    So the director is pulling stuff out of left field? Seems like it could work, if they do it right. By right, I mean letting JK having little to no say in how it will go down... Right...

    What is this "DVD" you speak of;)

    Personally, Gaunt looked pretty much exactly like I pictured Pansy.

    I agree about the kissing; watching Grint snog Emma is going to be like choking down an entire bottle of ipecac. :puke:

    I don't know It might be worth it to actually see the new scenes on big screen. I mean, they're completely original to the plot after all.

    I'd be willing to see them in theatres. Depending on the reviews maybe the imax if they're epic enough.

    I forget how much say Rowling had in the movies. I always assumed they would take her advice when given but it was more at the studio's direction.

    I think they can do pretty much all they want as long as they stick with the general premis of the books. Rowlign makes it clear she is the one that writes Harry, and doesn't want anyone else to after her.

    She brings up the sherlock homes series as an example enough to get the point accross, I think she would have had a deal worked out with wb to represeant that.

    What that means is, I think they were leaning toward the harry hermione ship so now that they know that that isn't possible their going to just minimize the ginny harry relationship.

    To the bear minimum as to not fuck aroudn with the audiences, who will be confused.

    WB is paying quite a bit for these movies so they're going to focus on plot issues, unlike Jk.

    Am I reading that wrong, or is Neville motherfucking Longbottom not appearing in DH? He was pretty much the only redeeming feature that book had.



    200th post. Yay.

    I wouldn't trust that list much. Hardly any info on the DH films has been released. It's probably mostly speculation, and based upon those people who we know signed up for all the films.

    If it's anything like the opening of OotP and the director is playing around... I wouldn't expect much.

    Same director right...?

    That may have been the worst start the films have ever had. But then again, the books usually start out slow.

    Also these new scenes do describe the mountign chaos... and if nothing else the action scenes were decent IMO for the last movie.

    I'm not relishing having to watch country bumpkin life at the burrow again. Or the homoerotic adventures of Dumbledore as he waylays his young protege into a dark and cramped space to "chat".

    Notice how I always start out with high hopes before something comes out.

    Remember this post incase the movie tanks.

    Hold on a sec! Did that part in the caption for the eleventh picture about the potion-laced chocolates actually happen in the book (I can't remember, you see, as the sheer horror that is HBP caused damage to my brain's memory center)? 'Cause I could have sworn that was straight from a fanfic I read a few weeks ago.

    That quote still confuses me. Why, exactly, does Ginny have to tie Harry's shoelace? You'd think he'd be more than capable of tying his own shoes at this point.

    He can't duel to save his life at this point, why would he be able to tie his shoelaces? Not to mention being unable to remember simple instructions when fighting Inferi. I sympathised with Snape at that point.

    Romilda is never described as ugly. I always got the impression she is pretty hot. That, and Tinn's fic basically made her a character I wanted to see more of in fanon.

    From the way I read the quote, it was more that she needed to tie the shoelace in order to get close to him (as a ploy), rather than her needing to tie his shoelace because he was unable to.

    The way you describe the scene it sounds as if Ginny is stalking Harry. So there is no Dean/Ginny romance going on?

    I want to see the chestmonster. Please. Let it jump out of Daniel Radcliffe. Just ask Ridley Scott how to do it properly.

    The appropriate reaction is, "Who are you, and why are you molesting my shoelace?"
