Also, I love how they remixed the Harry Potter theme to sound epic like the Star Wars theme at the end.

I may just go see this for cheap thrills. Just turn my brain off and watch shit fucking blow up.

I hate you fucking faggots who think this has to be a two part movie because it's so dense. Any moron could adapt this thing into a two hour movie

Act 1: wedding
Act 2: camping/horcrux finding
Act 3: fight for Hogwarts/kill Voldemort

one Harry Potter movie makes on average $850,000,000.

And Warner Bros is doubling their profit by splitting the final film into two films.

That amounts to a huge amount of delicious fantard money.

Goblet of Fire was a terrible movie. As an adaptation, sure, it's fine, but it's just so goddamned lifeless... I'm glad Newell didn't come back.

Chamber of Secrets is horribly underrated; it's the closest the series ever came to straight horror in both incarnations, and Columbus, for all the crap he gets, knocked it out of the park with CoS. It's got substance, it's got style; Cuaron gets too much credit for his contribution.

Yates is probably the best director for the series- the changes he made to HBP worked for me, his OotP was still a good movie despite being a poor adaptation; I'm glad he's finishing it.

Man, I know I will be crying when I see the last scene.
Not because it's soooo good but because I've been reading and watching Harry Potter for more than half of my life. It's just sad that everything ends now.
You know that feeling when you like stuff not (mainly) because what it is but because what you have made of it? I still remember buying any single book. And I remember reading days and nights straight when a new one came out, or re-reading them when I felt like it. And I remember how different I saw many passages before my first love, and after. I remember reading some books when I was still younger than Harry, thinking "Omg, my life's gonna be exciting, too" and reading it when I was many years older than Harry, comparing what I experienced. I remember reading Harry Potter before I got internet, and after, when I had read about theories and guesses, and thought "oh, that guy on the board was right, and that guess was totally wrong". I remember crying when characters died, and not caring that much at all, reading Harry Poter before my grandma died and after. I remember when the spoilers to the last book were leaked on /b/, and then I remember reading "up to them" when I got the book weeks later, and comparing the book to what I imagined from the spoilers. And then thinking about, what a crazy, special thing the internet actually is, consisting of anonymous guys sharing information all over the world. And that my life is devoted to that (i do computer science).
Man, when I think about all that, it is just about the greatest thing ever. Because, that is the ultimate goal of art: connecting to people, becoming a part of their life. And no matter how Harry Potter did this, how many money was made this way, or if the books really deserve that position, it's a great thing to happen. It's just great.

>> No.845343

>>845329
Exactly. I don't think that HP is a good series, and I don't think they're particularly good movies, but I grew up with them and they're what helped me keep from being a depressed fuck as a little kid. So I like them. No one I know will argue that HP has much literary merit, so I don't see why everyone who rages about it attacks the fans for thinking that it's good literature or whatever.

>> No.845361

I still retain that Goblet of Fire was the funnest read. It had dragons, ghost blow jobs in hot tubs, it was the first time someone died, and then the end when Harry and Voldemort dueled was awesome.

>> No.845367

Myrtle was hot. If I was Harry, I would have rocked her spectral can.

And I would have taken her to the school ball. If I got dirty looks, I'd be all like HATERS GONNA HATE.

No, dude, you wanna know why people hate The Deathly Hallows?

It's the fucking epilogue. That shit read like it was plucked directly from Fanfiction.net

"Albus Severus"? What a a fucking awful name! It's the sort of thing only a 14 year old fangirl could write. And the fact that all the kids were pretty much the same as the parents, down to implying their school life would be the same shit.

It was just so damn saccharine.

I'm still disappointed that they never bought Cuaron back to direct another installment, probably because he dared to trim the story down to under 2 hours.
