- ConnerCarlson, on 03/24/2009, -2/+52Half-Blood Prince will be a very good movie, but the Deathly Hallows had better be EPIC
- ScoutzMom, on 07/03/2008, -1/+42One film for "Half-Blood Prince," two films for "Deathly Hallows."
- TheChunt, on 07/04/2008, -3/+42You sir NEED to be in the movie business.
- mentat0, on 07/04/2008, -3/+22It doesn't matter whether the movie is good or not. It has the Harry Potter branding, thus it will make money, lots and lots of money.
- arunforce, on 07/04/2008, -2/+21for a torrent.
- fitqueenb, on 07/03/2008, -3/+22I am sure this will be a hit, just like the others
- juliebubb, on 07/03/2008, -4/+22Cannot wait for this movie...it'll take an age to hit the cinema's in Ireland though...sigh
- ericjohnson0, on 07/04/2008, -0/+18Gandalf...? Never knew HE went to Hogwarts...
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -4/+20Oh yeah, throw hayden panettiere in the mix as well
- jcaffoe, on 07/04/2008, -0/+15Alfonso Cuaron's take on the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of my favorite films, period. I wish they would have gotten him back for one of the later, darker parts of the series.
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12Good things come to those who wait . . .
- xL0Sx, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10I'm tired of people pointing out their tired of anything, wait.... damn
- Hockey13, on 07/04/2008, -13/+23Look, I like the books, but the movies, IMO, are just terrible. The production quality is pretty good and the directors they've chosen are interesting, but if you compare this entire series of films to the LOTR or even the Harry Potter books, you realize there's one glaring difference: consistency.
If you watch the HP movies from 1 to 5, actors are different, plots unexpectedly change from one movie to the next, sets are totally different, lighting is different, etc. When you watch the LOTR movies in succession, it feels like one movie seamlessly fits into the next. When you read the HP books, the consistency of the storyline and the attention to detail are some of the most important aspects that make them interesting.
Add on top of that a lot of pretty poor screenwriting and acting (mostly from the kids), and it turns into an incoherent series. I personally can't wait until they revisit this 20 years from now and make 7 epic movies more or less at the same time, just like they did with the 3 LOTR movies. - SSUK, on 07/04/2008, -0/+10Then stop ***** advertising it to more idiots. Rules 1 & 2 are there for a reason.
- lennybird, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9Such a damn shame the first dumbledore died (R.I.P.). He was absolutely perfect. In goblet of fire when the new dumbledore freaked out at Harry about whether he cheated to get his name in - that definitely is not the dumbledore I remember.
- veganpa, on 07/04/2008, -1/+10What khoa said -- they have totally messed up the movies' Dumbledore. He is not so out of control, etc. Have they even read the books?
Oldman rules (ruled), though! - inactive, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9it needs Peeves. End of story.
- paulvq, on 07/04/2008, -0/+9You know what I'm ***** tired of? People like you whining about everything.
- khoa1708, on 07/04/2008, -12/+20unless they stick with the stories written in the books rather than trying to create "hollywood magic", HP movies will never be good...
P.S. - REPLACE THE PERSON PLAYING DUMBLEDORE - inactive, on 07/04/2008, -2/+10She's one smart lady who knows how to make gazillions easily.
- umbrellainabin, on 07/04/2008, -4/+12***** yea
- ijacker, on 07/04/2008, -1/+8you just saved a whole bunch of ppl $
- or3n, on 07/04/2008, -0/+7which one? aren't they splitting it into two movies?
- RegularJohn, on 07/04/2008, -4/+10And so it begins. Another harry potter movie, another billion dollars for J.K. Rollin. Can't say she doesn't deserve it, the books and movies are truly magical.
- dxgg, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7Worst book? Naw, it was pretty darn good. "Order of the Phoenix" was the worst book, I thought.
- jugglingjon, on 07/04/2008, -0/+6I don't know about that. You say that the books were consistent throughout, but they really changed in their attitude as the series went on. The first two were far more childish than the last two, which were pretty dark. The fact is with different directors you're going to have a different look, but I'd say that fits just fine with the way the books evolved.
What actors/sets are so different from film to film? Are you talking about Dumbledore? He's the only major character I can think of that they switched actors with, because he DIED. If anything, I'm impressed with how they kept the cast consistent across films. The sets seem pretty good too, not sure what you're talking about there either.
And what does 'plots unexpectedly change from one movie to the next' even mean? It's a different movie, based on a different book; it's going to have a different plot. - potterboy, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7My only question is where is the teaser trailer?
- thebellmaster1x, on 07/04/2008, -1/+7Yes, because Emma Watson and Ellen Page were invented by 4chan.
If there's one thing worse than breaking Rules 1 & 2, it's thinking that everything good comes from /b/. GET A LIFE OUTSIDE OF 4CHAN. CHRIST.
Also, only newfags say "newfag."
Enjoy your complete and utter failure and your terrible, terrible humiliation, you unbelievable retard. I hope you fall off of a cliff.
ON FIRE. - Kakemonstere, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7Well, he doesn't really "kill" him:P
- inactive, on 07/04/2008, -3/+8I'm indifferent. I read the books but I really can't say I care about the movies. The first two (movies) were bloody awful and that's kinda left a bad taste in my mouth.
- whitneylauren, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7I don't know if it is easy to write books as intricate as those. Plus the writing consumed 20 years of her life!
- Stormwern, on 07/04/2008, -2/+7They stuck with David Yates for the last two?? Worst director they've had on the project, wish they'd have brought back Curaron or Newell instead.
- SSUK, on 07/04/2008, -0/+5http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_Page
- jupaneanu, on 07/04/2008, -4/+9Can't believe it's that time again...I love the hype before Harry Potter movies
- crowbar77, on 07/04/2008, -3/+8shes 18 now...
- thebellmaster1x, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4You know who I think would make a great Dumbledore? Richard Harr–
Oh. Damn it. - Kakemonstere, on 07/04/2008, -2/+6So ***** true! The guy playing Dumbledore is a ***** disgrace with his anger management problems!
- gryphon50, on 07/04/2008, -0/+4I really miss Richard Harris, he nailed it right on the head.
- ZGambit, on 07/05/2008, -0/+3OK like a lot of people I have read the books and seen the movies....
The best comments about answering this question are from? ccarlson22, Hockey13,
@shadowangel26 you have a point but as the harry potter films have been very mixed with storyline consistency like Hockey said in the previous movies I find this difficult.
If I can go back to the previous film Order of Phonex I want to highlight the fight scene between Dumbledore vs Voldemort - This was an awesome battle despite the changes they made from the book. I think they should follow this however they need to increase Apparation ability more as we saw with the Deatheaters vs the Order. The Battle of Hogwarts needs to be EPIC.
In this movie
If this movie is to be a success it needs to build on Horcruxes, Tom Riddle, the relationships in Hogwarts: Ginny-Harry, Hermonie-Ron-Lavender Brown and Harry-Dumbledore.
Slughorn is another main character for this book..lets hope he turns out to be a good choice
Some Behind action with Snape-Malfoy- Malfoy deliberately does not get Snapes assistance, Unbreakable Vow, Death of Dumbledore. Malfoy must be focused as the evil character and he needs his own scenes to support the his efforts to destroy Hogwarts. I ha
Ok I have put my thoughts in please guys I am sure I have not put everything in soo by all means to add more to list I mentioned - iticu, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3No, he did, but Dumbledore was totally like; "YOU SHALL NOT PASS."
So he did the sane thing and dueled Voldemort. - Vosona, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Haha, rules 1 and 2 apply only to raids. *****.
- Wartz, on 07/04/2008, -2/+4I doubt that will ever happen.
- bjs3171, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2The last film was definitely the best one so far. They finally stopped trying to be cute and "look how MAGICAL the place is!" and just told the story, with the magic staying in the background, like it should. I'd say the series biggest problem is that Malfoy's actor is just bad. they can't get any complexity out of his character because it.
btw, that article was written like some retarded house wife's blog. - pigducksheep, on 07/04/2008, -0/+23, 4, and 5 have been great i think, because 1 and 2 were just silly and the actors were too young. I do wish they could put a lot more, but it's only movies. Peeves has yet to be included :( I always read the books over again before the movies and notice every detail missing.
- Fawkes, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2I thought glasses were supposed to have lenses
- dkapuchino, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2sevan was grate
- gryphon50, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2you make some good points but some flaws are unavoidable. The only actor that is different is for the Dumbledore character and that is because the previous actor died. And some of the younger actors' acting is a bit shaky but remember, they chose these actors at age 10 or 11, it's hard to predict whose skills will develop and whose won't. It's not fair to make a comparison w/ LOTR because those movies were all shot at the very same time.
- sulthernao, on 07/04/2008, -2/+4Geez. Ever heard of literary progression? Dumbledore was killed/died so that Harry would become independent and be able to mature as a character. It is like the passage of power from one generation to the next. It also allowed Voldemort to create a dystopian society that needed to completely destroyed. The seventh book wouldn't be what it is without Dumbledore's death. OotP was ok. I didn't like Harry's anger problems, but again, I understand why JKR did it for its literary element of Harry's character growth.
