Just saw the movie. I'd say it's the best of the series. She really is getting better in her writing with each book and it shows. They still are definitely kids stories (not that there's anything wrong with that) but they have a lot more depth to them now.
Oh yea, I can't believe Snape is bad. He's too easy to dislike to really be bad.
Saw it Saturday afternoon -
Thought it was good, still like Prisoner of Azkaban better -
Was a little disappointed in the fight at the end after all the talk about it - was a "knock your socks off" show down I expected -
Umbridge was great - her part was played perfectly....
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
The more I watch it (I think I've seen it about 8 times now), the more I enjoy... But I also feel like there's plenty missing that should be in there, and it's a bit jumpy (more than GoF). But I still like it...
Maybe I'm over-thinking this, but I don't see how it will be beneficial to the movie series, and to a much lesser extent the book series, to have the last book come out before the last 2 movies. I would think with the last book out and everyone knowing what happens, it would detract from the last two movies... The audience that haven't read the books (like me) are still going to want to go even though we will know the outcome, but what about the Potter faithful???
The Potter faithful will go. They are going to be looking for ANYTHING Potter to grab onto since they don't have any books left to look to.

Did you read The Lord of the Rings before you saw the movies?Originally Posted by Rus-La
No. Why?
Well, I was trying to make the parallel between Harry Potter and TLOR. I believe the Potter faithful will anticipate the last few films as much as TLOR fans did those movies. Besides, look how big of a movie Titanic was and everyone knew how that turned out.:icon_wink:
True...
What'd you think?
Good book. Finished it this afternoon! Had some parts right about the ending, but there were a few surprises! I liked the ending ok.
I bought the book Sunday and read a little when I get a chance. I have a question. What does your cover look like? The reason I ask is because I saw an article online that showed a bunch of the books, and the cover jacket looked different than mine. Now, these books were being sold in another country, so it may be that they have different cover jackets depending on the country. I was just curious as to what yours looked like.
I was just reading an article about Harry Potter. In the article it mentioned an Associate English Proffessor at Kansas State. Ready for this? He actually teaches a course on Harry Potter.There is actually, presumably for credit, a Harry Potter course at Kansas State. Give me a freakin' break. I mean, I love the series, but a college course on it?
Nice! That would be an easy A for me
Well, I've been staying away from this thread and the internet for a few days. I got my copy Friday night and, surprisingly, was the second person out of the store with it! Not that I was camped out, but the line was getting long around 11:15 so I and the person I was there with got in the back, which was actually the front of the store. Then, they decided to turn the line around and we found ourselves at the front!!!
I finished it yesterday (Monday) and thought it was good. A LOT of people dying throughout the book on both sides. Some favorites and some others. I really didn't think they were all necessary to the story. It answers most questions from previous books and has a nice epilogue which COULD be turned into another series if she finds herself short on cash or just needing something to do.

Thanks, Chris. Now I don't have to worry about certain people dying.
