Crap, I'm getting my hopes up. :lol: I promised I wouldn't do it! it didn't help at all the last time I did it (Spidey 2)...

It certainly seems good. And it's weird, because I think Prisoner is the best book (haven't read Half-Blood yet), but Goblet looks like it'll be the best movie so far. Hopefully they won't change much.

Don't worry me to! I got my hopes for the 3rd one and I was a little disapointed. It was good don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it. Just not as much as 1 & 2. This one looks really good, so it's hard not to get your hopes up!

I will be there opening day like I always am. Thanks for the links guys I loved them.

Well, another change confirmed. After scrapping the Dursleys, Molly Weasley and the whole Dobby/house elves subplots, they're changing the first trial as well. The dragon will get loose and chase Harry around the school. Lots of fun, huh? Guess they're doing it to compensate for the lack of Harry quidditch matches...

Where did you hear that? If they drop Molly, I will have to cry. She is one of my favorite characters.

I read it on a news site down here. They tend to be very reliable. I read once that they're starting right at the Quidditch Cup, to save time, so I'm assuming that's why they cut the DUrsleys and Molly.They'll probably go directly from there to the train, or even worse, straight to the castle.

That was the worst decision Warner could have made, and apparently it was Cuarón's fault. He convinced the current director not to split the movie. Meanwhile, JK is allowing her characters to be slaughtered on the way to the big screen just to appeal to the suits and the anime-craze generation. What, do they honestly think the sequences as written in the books would be "too slow" to attract today's kids?

I think you hit the nail on the head. The same kids that they had to change the title of the first book for as they decided American kids were too thick to understand "Philosopher" :rolleyes:

The suits also want a quick turnaround in the multiplexes. You can't do that with long films.

Which gets you thinking, really. If Jo Rowling managed to get 11 year olds reading a 250-page book with no pictures, how could they think it'd be wrong to follow the thing by the letter?

Anyway, I just watched the 3 movies again this week. I recently got PoA ( I was waiting for a price drop). I had only watched it the one time at the movies. I went in with a fresh mind, but it's no use. On the first two, you get this sense of magic and wonder that it's just not there on the third one. But it's funny, on the DVD, they show Cuarón and Jo talking, and they talk a bit about how everything had to go through her, and how she approved some things and rejected others, how she's very strict about the way she wants "her world" to be portrayed on the big screen. She says, for example, that she loved the idea of the talking heads, and that she wishes she had written that. And that Cuarón wanted to show "little people" all over the castle, playing pianos and the like, and she said there was no such things in that world. And yet, they never show her opinion on the lack of uniforms or the change of the sets and the layout of the school. Wonder why... :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm trying my absolute best not to get my hopes up. Didn't they see what a success Kill Bill was? They could have done the same with Goblet. But noooooo... Let's make money all at once. But you're right, let's wait and see.
