Talk about the books, moives, and merchandise here! ..Instead of getting off topic in the Shrek 2 thread

**Barkworm** · 05-20-2004, 12:24 PM

I enjoyed neither the first nor the second movie but I love all the books. I got into them rather lately (shortly before "Goblet of Fire" was releaed) and love every one of them. I can't wait for for book six ("Revolt of the Mudblood"?).

**Jo Dawn** · 05-20-2004, 12:30 PM

Me too, barkworm! Well, I did enjoy the movies, although the books will always be my favorite. They just are forced to leave so much out of the movies because of time or ratings or whatever. I had the second book before I even had the first, but didn't read it until I saw the first movie. Then I understood it more, lol. Now love them all! My friend and I had to share the fifth book when it came out, because we were on vacation and our books were at home. We read the book, one after another, in less than a day!

I, also, can't wait for the next book. It's gonna be awesome!

*Hannah* · 05-20-2004, 12:34 PM

I liek the movies, bvut each one gets worse than the previous, as I said before. The books- my mom had the first four, and I Just read them... all in one day.

I bought the fifth book along with a HP5 hat and read it in a day.. XD
I then became the unofficail leader of the HP club at school because no one else payed attention to it. I made the website, too.

SPOILER

JK Rowling has already announced that someone will change houses in HP6

Any guesses?

*Voltron* · 05-20-2004, 12:40 PM

Never read the books, though I still do one killer Cockney impression of Potter.

"Ort! Doomblor, thar's a krimput in me ear I say!"

"Rohn, dihju pee in me tea, again I ask I say?

How can you say that when there are only 2 movies to judge?

The looks horrible from the previews I've seen. Draco looks like bullsh*t, Hermione is wearing Muggles clothes, and the new Dumbledore sounds nothing like the previous.

**Jo Dawn** · 05-20-2004, 01:01 PM

Well... it's kinda hard to replace Richard Harris... I thought they did rather well, considering the circumstances.

I wasn't too thrilled with all the Mugle clothing, either... But, *sigh* what're you gonna do? At least it's Harry Potter, and it's going on the big screen.

I still think it's gonna be awesome.

**Barkworm** · 05-20-2004, 01:02 PM

Actually I think Draco looks pretty cool.

He doesnt look too much like described in the book.

*damnhooligan* · 05-20-2004, 01:43 PM

I think Prisoner of Azkaban will be one of the best HP movies yet. Alfonso Cuarón directed the film, not Chris Columbus who focuses a lot on family/kids films (most of which I think are sh*te). Cuarón has an interesting approaching to directing, and I have no doubt he'll surpass anything Columbus has ever done.

Only thing I'm pissy about is the modern Muggle clothes the kids run around in. PoA takes place in 1993-1994, damnit.

I'm closet Potter dork. Damn you, Rickman!

host_punktmy · 05-20-2004, 01:46 PM

i got the first book as a birthdaty present and started reading it but it bored me. I was always more interested in books like SCi fi related like star wars. The movies well i saw the first one and it wasn't horrible but it wasn't exactly picture of the year material

**Kali** · 05-20-2004, 02:09 PM

I'm not quite sure how the books got into our house, but they somehow all ended up in my possession. Reminds me, I should make them next on my reading list. Still waiting for the fifth book to be released in paperback. (Yeah, I'm so cheap.

)
