Awesome ! I needed some good HP news to distract me from the hatchet job Cuaron did on the 3rd movie

 

[TerriP]

What a fun website that is! I got lost just looking around in there. Thanks for sharing that link!

 

[auntpolly]

Thanks so much for sharing the info -- the website is very cool. But I am so stupid -- where did you find the news about the title?

I wonder if Emma Thompson will be in the next movie. Wasn't she great?

[PRINCESS VIJA]

[PRINCESS VIJA]

Is Cuaron doing the next movie too?

I'm glad someone else wasn't exactly pleased with the movie. I didn't like it nearly as well as the first two. Although my biggest complaint is that they left so much out of it, which as we go along here will have to become the norm, as her books get longer.

Thanks for the info! I can't wait!!

Now who do you think is the HBP?

I'm thinking its Neville!

 

[auntpolly]

Neville! Good thinking! That would be so great!

 

[PRINCESS VIJA]

I think Neville too. She mentioned crucial info better suited for book 6... Maybe he will come into his own in book 6.

You mean I'm not the only one who felt like I was watching the cliff notes of the story?

No, thank goodness. The new director is the guy that did "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and "Mona Lisa Smile", both of which were at least tolerable (I didn't care much for the former, really liked the latter). Goblet of Fire is my favorite of the books, so if it gets hacked up as badly as Prisoner of Azkhaban did, I'm gonna really be upset.

Yeah, I was really disappointed in PoA. There were just SO many important points that didn't get covered. They barely even touched on the friendship between Harry's dad, Sirius, and Moony...didn't explain at ALL abouth "Padfoot, Wormtail, Moony, and Prongs"...which was fine because they barely even showed Harry's patronus as being a stag, anyway....They hardly touched on the fight between Ron and Hermione, so when she "demanded" an apology when they found Scabbers it was like, "Um...what is he supposed to be apologizing for ?"...

I KNOW that it's hard to turn a long book into a 3-hour-or-less movie, and some things have to be cut. But Chris Columbus managed to make the first two movies without making cuts that resulted in major changes to the storyline, so I don't know why it was so difficult for Cuaron to do the same. If they do that to Goblet of Fire, I doubt very seriously I'll give it another chance...
