What?! Blasphemy! Explain yourself!
i have to agree twas AWFUL. it was so choppy and they cut out way too many things..... i guess all i can say in favor of the movie is that if you werent thinking about the book while watching it it was ok. ;Pim SO SO SO excited for the seventh ones though, look at this pic i found, its on Tottingham Court Road (thats what it is right?) Harry kinda looks drunk but... oh well.:D

I agree about the movie. I thought that Tay was talking about the book, though, since this topic is for books.I can't wait for the movie!
I love the HBP movie - it's my favorite followed by PoA and OotP! The others aren't that good, in my opinion. I don't have a problem seperating the films from the books - they're two different forms, though the film should stay faithful to the magical atmosphere of the book. I do understand why book purists might not like the films, but I'm not one them. Of course, none of the films will ever be as great as the books.
"Book purists"...you make it sound like a religion. Or maybe it just seems like that to me because we've been talking about the Puritans for the last two months in history and English and for summer reading. XDI just hope that, someday, a set of movies will be made that go exactly from the books, although that won't be for a while. It's like with Pride and Prejudice, how some adaptations are 6 hours long and close to the book, and some are just 2 hours, and really change. But, I'm not expecting that for Harry Potter any time soon.
Yeah; book purists might seem like that because of the Puritans. :) I never thought about it - I guess I've just gotten used to seeing it referred to like that on other sites. I personally, would never want a movie that followed a book exactly, but I rarely watch movies, so that might just be me.
I know what you mean about slang used on other sites. On one of the Hunger Games groups I go on, no one knew what "shipping" was. It was really annoying, especially since I don't like saying "teams", since that sounds like you're for one person and against the other, which I'm not. And then in the musicals group I go on, I'm so used to using the phrases from the musicals forum I go on, and I always forget which abbreviations are only known on that site. :PI watch movies all the time! Subtitled and dubbed movies are very helpful in learning a language. And I like it when there are multiple adaptations of a book (one of my favorite things about classics, yay for public domain!), since you can see all the different ways that people want to show the story in the books. Some are going to want to stay very close to the spirit and the letter of the book, some just stay close to the spirit of the book, and some don't stay close to either.
And it's always fun to rant over every little detail changed.
that was DEFINITELY the best line, also when he started imitating the pincers.... aahhh priceless. my order is pretty much the same as urs!:
books:
1. Prisoner of Azkaban
2. Deathly Hallows
3. Sorcerer's Stone
4. Half-Blood Prince
5. Goblet of Fire
6. Chamber of Secrets
7. Order of the Phoenix
and i agree completely with your order of the movies!
I agree about the "After the Burial" scene in the movie. Dan is great there, but my favorite scene is Ron under the influence of the love potion.My order of books:
1. DH
2. OotP
3. GoF
4. HBP
5. CoS
6. SS
7. PoA
Movies:
1. HBP
2. PoA
3. OotP
4. SS
5. CoS
6. GoF (I know I said I don't mind movies deviating from the books as long as they have the same "spirit," but I think the pacing of GoF is horrible and the film doesn't do justice to some of the characters, especially Dumbledore.)
Ii actually liked the PoA. I don't really like GoF. And I don't like the movie too.Books:
1. DH
2. HBP
3. OoTP
4. PoA
5. SS
6. CoS
7. GoF
Movies:
1. PoA
2. OoTP
3. SS (harry is soo cute!)
4. CoS
5. GoF
6. HBP
My Favorite HP Character is...LUNA LOVEGOOD!!!!
what's yours?!?!?!?!
One of my favorite usernames is "looney-lovegood". :D I use it on two of the forums I go to.
it's funny because i didnt really like the 5th HP movie, but at the same time, i do like it because it's the first time we see luna!

I don't have a problem seperating the films from the books - they're two different form..."the best HP MOVIES (in relatrion of closeness to the book) are SS and CS. my fav movie out of all current six movies, is probably HBP. OOTP wasn't very good. umbridge could have been cast better
i think they tried to make umbridge too funny, and they failed to capture her creepiness. idk but when i read the book, i found her to be a much, much more villainous character than the one in the movie. but they cast luna well (REALLY WELL!) so whatever!
Really? I think Imelda Staunton as Umbridge in OotP is absolutely perfect!! She's really the reason I like the movie so much. I suppose she could have looked more like a toad, but it didn't really bother me at all. I love her voice and I think they filmmakers did a great job of showing her evil in pink.
i think evanna lynch was the best cast of all
Imelda acted exactly how I imagined Umbridge did, although she didn't look much like my mental Umbridge. I felt similarly about Evanna, although her acting was a bit different than how I imagined Luna.
Yeah - Evanna seemed to be the perfect Luna to me - in appearance and manner.
did anybody watch the HARRY POTTER marathon thing on ABC Family? i think it was on this last weekend...
my favorite character was sirius! :) i hated his death in the fifth one it was so sad!!! altho the 5th is like my favorite. i like the 7th too.
yeah... i haven't seen the 7th though, so I can't decide...
******SPOILERS******** my favorite characters are:
Lupin,. Snape
*(%#)(%)(*%&)(#@*%$()#SPOILERS START:*#&%*)#&%Q*
unfortunatley they both died :(
XD yeah, unfortunately.. i used to hate snape..
i always knew he was SPOILER
a good guy :))
snape is awesome. Alan Rickman is awesome. They are made for each other.
Every time i hear Alan Rickmans voice i think: "OMG! SNAPE IS MAKING A GUEST APPEARANCE IN THIS MOV- oh, never mind."
yeah, I'll recognize him immediately in every movie because of his voice..

Ha ha, same here.
Yeah. Ever seen Sense and Sensibility? I love that movie, but it throws me off to hear Snape as Colonel Brandon...
it's cause we're so used to seeing him as snape! he's played the role for a really long time!but i LOVED him as the sheriff of nottingham in robin hood...have you seen that?
I haven't...should I?Yeah, and Snape was the first thing I saw him as. And I saw #1 before I read it, so he'll always be Snape in my mind...
i would recommend it :D 
it looks like this!
he's a great actor! have yous seen him in the movie about blue babies (i forgot the title)

Rowling, and then she decided to try out and she got casted!! how awesome is that?
wow. it is awesome. But yes, Evanna is the perfect Lovegood.
Perfect acting,appearance,voice actions.

and she's not an actress :P that makes her performance seem more genuine, imo. she's not just in it for the money or the fame or whatever...
