Harry Potter at Midnight

[BabyPiglet]

Just came in quick (I don't want any movie spoilers) to say that I'm going to see it tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait!

.... anyone pay attention to the sound track?

Oh yes! The score was beautiful!

Yes, I loved the soundtrack.

Me too! It's my favorite of the 6 (and I have all 6 soundtracks). The music in HP 6 was just so moving. My favorite tracks are Harry and Hermione, The Friends, Malfoy's Mission, and Dumbledore's Farewell.

Just came in quick (I don't want any movie spoilers) to say that I'm going to see it tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait!

Have fun!

 

[BabyPiglet]

Okay, so my mind is about to burst with all of my comments, but first I will say BEST ONE YET. The actors, I believe, have FINALLY gotten over that awkward teenager phase and have become good actors again. I thought it was all very sincere.

1. WHYYYYY must they completely make stuff up!? JK Rowling must've been mortified that they portrayed Harry as being homeless and trying to pick up waitresses. That is so NOT Harry Potter!

2. The Burrow burnt down? Now, tell me if I'm mistaken, but that didn't happen in the book. The wedding and SO MUCH stuff happens at the burrow in the 7th book! Not to mention they didn't even show Billand Fleur's romance!

3. Voldemort's orphanage looked like that hall that was in Harry's dream in the OOTP. You know, the one at the ministry of magic? How much do you want to bet they re-used that set?

4. I wish they had showed the prime minister/minister of magic scene. I just liked that one in the book.

5. I think they pulled off Harry/Ginny and Hermione/Ron beautifullly. Lavendar was a littleeee over the top though.

6. Lol at Horace. Funny actor.

7. Lmfao at how Harry reacted to the liquid luck! I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard.

8. I liked that they kept it kind of...light until the end. DH is so dark, and there was very little humor in the 5th movie.

9. Why no Dumbledore funeral? I understand why they didn't show the fight (because that also happens in DH, and it wouldn't been a tad repetitive for the average viewer). I really really wish they had showed that.

10. They are growing up quite nicely, I must say. Draco was looking quite shmexy.

11. Harry had tiny, girl hands.

That is all. I liked it a lot; can't wait to buy it on DVD.

I'm going to see it on Wednesday with my bestos
I wanted to go sooner, but they wanted to get the half price tickets on Orange Wednesdays
-_-

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Well there are other things that will screw them over for the next movie...

Like: No Bill and Fleur, no battle at the end to mess Bill's face up, are they seriously just going to randomly be like, "Oh yeah, Bill fell in love with Fleur, here's the wedding" in the 7th
They didn't explain Greyback, either.

But aside from a few odd things, this movie gave me restored hope after how horrid OOTP was. I now have faith in the 7th films.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

My notes in bold xD

2. The Burrow burnt down? Now, tell me if I'm mistaken, but that didn't happen in the book. The wedding and SO MUCH stuff happens at the burrow in the 7th book! Not to mention they didn't even show Billand Fleur's romance!
I hated that scene, honestly. But they did get the Burrow right in this movie, down to the riffraff in the rooms.

3. Voldemort's orphanage looked like that hall that was in Harry's dream in the OOTP. You know, the one at the ministry of magic? How much do you want to bet they re-used that set?
That is EXACTLY what my friend and I said!!

4. I wish they had showed the prime minister/minister of magic scene. I just liked that one in the book.
ITA, the beginning scenes were sorta pointless without it


7. Lmfao at how Harry reacted to the liquid luck! I couldn't breathe because I was laughing so hard.
I LOVED THAT! Siiiiir?

8. I liked that they kept it kind of...light until the end. DH is so dark, and there was very little humor in the 5th movie.

9. Why no Dumbledore funeral? I understand why they didn't show the fight (because that also happens in DH, and it wouldn't been a tad repetitive for the average viewer). I really really wish they had showed that.
They didn't want the film to be overly sentimental.. but it's such a lovely scene, I wish they'd included it.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Agreed. Can I just say that OOTP is actually hard for me to watch? It could've been so much better.

Now my commentary on the trailors...
- New Moon is going to fail. That's all I have to say. F.A.I.L.
- Gay pride rock? I'm not sure what the name of this movie is, but it has this gay pride colored rock that has magical powers. They must be seriously running out of good ideas.
- Sherlock Holmes! Robert freaking Downy Jr. ♥

My responses, numbered with those above...
1. Agreed...I was like what the heck during this scene

2. I hated that scene! No adding big scenes allowed! The end!

3. It did and they reuse a lot. Ministry of magic? It's the Chamber of Secret

4. YES!!!! I wanted to see that so badly...it also would have established Scrimgeour was the new minister

6. He was so weird but in a good way!

7.

9. The one scene I was waiting for to show my last respects and they cut it!

10. But we all agreed he has big, weird, lumpy feet...

It was good as I've expressed on this thread, but it is definitely not one of my favorites...Goblet of Fire and Prisoner of Azkaban still hold those spots

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

We didn't have a New Moon trailer.. we had one for some incredibly long titled kids movie based on a book and being filmed by Chris Columbus (HP 1 and 2).

But SHERLOCK HOLMES looks AMAZING.

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I saw HBP with a big group of people, and my friend and I had to explain to them who Greyback was, because he was there, but they never explained him at all. He's important in the books, with Bill and Remus.

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

Also - the ending was lame.

And people who read the books. Should agree with me.. THAT THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH NEVILLE *tears*

Plus I dont think draco is cute, he is very very scary/creepy/tired/odd looking D:

Same here...nobody knew who he was. The closest they came to addressing who he was in the film was showing his wanted poster but you couldn't tell much from that picture.

For me to say that draco was cute, is really weird. I've always thought he was kind of odd looking, but I think he's looked nice in this movie. The finally got his hair under control or something.

I know! My dad just thought he was a funny looking death eater. Greyback is so important (I think) in the books.

Anyone else think this movie had no real point to it? Not that I didn't like it, it's just that the plot was weird. The axed the fight at the end, and horcruxes weren't mentioned a lot. I thought it was really a set-up for the next two movies.

I do think it was primarily a set up for Deathly Hallows. After all the book was also a big set up for the seventh, but it had more substance to it. And they left so much important stuff out that if they set out to make a set up for HP7 then they didn't do so well...

 

[BabyPiglet]

I'm not sure they really explained horcruxes so well? Or explained how important it was to destroy them.

So, who else didn't like Tonks? They FINALLY gave her a pixie cut (which is the haircut she's supposed to freaking have) and it looks awful. I think Natalie Tena is a pretty girl, really, but she looked like crappp.

And uhm, *** with them introducing the Tonks/Lupin romance! She just randomly started calling him sweetheart!? That was really, really bad! They could've at least put that scene at the beginning of the movie where Tonks saves Harry from the train.

I mean, I would like to know what goes through these peoples minds. They decided to add the dead Aragog scene, BUT NOT ONE OF THE OTHER EXTREMELY IMPORTANT SCENES?!

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

I've never liked movie Tonks.. she seems SO serious... and Tonks really isn't..

Totally agree with the relationship intro...according to the book there is not even supposed to be a relationship until Deathly Hallows!

Wasn't the Aragog scene in the book? The set up that he was dying throughout the entire year was missing from the book but Harry got the memory during that scene

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

Yeah, the Aragog scene was important, to me. Did anyone else find this too obvious foreshadowing:
When Harry touches the Horcrux ring, and gets the flashes of Voldemort. Dumbledore goes something about "remains of dark magic.." and has this look like 'oohhh Harry is a horcrux!' Sorry I didn't describe that well, but the people I was with guessed that immediately, even with not reading the books.

And it is supposed to be a pretty big twist.

Yeah, but they could've had him get it without the scene. Besides Harry and his 'pintcher' line, that scene wasn't memorable.
