Queen Asuka Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I don't know if this thread has already been touched on, but whatever. So, I am a Harry Potter fan. I didn't think I'd get to go see it in it's debut day, but luckily for me, Thursday my teacher had some extra tickets and offered me one. So I went! And I liked it, but I just didn't know what to think. The book, as usual in this case, is always better than the movie. And that goes for this movie too. For one thing, my favorite characters, Fred and George Weasley, did not get hardly ANY air time. And that was not cool. But Ron was a very awesome character indeed. And so was Malfoy. My favorite parts was the Quidditch match and the Chess Game. They were awesome. Quidditch was just like I imagined it would be, and so was the Great Hall. I recommend to all Harry Potter fans to see the movie, but watch it with an open mind because the book will always be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Akito Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I went and saw it, cause me and my pals missed The One, and we flipped a coin between pot and hal, and pot won. Anyways, I just sat there laughin my head off at how they went off story on alot of stuff, and i just laughed my head off cause well, it's sooo stupid to make a movie out of a book, because they never follow the book.

Queen Asuka Posted November 19, 2001 Author Share Posted November 19, 2001 I totally agree. But they knew it would make them a whole lot of money. It was annoying when they took stuff out and added stuff. But didn't you like the Quidditch match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*GaLxY-GiRl* Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 [COLOR=limegreen]I haven't seen it, but my best friend took her brothers. She said it sucked a big one, and the fact that it was approximately four hours long, didn't help. The biggest problem with the movie, according to her, was that it didn't have enough settings.....just that "Hog Fart School," or whatever it's called..:drunk:[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted November 19, 2001 Author Share Posted November 19, 2001 It was only 2 and a half hours long. And the whole book takes place at Hogwarts so NO WONDER the movie has that as the primary setting...geez louise some people are so DENSE....*sighs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoCactuar Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 The movie isn't out yet where i live. But when it does come out i think i will see it, although i'm afraid it might ruin the mental pictures when i read the rest off the books, so i'm tossing it up. But then again it will be pretty hard to avoid so in the end i think i will see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted November 19, 2001 Author Share Posted November 19, 2001 I was scared to see it for the same reason, but the mental picture you get isn't really bad. I like the interpretations of the characters. Like Oliver Wood, the Quidditch team captain, he's perfect. And so is Ron and Malfoy. And Professor Snape looks just like Trent Reznor from NIN. It's funny. But I think you should see it anyway. Just so you can see how they did things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 [SIZE=1]No, I havn't seen it. I don't really plan on doing such either. I'll probably wait until it comes out on video or something if I decide to watch it.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] I TOTALLY agree. I see no point in going to see that movie. I made an attempt to read the first book. It was a BIG failure. I don't know what your reasons are Seppy but, I agree with your conclusion about it... -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Break Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 [SIZE=1]I have seen it. It is a BIT like the book, the quidditch match was excellent, Harry was crap, Ron was the best, Hagrid rocked, Mr.Filch was funny... The book is always better, the film is boring in some parts. I seen it twice already :rolleyes: and second time, I could of gone to sleep... 6/10:sleep: [/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undying Angel Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 Well I've read the book, but I'm not that much of a fan. I don't really care if I see it or not. I'll wait until there's a DVD. Special things, hehehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posthumous Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 this is weird:doesn't the movie come out first then the book? I only saw 5 mins. of it and just left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted November 20, 2001 Author Share Posted November 20, 2001 well everyone has their own opinion about everything. Alot of people don't like Harry Potter. But everyone is the world does not have the same interests, that would be pretty insane. But the book really is better to me. So, this is a question I've been arguing about....now come on, who REALLY thinks Harry Potter is witchcraft? I think some people are just so close-minded. All these parents banning their kids from seeing Harry Potter or reading the books because they think it is the work of the devil.. Well, they use magic in the final fantasy games, so it's ALL witchcraft...wouldn't that be saying the same thing??? Just curious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted November 20, 2001 Share Posted November 20, 2001 well, i saw the movie and loved it! the book was 200% better though. it may seem childish for a 15 y/o to like harry potter, but i do. so screw all of you who think otherwise! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
