Ah another pointless hate-filled whiny rant. So you don't like to movies? Don't watch them, go read the books instead. No ones holding a gun to your head and forcing you to watch the movies. And for crying out loud, quit whining. It's irritating.

I thought this was a good idea.
I just hope they call it something other than "deathly hollows" because really "deathly hollows" plus "deathly hallows part 2" sounds stupid, call one part something else.
ALso, interspark... how on earth have you gone without being banned so long? I swear your just...
*storms off, slightly pissed*

I haven't seen any of them past The Goblet of Fire in the cinemas. Will probably wait until it's out on DVD and borrow it from someone.
Didn't like Goblet of Fire at all. They missed a lot out of it, and the dragon sequence went on too long. They should have added some of that length to the underwater scene.
Might go see them, depends on if I can find people to go see them with.
I like the fact they are trying to put EVERYTHING into the last adaptation by splitting it into 2 films, but why did they have to do it with the last book? It was easily my least favourite of the lot (Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire are my favourite Harry Potter books, lost faith in the films when the GoF film sucked) and the ending was one of the worst I have ever read. It's as if JK Rowling knew it was the end and just decided to write anything.

First, I think the Harry Potter movies have been pretty good quality so far, especially the third (partly because it was the best source material) and the 6th one. I don't think they're as good as the books, but then again no one does, and there's also a certain element of always preferring your first encounter with the story.
Secondly, book seven really needs to be two films. There's a good reason film 5 and 6 weren't in two parts each. It's because not enough happens. While very good, long books (though 5 can be a little iffy at times) much of them is spent talking and doing the usual school stuff and going though the whole teenage romance stuff, no real action scenes or huge plot points in either to speak of the except for the final.
Book 7 however has a very different pace to all the other books. It's action after action after action, plot point after plot point after plot point. Hell, the second half of the book is basically just one long action sequence with no time to breath (or wipe the tears off your face *sniff*). Cramming all that in a less than 3 hour movie would just be impossible. It's the shortest of the lot since book 3, but the whole thing is quite literally stuffed. It's partly my gripe with the book. Harry Potter has always put characters before story, book 7 doesn't have time to stop for the characters, plus it doesn't have nearly the same level of charm as the others, so much so it feels almost like a book from different series all together. Still a very good book though, and I think it's format could make for the best movie(s).
EDIT: FYI this doesn't mean they're going to get every frigging detail in there. Even with two movies there just isn't the time, and frankly it's just not feasible or right. Movie adaptions of books shouldn't try to copy page for page, it just ends in disaster. They're two different mediums and should be handled differently.

I don't expect movie adaptations to be as good as books. I guess you could call me jaded, but it's just not realistic to expect a movie to match the book down to the last detail. Most of the time, they don't do a bad job anyway (notable exception: Eragon.)
I don't know about you but if film 5 was any longer I would have screamed. It was too long a book and WAY too long a film.Dags90 said:
