Film Harry Potter mania

[Lamp]

Just got back from Central London. Thousands of people in Trafalgar Square & Leicester Square for the premiere of the last HP movie. Massive screens up showing clips of the movies. Loads of police & marshals. Screams from the massed crowds every 5 seconds at every appearance of one of the stars on the screens. Sounds like a great bunch of fun if you're a HP nut

One guy was interviewed on the radio this morning. He'd camped out for 8 days for this event. Hadn't washed in over a week & told us he hadn't gone to the toilet for over 24 hours (smelly wierdo). Wants to get JK's signature on his arm which he then intends to get tattood.

Two words. Emma. Watson.

 

[megadave]

Yeah without her I wouldn't have watched the last few She's pretty rubbish at acting though

 

[Reno]

Two words. Emma. Watson.

I found the last few pretty good actually. Then again its everyone's own opinion so whatever!

 

[Wij]

Only seen the first one and was bored shitless tbh.

 

[Billargh]

Don't know shit about Harry Potter, but the trailer for the new one looks pretty class.

 

[Sparx]

Cant really judge the series on the first film Wij. the first one is very much for children but they get better and better as the series progresses

 

[old.Tohtori]

Only seen trailers for them, avoided most major spoilers, planning on a marathon wathing of all..err...8?... next winter

 

[CorNokZ]

This was referred to a few posts ago and pretty much most peeps agree with.

The second part is good fun though. Fluff nazis will go have some fun doing fluff related things but most of the self indulgent teenage shite has been cut out.

part 2 is definately the best of all the films, maybe it isnt hard to say that, but it actually was semi enjoyable to watch. As they actually filmed the films darker as they went along the series improved from the kiddie fest to something watchable

Saw this last night, was pretty good I think, didn't rate Radcliffe much before, but he does a good performance in this one.

I have watched all the HP films as the wife is a big fan. This final one was the only one I actually liked. The one where they go inside a big tree was ok too.

The thing that annoys me is if you don't read the books you get a bit lost - I have no idea who a lot of the characters are; they pop up out of nowhere and do a bunch of important plot related stuff.

So anyway, this final film was good because there wasn't much of that, no need for a 30 minute debrief after the film so I can make sense of what just occured...

i think one of the major problems they had while filming the first few movies is that the series wasnt done, so some of the characters mentioned in the books were deemed "unimportant" in the film and cut, meaning that when they became important in the books later they had to try and squeeze them in and introduce them quickly in the movies which left me a bit baffled until i read the books

quite enjoyed the last few movies though
