I'm assuming el_boss has never read the books. My bro didn't like the movie for the same reason. Although I do admit to the plot being a little too black and white, the whole series is fucking awesome. And NOT because of the movies.
This is pretty much my take on the movie.I can acknowledge that they left a shitload of stuff out of the book. I can also acknowledge that a few key plot points were changed. But still, the movie worked, and worked damned well.

maybe im too much a hardcore fan of the books
I am too - I still appreciated this movie for what it is though. It will be better when we can watch all 7 movies in a row. It had a bit of an episode feel to it, slightly.Originally posted by: darkmetal505

Another thing I noticed - the movie didn't really explain clearly why Neville was so torn up about seeing the curse. In Dumbledore's memory they mentioned the curse being used on Neville's parents very briefly but the books went into it a lot more, about how they went mad, etc.
Btw, Neville is so tall and thin now. He's no longer the little fat kid, but he's still bucktoothed unfortunately.

they all grow so fast.
Apparently that might be a problem...
By the time the 7th movie comes out, they might all be too old to play their respective parts, and there has been talk of replacing the current trio by then. They've all been confirmed for the 5th movie, but past that, even the actors themselves have doubts. Dan isn't sure, and Emma wants to start college. I hope they stay throughout the 7 movies, as it would ruin the continuity otherwise.
If they're replaced, I will be sad to see Emma Watson go...
Also, I completely forgot about Neville's parents. Thanks for the reminder Raven.

they'll be 20ish which will sort've be what they are in the book(I think Harry will be 17)
R.I.P Captain America.
It would be great if they replaced them. They were ok child-actors, but they just don't cut it as "grown-ups". Think how much easier everything would have been if it was animated instead, well I guess 90% of the movies are animated already.
not emma! stay emma! knives, they're all supposed to be 18 i think (remember harry turned "age" whichi s 17 in book 6) so 18-20 isnt that far off.
In the 4th movie isnt Harry supposed to be like 14?
hmm Teh XYZ your not right with your calculation, harry explained in book 6 that he had a late birthday, which is why he couldnt take the apparation test. which means he would turn 17 in july of book 7. or of book 6 but the book ends before that. aznimperialx yeah harry is supposed to be 14.
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

I find it pretty easy to remember their ages (Well, Harry's at least) because the second digit is the same as the book number. (Book1 = 11, Book2 = 12 etc)
And I dont think the actors will all be too old, the movies have been coming out once a year, and if I remember the stuff I read when the first movie came out. Daniel = Same age as Harry. Rupert = 1 Year older. Emma = 1 year younger, so it should all work out.
Er, the movies have been coming out once a year? You might wanna check that.

I don't really find the Harry Potter series very good, but I had seen the first three movies, so I decided to read the 6 books that are out. Once finished, Movie 4, The Goblet of Fire came out a week later. IT SUCKED. It only made sense because I had read the book. But the movie itself doesn't even fit together.
I found that all the movies were horrible compare to the books, but I still go see them just for fun.
I think the books suck as well. But meh. I need something to do with my lack of a social-life.
The latter movies sucked because they tried to rush through it. I heard the Order of the Pheonix is going to be 2 movies.
Yeah I agree, the 4th one wasn't as good as the first two. Will this be the last movie? I heard some of the actors don't want to do it anymore.
I thought the 4th was the best one. the first two felt like scooby doo movies, and if I wanted to see that I would've watched a scooby doo movie.
and there's suppose to be seven in all. and I haven't heard anything about the actors not wanting to do it anymore.
R.I.P Captain America.
Yeah, last I heard they were going to make 7 movies...
If someone doesn't want to do it anymore, I would guess it would be some of the older actors, I can't imagine any of the young ones complaining since this is pretty much the biggest movies they'll ever do.
