How many of you are looking forward to this movie?
I am, ever since the book came out! I hope to collect every last one of these on DVD one day... And the books as well. I've even considered adding a HP page to my website! Who here even likes Harry Potter? That's what I should ask... |

I love the books, however I can't stand the movies. Each person views the books in their own way, and the movies often break that fantasy for them.
"It happened differently in the book..." Also, I can't stand editing and deletion of parts of the story, I am one of those crazy people who expect a 7 hour movie just so everything is right. So I stopped watching the movies. 
In any case, it's the final book I am waiting for, and so is a lot of the harry potter fan populace. ____________________  |

I'll end up watching this movie, out of a fanbase our family has made 
I've read, reread, and rereread every book  So I need to see the movies.
As long as they don't screw it up as badly as 20th Century Fox did with Eragon  ____________________ D: Can't think of anything original.... |

I love the Books and the movies. I treat the movies as sort of an add on to the books, and I feel they more or less do them justice. Sure they cut stuff out and change things, but all movies based on books are adaptations. Certain things that work great on paper can never be fully capatured, or even fall apart on screen. And some things that are awesome on screen, can never be captured in words. I followed that belief with Lord of the Rings. I love the movies and books equally. As long as the movies are still true to the overall story, the movie turns out to be kickass on its own, and they actually do try their best to do the book justice and care about the story, I have no problem with movies getting creative with the books. I figure, hey I already know this fantastic story and I love it. By seeing this movie, I get to see more of it.
Unfortunately Eragon didn't do any of those things I swear that was just like they went "Quick, it's December! We need a fantasy movie to make money off of! Lets read the sparknotes of something similar to the others that have made money, stick in a bunch of generic hot hollywood guys (which I think are ugly as hell), market it toward teens, stick in an Avril Lavigne song to go along with that marketing and hope it works."  I hadn't even read Eragon at the time, and I could still tell they butchered the story completely. I started reading the books just because I knew they had to be better, and I know the movie could have actually been good if they just cared.
But anyway, actually, if it weren't for the POA movie, I wouldn't be into Harry Potter at all. I saw a trailer for it when it first came out and thought it looked good. But then I figured, if I'm going to see movie 3, I may as well see the other two first. Saw the first two, saw the 3rd, thought the 3rd was best, then got curious as to what the rest of the story was so I read all the books. From that experience, I guess with Harry Potter it is probably best to see the movies first. That way you don't know whats being cut out and you're better able to appreciate the movie for what it is. And I found that reading the books afterward made reading the books more enjoyable for me, as well as the films. Of course, though I do find them more enjoyable that way, I'll be damned if I'm going to wait until the Deathly Hallows movie comes out before I read the book! Order of the Phoenix is my favorite book, and it seems like the Harry Potter movies improve greatly with each one that comes out, so so far this thing looks spectacular and I can't wait. I'm almost looking more forward to this movie than the release of book seven. But mainly just because I thought book 6 was sort of a letdown. To me it felt almost fanfictiony, like everything was too predictable. The only thing that really shocked me was that Slughorn ended up being the new potions teacher instead of the new defense against the dark arts teacher. But I'm counting on book 7 to change my opinion of it. And I really want book 7 to be the best book. Either way though I'm going to be very happy when July gets here.  |
