Anyone else see the First Look that HBO has been running lately? About 15 minutes with quite a bit of stuff in it - they give away more than I thought they would.

Yes I did....I was like anything else you want to tell us???

I'm so curious about where they are going to cut Deathly Hallows to make two movies.

I'm guessing the last scene of the first movie will have to be everyone at Hogwarts when they decide to fight Voldemort. It's almost the end of the book, but the end is SO dense...

Thoughts?

Personally, I think they'll cut it after the escape from Malfoy Manor. They'll leave you hanging with what harry is planning.

Just a bump, and to say . . .


ONE MORE WEEK!!! Wooooo hooooo!!!

 

[CoP Luv]

I am SO excited for this movie! I didn't reread this book on purpose so it wouldn't ruin as much of it for me. I did the same with the 5th movie and liked it much more than the 4th!

Do you think they might cut the 7th movie right after the Christmas part? (I don't want to give anything away if someone hasn't read it).

I was bummed last November when they pushed it back to this summer...now just 7 days to go

The previews have looked awesome!

 

[Terry36]

I am getting very hyped....

I'm obviously in the minority, but I loved OOTP (the movie)!! I know they cut a TON of stuff and changed a bunch, too, but I guess I just love seeing the characters come to life. I'm excited to watch the Harry Potter weekend on ABC Family this weekend, too! Especially since they show extended versions of the first 2 that you can't see or buy anywhere else. I don't know what it is, but these are some of the only books that I can read (and movies that I can watch) over and over.

The London premier was last night. Mugglenet.com has a lot of coverage, including links to some reviews by English newspapers, etc.

I think I will go to the midnite showing this year...DD will not be with me so it will be easier for me to get out.

Did you get your tickets yet? I went online last night to buy tickets and the first three showings, 12:01, 12:02, and 12:03 were sold out! Luckily the 12:04 showing, the last showing, had tickets available. Maybe it won't be as crazy where you are, but I just wanted to give a heads up.

Uhm you scared me into action....I just purchased my ticket for the 12:01 showing. Thanks

Now how early should I get there to be sure I don't sit at the bottom??? :

I've watched these movies (especially the first 2) probably nearly as many times as the early Trek movies....

I am SOOoooo excited about this! However, I've promised my mom that I'd wait to see it with her, and she isn't coming to visit me until the 24th. I'll have to wait till then and it kills!

Girl I know i could not hold out that long....I would go again and act like you haven't seen it.

 

[Terry36]

I'M SO EXCITED!

We already went to Hot Topic and bought our movie t-shirts for the premiere!

Which tshirt did you get? http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Li...se/Movies/Harry-Potter-Cast-TShirt-273949.jsp

I like this one: http://www.wbshop.com/Harry-Potter-...+s-Fitted-T-Shirt/HPGTPOTWTXL,default,pd.html

I COMPLETELY ditto that! Or even better, see it in regular and then when she gets to you, go see it in IMAX. That way, it really *will* be your first time seeing it... In that format!

As for the Hot Topic merch, I'm so getting the Gryffindor Hooded Cardigan (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Li...-Potter-Gryffindor-Hooded-Cardigan-205599.jsp),
and the Stripey Gryffindor tee (http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/Li...otter-Gryffindor-Striped-VNeck-Tee-242080.jsp)

Too bad there's only *one* piece of Ravenclaw merchandise, and I'm not particularly fond of it... even if I consider Ravenclaw to be "my" House. But I knitted myself a pair of Dark Mark arm warmers, and bought my Hogwarts style skirt at Whimsic Alley last week, so I'm set.

By the by, is anyone else going to Azkatraz?

 

[Terry36]

ONLY 5 days left.........

 

[DarthKTrava]

Azkatraz?

wow - i just came to post about the movie next week and found this thread.

i've been listening to the audio book (twice now) getting ready for the movie next out.

i hope HOPE they don't cut out as much as they did with Order.

i was so disappointed with how much they cut out - the longest book to date became the shortest movie - shocking.

i'm not even sure why they put creacher in at all. the amount he was in felt forced

i can't wait 1 more week to see it
