View Full Version : Harry Potter: HBP
Since Hobbes and I are spamming the 2008 Summer Movie thread, I thought I'd make this. You can discuss the title topic or past movies.

Wooot! Quidditch is back! The last time I clicked on the link, my computer shut down for some reason. Anyways, I finally get to see Ron as goalie. I mean keeper... Anyways, do you think that they'll take things from quidditch in the fifth movie and put them into the sixth? Like "Weasly is our king", and Luna's giant lion hat? (That was in the fifth, right? My memory's not that good, as I haven't read the 5th book in a while.)
Yeah... and maybe. Or they may cut and chop the book more. T_T

Ah yes. They've forgotten to put in so many things that they have to alter the book more and more every movie. I wonder how different the seventh will be when it comes out.
Well, if I know Hollywood: no one will die and at the end, it'll all be a dream or alternative reality. x_x

That would make it... Rather boring. I really hope they don't screw up these following movies too bad though. I don't see why people still go to see them if everyone knows that they're going to screw up.
I think it's for the actors.

Huzzah!
Unfortunately, I will probably become hypocritical against what I just said before and just go and watch the sixth movie as soon as it comes out.
As will I. Well, not the midnight first showing. x.x I did that for the fourth movie and it was horrible. So... many.. peoples... Can't *gasp* breath... *dies*

Lol, I'd never go for the midnight showing. This year, I'll probably have to wait for the briarwood dollar movie theatere though.
How sad. =/ Dollar theater are no fun.

Actually, they're not bad. Only for 1 dollar you get to watch a movie that came out three months ago. I saw 21 there today... I'm getting off topic.
Anyways, what do you think that they'll take out of the sixth, but you really don't want them to?
Actually, thanks to the horrible 5th movie, I've yet to read the sixth. I really need to, just to "stalk" Snapie-kins when he's not looking. >:3

You haven't read the sixth? You should. It's one of the best ones. Well, I think at least.
Yeah. I'm feeling guilty now. I totally skipped the first chapter with the minister talk. *yaaaawn* I flipped to Snape's house.

06-21-2008, 10:13 AM
Lol, I did that too. don't worry, there's nothing of importance in there other then fudge getting sacked. I pretty much skipped Snape's house too, unfortunately, but I read both of them when I finished the book.
Fudge getting sacked = boring
Fudge in the sack = slightly amusing, lol!!
Grrs, I need to find my book. Tis lost. T_T

not a bad choice for Slughorn. I am excited to see this but I am sure they will mess it up with all the details and important scenes.
You know they will. On Snape's Worst Memory, they have James simply torturing him, when it was really calling Lily a Mudblood and losing her forever.

OMG don't get my started on that, the Snape memory scene in book five was one of my favorites but they KILLED it. Harry was supposed to see it by accidentally falling into the pensive, but they made him see it from one of his failures to perform occlemency(sp?) instead. And it was like a two second shot too.
I also am sad that they cut out the other memory of the Merauders as school boys taking their O.W.Ls. Lupin cracked me up answering the werewolf question.
Then they cut out vital scenes such as Harry's interview with Rita Skeeter which makes Shamus apologizing for not believing Harry make no sense. I could go on....:P
I know... But the book was a little on the long side. They should have made the movie like 3-4 hours long, like Lord of the Rings. I wanted to see Ron play Quidditch... and Malfoy get whomped. >:3

Yeah they could have made it longer, totally.
I actually hear that they are planning to split Deathly Hallows into two movies since there is so much that can't be left out for its importance.
Oh! NOW they add the important stuff... They had better make HBP the best darn movie of the seven... Snape is my favorite character. Did you know in Order of the Phoenix Snape had a total of five minutes on screen!? I'm about ready to hex some movie-making Muggles!

Dang,that's stupid. Like in the first movie where they casted an actor for Peeves, shot all the scenes and then in the end the entire character was cut. So he did all that work for ZERO screentime!
And yeah the last one is my favorite of the books along with the third. So they had better do it well.
o_o Seriously? Was the Peeves scenes in the Deleted Scenes? I'd be mad too. He's slightly important. And think of all the Peeves fan clubs. :D

No hes not even in the deleted scenes which really sucks. I like him he's hilarious. :)
Man. If I were him, I'd sue. That's like false advertising.
Afterlife9798
07-22-2008, 05:31 PM
I would too. I hope he still got paid.
My best friend and I were also ticked about the third movie because they got a new director who didn't make them wear their robes, but rather wanted to dress them to fit their personalities. They are supposed to wear their robes. :P
I know... It was a little annoying. Not they have Hermione like a little fashion model. She even freaked in the movie like one "Is that what my hair looks like from the back?"
Afterlife9798
07-22-2008, 11:32 PM
Yeah that's true. When they went back in time with the time turner and they watched themselves leave Hagrid's hut she had the unnecessary line: "Is that really what my hair looks like from the back." I mean why was that written in?
So the past Hermione would look back and the two times would be connected somehow. I mean with the rocks warning them to run and the other stuff... It's a little stupid, IMO.
Afterlife9798
07-23-2008, 12:43 AM
Yeah I also found it confusing because before they show the two going back in time,they hint to it happening Example: the rocks as you mentioned and the wolf howling that distracted Lupin from Mauling Harry. So if they were there all along, then what happened to Buckbeak the first time? Because Hermione saying "I thought I saw...nevermind" indicates the future selves being there the first time as well yet it is implied that Buckbeak still suffered his death sentence.
^_^;; Confusing...
They saved Buckbeak. When they thought they saw him die, they just saw the executioner give a mad chop. He wanted to kill someone.

Right but the first time it was implied that he had died the first time by Dumbledor's warning "If you succeed tonight more than one innocent life can be spared".
Yay!!! There's a teaser trailer out! :D

... I call Dumbledore!
>:B I want to be Wormtail. Bwhaha.
I read in a magazine that HBP is suppose to be the funnies movie of the seven... I mean, other than the killing Dumbledore part, of course.

[funny moment]Draco: I can't do it! You're too old!
Dumbledore: Ahhh but you must young one, for if you don't I shall kill you.
Snape: Do it now Draco! Or I shall grab your wand and kill you!
Draco: You can't kill me Dumbledore, because, I am your father!
Dumbledore: What the ****
Snape: Wait, I thought you were my father Dumbledore...
*Akward moment*
Harry: Nooooo! Dumbledore is dead!
Dumbledore: Wait kid-
HArry: Waahhhh!
Dumbledore: *Kicks harry* Shut up![/funny moment]
I see it now!
