The movies have been pretty poor, especially the third one. I'm dreading how many scenes they'll hack out of the fourth

*lol*

i suppose it will be lots of them.. the 4th book is such a thick one.. perhaps they will have 2 movies on the 4th book..

Ralea · « **Reply #22 on:** April 26 2005, 09:57 am »

No, it was officially announced that movie 4 will be one whole movie. I think they'll cut out a few scenes from the Yule Ball scene.

they said that the SPEW thing that Hermione was starting in the forth book will be chucked out!

:sigh:

sighz..
so many stuffs being dropped.. suddenly it seem that its something just like any other Harry Potter films.. a little disappointed though..

*fingers crossed* that the film will still be nice..

if they're to cut scenes...i'd think that the trip to & in the qudditch match at the beginning & the middle of the story would be it....i really wish that they wont slice off scenes near the end....coz thats where the story got interesting~

the movies are nothing compared to the books. the books are too detailed to be made into watchable movies, not to mention the humour

but yeah, the 3rd movie was different from the other two, but it was more interesting to watch on screen than the first two

16th of July HP and the Half Blood Prince comes out.

any idea is the 6th book as thick as the 4th or 5th book?
im a slow reader..

Ralea · « **Reply #28 on:** April 28 2005, 10:07 am »

They say that book 6 will be 1/3 shorter than book 5. JK Rowling said so herself in her website:

Which reminds me, did anyone found all the hidden secrets there?

bLuetopaz · « **Reply #29 on:** April 28 2005, 11:03 am »

I suppose Ralea means the secrets in JKR's website... It's been a long time since I last visited there but I haven't really found any big clues yet except those that are already known.

Oh wow, Anime style Harry Potter!

monkey · « **Reply #37 on:** April 30 2005, 09:11 pm »

i love anime pics of HP, does anyone else have any to show ?

bLuetopaz · « **Reply #38 on:** April 30 2005, 09:12 pm »

*lol*
perhaps i saw too much of Daniel Radcliff as Harry Potter..
so its kinda weird to see the anime version HP.

Well, I am a huge Harry Potter fan.n I started reading the books I believe somewhat in the end of 2000 and beginning of 2001. I started buying them in spanish, and even my dad started reading them. Book 5 is the first book I bought in english, because I couldn't wait for the spanish translation. Of course when that one came out I also bought it for my dad. So this year I'm also getting HBP in english first!

My favorite ship is Harry/Hermione. I love the character of Hermione, 'cause I relate a lot to her, sometimes my hair even gets bushy (darn humidity of the country). We almost have the same birthday (I'm sept.18, and she's sept 19). And I agree with the poster that said that in OotP Harry and Hermione seemed to get closer.

As for the movies, I liked them, and of course I don't expect them to be exactly the same as the book. There are many factors, like time, teh pace the story has to move to get everything going, etc. I much rather have a story with good pace than have a movie that takes every scene like a copy-paste from the book. For me, Prisoner of Azkaban is the best movie yet, because it kept the same feeling of the characters. Sure, some scenes where different, and the moved the order of things, and some others were left out, but you could get the grasp of the story, and this movie was more about the characters than about the concept of magic. I loved that they placed the characters first, because the book PoA is about the characters, it is the most personal book in the series IMHO.

I have been doing a fan fic, that is some sort of cross-over with CCS. The fic is in spanish though, and it is not completed yet, but I have lots of fun when I write it.
