OMG, besides me being addicted to Anime and Manga I also LOVE Harry Potter!  :wink: My favorite coupling is Harry/Hermione but I also love Ron/Hermione. I'm actually into practically every couple out there. o.O; I'm very open-minded about couples, I guess I have no favorite. lol
You guys excited about the 6th book and the 4th movie?! Its got me all jittery and excited. [swoons over Daniel Radcliffe picture on wall]Â
Mhm..hottie. We shall be together at the premiere my love. XD Oh, one fun fact about me that links me to one of the cast members in Harry Potter is that me and Emma Watson (girl who plays Hermione! ;P) have the same bday...April 15th! Cool ne?  :heh:
[EDIT: Changed the title to warn people about possible spoilers...]
-
Woooh ! I love HarryxHermione too ^^ And really hope that they could be together :D
I love Emma ^^ She's so cute... :o You have the same birthday of her ^^ Wow....
-
i'm not really interested in the coupling and all but i like all the sorcery in the story and stuff~ i already pre-ordered the 6th book mths ago~~
-
I like the movies (waiting for number 4), but haven't read the books (can't be bothered)
-
though i thought the books are nicer (better) than the movie...
i felt that movie 1 was nice *definatly...i went...waaaaaaaa.....*, movie 2 was ok but not as surprising though the story was darker, movie 3 was the downhill portion...the story seemed..rushed and i felt that i've been conned of my money to pay for the ticket~ :P hope movie 4 picks up the pieces though~~
the books are certainly more detailed and i'd say that they were worth every cent~~(xcept for hardcover book 4 coz the 1st few chapter were mostly bout the qudditch games thats all), though books get yellowish and stuff~ :P
-
Out here in Aus:
Movie 1 was rating the worst (due to its introductry style)
Movie 2: was ok
Movie 3: really hit it off
Honestly I like Movie 3 the best so-far :D
and about the books/movie, they are true different mediums, the director of movie 3 said in order to remain true the movies would
have to be 16 hours long (imagine that - I can barely stand a 2 and a half hour movie)
-
i like the books better than the movies.. :P HP and PoA [prisoner of azkaban] was really disappointing.. :(
i am however waiting and hoping that the GoF movie is better and that Jo doesn't kill my favorites in the 6th book.. The books are sooo much more better than the movies.. :P more details! like Peeves.. I wanted peeves in the movies.. *sniffles*
i'm like a mixed shipper fan but i like Draco / Hermione best.. :P I like.. Hemrione/Ron, Hermione/Harry, Ron/Luna, Ginny/Harry and Hermione/Draco.. tehehe.. :P
-
maybe i compared movie 3 to the book too much~ :P thats y it didnt seemed satisfactory to me...though any1 has any ideas bout the 6th book: the half-blood prince? the title seems to be a change in style~ :P
-
i like the books better than the movies.. :P HP and PoA [prisoner of azkaban] was really disappointing
and about the books/movie, they are two completly different mediums, the director of movie 3 said in order to remain true the movies would
have to be 16 hours long.
Honestly, most people just don't get that, when making judgements about movies *based* (remember the movies are based) on books.
-
the 3rd movie didn't mention much about james and the maurader's names or such.. if i didn't read the book after the thrid movie i wouldn't have understood it much..
also .. it was a comletely different setting to the other two.. i think that's why i didn't like it most.. the previous settings were familiar to me already.. :P
-
Yay! I've been waiting for someone to make an HP topic here... :D
Anyway, I'm with SLi on this. I think the 3rd movie is really the best of them all YET! The first one, I admit.. I was just too happy to see it as a movie so I forced myself to enjoy it but truthfully it was not really good. The second one's not any different from the first. I think I hear more HP fans angry with Chris Columbus (director of the first 2 movies) because he practically ruined the series. Now I understand that you can't have everything in the movie. I prefer the third movie because it's fast-paced and has more action. The first two had moments where I almost fell asleep...
And yes! I'm waiting for HBP too... I haven't reserved a copy yet because my favorite bookstore doesn't have it available for pre-order yet. :keke:
And of course.. no movie adaptation will ever beat the book no matter how hard they try. I'm sure of that! :okay:
-edit-
oh yes, I've forgotten to mention.. even though I think the 3rd movie's the best, I still don't understand why they have left out the part about the story behind the Marauder's Map. It would have been funnier if we have seen these words in the map:
"..keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
and
"...that a git like that ever became a teacher."Â :rotfl:
-
I so agree with you all. I really don't like the movies, they didn't exactly portray the oiginal storyline of Harry Potter. The movies are fie I guess, its nice seeing the characters all lively and such. ^^
1st Movie: Sorcerer's (Philosopher) Stone - I love this movie, its completely original and follows the same plotline as HP. However, I can manage watching this again if Hermione (Emma) could've just done something about her overly bushy hair! :shifty: XDD
2nd Movie: Chamber of Secrets - It was okay and its obvious the cast members had gone through puberty around this time. lol The actor's looked hott and overall, I loved it.
3rd Movie: Prisoner of Azkaban - Mhm. This movie I have issues with. It annoys me that the director's completely chose different scenes and that it wasn't nearly as faithful as the first and second movies. It was fine though, I mean litererally. You guys see Daniel and Rupert? BAM. All grown up...xPP It has more action though so its cool as Little Wolf said. =] I didn't like the parrt where Harry cried, that was never part of the original storyline. o.O;
Uh-huh. ^^ Hey, it could've been longer. [cough] :sweatdrop: I reserved a copy and now have the magical special ticket you get when you reserve HPB!! [flashes ticket] xDD Yes, the books are waaaay better than the movies. ^^; I especially love GoF and OotP!!!
I love GoF because it has a ball and LOTS of cool action (and Viktor Krum...*fantasizes*) lol
But, I love OotP because Harry changed. Oh come on, tell me you wouldn't change after all that Harry had gone through. I also personally think he got closer to Hermione. Dude, he totally...err...don't wanna spoil it but oh well then I guess. >>; Harry would rather hang out with Hermione than Cho. Harry and Cho kisses to!! :angry:
Yes, I also have issues with her. She irks me so..[clenches fist] Yup, the marauder's map scene would've been hiilarious!! XD I swear...I'd probably fall out of my chair and cry...with laughter. :heh: Oh yes, just wanted to mention how insane and addicted I am to Harry Potter. I nicknamed Snape...don't get disguisted now. Don't worry, I was all hyper when I did think (the whole class knew that. XD) I nicknamed him Snapelicious Deliciousness... :XD:
-
I was a fan, but when i saw the third movie, i was O_o
I just don't like it, but the first one was really good, it introduced wll the magic world, loll
-
I also like to note that the 3rd movie had the best ending so far... The first two movies ended the usual way of leaving the train which was just sort of already cliche and :snore:
While the third one had a much, much better ending than those two. :greengrin:
So far, my fave Harry Potter book would be OOTP. My least fave now is...the first book. :dodge:
And by the way, I don't really consider myself a really HUGE HP fan now.. I used to be really crazy at it but during the long wait in between book releases, I get myself busy on other things. So, I only become a BIG HP fan when there's a new book already or a new movie. :D
-
same here.. I haven't read any books yet (lazy young meh!).. i love the movies! ^_^ *huggles "young" Daniel*
-
i read 1 to 4, i have the 5 but i don,t have time to read, and it's don't interest me to read it also ^o^
-
1st movie: :keke:
2nd movie: :keke:
3rd movie: -_-
That pretty much summarises them up for me. Heard there was gonna be a preview of GoF soon. You can get all sort of news here:
http://www.mugglenet.com
-
hehe.. i read all the books.. but just dont like the beginning of book 5.. its like showing the dark side of Harry.. but overall i love both books and movies! i wish the movie could be longer..
-
I like the movies (waiting for number 4), but haven't read the books (can't be bothered)
exactly !! and yea i like the third movie the best XD
-
Ooh! Another addiction of mine! *wears her Azkaban prison shirt proudly*
The third has to be my favorite book and movie, though... I absolutely love Lupin and Sirius, and you get to meet them both. And Snape is there, of course. Snape... X3 Witness the Snapey happiness (http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/sexy.swf).
But I definitely recommend reading the books... they are much better than the movies, even though the movies are pretty ruddy good. They are also very easy reads since they are written on such a low reading level.
Anyway, my favorite coupling would have to be Lupin/Snape... Odd, I know, but the best HP fanfics I've ever read have been based on those two.
-
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..
-
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! :P :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~ :D
-
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..
-
They say that book 6 will be 1/3 shorter than book 5. JK Rowling said so herself in her website:
http://www.jkrowling.com
Which reminds me, did anyone found all the hidden secrets there? :D
-
:heh:
hidden secrets in book 5? is the prize 2 tickets to somewhere? i only had vague memories about it..
-
http://www.mugglenet.com is really good
608 - uk version;
672 pages - us version
i prefer the uk version of them myself
-
i Hate the books, the movies are so much better :D
*mainly movie 3, thats the best, movie 1 and 2 were only barely ok
-
*lol*
i would prefer to watch the movie too... and yes, the 3rd movie is the best among the 3 HP movies..
-

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.

Ok...I know this isn't really related...but since the topic is Harry Potter and all...
clicky ---> http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y174/chizuri/shipotter.jpg
sowi~ just wanted to share it ^^;

It's chibi-Harry~ aha kawaii~! :love5:
-
Oh wow, Anime style Harry Potter! :D
-
i love anime pics of HP, does anyone else have any to show ?
-
*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.
-
People liked the third movie best? Perhaps its because I read the third book, and it was my fav, but I was very disappointed in the movie vesion. They hacked out half the plot, added meanigless bits in, and totally destroyed Professor Lupin's character!
I'm a big HP fan (the books, not the sauce) but I didn't really like book 5, especially the ending. It didn't seem as developed as the first four.
-
Yeah, whats more
Note: Don't read spoiler unless you read book 5
Show content
Sirius died! Waah!
that's why book 5 ranks lowest to me.
-
Even that was pretty underdeveloped - it happened so fast, and then...just faded away, almost as though it had never happened...is JK Rowling trying to kill off a many of her characters as possible, so that the end book will just be Harry and Voldemort?!
-
killed off ? *cough* ok rube time to learn how to use the spoiler tags
-
I never said who, if anyone was killed off... :tongue:
-
hehe.....pretty much, I think JK is unpredictable.
Show content
But why Sirius? just when I was liking him.
JK didn't mention in her books that HP characters have middle names, didn't she? :D
-
I don't think so.....maybe Rowling felt that it would just mean too much detail, and take away from the actual story itself....
Speaking of which, this may be a bit early, but has anyone heard any rumours about book 7?
-
Nope, I havent; heard any rumors, just speculations.
I adore the books, book 5 seemed rushed to me, I like the 3rd one the best. I didn't like the 3rd movie though, it seemed like they were trying to make it funny, when it wasn't. Like the Knight Bus for example. *cringes*
Can't wait for the 6th book though, coming out in June/July. Many stuff to expect in the summer for me ^^
-
one of my friends won't read any more HP because of book five
Show content
WAHH!! sirius! :cry: :sweatdrop:
:XD: where did you get that picture of anime-style harry potter Chizuri? its really cute! :D
i really didn't like movie number 3.. it was my favorite book too and well.. a lot of things seemed rushed and all..
-
I like Harry Potter.. can't wait for book 6...
though dont you think they are leaving a big gap between movie 3 and four? most people have drigted intrests... the gap is too big.
-
I think it was because of the length of time it took to shoot the film....
-
I know that.. its because the books are TOO LONG... no offence to Rowling.. but the longer they are.. the longer it takes... the older the actors get... sicne they are like... 16/17 now... and we still have 5, 6, and 7 after four...
-
I'm a bit worried about book 7...it feels like Rowling is rushing thigns abit now, after book 5....it would be a real shame if she wrecked the whole series by putting some completely twist at the end, or just went for a tragedy (everyone dead except Harry). Mind you, if she went for a very happy ending, then that would feel wrong too.
I think the best ending would be if most people survive, but either Ron or Hermione die in the final battle. Or...even better...Harry dies in the final battle in order to stop Voldemort. Remember, they have that link? That could be a vital part of the plot...after all, why else did Rowling make sure to slip it into the series so early, hmm?
-
Yes... i came to that conclusion too... since....
1. It says plain as day in book 5 that one of them can live while the other can't live.. so... either Harry kills him... or they both die... or voldermort dies.
2. It stops copyright theft... he's DEAD... so no one can nick him.... as in, writing stories about 'after' hogwarts...
but then, most people want harry to be HAPPY... his life has been so trastic... *sobs*....
-
Yeah, maybe it's time for harry to have a happy life. especially Professor Trelawney's prediction in book 5: :D
"and during one time in Divination class, Professor Trelawney announced that Harry wasn't going to die after all, live at a ripe old age and become Minister of Magic much to Umbridge's displeasure"
Sorry if i'm wrong, but I'm just commiting this from memory, my cousin borrowed my book. :(
-
hmm.. i just got the feeling that Harry with die with Lord V.
-
I like Moony! :D
Yes, I've heard alot of rumors that Voldemort will die with Harry-kun...
-
Poor Harry..... *cries again*
And to Relea... yes... she said that... and that he would have six children... but wasn't she saying for the past 3 years that harry would die.... he he.... so her predictions... are never correct. Only two have been. *wont say if you haven't read book 5, big spoiler*
-
hmm.. i just got the feeling that Harry with die with Lord V.
Hmmm...Show content
One has to die, one has to live.
That's what I think.
-
But who?
-
If Harry dies I swear I'd cry. ;__; But then again, what if they both die? That'd be interesting but I'd be bawling like a baby if it did ever happen. I kinda doubt J.K would do that to us. Well...maybe...o.O; :sweatdrop:
-
I think it would be a good idea for Harry to die in the last book, as it would be a definite end to the series - some authors just leave the plot open, and you're lacking closure...it doesn't feel very nice
-
I really don't want Harry to die, but at the same time, I think it'll be a good ending in terms of closure. I mean, the books are originally 7 books right? Harry's years in Hogwarts? Killing him off seems the best idea in terms of finishing it all off.
Then again, I expect J.K. Rowling to be creative and give us a great ending, one where Harry doesn't need to die ^^
-
Come off it! Harry already led a life of misery, and he survived everything that came his way in Hogwarts. Then he's gonna die? That's not fair! What did he survive all that way for if he's gonna die in book 7?
-
or perhaps Harry will not die..
the ending of the story may be a happy one because HP books are originally written for her kids?
-
JK didn't just target a kids-only readers. That's why there's book 5...

Death!

It might be a twist...he's been through so much, you think he's gonna live....but then he dies!
By the way, is there something between Ron and Hermione, or am I just imagining it?

When Hermione was 'revived' she came in, and hugged Harry. She then went to Ron.. and almost hugged him, but they stuttered and shook hands instead.
Thats what i think... though I hate the idea of RonxHermione... errrggggg.... *dunno why* i think Harry and Hermione should be together because...

Cho was totally cruel and just got rid of him.. i don't think she and harry will get back together. i like the couple, sure, but i think harry should be with someone who supports him; hermione.
-
I had the same opinion about Harry and Hermione at first, but then I just stopped caring....
Actually, I'm out of my HP phase now....I used to love it, but the poor fifth book ruined it for me. If the sixth isn't better, I'll be very disappointed
-
*waves HxH flag *
I'm a fan of this pairing, I really dont see Ron and Hermoine together, they always argue, and I don't think they would actually like each other. Besides, Cho gets on my nerves *grits teeth*
-
well, Rowling did say a thing on someone being killed for the 6th, forget the description of who though. I'm kinda suspecting Ron for some reason though
-
I like Ron, in terms of humor, and besides, poor Harry would be devasted
and me!!! ;__; so I don't think he'll die. Maybe someone else like a secondary charcter?
-
hmm Lupin or Dumbledorf?
-
Maybe Lupin, but I highly doubt Dumbledore, he seems he's the only one who can advise Harry at this point. Maybe even Trewelany, or the women who is the teacher that makes prohicies? *can't spell her name for the life of me* Since she is giving very good predictins right now, she seems like her death would be vital in terms of finding the mystery of killing Voldermort. I really don't know, I'm blabbering crap I hardly understand ^^
-
AH!! i sort of stopped with harry potter.. haha i never got the 5th both.. hehe.. i read the others and loved it but i never got to read the 5th book yet..
and there's a 6th book coming out.. AH!! i'm so behind.. i didn't even finsh watching the 3rd movie's ending.. it was cutted off.. ARG!!! this sucks.. haha..
and i have no idea what's happening right now in this topic.. lolz

Agree with the Cho part there, but, I dunno, did JK hint that Harry will have a new love interest? Some are going for the Harry x Luna thing because of book 5's ending.
-
I like Harry Potter!! xD I have all the Harry Potter books, and I've seen all the movies until No.3. Can't wait till Movie No.4 XD I saw that Harry and Ron have to dance in the next one lol. Can't wait to see that!

I can't wait for the 6th book^^! It's coming out this summer X3, yesh!
-

Yes, I am a HarryxHermione supporter, but in some ways, i don't think Rowling will put them together. More likely it'll be Hermione and Ron... *sighs*
Even though i said i'm a supporter of HarryxCho *a little ; not as much as i once did*
i am a very HIGH supporter of LunaxHarry. Reason...
Show content
Harry understands Luna... his parents died. Her mother died. He can see that she isn't mad. At the end of book 5, when harry is all upset about sirius, she comforts him.
As I said... Harry deserves someone nice. Either Luna or Hermione.
-
Not someone who cries her eyes out in loos or gets jealous easily.
-
Movie 4 is gonna rock, hope so ^^ I saw the yule ball, it's may intersting ^^ But wait, Hermione will appear with her straight hair right? But in Movie 4, she go with blonde hair and pink dress :dodge:
p.s : I still love Hhr no matter what :D
-
It's not bad.
(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/ralea/harryfire.jpg)
heh, can't wait too see it.
-
The book was so long, though, the movie prob cut out loads of great scenes (and half the plot if its anything like movie 3!)
-
woohh..
Hermione looks wonderful.. is that a photo of her in Yule Ball?
in the book.. it wrote she used lots of spraying gels? to make her hair manageable...
-
pretty pic.
Must've taken a long time to do that for the movie
and yeah, I think the 4th movie will be cut a great deal much
-
what a pity..
that will be a lot of cuttings..
-
I don't think they'll show Cho in any of the movies, considering she wasn't in the third so there's no way she'll be in the 4th or the 5th *sighs*
I really want to see the break-up if there going to do the 5th movie, and I don't like the new director one bit, he tries to make it funny but it isn't >.<
I wanna see the yule-ball so bad, and also the tri-wizard tournament ^^
-
i just saw the trailer for Goblet of Fire!! awesome!
http://www.wizardnews.com/story.20050508.html
got to say Viktor Krum looks cool, Cedric Diggory looks handsome, Fleur Delacour looks pretty...
cant wait to see the movie!
i am also wondering.. in Goblet of Fire, isnt there the Quidditch World Cup? i think they are going to reduce this part in the movie and concentrate on the Tri-wizard Tournament...
finally... just wondering why didnt anyone mention the relationship between Viktor Krum and Hermione?
-
this website provides some info. on Harry Potter as well..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_potter
enjoy~
-
Thank you guys ^^
I just hope this movie wont be like the 3rd one, I was so dissapointed with that movie ^^
-
oh i also saw the trailor of 4th movie. its great. and cho has to be in the 4th movie as she is supposed to be cedric's (one of the champions) dance partner so she is somewhat important. the maze was so big. wasn't it supposed to be as big as the quidditch ground. i will never ever dare to go in something like that and poor harry didn't even asked for it.the movie should be cool.
i've read all the hp books and seen the movies and i think they are all good. third one's the best except for a few wierd parts like what was that when lupin said to harry that he knew harry's mother. i never thought they were very much like friends. i guess he just knew her as they were both prefects and then she was one of his best friend's wife. but somehow that dialog seemed kinda suspicious.

Gah! A pic of Cho!

Yeah, freaky and spooky looking. Did anyone see Dobby yet?

:P i don't think Katie fits the charater of Cho.. for some odd reason..
and thanks for the link to the website with the trailer! :D
dumbledore's voice sounds weird in the trailer.. :S
-
I love the books. I also like the movies, and I like 3rd best also ^^u, no, nothing to do that I´m from Mexico, it´s just that to me it´s the first movie really adaptated to the screen. The first two tried so hard to carbon copy the books that you were actually remembering on your mind "this is missing, that is missing, here they were supposed to say.." the whole time. With PoA you couldn´t really do so because during the first 5 minutes everything was already different but not in a bad was, IMO the basis and depth of every character was kept while telling this story in another medium different from the books and that´s the important thing to me ^_^
about the books, my favourite has tobe precisely PoA. I´m a huge Lupin fan and so far that´s where he gets more story time. Book 5 gave me mixed feelings, I know Harry is going though those "terrible" teen years and specially in his case he´s got more to be mad at than any other human being but still found a little bit anoying having him in a bad mood during most of the book :P
I currently don´t have a favourite pairing I enjoy all of them while at fanfiction they are well written.
-
yeah, the maze doesnt looks as if its the size of a normal quidditch field.. and somehow, it reminds me of the Maze card.. *lol*
perhaps Katie will look better in the movie? *hopefully*
i agree that Dumbledore's voice sounds a little weird.. initially, i thought it's Prof. Snape's voice...
-
I'm just glad she's in there! Now we get to see Harry stutter and act so cute ^^
-
I liked the old dumbledore better...aw, too bad he went to the next world :cry: *sniffu*
-
me too

yes I know, the old one actually had his eyes open ;____;

the voice imiation was better too. The new one sounds too young and gruff.
-
Yes he does, and he talkes way to fast, Dumbldore is calmer and talks more slowly, I could hardly understand the new one >_>
-
I liked the old dumbledore better...aw, too bad he went to the next world :cry: *sniffu*
bluetopaz raises her hands as well!
what do you all think if they replace Daniel Radcliff as Harry, Emma Watson as Hermione and Rupert Grint as Ron?
-
I shall destory Warner Bro's and laugh manically! *cough*
If they were to replace em, I wonder who can fit the parts any better than them, they were made for those parts. Besides, Daniel is hot!
-
haha.. take a look at this:
Some news from The Veritaserum: (http://veritaserum.com)
Movie 5 - Order of the Phoenix
Tentative Release Date: June 2007
Casting:
Daniel Radcliffe/Harry Potter - 85% chance
Daniel has played Harry Potter in all of the first four films, and when Order of the Phoenix is being filmed in 2006, he will only be two years older than his character. Makeup can easily make him look fifteen years old, and his continuously improving acting abilities should make it relatively easy for him. Millions of Harry Potter fans worldwide have grown attached to Dan as Harry, and would lose interest in the movies if he was recast. Also, in the above quote, Producer David Heyman said that he hopes Dan stays on board. We give him an 85% chance of returning.
Emma Watson/Hermione Granger - 85% chance
Why it's logical for her to stay:
Like Daniel, Emma has played Hermione Granger in all of the Harry Potter films so far, and she is the youngest of the trio, which means that she will only be a year older than her character during OotP filming. Age isn't really a factor for Emma, and since age is the main fear of why Daniel and Rupert may be recast, Emma seems to be safe. Although, if they get rid of her co-stars, chances are she will be leaving the franchise as well. 85% chance.
Why she might leave:
Although Producer David Heyman stated that he wanted the trio to continue filming the movies, Emma was unsure in mid-November 2004: "Woah! I've honestly no idea, no idea at all."
Rupert Grint/Ron Weasley - 95% chance
Why it may be logical for him to leave:
Rupert Grint is the oldest of the three kid stars by almost a year, and shows it. Rupert has physically matured the fastest, which puts him in danger of the "age axe." Producer David Heyman stated that the entire trio leaving the franchise at some point in time was "inevitable," but Alfonso Cuaron voiced opposing views. By the time OotP filming rolls around, Rupert will be 17 going on 18, which is dangerously close to being too old. Although makeup can work wonders, it may not be enough to satisfy the producers.
Why we're almost positive he'll stay:
At the Prisoner of Azkaban DVD launch, Rupert said, "I want to do all of them if I can, they're just such good fun." In February, he told The Melbourne Herald Sun that "There's no reason, really, why we wouldn't go on. I don't know about the others, but I want to go on." In a quote at the top of this page, Producer David Heyman said that he hopes the kids won't have to leave, but if they decide to, "they'll go with all of our blessings." As Rupert obviously wants to stay on board and Heyman also wants him to stay, we give him a 95% chance of returning for OotP.
Tom Felton/Draco Malfoy - 50% chance
Tom Felton will be 18 years old during Order of the Phoenix filming in 2006. Although he could still play the role of Draco, who would be 15 during the movie, producers may decide that he is too old for the role and recast him. Tom has also expressed interest in going into fishery later in life rather than continuing acting. Tom and/or the producers may decide for him not to be in the fifth film, but if he wants to stay and the producers want him to stay, than he stays. 50%.
I'm kinda shocked that they might not be casting Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy.. :P
-
Sorry I had to post twice in a row.. :P i kinda ran out of characters! ^^;;
Matthew Lewis/Neville Longbottom - 90% chance
Matthew's got a great chance to stay on as Neville, because there is no reason for him to quit or for him to be recast. Even if he does look a bit older than his character in the fifth film, he will only be in a supporting role, which makes his age versus his character's age not be quite such a big factor. As long as Matthew wants to stay on board, he most likely will - 90% chance.
Chris Rankin/Percy Weasley - 95% chance
Chris is old enough that a few years difference between him and his character won't really have an effect on his ability to continue with the role. Unless Chris spontaneously decides to stop doing the Harry Potter films, which is highly unlikely, he will be back for the fifth film. Also, Chris's contract states that he will be in "Prisoner of Azkaban +1" film - this was thought to be Goblet of Fire, but he announced that he would most likely not appear in the fourth film. If Rankin does not appear in the fourth movie, this guarantees him at least some film time in the fifth movie. The character of Percy Weasley has a major impact on certain issues in the fifth book - although they could cut that subplot, it is unlikely. 95% chance.
James and Oliver Phelps/Fred and George Weasley - 90% chance
Although beloved by many Potter fans, the characters of Fred and George Weasley have little to do in the Harry Potter movies. Those of you who have read the fifth book will know that they have more to do which will definitely be included in the movie, but both James and Oliver's roles are classified as minor. Because they are minor roles, there would be no point in recasting them. However, if one twin has to leave the movies for other reasons, chances are high that they both will leave. 90% chance.
All Adult Actors - 95% chance
If their character has somewhat of a role in the book, we can expect to see them again. One or two of the adult actors may end up leaving the movie franchise prior to the fifth film due to unexpected happenings. But the chances of any adult actors being recast are slim to none. 95% chance for the adult actors from the previous four films to return.
-
That is one horrible though, that Tom will leave, he's perfect for Draco! *sobs*
-
I don't think they'll show Cho in any of the movies, considering she wasn't in the third so there's no way she'll be in the 4th or the 5th *sighs*
I really want to see the break-up if there going to do the 5th movie, and I don't like the new director one bit, he tries to make it funny but it isn't >.<
I wanna see the yule-ball so bad, and also the tri-wizard tournament ^^
i think cho is going to show in the 4th movie because i read it in a newspaper that there was an audition for the cast of cho...
-
Really! Then I shall thank Warner Bros'! *thanks them*
Just one 2 movies till the break-up, TWO. MORE. MOVIES! *combusts*
-
Wow...I want my Tom to work on the fifth movie...;_; If he's not there it ain't the same. :shifty: And yes, Cho is in the fourth movie. That's a definite. I should know since I was planning on auditioning for it. ^^; But then the producers said they preferred people who lived around the area of UK so my chances of kissing Daniel (*squee8...x.x;) are slim to none in the fifth film. XDD
Wait a minute...that girl kisses Daniel in the fifth film. RAWR! No way...[cries] :P I wanna see how Emma looks in that gorgeous dress JK described in the book. I also have this huge feeling Dan and Emma in real life are really into each other..uhh..off-topic so yeah. lol
-
*nods*
Lots of unnecessary touching in the movies *giggles fangirlishly*
YOU ADUTIONED!?!?! Lucky you! Try for the next movie, since they actually kiss ^____^
-
haha.. oOo..

you can also find info. from http://www.mugglenet.com

yeah i put up that site earlier...
i highly doubt rowling would let harry die after 7 books of him, although killing him off would indeed end the harry potter saga, but it wouldn't make sense, cos harry is 'good' and voldemort is 'bad'. essentially a children's book, she would aim to instil positive and practical messages to her audience, killing off the symbol of good just doens't seem right
actually there are heaps of suggestions that hermione doesn't like harry (too tired to give examples, someone !!). hermione and ron fighting doesn't mean much, lots of ppl get together after fighting heaps
-
i think killing harry off is a great idea !! we need more stories where the Bad side WINS
-
Near to the darkside you are, Vexnet...
The onlyway the Bad side wins is when Dumbledore's dead. I mean in book 5 it said
Show content
That Dumbledore is the only one Voldermort is afraid of
-
You guys are scaring me! *sobs*
I don't want Harry to die, however cliche it may seem. Harry was so awesomely described you can't help but like him! That's why JKR is one of the best authors, she doesn't make her characters so awesome is nauesating ^^
[le sigh] But it's up to JKR and the fate of the Harry Potter series.
-
Harry won't die.. :P
JK Rowling will probably kill off some of the other people around him or something but Harry won't die.. :P she knows that a large majority of her readers are children and teenagers..
She just CAN'T kill off Harry.. if she did I'd be very disappointed..
-
I'd be so dissapointed I'd combust!
I like Harry. I bet you could tell with my unnecessary 'Harry wont' DIE!!!! Dammit" rant ^_^
-
tehe .. naw.. don't worry too much Fisah.. :)
JKR can't be too evil.. O.o
-
Yeah, she couldn't kill Harry off.....because then Harry Potter would become a tragedy story (Main character dies, not good idea) and we don't want that do we? Again, as I said, why did they kept him alive for 15 (so far) years if they were gonna kill him. Useless....
-
And also more depressing, I'd rather have the cliche ending then something tragic, JKR will probably spare herself from rabid fanpeople and make it a happy ending....hopefully.
Besides, Harry's been through all sorts of crap already, killing him off seems so horrible >.<
-
Harry won't die, that I know and re-reading some of your post made me laugh. XD Vexnet, you're so evil though for once the bad side winning sounds interesting...not that I want it happening anytime soon. e-e;; lol I just had a thought.
What if instead of killing Harry, Voldemort decides to offer him a position to be part of the dark side like how Star Wars went on. Hmm...anevil Harry is definitely sexy. XPP Though, I highly doubt it will happen. ^^;
Oh and yeah, I was GOING to audition but like I said, they preferred people who lived in the UK. >>; And yes, I've seen tons of sites with Emma and Dan images where they're so sickeningly cute together. lol I love them together though... :inlove:
www.harryloveshermione.com (http://www.harryloveshermione.com)
Browse around that site to look at some 'proof' why Harry + Hermione are so cute togother and there's also a little section where they have tons of eye-catching Dan + Emma action going on (not that kinda action pervs...Lmao.) I'm just kidding. xPP
-
Sorry but I'm a Emma + Tom fan.
Harry going to the Dark side? I've never considered that before. I highly doubt that though, since because of the Dark side, Harry lost his parents, Show content
Sirius
.
Wonder who's the "Half-Blood Prince" ?
-
Draco and Hermione Fan here! [not Tom and Emma fan] not really a fan of any coupling of the actors to tell you the truth.. :sleepy5: tehe .. I'll admit that Emma and Daniel look cute together, but other than that .. they'r just really good friends.. *ducks from virtual flying tomatoes* ^^;;
Harry would never go to the dark side, [he has lost so much already and i don't think he'd join the side who inflicted that pain] though sometimes I find myself thinking Ron will.. What with the 'sidekick' image always being given to him. *again ducks from tomatoes* :hehe:
-
I think that Voldemort could easily sway Harry to the Dark Side if he plays his cards right. I mean, seriously. He's got more angst than Episode 2 Anakin and Episode 3 Anakin put together. And angst always leads to the Dark Side. O_o
Perhaps offering him a way to bring back those dear to him who've died, or something along those lines.
-
Me, I like waaaaaaay to many shippings in Harry Potter to actually ship one. Yeah, I did mention how cute HHer are, but still, I like Draco and Hermione at times since he has this peculiar interest in her and the fact he always has to pick on her. It's like that little boy in grade school who wouldn't leave you alone since he has this enormous crush on you. And I also like RonHer, because they argue all the time and its insanely cute and adorable! And sometimes I even like RonHarry, not that I'm a yaoi shipper, just because I think their friendship is cute. NOW then, OFF the Shipping topic >_>
Harry and Volderment forming an alliance doesn't seem that unlikely, EVEN though I HATE IT! If he does join, its probably because of power. Show content
In OOTP Harry had those dreams of being a snake/voldermort, and he said that he felt 'way' to compatitable with it, again, can't remember the actual quote
Or maybe he joins to secertly kill Voldermort, like gaining his trust and backstabbing him (LITERALLY) in the back. Or maybe *so many maybe's* he will be controlled, especially since: Show content
It's said that Harry's lighting bolt on his head makes him connected to Voldermort
So if Voldermort knows, then he can use that to his advantage.
It's actually up to JKR, I won't mind what she does, as long as Harry survives what ever he goes through, THAT IS ALL I ASK!
-
as to who/what the half blood prince is...well that's a good questions...but it would only be a tool to bring harry forward... for example the philosopher's stone...it was an object that was a goal for harry, as was the chamber of secrets... a plot device, the prisoner of azkaban - important and yet not so important - through him we learn more of harry's past; goblet of fire - another object that throws harry into a bunch of complications
but still...wanna know who/what is it ^^
-
but any idea if the half blood prince is someone we knew already in the books?
what do you think?
-
I think that Voldemort could easily sway Harry to the Dark Side if he plays his cards right. I mean, seriously. He's got more angst than Episode 2 Anakin and Episode 3 Anakin put together. And angst always leads to the Dark Side. O_o
Even if Harry had angst he wouldn't kill. Anakin did. -_- Shout and destroy things sure, but he knows where his limit is.
-
that's true Ralea! I agree with you.. :P
-
Even if Harry had angst he wouldn't kill. Anakin did. -_- Shout and destroy things sure, but he knows where his limit is.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I still think that he'll go psycho, but you're free to think positive thoughts. ^^
-
I think it would be quite liekly that Harry turned to eveil...think about it, he's lost his parents, another special eprson which I shall not name for fear of spoiling the plot....and he was so angry and rebellious in the fifth book....Harry's heading for evil, because no one can have that many emtoinoal scars and not have issues.
And since Voldemort can't live whilst Harry survives...I thikn Harry will destroy Voldemort and become the new Dark Lord.
(Although, if that happenes, I'm kinda hoping there's a redemption scene where he's attacked by the others, and as he lies dying, apologises to his friends for betraying them.)
-
hmm..
that is one possibility..
if he turns bad/evil like Lord V... then he's like sort of the Prince of Darkness.. hehe.. plus, he's a half blood.. so there you have it..
"The Half Blood Prince"
-
Mind you, hasn't Rowling already said that Harry isn't the half-blood prince?
But I'm sure he will turn evil in the last book....
By the way, exactly why did Voldemort go after Harry's parents anyway? What made them so special they had to be hidden away?
-
It wasn't harry's parents that were special. Harry was and of course he was too little to stay away from his parents so they were also hidden. Another reason is that is some one knows where they were then it'll b easy 2 figure out where harry would b.
Voldemort went after harry and he killed harry's parents coz they were trying 2 protect harry.
Haven't u read book 5. If not you need 2 to stay updated.
-
Evil Harry....wonder what he looks like all dark...
-
hmm..

haha .. qute.. only .. :P JKR said he wasn't one.. neither is voldemort.. :D

Haven't u read book 5. If not you need 2 to stay updated.
I have, but the book was so twisty and lacking a def plot, I find it hard to remember the stuff from it. I realy hope book 6 is better!
But I'm still a HP fan - I read Goblet of Fire in one day, and Order of the Phoenix in a day and a half - I don't put the book down until I'm finsihed!
-
Yeah u don't feel like putting it down till its finished.
The book5 was really boring as compared 2 others but the exit of fred and george was excellent and very kewl.
u are really a very fast reader , i read a lot but my speed isn't THAT good.
-
Yup! People used to think I wasn't taking the book in, but if they quizzed me afterwards, I could answer them!
Anyone going to movie 5 when it comes out?
-
Mind you, hasn't Rowling already said that Harry isn't the half-blood prince?
But I'm sure he will turn evil in the last book....
By the way, exactly why did Voldemort go after Harry's parents anyway? What made them so special they had to be hidden away?
oopsy.. i didnt know that JK Rowling said that.. sorry about that!
-
Its coming out on 18th nov (thats my friends b'day so can't forget it). I am surely gonna watch it. can't miss something like that.
-
I read the book in a 2 days apporximately. Think I read all the books in total of 5 times, but Prisoner of Azakaban more, since it was my fav.
Even thought he movies can be disappointments, I still watch them, just because they can be good sometimes. But hopefully all the actors will still be there, I love them to bits.
I was wondering, how about HP became an anime? I'd watch it in a instant, especially since there is so many doujin about HP too.
-
Wow, you guys sure are speed readers. ^^; I read all the book more or less than 6 times. It takes me about a whole day (once I read I don't stop for anything..XD) so I read like 24hrs straight until I finish. e-e;; HP is just so addicting. lol
I'm definitely gonna go see the movies. They were all good but they didn't reachmy expectations but its fine. I still love them nonetheless. =D I can't wait until book 6 comes out and the movie too!! Wow, HP fans are sooooo gonna be chaotic this year! xP
-
When book 5 came out, it was OMG, no words can describe it, a herd maybe is the mild way of putting it. Heard it was more chaotic in the UK though, especially considering JKR actually lives there.
My dream is to get one of my books, more likely all of them actually, to get signed by her, I'd really love that ^^
-
I've read all the books more than once but have lost count. It will b extreamly cool if hp will turn into an anime. i won't miss it for anything and for the first time my other friends will b interested in animes too then.

Yeah...we had sleepovers in bookstores, parties instore.....and queues around the block....of course, some clever people *ehhem - moi - * predicted this, and preordered through the net. LOL
-
I've only read the second book and I'm reading the first one now. I only read the second one first cause I had already seen the movie but I decided to read the first book. I've also seen all the movies and I can' wait till the next one comes out^_^
-
Interesting..a lot of people got into it the other way round....seeing the movies before the books, do you think the books are better, or the movies.
Just interested, as most people who start with the books prefer them over the movies.
-
All of my friends are HP fans.
Nearly all of us started when we saw the movie1 so we got interested but we do prefer the books now.
Can't wait for book6.
-
Well I prefer the books over the movies because the books don't keep anythig out but I think of both of them as the same I guess. Not really sure^^;; so I think I like both but the books just a little more.
-
I started with the books, I perfer the books too. Usually, people I know start in the middle of the series, considering its where the action starts. Book 2 is really good though, but my fav is book 3, with book 4 as a second then book 5.
-
My year 5 teacher was a HP fanatic, so she read it chapter by chapter to us in free time. I got hooked, so i bought the book, anf got every sequel that came out from then on in - even the Red Nose Day mini ones!
-
I started with book 3 and then read in the correct sequence. when I started with book 3 i didn't even know that it was a series so i was like- "What kind of an ending was that?" There is nowhere written on the books that this is book2 or 3 etc so I was confused untill my friend from whom i had borrowed the book told me.
-
i prefer the books ove the movies too! :P its just sometimes they miss out on parts of the book.. and i know you can't incorporate *everything* but they missed out someone.. :( PEEVES!
-
I hated the third movie. They went for cheap laughs and puns, instead of the story's plot. They made Lupin's condition seem funny (Hermione hitting him) instead of sad, and hacked out half the plot to put in scenes that would 'appeal' to their stereotypical audience.
The other two weren't that bad, but no.3 was rubbish.
-
Yay, someone agrees with me! *does a jig* Every time people tell me the 3rd one was the best, but they don't know what there talking about, because it wasn't funny, I especially hated the Knight Bus scene, what was with teh jamaican talking head? Was that seriously trying to be funny? *groans*
-
Did they actually had to insert the Jamaican head? I didn't like that part one bit. And the quidditch! *sobs* The quidditch cup. My good friends, this is what happens when you have different directors for the same series of movies. I wish they just stuck to the first director.
-
I totally agree, and also, Cho wasn't in the movie, and Harry got his Frebolt at the very end! Why, beats me, maybe because they wanted a new feel to it, I suppose. I don't like the new director one bit, at least the first one was sensible, and he knows how to stick to the book, unlike a certain director who thinks talking jamacain heads are funny >.<
-
*gwah* yay! some movie 3 dislikers! i really really don't like movie 3 too!
everythings was just messed up.. :angry:
like the part about the marauders at the end, and yes! the QUIDDITCH CUP! *sniffles*
i can't believe they *just* touched on the quidditch.. :(
I wish they just stuck to the first director.
Same here Ralea! *sigh* -_-
-
Sigh...it's the same director for movie 4, isn't it? Does that mean another brilliant book will be hacked to pieces, reassembled in the wrong order, and have some bits burnt with new, silly pages added?
Kinda silly, I know...but that's what I keep imagining the director doing to poor JK Rowling's book....
-
Good thing it's not Alfonso directing book 5. It looks like somehow it stuck to the book. Then again, I might eat my words later.
-
Isn't 4th directed by Mike Newell?
-
Beats me, I just have my fingers crossed! I hope even a new director, who doens't like gay gags, and actually stick to the book will be chosen. Based on the teaser trailer, it didin't look that bad, then again, no one talked, there was hardly any footage to be accountable that I can even have a judgement. I guess its all about waiting, and hoping.
Book 3 was my favourite book though, its sad how the 3rd movie is my least favourite *sniffles*
Ahh well, I'll eventually get over it.

*pats fisah on the back* don't worry..
Although some believed that Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron would be the director for the fourth film as well, Cuaron denied these rumors in July 2003 in an interview with Entertainment Weekly: "It was always only "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" for me. I never thought [seriously] about continuing."
Rumors that Mike Newell might direct the film began in late July 2003, and were officially confirmed in mid-August 2003.
from the Veritaserum
and its only one two-and-a-half hour movie.. :P so they'll definitely chopping parts..
Astonishing Fact: [for me anyways] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is also set to become the most expensive movie ever, with a current budget of $308 million.
-
An expensive movie for a wonderful book :P
-
I'm not too sure about how the movie will turn out coz !and half hr? They'll have 2 cut loads of it.
-
Did you say 'one two and a half hour' film? That might actually mean that they'll keep in a plot....
And I agree with you lot...Book 3 was the best book so far...and movie 3 was by far the worst.....and deserved to have the filmy thing on a wheel burnt!
-
*nods* I agree Ruby Chan, its so sad, *sobs* Its okay though, always reading it makes me feel better. I guess book 3 was my favourite because of Lupin and Sirius, not to mention it was more exciting too ^^
-
book three was my favorite book too and they ruined it with the movie.. *sigh*
-
Astonishing Fact: [for me anyways] Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is also set to become the most expensive movie ever, with a current budget of $308 million.
*le sigh* i have lost all faith in mankind
and Movie 3 was awesome :hmp:, so bite me Rube :laughing4:
-
Did you read the books Vexnet? *curious*
I heard some poeple liked it since it was so, artistic, like they showed everything in detail, with the season changes, and everything. People also said the bgm rocks. But I perfer the other movies because I like things in order and straighforward, it makes the book come to life in a sense. At least, for me.
-
*le sigh* i have lost all faith in mankind
and Movie 3 was awesome :hmp:, so bite me Rube :laughing4:
*lol*
actually, i'd also thought that movie 3 was better than movies 1 and 2..
-
Really, wow, lots of people like the 3rd movie, LOL, shows how much poeple are different.
-
yup..
different people have different taste in stuffs..
-
I think fans who really stick to the book found movie 3 the worst movie.
It's June already, one more month and HBP comes out. I pre-ordered mine already.
-
I think fans who really stick to the book found movie 3 the worst movie.
I agree with you Ralea.. most people find the movies excellent and stuff but if they actually read the books I do believe the story will become better .. and they'll understand it better.. like the whole marauders bit at the end of the 3rd movie.. it was really a brief and fast little part.. it didn't tell us much about them.. :shifty:
that and i believe that the directors will miss out on an important thing during their movie making.. and will stuff the story up somehow..
like Peeves.. no matter how small his part is in the books so far.. :P or Hermione and S.P.E.W. who knows.. :P
-
Yeah, its up to the directors. I read the books first, so I don't like the 3rd movie much, maybe becuase they didnt really elobrate on the Maurders and stuff.
Can't wait for book 6, I have to wait till it comes here, my credit card is like...maxed, LOL
-
I saw the preview of the 4th movie yesterday at the theatre, it looks really awsome! X3
I think fans who really stick to the book found movie 3 the worst movie.
I agree too. In my opinion the movie was the worst of the 3. It was hardly going along with the book.
-
*nods*
I agree, its all about if you like facts and the book alot. I have friends who read the books and love the 3rd movie, they say it was interesting, LOL, I spazzed though, going on about how much info was messed around with. hehehe, I don't like the 3rd movie so much >.<
-
Alfonso wanted a darker look for movie 3. Yes it was darker, so dark, it's depressing. No Quidditch cup, no "Pig" at the end of the movie.....not to mention a lot of cuts.
-
*nods* <---been doing that alot
I agree though. Making something darker, doesn't necessarily mean to take out stuff that are a little lighter in context, but are vital. The Quidditch match was especially interesting, I wanted to see Draco and the crew to scare Harry. Not to mention, it was something I was anticapating >.<
-
I'm a bit worried about movie 4.....how much is going to be cut from the challenges? And at the end, with the death? Will that somehow be removed to make it more wtachable for younger viewers?
I can't wait for book 6 though! Just think...only two books until the series is over! OMG!
-
I'm looking forward to the book six. I really didn't like the last one, the only thing I could think about was... 'Does he ever get to Hogwarts???' It was so long that I can see why it took a quater of the book for him to get to Hogwarts... but it really stressed me out.
-
I liked the beginning of book 5, I think it was a little different then him always going to Hogwarts right away. Its better to give the book vareity, I kinda liked the court part, and how Harry was bitching at everyone, lol.
I'm scared for Book 4 too. Its alot darker than the other books, so I'm wondering. Especially the part where Voldermort come back too. I really WANT to see that!
-
That is going to be such a cool bit if they keep it in.....wonder what the actor will be made to look like? Will he still be all snakey?
-
tehe..
this is the actor playing Lord Voldemort in the 4th movie.. let your imagination run wild.. ^^

piccies from the Veritaserum! ^^ [ <-- they are the best~! :noteworthy:]
-
As the cast for Voldemort is there so he has to be in the movie coz before rising he didn't have a body, right?
Cool avy ani. Fangirls are more scarier than voldemort
-
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the part where Voldemort rises again. Then the duel with the wands! I want to see that!
*nods* Yeah, Voldemort is only one and can kill you by one curse but fangirls are another thing......they'll tear you apart.
-
haha.. :hehe:
yes! i forgot about the wand duels at the end.. :XD: i can't wait to see it.. :okay:
-
wow the wand duel. I forgot about it too. the time when wands connected and when those dead ppl came out and all that.. can't wait.
-
I just hope it's not overdone...as long as it doesn't turn cheesy, it's going to be fantastic!
-
just want to ask.. will anyone of you read book 4 before the movie shows? as in read it again?
for me.. i just dont have the habit of re-reading the books i read..
-
I won't...I read book 3 again b4 the movie, and it made me notice all the missed out bits even more.
-
well done. read the book then see the movie thats just what I do too.
-
I read the book a week before watching the movie. I'm one of those people who are strict to the books. That's why my reaction with movie 3: (http://www.planet-smilies.de/a_smilies/erstaunt_3.gif)
-
i'd like to read it again.. like i usually do.. but i'm afraid t oscream out in the movies "THAT'S NOT RIGHT~!" coz i'm a rabid fan of it.. :heh:
(http://www.planet-smilies.de/a_smilies/erstaunt_3.gif)
btw here's the image ralea was putting up.. that didn't quite show.. ^^ i wonder what it is..
-
Its a smilie and it didn't show cayse she didn't put ']' in the end. Ralea do edit it. Well its the same one which youve put. the yellow one.
-
Oh Hp fans! Naisu ^^
-
what is that?
i like all the book that lady is really talented.
-
Lady? You mean JK Rowling? Yup, she's very talented. But didn't the publishers refuse her at first?
-
yes they did
-
wonder why? luv her books though very thick XP
-
Nah! Not really which one is u fav?
-
my favorite book would be the 3rd, though the movie was sucky
least favorite book was the 5th book. It was an unstable plot
-
umm
i don't know i can't critize someone that famous.
-
aww, please tell us your fave (and least if you want to)
I think DuPre's style is pretty, soft edges and a pastel tone, not too harsh or bright
-
i read 1 to 4, i have the 5 but i don,t have time to read, and it's don't interest me to read it also ^o^
i read all five of the hp books twice in english...i read 1-4 in chinese once and i m too lazy to read the fifth one...
-
I've read all five books 3 times. I didnt like the fifth book though. it was BOOORRRRRING for me.
-
OMFG...II LUV HARRY POTTER..... :inlove:... n i think dan iis HOT i mean HOTITIE ALERT!,....(sigh).. :i saw pixs from da 4th one n dan doesnt look tat hot!.,,,,,,sighzz
-

-
I liked the 5th book b!tchy Harry alert :P
I liked all the books, my least favourite would have to be the second, hehe, but I love them all.....did that make sense? ><
-

I like the 3rd book best :keke:, I'm a Lupin fan
-
:) lol me too, not that big of one though
-
ummm....yeah.
LOL, did it confuse you? hehee, I do that alot ^^
I like the 3rd book too, its probably my favourite book from all of them ^^ *raises "Lupin Fan" sign* Yup, Lupin fangirl :P

Aww, cute, and that comic made me laugh! OMG, that was funny XP
-
*wow*
Okamirei.. those websites are great!! the drawings are awesome! as in, HP in anime forms.. very cute!
how i wish i can draw something like that...
-
Kawaii :XD:
-
wow that was so extreamly kawaii.
-
hehehe....yea lubya is 12 bduh im not im 15! hehehe im usin her sn heheheh
-
Guys, a few more days and we'll find out who the Half Blood Prince is!
Tha's a funny comic! XD
-
how many more days? 15? :keke: Yesh, can't wait...
-
really can't wait to see who it is and to find out why sirius died and exactly what is harry doing on that cover....ok i better shut up otherwise i won't stop. lol.
-
Sirius died because of that witch.... :dodge: evil witch. I want to find out the things behind that curtain though, and who's going to die in this book *cough* :sweatdrop:
-
Yes, evil! *glares* I wanted to know that too, J.K. Rowling really didn't elborate on it, as well.
Just 14 more days! *anticipates*
-
What was that veil. That wasn't explained enough too. Ok . We can get some ideas by knowing that Sirius d.. ( i can't say it) when he went thru it but ... And the locked room in the ministry. And yes the minister is going to change too. Any guesses on who?
-
Hmm, I really dont know, it could be Dumbledore, or even someone of the Order, or ti could just have someone like Lucious since he is so powerful and all -_-
-
Just a thought...could Sirius not be 'gone'...and maybe come back in the last book?
-
not really sure...considering that Harry's going to die in the last book...
-
Eh?! I thought that was a theory!
-
it's more of a rumour that's spreading like wildfire...J.K Rowling has to end the series, so..
-
I have to admit, I wondered about that. I think he'll get rid of Voldemort, then die later of a mortal wound, all heroic with people crying over him.
Or, he takes Voldemort's place, and Rolwing ends the series with Harry creating a new reign of terror....sort of like, there's a bit of baddie in all of us/good doesn't always win?
-
but what about Neville? his birthday's the same as Harry's, so I'm thinking that he'll take a big role in the ending.
-
Oh yeah! The quiet ones always end up being heroes, don't they! Unless he's the half-blood prince...after all, wasn't one of his parents a muggle? Or maybe it's one of Harry's other friends with muggle and witch parents?
-
not sure...maybe it's Dean? or Seamus? I always get those two mixed up :sweatdrop:
me dad's a muggle, mum's a witch....
-
Hmm from that quote i would think that it was seamus. Harry cannot die he just can't! I understand why people are saying that he wil die though. If JK rowling does not kill him she will be hounded the rest of her life to write other harry potter books. Which I wish she would do :sweatdrop:
-
but what about Neville? his birthday's the same as Harry's, so I'm thinking that he'll take a big role in the ending.
he probbly will but Neville's birthday is July 30th.. ^^
-
10 days to go...
-
So who is planning to go to the bookstore at midnight to get the 6th ?
Me, ..this will be my second time doing this , fun fun fun..stuck in a line 100 feet long for 40 min, which isin't that bad
-
Not me! No point...you freeze for nothing, as someone will def buy it and read it before you somewhere in the country!
I buy it online and read it the same day! It's cheaper, and I get it just as fast!
-
I'm going to midnight party at B&N to get mine ^_^
*sigh* I was I was into Harry Potter like I was when I got the 5th book... where did my excitment go? I need to find it!
*goes off to reread 5th book before 6th book comes out*
-
I've preordered mine.. but i'm picking it up after i pick up my mom from the airport.. ^^ so i'll get it around midday.. ^^ which is fine with me..
-
I'm actually going to line out the mall before it even opens. It's a Saturday, so that should be fine. ^__^
-

Here, Borders opens late for some HP party with cosplay and stuff so we can go inside the store to wait in line..might as well go into the manga section and read and make my dad stand in line :heh:

Ive been to one of those last year, when the 5th book came out.^^ it was really nice. One person dressed up as a dragon from the 4th book
-
Very very cool, I have never dressed up,own no garb at all..some guy as snape (who was very good) was creepy..just as it should be ^_^
-
there was this boy who looked exactly like malfoy there o_o; it was scary. Someone cosplayed moaning myrtle too XD
I just wore a cloak and a witch hat :sweatdrop: wasn't really interested in the prizes
-
always tons of potters there..as little as 5 yrs. old
-
Ha... Scholastic posted on their website the back picture of the US cover of the 6th book. They realized that it had spoiler so they quickly removed it. But too late, the picture is all over the HP sites :XD:
I saw the picture, I can see why it would be concidered spoiler... it got me excited for the 6th book, yay :hello2:
(If you want to see it, go to mugglenet.com )
-
Why would it be seen as a spoiler? It's only Voldemort's sign in the sky....
-
Why would it be seen as a spoiler? It's only Voldemort's sign in the sky....
I think the spoiler is because of where the sign is... I'll put the next part spoiler just in case....(it's what fans think of where the place is)
Show content
Althought it seems quite obvious, the sign seems to hovering above Hogwarts... that would mean someone from Hogwarts was killed. If this was true, then it seems that it's not Ron, Hermione, or Ginny.... because they all looking at the sign....of course, I could always be wrong, you never know with Jo :heh:
-
it doesn't necessarily mean that someone was killed but yes.. ^^ that was very observant of you.. i noticed it too. Very interesting.
-
Yeah, a dark mark appears when someone's killed...or Voldy touches a death-eater.
Show content
But why at Hogwarts?!
-
My question exactly
Show content
But Jo said someone wil die in 6th book too.... but I dont' want that to be anyone from Hogwarts! I still can't believe Sirius is gone.... *sigh*
I guess we'll find the answer in a week.
-
Ahhhhhhhh 6 days to go too long to wait for the answer but from that i can imagine that everything is topsy turvy in Harry's world
-
the 6th book supposedly has fewer pages than the 5th, right?
-
Yeah, but I'm betting it will be much more action packed. In OoTP, the first few chapters were about the trio meeting again, and the whole trial, I'm betting were getting rite to the action this time XD
-

But why at Hogwarts?!
Hm...I wonder.[/sarcasm] o_o;;
-
Yeah, a dark mark appears when someone's killed...or Voldy touches a death-eater.
sure? coz in the forth book at the Quidditch world cup to my knowledge Crouch shot the Dark Mark. to see the loyalty of the death eaters.
-
i don't remeber but i can't wait for the next book !!! but hp 3 was my fav book so far and i also think the books are mucho better than the movies!!
-
:haha: new comic from DA~ XD especially for draco x hermione fans

I'm not Hermione x Draco (actually, I'm totally against it... but I respect people opinions :) ) but that was hilarious!!
haha, I'm rereading the 5th book (still haven't reached page 300 o.O ) and I just can stop laughing at some things. There are such a funny moments in the 5th book that I had forgotten... :XD:
-
I think Snape needs more props for his uber ability to totally play both sides.
Here's to Snape betraying everyone and coming out on top at the end o' book 7. *raises glass*
-
I used to hate Snape so much..... but thats until 5th book. I started to have some respect to him because of how he plays the both sides.
My hate for Snape was replaced by Umbridge.... I hate that woman with passion..... :hmp:
-
Yeah, she's more evil than Snape. She hurts students physically, yet, she has the ministry behind her. Wish Cornelius Fudge wasn't the minister anymore. >.<
-
Oh, about Fudge....
Show content
I think I read from Jo's site that he wasn't going to be the minister anymore...
-
*hallelugah plays in the background*
:lol: That's good to hear. I wonder who the new minister will be ^^
Did you guys here that someone commited sucide because they found out a spoiler for the 6th book? Dont know if its true or not, but WOW -_-
-

Yeah, I know about it. It's fake. Every single article in the site with the news is fake.
-
hehehe
the-leaky-cauldron.org also included that article in one of their news updates. it's just a parody though.
-
Grrr.... some idiot in Canada (nothing against Canada or Canadians, of course!) sold 15 copies of the book early.... :dodge:
-
Is Snape actually good or evil? Because the lines have blurred for me, and I can no longer tell....
-
i think the lines are meant to be blurred but dumblydore trusts im
-
No offense...I like Dumbledore just as much as the next person...but he seems awfully trusting. And a bit useless too. He just seemed to sit back in book 5, and let everything happen.
LOL....It would be great if Dumbledore turned out to be Voldemort's superior in book 7, and was really an evil guy...
-
lol that would be funny!!!!
-
I think Snape is good, but hides the fact since he could've worked with Voldermort before, but is becoming good thanks to Dumbledore.
Dumbledore is too trusting, thats why Harry also takes him for granted, as does Fudge. However, I have a feeling he knew Fudge would revolt like that, but kept it under wraps just to get him the right time.
-
a little off topic, but still within harry potter :D
i'm going INSANE!! :XD:
it's wednesday afternoon right now in Singapore. Book 6 will be released @ 7:01AM here in Asia.. that's.. 2 days and some hours away!!! :hello2:
ARRRGGHHHH. can't WAIT for the book to come out!! I'm just so excited!!
-
Calm down! ALL of us here are excited. What did that thing Harry and Dumbledore were looking at the cover of book 6 look like to you? Pensieve? Cauldron?
-
^^ some website said it was a pensive.. :P can't remember which.. :D
-
Many people are guessing about it and most guesses go for a pensive.
-
i'm going for the pensieve as well.
wonder whose memories those are? harry's? dumbledore's? snape's?
hmmm....
and those lucky Canadians who got their issues early but had to return them will get signed bookplates from JK Rowling for returning them. lucky...
-
I hate myself! I already reserved a copy at a bookstore near my place. I didn't know there was another one which would open at 7:01 AM. The bookstore near my place opens at 10 AM!! ah...the agony!
oh well...I'm in Asia so I guess that means I'll get the book earlier than the people in the West. :D
-
thats no fair!!!! :P you'll have a head start on me!!!
-
Aww... you are so lucky, Little Wolf....
I'm in US, so I gotta wait 5 more hours after it was released in UK.... >_<
Gahhh, another copy of 6th book accidentally sold.... this time in NY. Honestly, if you can't read a huuuge label that says don't put it up until the 16th, what on earth are you doing in a bookstore?
-
another one??? jeez mina you are right, stupid people who can't read shouldn't work in bookstores!!!
-
makes you wonder..
looks like most bookstores have HP in their storerooms already.. HOW do they stop themselves from opening up those boxes and indulging themselves and reading?? have they? haven't they?
if i were working in a bookstore, i'd probably be caught in the storeroom with a flashlight reading through the new book. :heh:
-

LOLZ, I'm already dreading that! We might be in the same bookstore! :D My friends were talking about lining up at the mall before it even opens, and when it opens, they'll rush in like crazy. I have this imagination of myself trying to get away from mad shoppers. XD
But that's an advantage when you live in Asia. You get it earlier. XD
If you were working in a bookstore and reading book 6 instead of working, your boss will probably scold you. :sweatdrop:
-

Same bookstore? That would be cool. :keke:
oh yeah..I did that with Book 5. I was already outside the mall waiting for the opening. I got the book during breaktime at school. I was so happy that I didn't have a class on that hour. hehe..when the mall opened, I thought it was really funny how all the people were all going in the same direction...to the bookstore. :lol:
anyway, it's a pity I didn't have my copy reserved in that 7:01 AM bookstore. If I did, I'd have to wake at 5 AM just to catch the opening cos that store is too far away from my place. -_- still, I'm willing to do anything just to be first! :greengrin:
if i were working in a bookstore, i'd probably be caught in the storeroom with a flashlight reading through the new book. :heh:
haha! me too.. :D
-
less than 24 hours~~~!!
*excited*
-
and the half-blood prince is----?? o__________________o
*ponders* only 12 more hours.....
-
15 hours 21 minutes .. ^^
-
13 hours 17 min.. can't wait any longer
-
It's now 12:12 AM here at my place. Mugglenet site is now saying "HBP IS HERE!"
Can't wait for morning to come! right..I need to get some sleep first. :keke:
-
10 hours 50 minutes left...
I'm getting restless!! But I"m gonna try to take a nap so I can stay up tonight :sweatdrop:
*chants* it's almost here, it''s amost here, it's almost here
-
I've pre-order the 6th book. But I don't think I'll be watching the movies anymore. I mean, they totally screwed number 3. And that one was my favorite book so far, *grumbles* but I might go watch the fourth, or I'll rent it after it's out. After that they said they aren't doing anymore by the books so I don't know if I'll go see them,
-
The movies really screw up the films, but I still wanna see them. Maybe if I don't read the book the night before next time, I won't be so disappointed....
-
I read a newspaper article that Azkaban's movie might've been the last movie they would make because of the actors growth spurt. LOL. And it's true. I compare Draco's actor in the 3rd movie to teh previous ones. Im like WOW.... how'd you get so tall? haha
I want to read the Half Blood Prince. Im bored reading the other ones over and over... lol
-
You mean the actors would make right? I thought they might have to get new actors if the kids continued growing...that's what I heard anyway...but the movies would still be made.
-
I dont know. THe article i mentioned was written before teh 3rd one came out... old right? Lol. But it DID say maybe
-
That article is, old then. I mean the 4th movie is almost in completetion..... and they have already made plans for teh 5th book.
They will make movies, just not sure whether they would be same actors/actoresses
-
haha, the borders is clear out of HP 6 until next week (d*** pre-orders)! So I'll just go to costco , cheaper too.
-
regarding the actors.. i thought even the characters in the books grow too? only the fact that in actual, they are growing way too fast..
-
I am going to the movie charlie and the chocolate factory a late showing then heading straight for wal mart (they are having a sale on hp all over the country!!! SCORE!!) the 3rd book was also my favorite so far and the movie did mess it up
-
In about an hour or less, I'm going to Barns & Noble to get my wrist band in order to get the book at midnight, yay :hello2:
-
^^ YAY AT LAST! officially i can get my book in 1 and a half hours! :D
hmm.. now to get ready to be the rush..
-
Lol. The fourth book... oh man, I don't think I can imagine what'll happen...was it me or was it kinda angsty? And the 5th one; I definitely want to see that. Lol
I'm just going to go to the library for the 6th one. I can't exactly go buy it anyway. Lol. Too lazy to go to Barnes & Noble. Too far from the CLOSEST one anyway. ^_____^"
-
I got my wrist band!! Whoo-hoo! I'm number 48th!! :hello2: I knew I should have gone to B&N earlier.... ah well. They were supposed to hand out the bands at 6pm, but it seems that they handed them out early because they were so many people :XD:
-
6 hrs and 45 minutes to go!!!! yay stupid clock go faster!!! *growls at clock*
-
See ya guys, It's 9:00 here and I'm off to the bookstore! *prances away happily*
-
lucky, at last minute I was banned from going to the bookstore by my parents...stupid stupid bookstore, all books are already preorderd until next week
-
(don't go to a book store go to a walmart if there are any nearby!! hp books will be $16 there )
-
nearest walmart is 45 min away, blah, costco is selling them for $15 *sshhh*
-
Barnes and Noble is the closest store. Besides, I want to be in the midnight party. If I get bored, I can always go to the back of the store and read manga :okay:
-
that was I was planning to do at borders, except manga is on a totally different level than the line, I think
-
only a few hours left....*stares at watch* 5 hours 30 mins, urgh x_x
-
stop staring, its not good for your health :D
-
says you :keke:
hm...should I cosplay at the party? I think I can try and find my witch hat. =d
-
huh? what party? will you be the only one doing the cosplay?
i suppose it will be fun?
-
they usually have a party at the bookstores. with contests and cosplays. Argh, I almost won the quiz contest last year, but I forgot what NEWTs were... x_x nastily exhausting wizarding tests, lol
-
ohh!!
i saw the Harry Potter news just now on tv.. people who were waiting in queue.. some were dress in costumes! i thought its interesting! there's even a 'Dumbledore' in the crowd..
-
a few minutes left! got to prepare now for the rush... I envy those who got it earlier here a few hours ago. ANd they had that quiz contest thing too! but I doubt I had any chances of winning that since the last time I read an HP book was when HP 5 was released and that's a long, long time ago... anyway, got to go now!
-
I'm going at 12:00 midnight as well, and its 6:00 right now, so 6 hours to go! CANT WAIT! *does a jig* HBP HERE I COME! *dances*

ohh!!
i saw the Harry Potter news just now on tv.. people who were waiting in queue.. some were dress in costumes! i thought its interesting! there's even a 'Dumbledore' in the crowd..
a dumbledore? =o lol, wow. It would be hard for people not to stare. *imagines his beard of cotton*
*glances at watch* 4 hours 36 minutes...
-
i totally forget that there's a programme on tv where JK Rowling will read a chapter of the new book from the Edinburgh Castle.. by the time i remembered.. its too late... :cry:
-
haha.. yeah, it will be hard not to stare.. but in the queue, there were several people doing cosplay.. so i reckon its a common sight...
go and do something which will make time past even quickly... play games, sleep or find your witch hat...
-
hehe, besides staring at the computer screen? good idea... :keke:
-
yup! instead of staring in the computer screen and looking at your watch... *lol*
or if you have the Harry Potter films, go and re-watch it..
-
they usually have a party at the bookstores. with contests and cosplays. Argh, I almost won the quiz contest last year, but I forgot what NEWTs were... x_x nastily exhausting wizarding tests, lol
Same here! I almost won too. Except I said that Headless Nick was...er... "chopped" 47 times... but iit was 45..... darn it >_<
...3...3 hours left! *starts twitching*
oh, that's no good.... I think I need Calming Potion....if there is one
-
I'm leaving for the midnight party!
Less than 2 hours left, wheee!!
-
Lol. It's been so long since I read an HP book... I don't have my own copies so I wouldn't really remember what NEWTs were.... or OWLs... oh wait, that's Ordinary Wizarding Levels, right? Lol. OMG I REMEMBERED!!! =P
Dumbledore cosplay.... I wonder how long the beard was. Lol.

I can't believe it... Jo, how could you? How could you do this to me? I was crying my eyes out for more than half an hour. Dumbledore was my most favorite character. I always said that if there was a character that I wish would exist in real life, it would be Dumbledore. But now......... *sniff*
-
I still haven't even got the book. I'm getting it on wednesday but I already know who is going to die and all. Oh I was so angry. I was at school and somebody was yelling "hey wasn't it... who killed..." and I was so freaked out. I had decided that I won't read a single spoiler before reading the book. I want to really beat up the boy who yelled it in class.
-
At least you still don't know who is HBP ^_______^""""
-
Yeah, HBP was a hard one. ^__^ Even until near the end, I couldn't figure out who he was, til JK got to that part.
-
Indeed, figuring out who HBP was hard.... I didn't get it until Jo said it....

At least you still don't know who is HBP ^_______^""""
Oh yes i do. My hopeless friends made sure that they ruin it for me. Ok now i have started reading it. Actually I got it through mail as a PDF file. I can give you the links if you want. Though i am going very slow bcoz reading on the comp is very uncomfortable. I've just read 2 chapters yet.
-
No way, there's actually Hp books in PDF files? Erm, how did they TYPE all those pages then? LOLZ!
-
I just finished the book, and well....omg, I'll just put my comments in the little spoiler tags:
Show content
First off: Killing Dumbledore is the stupidest thing EVER! I know that killing him is vital to the plot, and I think it will make Harry grow up more, maybe realize that Dumbledore wont always be there looking after him, there wont be someone who will listen to him anymore. But I think it was so sad that Dumbledore had to learn the hard way as to how Snape was truley evil, and that Harry shouldnt have been taken lightly. I thought that after OoTP's events, people would take Harry seriously, who cares if the whole Chosen thing was spreading around, his one friends, didn't belive him. I was especially annoyed with Hermoine, as much as I like the Ron/Hermoine pairing, I think Harry should've been taken seriously instead of being lecutered. Even Dumbledore, everyone took his words as spite, and everyone keeps being narrowminded and so flippant, it makes me so mad, because they should no better! Especially Dumbledore! I didn't want him to die, I really didn't. I cried, because he was so helpless, and he begs for his life, and Snape, that evil snape, i cant believe. He wsa ruthful, horrible, and I think Dumbledore trusted him with his life, and its sad that so many people die at Snapes hand. Hopefully people will not take Harry as a joke anymore, because I think he deserves better. He was the only one who was suspicious, while everyone just belived that age was the prime thing. Look at Voldermort! Or Sirius or even Harry! Even though they were young, they still had magnificent powers, even Harry's father. Age doesnt matter, its the abilities, and Dumbledore should've listened to Harry, or else this wouldn't have happened, everyone should've.
Also, the romance in this book was very...erm, different. I thought Ginny/Harry was very cute, but rather rushed.....and ended really fast. I didn't want them breaking apart, and I thought Harry having this absolute...lust, for her, was rather odd, because he was so clueless in the 5th book. Not to mention almost everyone is snogging like no tommorow, especially Hermione and Ron, *sigh* they were kissing the wrong people, I think its rather ridiculous how this coupling is being streched out. I use to like Harry/Hermoine...but they arent exactly compatiable, both are really stubborn, maybe even more than Ron, and have high ideals, them being together would be way weird, so I thought the romance was okay...but so crammed :lol:
I think I want to kill Snape and Malfoy myself, in fact, I thnk I hate them more than Dumbledore. I use to love Malfoy, yes I'm one of those scary little fangirls, but I thought he was a bastard in this book, who could've changed for teh better. Snape is even more a bastard. I was schocked that he was part of the whole death of harrys parents, I couldn't belive it.
This book was really good, better than OoTP in some ways and not, the romance made more sense I guess in book 5, but book 6 seemed rushed, but I enjoyed it. I think the story is getting alot darker, and I do hope how the book will be like, without Hogwarts, it seems odd that the trio wont be going there anymore, anyway, I've ranted enough XD
-
I finsihed reading the book on sunday around 9pm.. =)
The book was okies I guess.. =P I kinda hoped for more action.. and a little more angsty!Harry.. =) But I guess it couldn't be helped..
I didn't think it was fanfiction-y but it did seem a little different from JK Rowling's other books.
my thoughts V
Show content
Ron/Lavender wasn't nessasary.. *sweatdrop* too much snogging. I think that he just got together with Lavender because of what Ginny said.. *shakes fist*
I don't know .. the romances did seem a little rushed if i think about it. *sigh* I wanted more Hermione/Harry parts.. not really a huge fan of Ron/Hermione.. :P
haha.. i seriously thought that Slughorn was the HalfBlood Prince.. :D *shrugs* almost.. ^^
eep! it seemed a little over done at the end.. the whole hero-ish thing that Harry was described in? like .. blah blah.. going off to find the Horcruxes and kill the 7th piece - which is voldemort. bleh.. and it was nice to see Hermione and Ron say that they would accompany Harry in search of the Horcruxes.. but it seemed so corny.. >.<
It didn't seem too fanfiction-ish to me.. somehow I was imagining Harry to be angsty, a little of what he was like in OotP .. for someone really close to him, it looked like to me he got over Sirius pretty quickly.. *looks annoyed*
I liked how Dumbledore was telling Harry how he didn't need to follow the prophecy.. only .. I can't really imagine Dumbledore talking like that.. Rowling had "!..Dumbledore cried out." Those were really annoying.. and how Harry seemed like he ddn't understand what he was talking about..
The Ginny thing was sweet.. but as others have said before me.. I will be really frustrated if she uses that as the reason he really kills Vodemort and all.. to try and save Gin.. *looks annoyed* Harry Potter wasn't made out to have a love story ending!
SNAPE! omGosh! argg.. I'm soo pissed with him.. *looks annoyed* how COULD HE! Dumbledore really trusted him. *chucks a tantrum*
The Minister of Magic seems to be really annoying.. he has a good point but really.. Harry doesn't want to.. bleh..
I just realised something .. that all of the trio got a boyfriend or girlfriend and then they all became single in the end.. *sweatdrop* Hermione was with McLaggen - Ron was with Lavender - Harry was with Ginny.. >.<
I really pitied Draco at the end.. it seemed like he was forced to that side.. like deep down he wanted to go to the light side.. His mother and himself would've been killed if he didn't do it! wow... he cried too! I never really thought Rowling would make Draco cry.. :P

AAAAARGH! I CANNOT BELIEVE SNAPE KILLED DUMBLEDORE!! *stabs Snape plushie with knife* Baka! Baka! Baka!
*sighs* Still a really good book though, a lot better than the 5th. It was surprising how the half-blood prince turned out to be Snape (SNAPE! *glares*). Lots of romance and er, 'smogging' in HBP. Ron's relationship with Lavender was wierd oO; . Yet so was Bill and Fleur, lol. XD
Slugworth didn't seem to appeal much, as the new teachers did in the books before. Rather stupid man, I thought -_- . Impersonizing himslf as an armchair! LMAO! I was wondering why the man looked so wierd in the chapitre picture. Dobby looked rather cute though, lol.
Crabbe and Goyle, using the polyjuice potion to turn into girls! XD ROFL . The descrtiption of the tapestry near the room of requirement was hilarious too, trolls in tutus, :lol: XD
Aragog died too? nyaa....
I wanna sip from the Felix potion too! XD Just one lucky day...
I couldn't stop reading when they reached to the cave. o_o Inferi rising from the lake...*shudder*
Then there's Lupin and Tonk's relationship....not a very good couple XD. Yet it's better that Bill x Fleur I suppose.
So Ginny's still with Harry? Hyu~
I suppose they won't be talking much about Hogwarts in the next book. Wonder how Harry's going to ditch the Dursleys XD
Only one book left........o_o
okay, I guess that's enough from me. This is the first time I've posted so much, lol :sweatdrop:
CURSE YOU, SNAPE!! (-w-)

Draco crying was really adorable, I pitied him too, but he was way to scronful when speaking to Dumbledore. -_-
Ron/Lavender was sickening, and really REALLY random....kind of like how the whole Luna/Harry semi-date thing was XD
Speaking od random, so Tonks/Lupin. I mean, I thought she was crying about Sirius then all of sudden, Tonks is in love with Lupin, there entire love thing was in one paragraph @__@ So odd ......
I always thought Harry/Hermoine was hinted at in OoTP, and then, all of sudden, it was totally disregarded. I thought the whole romance thing was very odd to me. LMAO, Phlegm..I mean, Fleur/Bill was very amusing, Ginny is quite the biatch at times, so is Mrs. Weasely. So funny XD

Amen. I actually liked Luna better than Ginny. >.< I was hoping it would be them, since, you know, she and Harry went to "Slug"'s party together. Ginny was like, I dunno, a little sister for Harry....in my opinion. And my shock when I read Ginny was snogging Dean.....OMG.....
I actually thougt Godric was the Half Blood Prince....:D
I really pitied Dumbledore, especially when Harry was forcing him the weird potion, and he was "No more, no more...." I was near in tears! Especially when Dumbledore was....*sniff*

I perfer Luna then Ginny too, but Ginny was okay, but I thought Harry/Ginny was random, and erm, weird, but okay I guess, always wanted to know Ron's reaction to Harrry dating his sister XD, also, Dumbledore was the best, Harry forcing him to drink the potion made me cry, I've never seen Dumbledore so helpless, it was so sad. Ron was funny when he said he was in love with Romilda, and Harry's like "Your joking?" the whole time, ROFL.
In my opinion, I always thought Harry and Dumbledore would be the key to destroy Voldermort, I mean, there the best match to win. Harry's way to emotionally unstable, and Dumbledore wasn't that young, so I thought they'd do it together, but now, Its only Harry, and I think the ending for Book 7 wont be a happy one.
It will also be weird with a story not revolving around Hogwarts, it will be hard to get use to the fact that Hogwarts wont be so important.

okay. I just finished it. It was good.
I had already known who the half blood prince it but in between the story I was getting doubtful of whether my information was correct or not.
Show content
ron and hermione are still not officially a pair. I mean they nearly are but... What do you think was the third thing hermione was reminded of when she smelled the love potion? definitely something to do with ron. And krum is dumped. Poor boy he really did seem to be in love with her while now i think he must have found someone else too or else he would have atleast tried to stay in contact.
Tonks was so sad all this time just because remus refused to marry her? that seems not soooo big a reason.
No hogwarts in the next book? that will be completely unusual. but that what could you expect to stay usual now that dumbledore is dead. (though maybe we will see more of hogwarts). I was really sad to think that dumbledore did all that which caused his death in the end and nothing came out of it as the horcruxe wasn't the real thing. harry took DD's death in a much better way than he did Sirius's.
Snape, that evil but very specialised devil. And a lot is revieled about Voldemort (i don't know why but i was tempted to type Voldy-san, maybe coz that sounds funny). And Draco was actually considering the option of joining the good side. He really is stuck. He was all lonely and helpless. Noticed how he was crying in front of myrtle.Any guesses on his becoming all good in the end if he survives? Why didn't the elfs(/elves) gave harry more news on what was happening.
Wonder who R.A.B is.And whether he is still alive or not. ( i think probably not) and whether he destroyed it or not.
There was something else I had to say too but can't remember it now.
-
i remember it now.Its just that nearing the end there were some things in the story which strongly reminded of 'the lord of the rings'. for those who have read that book:
Show content
when DD and harry were walking alond the lake in the cave, DD asked harry not to touch it. That reminded me of the lake which the fellowship passed by before entering moria. Later when harry saw dead bodie in it, that reminded me of the dead marshes which frodo and sam cross with gollum to reach Mordor.
What do you think was that potion making DD think?

That was a brilliant theory. Many things i hadn't noticed but was interested on seeing them.

I've heard some other theories from a cousenlor, I think they are pretty whacked

She thinks Harry is a horcrux, and he will kill himself to destroy the horcrux.. and part of the lifeline of Voldmort, and Neville will kill Voldmort in the very end

I'm happy with the coupling of this book... Yay! *throws confetti* Harry x Ginny is my favorite couple, not counting Ron x Hermione. I wish Ron and Hermione fully got together though. That sucks. But it's so touching.

Your friendly neighborhood moderator here. I'm lifting the mandatory spoiler and changed the title of this thread to reflect that. If you wish to continue to use spoiler tags, that's fine but now it's no longer mandatory if it makes it easier for the Harry Potter fans to discuss and share.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions on any General Media topics. Thank You.

I think that Harry, or at least his scar is a Horcrux! That would explain the mind link and sharing of You Know Who's powers! Plus, You Know Who had just killed Harry's mum and dad... a prime time ti make a Horcrux. :angry: If not Harry, I think the scar is. (that's why it always hurts maybe).
I didn't really like the book but it did set up the next book well. Can't wait for 7! It's a powerful number in magic remember? :heh:
-
Hmmm...and it would provide JK Rowling with a way to end the books, if Harry had to die to destroy Voldemort....but what about the prophecy that one could live if the other died?
-
I heard from a friend that JKR is contracted for 8 books -_- ..If she is...she sure is taking her time
-
8?! I thought it was 7?
-
i also thought there were only going to be 7 books
-
I also heard it was 7 books. *sighs* I'm waiting too long for this stuff to come out. Lol. Or they're taking too long to write. >_>
About the Horcrux... the ones that were listed were:
1 - Riddle's Diary
2 - Marvolo's Ring
3 - Hufflepuff's Cup
4 - Slytherin's locket
5 - Ravenclaw's or Gryfindor's heirloom *?*
6 - His own regenerating body
7 - ???
The 7th was still yet to be fount right? And I'm interested in Brad's idea of Harry's scar being a Horcrux. Though my mind seems to also nag at me how Dumbledore had said that Voldemort had already failed in killing him. And he mentioned he could've used Nagini... they mentioned something about a snake, right? o.O".....?
Suddenly, I have no idea what im talking about. lol
But a question, I still have a few more chapters to read but I cant help but ask (frankly i dont give a hoot about spoilers, lol)... WHAT exactly does Harry see in Ginny? o_O
-
His regenerating body? I thought it was his snake, Nagini?
-
No. I'm pretty sure I remember what a Horcrux is. You cannot remove an entire soul from the original body so Voldemort's body has to have a part of his soul left and so I quote what Dumbledore had said, "He would not have a sense of his self without it."
-
there are one in both. one in his regenerated body and another in nagini according to dumbledore but you really can't be very sure.
I think that it is popssible that he gave a part of his sole accidently to harry through that attack as that will not just explain his mind connection but also why harry has some of his powers like being parseltongue. but still that should have made harry atleast a little evil. It didn't maybe voldy gave him all the good he had left in himself(if there was any) and thats why he is even more evil and more dangerous now.
keep guessing.
and i'm preety sure that there are only 7 books.
-
So that's 7 then? If we count the snake. Lemme' see
1 - Riddle's Diary
2 - Marvolo's Ring
3 - Hufflepuff's Cup
4 - Slytherin's locket
5 - Ravenclaw's or Gryfindor's heirloom *?*
6 - Nagini
7 - His regenerating body

could be the lighting.. ^^ but yeah they killed the personality a bit by making her hair like this.. hermione's hair was/is suppose to be unmanagable.. :P i suppose emma grew up from the emma from PS and CoS and demanded that her hair not be killed into frizziness.. :P hehe.. i know my hair gets ruined when frizzied..:D

Maybe, but that hermoine spark is missing *sigh* I shouldn't complain :lol:
Harry's hair is longer, I noticed that, and Ron has a very different hair cut >.<
This movie has to be better than the third, there's just way to much to mess it up XD Plus, I hope its longer too, ^^

If they mess this one up, I will personally string them up. They already ruined one of the best books of the series...if they do it to another, I'll....aargh!

Just a thought...Harry's standing by Tom Riddle's grave, and it's light, as if it's daytime...
I thought it was something like a foggy night/evening? Don't tell me they're trying to tone down the 'scary' parts.....
-
they might've had to tone it down because of the ratings...
Ah! they're taking SPEW out! o_o
-
like they did for 3? X_x
3 wasn't scary at all!
-
True. I was actually laughing at it, really.... *cough*
-
Remember how they mangled the final scenes, and made Lupin's transformation basically into a comedy? If that happens with Voldemort's 'rebirth', then I'll be seriously miffed. And I won't go to a HP film again.
-
Me too, I want the 4th to be really dark, so far, my favourite book was just a big joke, nothing even good, and those talking jamaican heads >_>
I want the movie to be dark, thrilling, wonderful, and following the book! No pathetic twists and turns, and plot messups -_-
Did I hear no SPEW?? *sobs*
-
I suppose it would be a bit too hard to fit SPEW into a movie....does that mean that Mr Crouch's House Elf will have a much smaller role? And what about Dobby?

Question, was everyone shocked at the ending... With Snape and all of the lastest book because I was so sad and so depressed to see that some I thought was a misunderstood hero.... *sigh*
Has anyone read it yet?
-
^^ if you go back a few pages you might find some spoiler tags cardwitch.. :P they're all pretty much about the 6th book. a lot of us have read it.. :D
-
Yeah, you can say that again. I was actually infuriated about the ending. Oh, not that I hated it. It's just another fan-like outburst of excitement. Lol.
SPEW.... it was one of the few things that made me laugh... aside from the wisecracks at Malfoy. HAHA I'll seriously want to see him as The Amazing Bouncing Ferret, as Ron names him, XD w00tz go Mad-Eye Moody! *even though it was a Death Eater* >_>
-
Thx for da pics ani ^__________^ All so cool !!!!!!!!!!
There'r only thing make me still anxious, what's exactly Harry see in Ginny ?!?!
-
Lol, I asked that earlier. I've still yet to find out. I think when I read the part that Harry started noticing her as.... well, a gf factor, I was like.... o_O!? I think it totally came out of nowhere when Rowling was writing the story. Lol
-
Yeah... =( There'r no proof that Harry and Ginny macth each other........ Honestly, I don't like them >____>
-
in the end when harry told ginny that they can't b together i thought that it was so much like spider man2. It did seemed a lot FanFic-ish to me.
-
Lol, no... Mary Jane DID end up with Peter... if I remember correctly. BUT WAIT! This isn't about Spider Man!!
Well, I stay by what I said before, totally random thing when written. Just where the idea came from is beyond my knowledge. rofl
-
it should have been luna and harry! i think she's my favorite character yet!
well besides sirius and lupin
-
luna? she is hilarious even when she doesn't mean to be. yeah she's a great character.
-
Yeah if Harry can't be with Hermione, Luna is anothe good choice [but no Ginny] >_______<
I was wishing that Harry will be with Hermione, and Ron with Luna.... I think Ron and Luna would make a hilarious couble XDD
-
Somehow, I think that Luna may be more important than people think her to be. Rowling may have just put her in for comedy purposes....but knowing Rowling's way of planning ahead, I think that Luna may turn out to be somebody extremely special or powerful in the last book.
-
Book 6 was definitively NOT WHAT EXPECTED.....but Jo always does that in the serie (apparently, she wanted to satisfy herself before she can satisfy her fans!!!)
When I finished reading the book I couldn't believe it!! I'm still depressed....Is not what he deserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhh!...and about the movies, I really don't like them much, but I can tolerate them (kind of..)
I'm a Potter-maniac....I think that now we (the fans) have to formulate really, really smart questions so we can unsolve the misteries for Book 7!!! Onegai....I`m looking for someone with whom I can discuss the book!!!(I need someone besides my older sister, though she's an expert in the subject)
-
Well, here we are so discuss away.
***Yeah if Harry can't be with Hermione, Luna is anothe good choice [but no Ginny] >_______<***
Amen to that! I felt like JK rushed the Harry x Ginny thing. I mean, she could've built it up from the first books.
-
Totally agree with you Ralea!! The whole Harry and Ginny thing totally came out of nowhere- i mean when he just grabbed her and kissed her- i cringed at that part- i was like whats going on??
i supported luna with harry- cos at least Jo built a more convincing build up of their relationship in the 5th book- oh well, Expect the unexpected- thats what kero always says in the dubbed version of CCS anyways! :sweatdrop: :tongue:
-
It's a good saying...except I despised that it was from Cardcaptors.....anyway....
Yes, Harry x Luna all the way! I mean, she has to be! Harry invited her for slug's party. And Ginny seems to be just...moving, I mean come on...
Michael Corner-->Dean Thomas-->Harry Potter?
-
It's a good saying...except I despised that it was from Cardcaptors.....anyway....
i know what u mean!! ^_^ lolzz
Yeh, the characters just seem so outta character! Ron, Ginny, Harry, Hermione (prob not so much! i wud have expected her to get another guy to make ron jealous-payback!! ha ha!)
-
I must say that book six was a great disapointment in many ways. I don't really think Rowling can wrap it all up in one more book, unless it is twice as thick or poorly developed.
-
Really? I thought book 6 was one of the best, up there with numbers 1 and 3. The only poorly developed thing was Harry's relationship with Ginny, I thought.......otherwise, it was very good in my opinion.
-
Oh, I found an amazing website www.dumbledoreisnotdead (http://www.dumbledoreisnotdead)
At first, I was skeptical when I read the book, and I think I was way to angry to even notice half the clues that pointed to this theory. I swear, I whacked my head at some of them ^^ Anyway, you guys should read it, its really good, and I think I actually believe it.
This book was so awesome! The romance was a little iffy, but the plot and the everything else was just great. It was really excititng IMO, and its even better than my all time fav, the 3rd book, because this one makes you think alot. Its as if you can decide the ending, rather the book deciding it for you. Such as: Is Snape really evil? or Is Dumbledore dead? We can think and think and still be left with no answer, but that's what makes it fun. Sure, there wasn't exactly a definite ending (that's what the 7th book is for) however, it was great nonetheless ^^
Kay, I'll stop preaching you guys now :lol:
-
That was a really good site! But although I like the theory, I prefer it with Dumbledore dead, as it will force Harry to stand on his own two feet, and fight back against Voldemort without being able to rely on the advice of Dumbledore.
I think one of the reasons Dumbledore decided to suddenly start teaching Harry about Voldemort was because he knew he would die soon, so it was now or never when it came to telling Harry those things.
-
That's a very well thought out website, but I think the plot was designed so Harry would have to stand alone in the end. It wouldn't suprise me if Ron and Hermione were killed to give Harry an extra push towards pursuing Voldemort.
-
I just started to read the 2nd book of Harry Potter. I've seen all the movies. I'm really excited to see the one thats coming out in November. Sooo excited! :sweatdrop:
Even though I'm not the biggest HP fan you'll met, I do enjoy reading the books that I've read so far and hey, I thought the movies were awesome. x3
-
The webmaster must be quite observant and thinks a lot... or that's just me. o_O its an excellent site of theories although some of it doesn't quite make sense... but thats just probably me again. -.-"
-
I didn't realise until I read that website that our english books got bits hacked out that were left in the american published ones! That's not fair at all, especially since JK Rowling lives here! How come we get half-measures?!
Ooh....that sounds a bit mean. :heh: What I meant to say is, it was annoying that we missed out on so many vital sentence, especially in the last few chapters.
-
Jk said so herself that book 6 was her favorite among the rest.
No, no, no, no, no! Not Hermione and Ron! Kill anyone, kill Ginny for all I care, just don't kill Hermione and Ron!
-
I agree that they probably will die. Somehow I see all of Harry's friends dying in the lead up to the finale, as something to spur Harry on. I envision omething like an X 1999 storyline, with everyone gone except for our hero.....
Or, it will be like X, with some dying, and our hero dying to save the world....but leaving behind people to grieve over him.
-
no i don't realy think so. not both of them. please no. but i do think that harry will die. Maybe something like dying himself and taking voldy with him.
-
It is likely that Harry will die with Voldemort. One theory is that the meaning of the prophecy is exactly that. The other theory I have is that it will end like Chrono Crusade in which the main evil doesn't even die. The goods guys think they won, and are out of energy but then it cuts to the evil being just walking away without a scratch.
-
Oh, I agree, Dumbledore's death gave Harry that extra push,. he's powerful, but he needs to do things on his own. I think when Ginny and Ron go with him, they might get hurt or even killed, making Harry go on a rampage, maybe Voldermort might get killed with Harry, that would be such a tear jearker, but seems plausible as well. However, the thought of Dumbldore actually alive is really good, I admire that webmaster, they seriously went all out ^^
-
i don't think that jo will give the book an evil ending. I mean harry dies or not but voldemort will b destroyed.
-
If Ginny dies, I swear I will murder someone. *evil look appears in eye*
Just kidding about the killing. But I will be majorly pissed.
-
at this point i don't really care who dies next.. JKR has already killed off my two favorite characters.. :P
-
Yeah, you got a point there. But there's one more favorite character I have they haven't killed yet and his name is Harry Potter. If JK kills Harry, I will lose my faith in all of her books.
-
I don't know....I think he should die. Something like he staggers back to his surviving friends, wounded, and they're all congratulating him, when he collapses to the floor.....if Hermione's still alive, she'd be crying and begging him to hold on....and Ron (if alive) would be holding onto her, and be all pale and shocked.
Then we just have Harry saying something, and then Rowling maybe saying how everything faded into black.....sort of like partially writing the last bit from Harry's point of view.
-
^^ ruby-chan that's a pretty realistic ending.. ^^ maybe you should write the last book.. :D so we don't have to wait 2 years for the next one to come out.. LoL.. :D
-
Even if she wrote the last book, it'd take her 2 years as well. :D
-
^^ ruby-chan that's a pretty realistic ending.. ^^ maybe you should write the last book.. :D so we don't have to wait 2 years for the next one to come out.. LoL.. :D
Actually thats a good idea as ruby-chan is so good with fanfics and it would b great.
-
Even if she wrote the last book, it'd take her 2 years as well. :D
LoL.. would it? ^^ hmm.. maybe we could help her out? it might take less time! :D LoL
-
Haha, if you asked me to help write the book, I'd do pretty wacky things....like reviving Sirius or Dumbledore!
^
l
Is legally pronounced CRAZY!

LoL.. I wouldn't mind reviving them.. :D :D :D
*sigh* how come Jo had to kill them.. :(
-
Beacause it's part of the story. Has JK started writing on book 7 yet?
-
I don't think she's started yet.. ^^ She said she wanted to spend some time with her children..
-
She's written quite a lot of book 7, actually. Most of the last chapters, in fact. They were written before she even started work on the 6th book, and whilst she was finishing the 5th!
-
I thought she said in an interview she was going to wait a year before starting on it....
Anyway, I don't know if anyone said this before, but did you realize Snape made the Unbreakable Vow?
' "And should it prove necessary . . . if it seems Draco will fail . . ." whispered Narcissa (Snape's hand twitched within hers, but he did not draw away}, "will you carry out the deed that the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?"
There was a moment's silence. Bellatrix watched, her wand upon their clasped hands, her eyes wide.
"I will," said Snape. '
We already know now that Malfoy's task was to kill Dumbledore. He couldn't do it though, and Snape ended up killing him. Would this be the reason? Knowing Snape, he would rather let Dumbledore die that he himself.
-
I think Dumbledore knew he was going to die under Snape's wand. There was a scene where they were fighting - something about snape thinking that dumbledore was asking to much.. and they were arguing..
-
Yeah, there were some suggestions (I suggest you look waaaaaaayyyyyyy back in the thread for a link I posted) that said that Snape read Dumbledore's mind, and Dumbledore begged to be killed.....he said "Please" didn't he? Pretty wild, ain't it?
-
but preety believable.
-
yep I agree with you Ralea maybe dumbledore did ask snape to kill him if nesscesary! I think there is more to it than meets the eyes. Sometime you have to sacrifice something to gain the thing you want most, and in his case he maybe sacrifice his life so harry can find those horcruxes and defeat voldemort.
-
http://www.livejournal.com/users/garlandgraves/3409.html
this is that excellent theory that ralea was talking about and she posted it really long time ago.
-
Even though the book 6 didn't go as i wanted i still want to read the ending....... I still think that snape did it because dumbledore told him too...... And i was dissappionted with the official pairing too! harry and Ginny! I wanted harry and hermione! but i didn't like herimone in the book as mush as i did in in the movie.
welz the 4th moive is about 2hrs. and 30 mins. long.... I'm happy bout that!

[CAUTION: MAJOR SPOILERS ((as already stated in the name of the topic))]
Same here! I love Harry/Hermione! I got so mad when it was Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny I nearly threw the book down in disgust. I really don't like the people of www.mugglenet.com or something like that because when I read the interview they had with JK Rowling, they called Harry/Hermione shippers DELUSIONAL!!! I was quite angry about this. JK Rowling also said that Harry/Hermione shippers should read the book over again (well, she didn't exactly say "Harry/Hermione shippers", but she made it clear that's who she meant). I was fuming and also slammed my fist into the computer screen. But I held back. My cousin was both mad and sad, she was reduced to tears! It had a very big affect on us. Meanwhile, my sisters were dancing with joy. Even my mom, who says she doesn't have time to read the books (but she's watched the movies) said she expected Hermione/Ron. Call me delusional or whatever the heck you want, but I will still support Harry/Hermione! :D

I totally agree with you! Yes, the staff of Mugglenet was very rude to call H/Hr shippers delusional! -_- But I don't care, I'll always support H/Hr no matter what!
-
You guys really thought that Harry/Hermione would be together? I don't know... there werent any hints that they'd like each other MORE than just friends... sure, they always had those long conversations about who thought about what... and since book one, Ron and Hermoine have been going at it for awhile (and became friends in the end again), Harry being the... should I say third wheel or middle man? lol. Now don't get me wrong, I had thought Harry/Hermoine might've been together too but R/H seemed more obvious. book three confirmed my suspicion--especially the movie. ^^;;
-
Yes, it is pretty obvious that R/Hr are gonna get together, but I still prefer H/Hr! :)
-
Yeah, H/Hr shippers rule! :P
-
I don't really care one way or the other...at first I thought Harry would be with Hermione, but after books 3 and 4, I changed my mind! I mean come on, especially book 4 - Ron was getting all jealous over Viktor Krum!
-
And it's quite obvious in book 6 that Ron and Hermione are going to be together. I mean come on people, there were loads of hints there! You have to be denser than Sakura to not notice them!
-
I know there are hints, but I still an H/Hr shipper. I don't really like R/Hr
-
hehehe I know that Ron/Hermione is the obivious ship. But I still hoped for H/Hr. I would've prefer to be DELUSIONAL! than know the truth any old day! But I still like Ron more than harry. Harry is a boring character. I like Ron because i have so much in common with him. If I were to look into the Mirror of Erised, I would see the muggle version of what he saw! :hehe: He make me laugh too.
-
:angry: :angry5: :violent1: I hate I hate haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Snape. How could he... how could he kill Dumbledore like that.... like he was a nothing... I cried and cried for hours while reading the last chapters of the book (I get very emotional connected with the characters). Rowling just keeps killing my fav characters.. first sirius and now dumby (oh well not that i didnt know already that one day she was going to kill him some how.... but Snape... and she tried so hard to make us like him :P)

I took a little over an hour reading this entire thread, and I'm reduced to tears now. :cry: My absolute favorite book was book 3 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and I absolutely hated book 5! How could they kill Sirius?! I was crying when that happened, but I was also angry! :angry: I broke a table because I was so angry, but when I read book 6, I was so emotionally distressed, that all I could do was cry. And I'm starting up again.
I loved Dumbledore. He helped Harry right from the beginning, and he had to die. I had to wait 2 weeks to read the book because I put it on hold at the library. As soon as I got it, I wouldn't put it down once. I got the book at 12:00pm and I didn't even sleep because I needed to know what happened. I finished it a little before 6:00am. It was a very good book but I still cry when I'm reminded of the ending. I'm so distressed, I can't say anything more. :cry:

Cedric Diggery cannot come back to life. Voldemort used the Avanda Kadavra on him; the spell to kill. Once used, it cannot be reversed. He's gone, forever. There is no counterspell.

But dumbly isn't dead ha
I read that website a while back in the thread and it has me believing it!
dumbledoreisnotdead.com or something like that

lol Really...? Whoa....xDD Awesome site!! Thx. ^^ lmao. You went over the pairings already Angel-chan? Crap, sorry about that then.

hahaha!!! Harry x Ginny was....random
i was like, what the heck is happening....lol
Ron x Hermionie....that would be an interesting pair..=P
harry x Hermionie.....=P

somehow i always new i could end up this way. Maybe due to all those theories i used to read on mugglenet. one of them was telling how ginny and lily are similar just like harry and james.
I'm not saying that i like the pair though.

I really enjoyed GOF! I wish it was longer though.. no Quidditch game! darn!
Rita Skeeter was very much forgettable. They didn't even got their revenge from this woman!
Cedric's death was very dramatic. I admit I felt I was about to cry when Harry returned to Hogwarts with Cedric's body and all that.
Overall, I think this movie is just as good as POA. I'm glad they didn't made this like SS or COS.
I'll post as more in-depth review in my blog later... ;)

there was no winky, no dobby [it was neville who gave harry the gillyweed], cedric was an idiot, there were no sphinx, spiders, blast-ended screwts in the moving maze, fleur's sister was studying at the beauxbatons, krum gave hermione a "flying kiss", baty crouch jr wasn't fair-headed and harry found barty crouch sr dead in the forest! i know i'm comparing it too much with book four, but still... as a HP fan, i can't help feel disappointed. even the quidditch tournament was cut. *sigh!* draco though at the quidditch tournament looked hot!
i'm probably the only one who supports this pair. Draco x Ginny! whee~! i love weird pairings! :heh:

Long time no see. Good to see that you got a break from your hectic schedule as previously you've been so busy with studies. By the way I thought that the movie was releasing everywhere on 18th. I didn't expect ppl to have already seen it.
I'll watch the movie after 26th as that's when my exams will b over.

thanks all for the sigs comments!
yeah, i also heard that there are many things they took out from the movie.. but nevertheless, im still very excited about it!
-
i like the books and i've read them like 10 times each..or more (weird i know). I love harry potter as well as anime. 4th movie out after tomorrow can't wait!!!!

*covers eyes on book spoilers* Because I haven't read the 5th or 6th book yet. *cry*
Anyways.. who's watched the movie?!?!? I HAVE!! It's awesome! xD HAHA!!!
The beginning and middle were so funny and really good. Near the end, it got all serious and more dark. o__o It was sort of scary. I freaked out during one of the scenes. O__O lolz.
-

I'll put this under a tag since not every has seen the movie.... wahhhhh Ron is an a** at times in the movie ROFL! But it's funny. He's so mad when he sees Hermione with Krum at the ball. ROFL!!
Moody was really cool in the movie. I want his moving eye. HAHA!! It's so cool. And how he 'helps' Harry out. But in the end it was all his evil plot to lead Harry to 'you-know-who' I can't spell his name. ROFL!! The tongue that guy did was freaky. *shivers* lolz. xD
And I think that's all I'll say for now. lolz. I feel like reading the 4th book again! haha. xD
-
*covers eyes on book spoilers* Because I haven't read the 5th or 6th book yet. *cry*
I won't tell you what happens in the 5th and 6th books, but you have to read them! Especially the 6th book! Although I recommend you read them in order.
-
I'm waiting patiently already. -__-" lolz. I only get the paperback covered version of the books. And the 5th book just came out recently and it's pretty expensive. -__-" So I haven't gotten the book yet. lolz. xD
I already know some things that happened in the 5th and 6th book. Like who died. T___T STUPID ME!!!! lolz.
I can't wait until I read them though. xD haha

Can't you borrow them from a library until you can afford them? That's what I did.
-
Well, when I saw first movie...I was very angry and very very disappointed...that's why I didn't want to see other movies.. I like books better than movies.
And sixt book....I was very disappointed about that too.... -___________- I really hope last book (seventh) is better....
-
yeah, i saw the movie today too!
the effects were great!! loved it! but there were also many stuffs not included in the movie.. plus, the pace of the movie (what my bro said) was too fast..
personally, i felt that it was the best among the 4 Harry Potter films.. :keke:
-

I went to the library the last time they were all out. And I don't have a library card. ROFL!! My dad has it. But I don't know lolz.

I agree with you brother! It was too fast. Like everything just happened. lolz. Even though it's been like a few years since I read the 4th book, I remember some things. lolz.
I also felt that this was the best movie too!! HAHA!!
-

Oh, that's too bad. Hopefully you'll get to read them eventually.
-
I didn't like the movie!!! :dodge: And that is sad. :sweatdrop:
Things were going way too fast for me, and they took lots of funny stuff that happened in the book away!!! :angry:
I still prefer the third movie. Dunno why, maybe because it was my favorite book. :heh:
Also, in this movie I notice Hermione way too.......umm....... un-Hermionish
I don't know why, but I think that Emma Watson is not giving me the Hermione essence I was hoping to see in the movie :sad5:
But I hope that the people that already saw it enjoyed it!! :wave: That was just my opinion :XD:

OMG! That was the best movie EVER!!! *rabid fangirl scream* :rotfl:

Hermione kissed Harry! *another rabid fangirl scream*
Aaaaah! I can't wait till it comes out on DVD!!!! :keke:
So...what did all of you guys think of it? :)
-
i watched the movie yesterday and it was great! There is a lot of funny scene. The music is so enchanted.
However, I think it is better to read the book first before watching, because a lot of details are missing in the movie.
-
Gaah, I really loved the movie too! I laughed and cried. I loved the action, the Fred and George loveliness ^___^ and...everything else!! I also can't wait till it comes out on DVD... Thank goodness movies are being released SO much faster than they used to. And I hope there are tons of extra scenes. They really should do more behind the scenes making of the movie type footage on the DVDs, like what they do for the extended editions of Lord of the Rings.
Let's see, the Yule Ball was better than I expected, Voldemort was better than I expected (my sister was a little bothered by his nose, but, hey, that's what it says he has in the book), and there was a great balance of humor and action. Oh, the only thing that bothered me was that Dumbledore was too...violent.
I loved this line: P.S. The bird bites. (hooray, Padfoot!)
-
shouldn't we put spoiler tags for the movie? o_O;
watched GoF today too, it was AWSOME!

But they completely cut out Prof. Trawlney (sp?), and they didn't put in Dobby or Ludo Bagman either. The Yule Ball was amazing.
I didn't like how the movie was so fast-paced though, I wish they didn't skip so many parts. I liked the old Dumbledore actor better. This one didn't act calm and mild at all.
The ferret scene was funny too! Mad-Eye Moody was a little too hyper in the movie though, in my opinion.
The first task was great, the Horntail was so cool! But they stretched that scene, Harry got chased around the school.
The second task was the best in my opinion. It was sort of creepy how the victims were unconscious. Fleur's sister looked like a oversized doll. The merepeople were cool too. I liked how Neville got all horriefied and went "I killed Harry Potter!", then Harry did the flip from the water behind him. Neville was so funny in the movie too! How he was practicing dancing for the Yule Ball was hilarious.
The third task was different from the book, wish they put in the acromantula and the sphinx.
Voldemort looks freaky! The Death Eaters remind me of people from the Ku Klux clan.
overall, the movie was great! I want to buy the soundtrack too! :keke:
-
Ahhh the movie was to DIE for!! I was drooling over Daniel Radcliffe ^^;
I had mixed emotions when I saw Voldemort and the rest of the movie
Show content
First I got mad because he killed Cedric! (He's pretty good looking...)
I screamed when I first saw the ugly baby thing which was Voldemoret.*shudder* so ugly >.<
Then I laughed because he had no nose. After seeing the person who plays him, I laughed harder. :sweatdrop:
I cried a bit when Cedric died, they actually had him put up a bit of a fight instead of dying instantly. It broke my heart when I saw
Cho's face =( They skipped SO MUCH! Grrr!! I wanna see Winky the house elf TToTT
I nearly DIED when I saw Harry in the prefects bathroom. Oh gosh, I'm blushing...
Neville had a bigger part in this move I think...I like him, hes pretty funny ^^ Espeiclly when he practised dancing for the
Yule Ball! So sweet when I saw him and Ginny dancing. The Yule Ball looked really pretty! Like a winter wonderland it was! ^^
-
Ahhh the movie was to DIE for!!
Yes! It was! I hope they'll have alot of extra scenes on the DVD! :keke:

has anyone noticed this??? XD if anyone did, i'd give them a cookie! (^__^)
when harry approached cedric in the yard for the first task, as in to tell him what it was all about, cedric was lying down on the lap of one of his MALE friends!!! (^__^) woohoo!!!

Yes! It was! I hope they'll have alot of extra scenes on the DVD! :keke:

I can't wait!!! HAHA!!

Ahhh! I'm getting so excited!! Must start saving money *serious face* Rahh! :haha:

OMG!! I had the strangest dream. And I remembered it a while ago. lolz. o.O lolz. It was about one of the Harry Potter movies. ROFL!! People were saying that Harry and Hermione were going to be a couple or something (I don't remember that part much) and that in real life, there's something going on between Emma and Daniel. O__O ROFL!! I only remember the last part clearly. xD haha. That would be awesome if that were to happen. hehe. *evil grin* lol

I think this is the BEST HP MOVIE!!! Definitley...
The music was so great, it fitted to each moment and I liked a lot the songs from de Christmas Ball and the one when the Drumstrang school arrives.
Dan, Rupert and Emma were so GOOD!!! They are improving.
Cedric's death was so sad =(, =(... I was crying (sniff, sniff...)
The visual effects improve a lot.
Cho was very beautiful =). I liked when Harry invited her to the ball; a very nice scene.
Well, I thik that's all!!!

Wow! She's very blonde! ^_^
Well, Luna is one of my favorite characters, so I can't wait to see her performance in the next movie! ^^
One scene that my sister and I can't wait to see is of Snape and Sirius arguing in the kitchen of the Black house... X3
Is there any scene that you guys can't wait to see in the next movie? ^_^
-
Luna Lovegood is Irish! Booyah! *dances*
I think she looks a little too...cheerleady for Luna? But we'll just have to see how she turns out!
Hoshi: I can't wait to see the Thestrals! Hopefully they'll do as good a job with them as they did with Buckbeak. I'm gonna run sobbing from the movie theatre at the end though, I know it already! I always overreact to movies.

Oh, if I got teary for the fourth movie, I know for sure that I'll be sobbing during the next movie. I had to put the book down to cry when I first read it. ^^
I also can't wait to see the Department of Mysteries! It sounds so surreal and cool, it'll be so neat to see on screen. ^^
(I hope they keep in Fred (or is it George?) punching Malfoy too. ^.^)
-
The Luna they've chosen is freakin' gorgeous, imho. I'm really hoping she does a good job, as Luna is one of my favorite characters.
I'm looking forward to the D.A. scenes in the next movie. Oh, and the Dementor attack. Those will be incredible.

I always liked Luna too! I haven't seen pictures of her for the movie...and I hope she looks better than the Fleur they got, she wasn't pretty like I thought she was supposed to be...
-
I think they did a good job casting for Luna...she looks exactly how I imagined her to....
I can't wait till OOTP comes out! Im gonna cry at the end soooo much! Sirius...noooo! :cry:
-
I'm usually very happy with all the people they choose for the roles, and that includes Lupin and Sirius. I know a few of my friends didn't like those two actors for the roles, and so they didn't like the third movie among other things, but it turns out the third movie is my favorite. I can't wait to see them act again in the next movie. All the scenes with the Order I'm looking forward to.
I haven't been to Mugglenet in a while... Has a Tonks been chosen? ^^;;
-
Yes, Tonks has been chosen. She's being played by Natalia Tena.
-
Thanks Moonflower! ^^
Wow, they've picked all the actors now, it seems, and the filming is starting next week. I'm behind on my Harry Potter... T_T
-
Yeah, me too. I only heard that Luna's been chosen through my friend!
