see that's what i'm talking about, that's ridiculous. the flashback at the gaunt cabin/house is one of the most visual parts of the book. it needs to be in the movie. AND it shows how evil his mothers side was, which explains a lot more than any of the movies have about voldemort.

i am pretty excited to see what they make greyback like though. i hope they dont let me down on that one.

Good points.

SPOILER ALERT

I'm most excited about the scene at the end with the Inferi....I think that'll be one of the scariest things in the entire series.

I think you can get a quick glimpse of him in the tralier right before it shows Ginny. I assume that that is him.

i hope they dont make greyback cheesy, because in the books he is definitely one of the roughest characters. and about the inferi, if they cut that part out, then they are ridiculous. that leads up to one of the most important parts of the series.

it pretty much comes down to this...

the more they leave out in these next two(three) movies, the worse it's going to be. the stuff they left out in the 1,2,3rd book were mostly okay, because they werent information that was NEEDED. pretty much everything in the last two books is information you need.

King Webbsticles · 08-02-2008, 01:54 PM

I think that is why they are making the 7th one into two movies is because there is pretty much nothing that they can leave out. Pretty much everything leads to another and the story would be incomplete if they take out much of anything.

Totally agree...

I've never read the books, just watched the movies, but I definitely love the movies.

the movies are great. the books are even better though. theres alot of stuff left out in the films

the books are mindblowing. i didnt think i'd like harry potter at all until the girlfriend made me watch the first one last halloween on the disney channel. it was either duckman or cbc that told me the books were awesome. i ended up reading all of them within two months. i couldnt put them down.

I read the Half-Blood Prince in 3 days......All of the books are page turners.

yeah, i don't like the idea of adding in major scenes that weren't in the book either. it's different if it's not a huge scene that has no effect on the overall story. but an ambush on the burrow seems to be more than just a "small scene." besides, the burrow is attacked in the 7th book. having it happen in the 6th takes away from the one in the deathly hallows, if that makes sense......

i completely agree. they should definitely wait and expand the wedding scene a little more in the movie than what the book told, if they're going to do anything with the burrow right now. they need to focus on this being his last year at school, and how his and dumbledores explores come about. the last movie(two) should be the ones they explore battles in. another scene i'm excited about seeing is the harry/malfoy deal.

we need another thread that reads SPOILER in the title so we can talk about all of this junk. i hate having to watch what i type because i dont want to mess it up for anyone...i have a feeling this thread may be around for a while.

I love spoilers.

egotisticalmoron · 08-03-2008, 04:54 PM

sorry to keep talking about it so much, but i cant quit thinking about this nonsense once i see something about it.

when deathly hallows is being made, and comes out...i hope they really think about the importance of the deathly hallows and the story before they decide to cut anything out of that part. the journey in the last book definitely needs to be filmed exactly to the words or people could miss out on a lot. the trip back to harrys homeplace, the three brothers, all of that stuff needs to be covered with great description. the last two books are definitely the most important, and i know i'm getting ahead of myself...but the traveling parts and stories that are told in the deathly hallows are incredible important.

sorry i keep posting, i'll try to tone it down a bit now.

slow down ego.
