnt then melted down, then shot into the sun.

Why do little children think its cool to say great things are bad?

Same reason why adults think it's cool to say bad things are great.

^XD too true

I'm not surprised they left so much out. The film industry only has a limited amount of time to put what's needed in the movies. Peter Jackson (?) how directed LOTR siad in a documentary how he wanted to have a scene in the first movie where the hobbits were walking through the old forest and they hear and see a shadow of Tom Bambidilo, but he couldn't because there wasn't enough time. Anyways, that's off the subject.

I haven't seen the fourth yet, and I won't till it comes out on dvd. (I don't waste the time and money going to the theaters. I invest in a nice home entertainment system). I'm excited because the fourth book is by far my favorite and probably will be considering where Rowling is going with the story.

My favorite movie so far is the first. I'd agree with RD on story wise and graphics, but too much was cut out. Anyone who would see the third cold turkey would be lost in the first 20 minutes. As apposed to the books Rowling has this touch in that she gives a synopsis of each character every single book.

I love the Weasley twins. I can't wait for the 5th movie becuase of the Weasly twins ropom with Umbridge. :lol:

Haven't watch it yet.. Just released today in my country. Is Cho Chang pretty??

she's okay. i've seen prettier chinese girls. the movie's great, though i wish it were longer.

I don't know about you guys, But I thought this movie was the best of the four. They did cut out a lot of stuff, yes, but how else could they put such a large book into a single movie? In order to get everything, they would have to make a two-part movie (Kind of like Kill Bill Volumes I and II, but with harry Potter :P).

Anyway... The movie is great, and Viktor Krum is HAWT. @_@

I think I read somewhere (or watched on a DVD extra? o.0) that the screenwriter worked closely with Rowling in order to determine what to keep and what not to keep, plotwise. Basically, only the essentials are kept, and what you see should give you a hint as to what'll happen in the last book . . I think :heh:

Gonna see the movie in just over an hour, whee ~

Radiohead's in the new movie. Well the drummer Phil Selway and one of their guitarists Jonny Greenwood are in it anyway. Them and that lead singer of Pulp Jarvis whats-his-name make up that band in the movie, thw Wyrd Sisters is it?

Anyway... The movie is great, and Viktor Krum is HAWT. @_@

I KNOW! OM-FUCKING-G He was sexy!

Anywhom, my favorite book was the 5th. It had alot more fighting.

i bet a lot of girls enjoyed the prefect's bathroom scene, o_O

<_<

And guys too!

Why do little children think its cool to say great things are bad?

And why would a thirteen year old be acting as if they were middle aged with the wisdom of the ages? And why someone who's sexual preferences seemingly should be promoting free speech and the freedom to choose be degrading someone's own personal opinion?

Moaning Mertle is a child molester! XD That scene was...awkward.

Personally, I enjoyed this movie the most. It was a lot more like an adventure than the other three. Plus, Moody was hilarious. I don't like how they did his eye, though.

I agree with everithing Maestrosetti said about Moody. I imagined him....diffrent.

Anyone who would see the third cold turkey would be lost in the first 20 minutes.

why does everyone say that? me and my brother watched the third one and we understood the whole thing... it wasnt that confusing was it?
seriously.. was it?

anywayz, yeah, you cant blame them for cutting out a lot because they have their limitations on how long the movie can go on for...
unless they kinda do it like kill bill where they show the movie in two sections

but! i havnt read the book yet.. and umm.. well the movie isnt even out here yet!!! ><"

OH! and on tv they are showing all 3.. well they showed the first one on saturday! and ahahahha they are soo cute! little kids and stuff... they look so much older and different now! and their voices! hahaha

and cha chong (?... she is the asian girl ya?) nah she aint pretty... she is meant to be.. but she aint
my friend was majorly upset that she wasnt pretty...
and i like rons new look... although now he doesnt look like the type to be scared and stuff...

and wait.. bathroom scene? O_O"

i also heard that in australia they might even rate the movie MA
its already rated as M for now... but they might change it to MA!!!
but hey, i cant complaign.. im old enough no matter what lol..
ARGHH its not even out here yet!!!

Aw...poor toki. I thought Cho looked pretty enough. But her voice! Terrible. I also didn't like Voldemort's voice. I was glad to see that they still had Wormtail cut his hand off, though.

The thing I loved about Cho was her accent. That was a HOT accent. I didn't like Voldemort much in any way. He wasn't scary enough (especially when he is that strange gremlin thingy before he's revived). I strongly disliked the third movie because it wasn't anything like I had imagined and they changed some of my favorite parts, and overall because that was my favorite book. The fourth is my favorite movie so far because I never was very attached to the book.

well i enjoyed the third movie.. because the author had the same idea as me when i think about going to the future and the past... on how it is your futur to go to the past.. so then erhh.. nevermind

iv seen the second movie the most often though... why? well i watched it at the cinemas, and also watched it at me friends house (coz he hadnt seen it yet and i just happend to go to his house when he wanted to watch it) and i also watched it at me cousins house (well... nothing else to do.. and it entertains the little kids) and so ill have to say the second one is me favourite (only becuase iv seen it one too many times and it hasnt annoyed me yet lol)

no idea if i said this before.. but i like rons hair... lol
arghh.. and you should see me friend, she is madly inlove with radcliffe and she is also madly inlove with ron (ahha i dunno what his real name is)
but anywayz...

Rupert Grint. Ron's real name is Rupert Grint....

The thing I loved about Cho was her accent. That was a HOT accent. I didn't like Voldemort much in any way.

The fourth is my favorite movie so far because I never was very attached to the book.

You said everything I was going to say, except that the book is my favorite. Dammit... <_<

Anyways, I loved the Harry vs. Voldemort scene. I also thought the Yule Ball came out nice. :)

This was the best movie by far... if only because I didn't have to crunch my face into a bad expression when something cliche'd or cheesy popped in... I was so out of the franchise after PoA which was so bloody horrible... Dan's acting being badly directed, horrible plot holes, bad scene changes, horribly uninteresting things added in... it was just bad. Only good for screencaps. This one though.. wow... just as visually stunning but it had a good thick plot. Yeah a lot of things were cut but the story was told... Unlike PoA, I think even non-readers will catch why everything happened with little trouble within 2 viewings. No SPEW, cool, not necessary and irritating anyhow... no Dursleys... well I liked the scene but not a big deal.. GoF was just beyond good... no unneccessary scenes of the trio groping each other, no cheesy lines, a plot that flowed beautifully, well-utilized scenes of the twins doing damage, Alan Rickman and Jason Isaacs physically abusing kids... And damn... Ralph Fiennes.. great great job.

The only things I really disliked were Dumbledore being totally out of character with the meltdown and the Harry shaking... I also missed the great scene in the hospital wing at the end of the book... one of my very favorites. And the gender-specific school thing is still a bit odd... I can see why they did it but still.

What I never understood about the second book/movie is that they say that the last time the chamber opened was 50 years ago; when Hagrid was a student. But wouldnt that make him like 60 years plus?~

Moaning Mertle is a child molester! XD That scene was...awkward.

maniac, thats's what she is, haha. she is a very lonely ghost after all. harry's effort in placing the bubbles near him was quite funny

i enjoyed the movie.. but i agree that it did kinda move a lil fast. i didnt really mind though.

and Viktor Krum is not that hot... it's all about draco malfoyyyyy! haha tom felton's matured into such a hot guy... i think cedric and even neville looked cute. haha =]

My second cousin was crying from the beggining of the movie because Cedric was so cute and he was gonna die...XD

This isnt a Whos Hottest poll...

Anywhom, I want to watch the movie agian...

~

Who thinks there will only be 7 books? I dont, because J.K. made it clear there will be one book for every year at Hogwarts, and Harry and gang isnt staying..saddly...

You never know. He could change his mind~

:P

I wouldnt be surpriesed if he does. I wouldnt be surpriesed if a lot of things happen actualy, J.K. is pulling a lot of tricks to keep her audience...

OH MAH GOD! MIRTLE AND HARRY ARE GAY WITH EACH OTHER!

I have one word, okay maybe two:

Ghost sex :ninja:

Gay Ghost Sex (aka Harry Potter and the GGG club)

TAG LINE

But which one is lieing about their gender? Will you ever find out? If you want to read this 10000 page book to see who is the lier.

NOTE 9999 of the 10000 pages have nothing to do with the plot what-so-ever.

COMING TO A STORE NEAR YOU IN THE FAR FUTURE

J.K. Rowling is a SHE! <_<

no.. they meant mirtle and harry... not harry and JK lol

i did the test thing... where you find out which team thing you are..
im a hufflepuff (i think thats what it was called)
a link you say? no i dont got the link.. i forgot to copy the link and stuff...

and as iv stated before.. i havnt read the book.. but in the movies you dont hear much about the other teams except for the two main ones...
or do you? i have no idea...

What I never understood about the second book/movie is that they say that the last time the chamber opened was 50 years ago; when Hagrid was a student. But wouldnt that make him like 60 years plus?~
I think so...but Hagrid's a half-giant, so maybe giants don't age as fast as humans?

no.. they meant mirtle and harry... not harry and JK lol

:sweat: I...just....noticed.... Sorry....

Lol, you didnt get the joke. Harry is male and Mirtle is female, so how can they be gay with each other? One must be lieing..

I did...

Yeah... and I think McGonagall is supposed to be a spry 70 or so years old... and we know Dumbledore is over 100. J.K. Rowling has stated that wizards age differently from muggles... they generally have about twice the lifespan... so one can imagine McGonagall probably looks like she's in her fifties. I doubt a normal woman in her 70s could take a number of stun attacks to the chest and not die. :P

Just saw the movie.

It sucked. I still consider the second movie my favorite.

Opinions:
1) Dumbledore is way too aggresive in this movie. Normally he's supposed to be a calm wise old man. Now he's screaming, yelling, and looking like he is going to kill someone.

2) Half of the movie the actors talk to quietly, or too fast. Many parts of the movie left me confused making me oftenly ask the person next to me what they are saying or, what they are talking about. (And I read the book too.)

3) Everything seemed to happen too fast. Many parts were left out, but that was expected since it is a 3 hour movie. (or 2 hours and 45 minutes.)

My Rating of the movie - 6/10

I have to dissagree about #1. Yes, Dumbledore loves Harry and is a jolly old man (Santa with magic powers) but when he yelled and grabed Harry, I think that was in fear of lose Harry. Dumbledore is like a granfather to Harry, and vice-versa, so I would be like "WTF" if Dumbledore just said "Oh, you may die in a compatition that you dont even qualify for. To bad :/".

And my post for #3 : HA, wait for the 6th movie to come out.

no.. they meant mirtle and harry... not harry and JK lol

Aww.. I wanna take the test too.

XD Dumbledore as a Santa with magic. That brings me so many funny thoughts that put a smile on my face.

I dont think the book made Dumbledore act that way, thats what I'm criticizing about. *rushes to the 4th book searching for the line*

i can't wait to watch the 4th movie ~!!!!...><"... it seems good ....
and i jus finished da 6th book .. yeh a bit slow now i know ... but... it's good .^^" .. except a sad ending .. *cries*

i kind of saw that coming, the sad part. wonder if there's still hogwarts next year...

I think so, Harry says lots of stuff and doesn't do it. ;)

Such as...?

So bump.

Waiting 3+ hours in line for the movie was I think worth the fun. It was the best movie, I think so far. Some things were left out, minor stuff so what ever, and if your lucky enough to get into a 3D showing like I was, be happy. Music was a bit lacking though, and Daniel cut his hair [wtf].

I almost saw a 3d showing, but glad I didnt it was expensive. and I didn't like the movie. I read the book and the book was better and I didnt really like the book. I think the first two harry potter movies were the best. I wish they didnt change directors, and Daniel should grow his hair back out.

Books are always better than the movies. Period.

For how long the fifth book was they did a very good job linking everything together (unlike the third). But that could also mean another thing: JK Rowling might be slipping in her writing(?). It makes sense because she could have published the last 6 chapters of the 6th book and it be just as good. And I also heard that she had a hard time with the 7th book. Meh, we'll just see.

Despite that, the movie was still good. Long, but good. The visual effects were very good. The best being the battle between the Order and Deatheaters The smoke teleportation was sweet. Also, the final battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort was sweet with the fire snake. (Go Voldemort!)

Oh god the ending was amazing! I couldnt stop thinking Gandalf and Saruman the whole time.

One thing I can't really imagine is an actual "full out war" the people keep talking about. LotR wars are cool because it isn't all wands, but HP wars?...

to be honest i was busy looking at cho <___< even tho she's not THAT good looking the did make her out to be simply eye candy and i kinda...was like "ok if she's eye candy...time to gaze at her"
........
i kid, the movie was not that bad

ok aznanimedude, but Cho wasnt in that many scenes in the movie.What did you do during the other parts of the movie? still to what u said lol. I find it kinda funny.
earlier I said I didnt like the movie, well when I was sitting in the theature thinking maybe if I sit like this I can sleep. But sadly these people sitting behind me laughed at everything. Harry would say "if we fight together we can win"... . or something like that and the people sitting behind me would start laughing. Really loud and obnoxious it was horrible.

the movie was ok.... the beginning almost put me to sleep but the ending was exciting XD

It seemed a bit rushed for me and lacking in something for me, but made out for an OK movie. I initially wanted to go see it 3D, but it seemed a tad pricy tho' I really wish I'd gone now, I heard it was quite the show.

The only major issue I had was Daniel Radcliffe's hair. It was bothering me the entire time I watched it. He had looked so much better with it longer, like in the Goblet of Fire. I had this urge to clamp his face in a vice and shave his head. Better off bald then scrawny. And scrawny is what his hair made him look like.

But it also made him look older. Maybe that was the look they were going for.

My best predictions for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows based on a re-read of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (most of these details are left out in the movie version, so don't trust that):

1. Dumbledore knew at the beginning of the year that Snape was going to have to kill him or die himself, and sacrificed himself instead of letting Snape die. Snape couldn't have rejected the plea by Narcissa for him to make the oath, because he would have been put under great suspicion by all the Death Eaters, and probably Lord Voldemort himself because of it. Therefore, Snape made the oath, but very soon after contacted Dumbledore and told him about it. This is why Dumbledore began "training" Harry, bringing him on missions, even before the term started: he wanted Harry to be ready for the time when he would have to be on his own, which he knew quickly approached. Furthermore, Dumbledore wouldn't have given Snape the "cursed" job of Defense against the Dark Arts teacher if he didn't think Snape would have to leave them at the end of the year, as it is fairly clear by the end of the book that Dumbledore did in fact know that the job was cursed. It is evident to me that Snape, although he is not really a good guy, is also not on Voldemorts side because of the fact that he was a member of the Order of the Phoenix and because he alerted the Order in the fifth book to the fact that he thought Harry had gone to the ministry despite the fact that he checked to make sure Sirius was at home, and he didn't really have to make that effort seeing that, to the best of his knowledge, Harry was still in the Forbidden Forest with Umbridge, perhaps lost. If he hadn't alerted the Order, Voldemort would have surely been successful in attaining the prophecy, and I'm sure he realized what was really happening with the vision of Sirius anyway.

On a slightly different note, due to what Dumbledore said about Harry being seen as more dangerous to Voldemort partially because he was a fellow Half-blood, and Voldemort seeing himself in Harry, it also seems possible that Voldemort is more willing to trust Snape because he is also a half-blood.

2. R.A.B. is Regulus A. Black, Sirius Black's brother. The locket that Dumbledore and Harry were looking for must therefore be somewhere that Regulus would have been. In the fifth book, when Harry, Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Ginny, Fred, George, and Mrs. Weasley are cleaning out the drawing room, they end up cleaning out a cabinet containing a bunch or dangerous artifacts left behind by the Black family, one of which is a large and heavy locket which cannot be opened. Later, in the sixth book, Mundungus steals and attempts to sell a bunch of these artifacts from the Black house, so my guess is that he is the one who has the artifact, or that he sold it to someone.

3. The prophecy clearly states that Voldemort or Harry cannot die except at the hands of the other. Now technically, by the way the prophecy is worded, it is possible that if one of them kills the other, then it is no longer true, because then the other could only live forever since he can't die any other way. However, I still am not sure whether this means that Harry and Voldemort must BOTH die, or whether it should be taken slightly less literally to mean that Harry will kill Voldemort (or possibly vice versa, but I seriously doubt this would be the case).

Quite Interesting Here are my thoughts

1.I never really read into it that much, but it does make sense. I wouldn't be surprised if Snape commited suicide. He has to choose between Voldemort or the Order, and no matter which one he chooses he's going to probably be hunted and/or killed by the opposite. If I were in that position, I seriously consider suicide. That's just me though.

I don't know about the halfblood stuff, but I do agree with you in saying that Voldemort sees himself in Harry. Obviously Harry is a threat, but perhaps Voldemort's looking to twist Harry into his ranks? A thought?

2.I thought that that was already established. If not it was clearly obvious, IMO.

3.I think it just jusitfies that no one, not even Dumbledor, could defeat Voldemort. It's probably just the less literal version saying Harry is going to kill Voldemort.

Really, you thought number 2 was obvious? Hmmm, I know that the 1st part is pretty obvious if you read book 5 again after book 6, but the second part is slightly less obvious, isn't it?

Snape didn't commit suicide. JK Rowling confirmed they will meet again

Last night my brother found leaked online scans of the book. He was up all night reading it. Insane.

GRAB THE TORCH AND PITCHFORKS!!! Siriusly (mwahahahahaha!!!! attack of the Harry Potter freak!), we should incarcerate him for such an atrocity! It's not like he couldn't wait for 4 whole days to go to walmart and pick up a copy at midnight!

Oh, he already has the real copy preordered. He plans on reading that one too once he gets his hands on it =P

:ph34r: I know the ending.

OMG, if you post it make sure you put a spoiler or

I'll e-ninja kill you.

i have the leaked online scans. i know what happens. FEAR MY SPOILER WRATH!!!

nah ill make you beg until you buy the book yourselves, or find a leaked copy.

My theory is that:

Voldemort will die. There is definitely a good trumps over evil kind of theme, Voldemort is protrayed as the ultimate evil. Rowling doesn't give you a sense of doubt that there could be some good in him. I think that Snape would die, but it seems too predictable though. I hope Snape isn't the backstabbing type. I want Fudge to die.

Surely this really isnt worth a spoiler...

Harry isnt going to die because it is essentially a childrens story and in children's stories good always wins. Thats not to say that I dont think Ron or Hermione will die though- i think at least one of them will. And I also think that Harry will kill either Snape or Bellatrix for revenge.

Rowling has stated that two main characters will die in Deathly Hallows, meaning Harry, Ron, Hermione and Tom [quite possibly Ginny also] will be gone. It would make sense for her to kill Harry, for the reasons many famous authors do while they write of their main characters demise; they don't want other people making money off of their universe.

Order of the Phoenix does state the the prophecy says either Voldemort or Harry can live, meaning one will have to die, or maybe both coinciding with the statement of two main characters being killed off.

@deathraider spoiler#1

No one knows wheither Snape is still on the Orders or the Death Eater's side, for your idea that he is good because he is in the Order is canceled because he is still a DE.

Snape could have easily rejected the unbreakable vow with Narcissa, claiming that the bidding of Voldemort is as is and anything that doesn't coincide is wrong. Snape was never told to help Malfoy, thus if he did, how would Voldemort react?

"On a slightly different note, due to what Dumbledore said about Harry being seen as more dangerous to Voldemort partially because he was a fellow Half-blood, and Voldemort seeing himself in Harry, it also seems possible that Voldemort is more willing to trust Snape because he is also a half-blood."

Though that is possible, Dumbledore stated many times in OotP that Voldemort needs no friends, has no favorites and works to his own biddings. At the same time, Voldemort is still "human" [was] and may still have feelings as a human does.

No one, you sure about that? And as for a children's story, eleven people die, at least. =\

Its grown from a children's story to just a plain story. [pulled that from the cover flap, ty Steven Kng lol]

No offense, RD, but...you're not making any sense to me.

She meant HP to be a children's story, it was published as one also, but Rowling even said she doesn't look at HP as a children's story anymore, especially since there are many non-children/anti-kid elements in it [omg harry likes girls? eww].

I know. Major ewww. Harry should like GUYS.

I had to read the spoilers in wikipedia. Please do not read if you can't accept spoilers.

Well, I am right for the main characters. So much for analysis, RD. Some of the so called unanswered questions were so obvious. So many people died.

I'm on about page 100 of Deathly Hollows. If you haven't read up to there, DON'T click the spoiler.

POOR HEDWIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did they have to kill her? T_TAnd Mad-Eye! WHY!?!?!?!?! I'm not even that far, and they've died!

I'm done, and most of my suspicions were correct...(except about the flying motorbike).

Edit: Did anyone else notice that Harry didn't destroy a single horcrux?

Wow, no I didn't notice that.

I did think that she kind of glossed over Remus and Tonks dying... I skipped right over it and she mentioned it later on and I was like... 'wait, they DIED??'
Or maybe I just read too fast. :heh:


I know. Major ewww. Harry should like GUYS.

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD

Ignore this.

WHY DID FRED HAVE TO DIE? ;__;

The Weasley twins were my favorite! I feel so sorry for George. It's like half of his soul was missing. I cried on and off during the book, but I cried the most when I read that Fred died.

And I kinda wanted to know what happened to their shop. JKR should of put something in there on how George would handle the shop, if he closed it down, etc.

But still... FRED! NO!

Woops, I lied, he destroyed Riddle's Diary.

OMG, HARRY'S NOT DEAD!!!!! I really thought he would die...poor Lupin, we didn't even see him die...

WHY did Harry have to marry Ginny? He should have married Draco...

AMEN!

WHY did Harry have to marry Ginny? He should have married Draco...



YES! :D

Is it just me or does anyone think that Luna Lovegod (spelling?) in the movie (HP5) was a pretty decent actress (or was actually high whilst filming)?

The only good actors in the movies anymore are Snape, Luna, Hagrid and Hermione. And maybe Voldemort.

Is it just me or does anyone think that Luna Lovego[o]d (spelling?) in the movie (HP5) was a pretty decent actress (or was actually high whilst filming)?

I love Luna to death. Both character and acting were genius.

The book is great. Second favorite if not best to Order of the Phoenix imo.
The beginning dragged way to far. The forest part [half the book], wtf was that? The ending was great.

There was this thing on TV a back while where kids asked Rowling about the book, and she said that Hermione, Ron and Harry work in the ministry later, Harry and Ron being revolutionizing aurors and Hermione, I can't remember. Heres it on Wikipedia:

"Rowling gave additional information on the futures of the main characters that she chose not to include in the epilogue of the book. She stated that Harry becomes an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He owns Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him. Because Voldemort's soul fragment inside him was destroyed, Harry can no longer speak Parseltongue. Harry's best friend Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, eventually becoming an Auror. Ron's wife Hermione initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws. She also finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them. Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then leaves her athletic career behind for marriage and family with Harry. She eventually becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

The fates of several secondary characters were also revealed by Rowling. Surviving twin George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, helped by Ron. He names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother. Erstwhile Dumbledore's Army member Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, the grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander.[7] Her father's publication, The Quibbler, has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy" and is appreciated for its unintentional humour. Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable. Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.

There has been a transformation in the wider wizarding world. Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official. As one of the reforms introduced by Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. Consequently, the world is now a "much sunnier place". At Hogwarts, Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was. Nevertheless, its dark reputation lingers. Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) position is broken with his death, and there is a permanent DADA teacher. A portrait of Snape did not appear in the headmaster's office as he abandoned his post before dying. Harry intends to lobby for the addition of Snape's portrait, and reveals to all Snape's true allegiance."

So how much of that is actually true?

The parts of Harry, Ron and Hermione are, I saw an interview with her where she said it.

IDK about the rest.

Link or it didnt happen.

You can or cannot trust me.

EDIT:

found it. gj on being an ass about it

she should have put all of that into the book somehow.

it was a great book, but i found the ending a bit of a let down; like she'd only actually planned as far as the conversation with Dumbledore's portrait and realised she couldnt exactly just leave it there

The only good actors in the movies anymore are Snape, Luna, Hagrid and Hermione. And maybe Voldemort.

The actor that played Dumblebore in the first two movies is, IMO, the best and closest representation of Dumblebore in the book. I almost cried when the actor died... the replacing actor didn't do that good of a job picking up what the other actor left off.

Yeah, that's why I said 'anymore'.

i think the actress of luna was much too pretty! i always thought of luna as kinda average or maybe a bit ugly.. can't help it ^^

I always thought her as dreamily pretty. I loved her acting.

and hair.

where was the hat?

where was the hat?

good question.

There was quite a few things that made the books 'specialy cool that the movies ALWAYS leave out its pissing-ly stupid.


The Swamp
Brains in a Tank
Bird of Age
Luna's Hats
The Wall of Obedient House Elves

Of course. And some don't even take that much effort.

Just put a hat on Luna's head.

Bam.

well actualy it would have taken effort, IMHO, as she had "lil" backround as it was, it woulda needed more screentime for the personality. Basicaly as far as I see it they had 2 choices, put the hat in the movie and have fans bitch about how twodimentional the character was and how it had no depth or leave it out and have them bitch about how it wasnt there.

I didnt like the movie at all, then again I kinda went into it with the mentality that it would, the book was good but the end seemed far too hurried and personaly caused more more questions than it answered.

@RD: Dont be a whiny bitch, get over it, this is the internet where facts and figures are thrown around every 2 seconds. Dont get pissed at me for asking for proof, next time include it in your original post and avoid anyone having to ask for it.

assuming you mean book 7, i agree with what you say in the spoiler

Amen!


The movies aren't that bad when all you want to see is the main part of the book acted out. And the special effects. Gotta love the special effects. If you really want the meat and potates, read the book.

Scenario one - "Do you have a link or something?"

Scenario ass - "LINK OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN"[/omit cap]

Its an on the spot variation of "pics or it didnt happen" which online is a phrase in common usage, and would in most scenarious be greeted with lols and giggles, seriously pull that stick outta your ass.

Any other problems with me, take em up privately or through the appropriate mod. Any other posts in this or any other thread regarding the subject will be ignored.

Thanks for your time.


@Sondagger, normaly I would agree, sometimes we just expect too much, but I think this movie was just dissapointing in most senses, I think throughout the movie we all spotted a few things that could have been better explained/shown.

I read all 7 books and seen all the movies, so far made. I personally would like to recast Harry and Hermione, but thats just me.

I just finished reading the 7th book and it was amazing. They better not cut anything when they make the 7th movie...

~Kevgar

yeah right. You wish. 700 page books dont fit into a 2 hour movie.. even at the speed you read (say 1 min per page) thats a lil over 11.5 hours, and we all know alot of the things in one page would take a lot more than a min to act out (minus descriptions, but still)

Hope for the basics, and a tiny bit of character development and explanations. Then maybe, just maybe some snazzy special effects and watching the end of a series will avoid you any dissapointment.

In HBP There doing Quidditch I think They better, because that way we get too see more of Luna, Evanna does an awesome job playing her by the way, and if they do can't wait for this line "Harry is fighting with his Keeper, don't know how thats going to help him find the snitch" or something like that :lol:

OOh and the 7th book wasn't it more like 768 pages?

It is officially declared by J.K.Rowling that Albus Dumbledore is homosexual. Interesting, much?

My brother was the one to reveal this information to me. At first I thought he was just being mean... XD

Its an interesting fact, tho irrelevant.
Whad she want to acomplish with this? to prove that homosexuals can have an equaly important role in chilrens books? watch it get turned into to how Albus was a closet fag and thats why he took an interest in Hary.(not to mention keeping hagrid around, and a new reason for voldermort to fear him, I mean...Albus liked muggles, he raped teh voldy now voldy hates muggles because since albus liked muggle borns he was picked for his fun)

I bet theres gonna be a spike in fanfics too...dont know which way tho.

I swear, I never thought I'd hear something that fucking stupid coming from you Luis.

...
Im not saying its what I think, but it WILL be a position taken, admit it something of the sort will happen.

So he was a fag, I dont care, he was one kickass motherf*cker. but others will, and they'll use that fact to try and make both the character and the author look bad.

Its not all "Oh so he was gay..big deal" we all know that, so this discussion cant be just that, you gotta see all the angles even the retarded ones, sure I prolly exagerated my post but comeon...*points to the internet* being on here you should have seen the level of stupidity that can be reached by humanity.
