Who's all seen the new Harry Potter Film? And what were everyones thoughts? I've now seen it twice and talked my friends to death about it .

I really enjoyed the film the second time around (the first I wasn't so convinced) but I must admit that Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman and Helen McCrory stole the show in every scene they were in. My favourite Scenes had to be:

Professor Mcgonagall's "I've always wanted to do that spell" line, and Molly's side glance as if to say "are you crazy?" It made me laugh and definitely lightened the tone.

Next to that had to be when the Malfoys left the battle. It was just so well done and in keeping with their characters.

I'm not much of a Potter-fan, really, more of by-extension fan, but I very much enjoyed the movie. And I agree with the actors that just kind of owned it, despite getting very little screen time.

I do wish they'd kept that one memory regarding why Snape and Lily had a falling out, though. My friend who has never read the books wound up thinking Harry was their love-child for some odd reason. And I miss having Dumbledore's backstory, although I guess that wasn't necessary either.

I haven't seen it and I'm not sure I want to see Snape dying

heh. I kept thinking before I saw the movie "If I don't go he won't have to die!"

Yeah, I'm thinking on the same lines!

I really enjoyed the movie. Glad I skipped out on Part 1, though; read the book so already knew how boring that was going to be to watch.

My eleven year old sister watched it today and she liked it a lot.





Hee! If it wasn't obvious, I just teased you all for being immature!

[Marie]

But by teasing us you are making yourself immature too.

Yeah, well, but there is Teasing immature and Harry Potter Movie immature. There is a chain for these kinds of things. Maybe you could tease Kitt in turn for her BSG love? I don't know who she'd tease though. BSG is so low that it's hard to think of anything lower.

Excuse me, but there is nothing immature about liking Harry Potter, or about having a Snape doll figurine with a kesiera around his neck.

I guess maybe not.... But if you were immature for having a Moiraine pimped Snape dollie, then you shouldn't be ashamed It's ok if you grumble when I tease you though!

[Ekho]

Harry Potter is not immature! Theres all sorts of deep and mature themes in the books...or so I've been told

[Whitty]

Harry Potter is for young and old...mature and immature....I think Niklas just doesn't want to admit he CRIED during the movie....

and I rather liked it. I made sure not to read the book again so i wouldn't compare it and hinder my liking it. i know they had to have left out a lot and changes a few things, like the memories they did put in acutally bugged me, but all n all, i thought it was pretty good. Its sad to see the end of this "era" come to its enevitable close... *sigh*

[Vertex]

I admit that too, just because you said I doesn't wanna...but I haven't actually seen the movie

[Whitty]

lol whatever...you know you've seen it at least twice
