Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

[hopeprince]

personally i saw Phoenix as the best one by a long chalk (great wizard battle YEY FANTASTIC TO WATCH and harry having balls for the first time ), and Afghanistan as the worst by a long chalk (a rubbish nobrain middle-east hating title, and hermiones got a time machine but she never thinks to use it to solve every voldermort problem they get , FACEPALM MULTIPUS PLOTTUS ), so theres room for difference in opinion, true, however I am convinced this last one is going to be great.....i saw the trailer yesterday and it looked AMAZING.


'lets die together!!' that look on harrys face when he says that in the trailer FLLIPPPP! cant wait!

Your comments related to harry potter are hilarious

lol.personally i see the potter series as just the start, there are plenty of stories still to tell about wizards later in life - in fact the vast majority lies ahead, and in more adult orientated plots in the same way that the hobbit moved on to the Lord of the Rings. Cant wait for the Further adventures of Luna Lovegood!

But I mirror the first 3 books/films to the Hobbit, and the last 4 films to The Lord of The Rings. There is a disctinct growth in maturity running through these books/films. Philosopher's Stone was a kiddies book through and through. Deathly Hallows read like a factual account of World War 2, with Nazi occupation, torture, inquisitions, freedom fighters, bloodied combat, plenty of deaths of loved characters, an evil dictator who orders "cleansing" of the occupied nations who is not even "pure" himself. Rowling literally tried to describe the horrors of WW2 on a wizard canvas. Not the subject matter I expect from a children's book!

So you going to the midnight release screening tonight, dressed up as Hermione, your favourite actress

Luna rocks, and what perfect casting.

I do like the difference, butI prefer to have something exciting for Harry to do in the future, rather than plateauing at age 18.

you see, Glassy, you get that dimension from reading the books, but I've only seen the films (apart from a brief attempt at Philosophers Stone).

Mind you theres benefits from not reading the books too, it allows me to interpret events and characters my own way (as the films, lacking detail, allow you to do so). Example - my own interpretation of Voldermort is that he was a former powerful Hogwarts teacher who turned kiddie fiddler, which explains his interest in Potter more profoundly than the prophecy which tbh comes across as convoluted crap in the movie. 'Pedo-voldermort' makes more sense to me than him being the baddest man on the planet, becos hes pretty inadequate master villain if we are being honest. I want to see Harry move onto bigger smarter foes in the future.

LOL. I have decided to delay it (not the Hermione costume, I mean the movie). The series is too rich to end right now.

You sure you haven't read the books?

no not at all! Have I said something funny? Voldermort does have the manner of one of those tv kiddy fiddler villains. He's all slimey and bent. You have to agree it makes more sense than the contrived prophecy plot.

[canadian_turtle]

I was being sarcastic Unfortunately your theory is not exactly how it happened

[Beate]

I have lost the plot here long ago.

LOL, I would love to see how this would be marketed as a family film if Voldemort was made into a "kiddie fiddler".
