I feel a lot less nerdy now! The exact same thing went through my mind very briefly at the same time. I adore the HP books as well as a billion of other books in general but that series is so amazing! It freaks me out when I look back to High School and realize I almost didn't give the HP books a chance because I got so tired of hearing "Harry Potter this, Harry Potter that...." It really stinks that the HBP movie got moved back to next year, though the movies just don't seem the same since OOTP. It wasn't too bad but was a little disappointing in my opinion. They seem to keep ignoring Snape, I don't see how HBP will turn out when they keep overlooking the importance of that character at this point in the movies!

Tnspieler1012 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Yeah, they could've done a whole lot more with OOTP, but while it's gonna be a long wait, I've only heard/seen good things about HBP. They run through it scene by scene here... http://www.cosforums.com/showthread.php?t=117938 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankenbubbles Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Just took a look at that board and have to agree, the HBP movie doesn't seem as bad as I was fearing. I need to reread the books, I don't recall an attack on the Burrow at this point at all.... It's too bad they had to remove some the DADA classes and messed with the battle at Hogwarts a bit. Still looking forward to it though!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Actually the attack at the burrow was an added scene (i.e. not in the book). There have been many complaints about that, but it s meant to fill in certain details like the introduction of greyback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hera_g89 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ahh, I love Harry Potter! :D How come I've never been here before? :/ The day I finished DH, it was 3:00 am and I was having my senior picture taken that day. I cried SO much and I didn't sleep at all. Sadly, it's pretty obvious if you look at my senior picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to keep ignoring Snape, I don't see how HBP will turn out when they keep overlooking the importance of that character at this point in the movies! Personally, I think the best movies were the first two. I mean, I didn't enjoy them most only becuase the story isn't as good, but Chris Columbus was a far better director. He had such a unique vision about everything, and he portrayed the characters better. I also think Richard Harris was the ideal Dumbledore, and Michael Gambon just doesn't do the part justice. I really think Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson do a fantastic job, but they need better directing.

It was like a part of me ended, those books had been a part of my life since first grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawberryfields Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I also think Richard Harris was the ideal Dumbledore, and Michael Gambon just doesn't do the part justice. I agree wholeheartedly. The movies just aren't the same with Michael Gambon, there's something about him that just doesn't seem to fit the role of Dumbledore... he makes Dumbledore seem a lot less friendly, too. Oh, and what's with that beard ring he always wears? :lol: I felt like crying for a long time after I finished the book. It was like a part of me ended, those books had been a part of my life since first grade. I DID cry. For hours. And my dad's wedding was the same day... it was awful, because I kept tearing up when I thought of finishing the book that morning. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Harris captured perfectly the balance of wisdom, love, teaching, warmth...all that defines Dumbledore. Richard Harris was one of the greatest actors ever. R.I.P. I felt really like crying, but I just couldn't. It was an awful feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think Goblet of fire made it very clear that Gambon was either the wrong choice, or simply hadn't done his research for the dumbledore part ("*shakes harry* "Did you put your name in the goblet of fire!"). However there is hope on the horizon, word is out that Gambon actually read the book this time! :dance: I did hear that some at the prescreening were dissatisfied by him at the cave scene, but overall he's supposed to be quite a bit better. The joke is that he acts a lot better when Dumbledore is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The joke is that he acts a lot better when Dumbledore is dying. Still, I always pictured Dumbledore close to Harris, even before the movies came out. But Gambon was probably better for the fight scene vs. Voldemort (OOTP) because I don't think Richard Harris would have been fierce enough, he was too old. But I can't picture Gambon doing the dying part well, I heard Harris's voice saying "Severus, please..." at the top of the tower when I read it. It'll just be weird having Gambon act like he's dying as he's got such a powerful voice. Harris had a perfect dying voice I guess becuase it was already so faint and strained.

ailene90 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Same here. There were 2 clues that made me think Hermione was gonna die. First, this video: 8 seconds into it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxvLbgY18vk And then also someone in my school said something about how JKR "kills off all her main characters". I of course covered my ears before I heard more. So when it got to the chapter where Bellatrix was torturing her, I was sure she would die, I was no nervous while reading it. The same thing happened to me except I was a midnight party at B&N and some asshole drove by with huge speakers on his car announcing that Voldemort kills Hermione! I was so pissed and then reading the part with Bellatrix was terrifying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnspieler1012 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Well, it's arguable, but technically Voldemort did kill Harry, he just came back... Burbage escapes me, but Colin is the little kid that kept following Harry around at hogwarts, and Scrim is short for Rufus Scrimgeour, the minister of magic who is assasinated.
