Who here likes Harry Potter? I have read all the books and have seen the films. I just went to see the new film "Half Blood Prince" at Midnight Such a good story!
-
Not a big fan. I don't really like the whole magic stuff...
-
I would like to see it and it seems like it will be a great story.........but I like to wait awhile for the crowds to die down a tad at the theaters......maybe in a few weeks.
-
The Harry Potter series just reminds me of like, a Star Trek series, and that's just so boring to me. Harry Potter is laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame!
-
lol nothing remotely like star trek ::) everyone has there opinion though. I think its very imaginative.
Don't blame you for wanting to wait til the crowds die down for sure. It can get anoying tryin to watch movies with a million people talking and crunching popcorn
-
:notworthy: I love Harry Potter. I have seem all of them and I be going to see the new on this Friday
-

i absolutely, 100% agree!
you're a smart cookie, mc1962 ;p i hate going to see movies when they first open. sitting in an theater full of giggly teenagers who won't shut up isn't my cup of tea, at all. lol.
but yes, i'm pretty much dying to see the new movie! i've seen the others and i've read all of the books<3. i'm not sure if i'll be able to talk anyone into seeing it with me, though, and i'm not the type of person to go to the movies by herself.. we'll just have to see, i guess.
:dontknow:
-
I would love to see it but, don't have the time. I will probably buy the DVD later so I can see it again and again.
-
I absolutely love Harry Potter! I'm going to see the new movie for sure :]
-
My kids and I love Harry Potter. My kids and i saw the move last night and it was great can't wait for the next move to come out.

-
I don't know about you guys but I think the books are much better than the movies. But I think that applies to all book-based movies.
-
The books are always better than the movies.....But still can not wait to see the new one.
-
i like the harry potter movies....they are pretty dard good. Long but good.
-
I think one misconception is that they are only kids stories. I seem to find more adults that are more into them.
I agree most times the books are better but I spose if they tried to fit everything from the book into the film we'd be there for days lol.
-
I didn't read all the books, but I find the movies very entertaining.
-
I am a big Harry Potter fan!! I have read all the books and watch all the movies!!!! The new Harry Potter movie is good...cant wait for the next movie to come out... its going to suck when the series ends!!!!
-
The books are ok, but I feel that Rowling rips off too many authors for me to really enjoy it.
-
LOL I played the video game and haven't seen the movie so I know what happens. But does it help I read the book first for the new one?
-
I think its more enjoyable if you read the book first but since you played the game that helps too.
-
I've read all the books before. I just got game 6 before I went to the movie. I heard its one of the best in the series
-
I actually havent ever played any of the games but they look fun. I usually go for adventure strategy type games.
-
Chamber of Secrets is insane. Every "night" you are sneaking past prefects for something. It's pretty hard
-

I like Harry Potter. Never read the books though (don't have time), but I make a effort to watch the movie when ever it comes out.
When it first came out I wasn't crazy about it, till I actually watched it. :thumbsup:
-

I heard it was hard. I like a good challenge ;)
-
::) I've read all the Potter books and enjoyed them as well as my kids, the movies have also been great saw it the first day it came out. Will miss it when it ends but I have heard that Rowling is lookin into findin a way to keep it alive.
-
I started reading the harry potter books when I was in 3rd grade, and at that point I think there were 3 or 4 out.
I've seen every movie at midnight that I could (except this most recent one) and I have a costume.
I used to be completely OBSESSED with the fandom, but I think it's kinda dying for me.. :(
-
OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!!! i absolutely LOVE harry potter! ive read the books so many times cause they are just entrancing! <-- ;) lol i saw the sixth movie on opening day and i think it was totally AWESOME! though it didnt show two of some really important scenes. like it didnt show the fight scene or the funeral
-

I've had it for years and only beat it once. (I cheated and had a friend sneak for me, I was terrible)
-
Saw the movie at Midnight, I Enjoyed it a lot, but I know that it was difficult watching how much the slaughtered the origional book. They changed so much...
-
me and my twin love it
-
I heard they cut a lot of the story plot out of the movie...
-
They do leave some parts out I wouldn't say any of it are really big plot points though. It would have been nice to see some of it but Really they are around 3 hrs as it is.
I'd say the 4th film is one of my favorites because the competitions were really great scenes and its the climax of the whole story with Voldemort.
-
i thought the new film has been the best of the entire series
-
well honestly i have not seen the new one but i would like to. the previews look awesome. but unfortunatley they do always cut stuff out.
-
They should release the entire version to be bought online. I wouldn't mind watching a 9 hour movie
-
they wouldnt make much off of it. cracked and pirated versions will be out in a few hours if they do release it. they would have to put effort into something that wouldnt yield much payout.
-
Which Harry potter book or movie is the best?
-
yes harry potter is the best
-
Which Harry potter book or movie is the best?
I like the 4th book the best I think but they are all good. My least favorite would be the 2nd.
Have you all heard the last one will be 2 movies instead of one?

goblet of fire is easily my favorite of the books too!
l-o-v-e it!
and no, i hadn't heard that O_o
-
i heard all movies are cut and ruined the books - but this newest harry potter movie is said to be better than the book (that's what I heard). So whoever watched the new movie (I didn't, but will soon), share their opinions please!?!

I love Harry Potter, I like the magic, I watch it with my grand-daughter :)
-
Well I dont know if it was better than the book its pretty hard to top, but yes It was really good I will buy it on dvd possibly even see it in the theater again!
-
its ok, havent seen that film yet though, probably wont ;D
-
i like the harry potter movies. but i cant get into the books.
-
yeah same, I love the movies but not much of a reader :)
-
I am not into Harry Potter too much. The Half Blood Prince was okay for the most part, but the movie was extremely long and dragged a little. I think the movie was better when they were a little younger. I prefer the book over the movies. My son loved it though, and that was all that matters.
-
i only seen the first harry potter
-
i hate harry potter, so over rated
-
The books came came out when I was just in elementary school. I've seen all the movies, and they get more disappointing with each one. :'(
-
I have liked all of them so far. I hope this latest one is as good. The trailer I saw on line looked real good. I am going to wait until the crowds go down a little before I go see it.
-
They are OK, I like the Order of the Phoenix the best. Of course the books are better than the movies.
-
I LOVE HARRY POTTER!!!!! I really want to see the new movie but my husband never got into it so i have to go by myself :(
-

what is your method at getting so much money ? please share your method
-
i liked all the rest so i hope this one is good , still gonna wait to see it
-
shouldn't be quite as many people out seeing it now. Apparently everyone is seeing that Gforce movie lol
-
I love the books and for the most part like the movies, but I have not seen the new one. I have to admit that I have to see the movies when they release around the holidays, because the movie just reminds me of winter and the holidays - sitting in the theater in the summer is just wrong when thinking Harry Potter.
-
I watched Harry Potter and the half-blood prince last week. I liked it alot. Although I did not go to theaters to see it and the movie site I watched it on got bad reviews for the movie. Alot of viewers said it didnt go along with the book. I never read the books to any of the Harry Potter movies. But I enjoy the movies lots of action and mystery involved.
-
Never read the book. I've seen the first three movies, but I'm not a big fan. I only watched them because my husband and kids wanted to watch them during family movie night.
-
Going to the the theaters to see the films reminds me of my younger brother he is the one that got me to read the books and then we would always go see the films together. Its like the only thing we have in common lol, but this time he is in Iraq :(
-
For those who haven't seen the movie yet, I would highly recommend seeing it in a true IMAX theatre. The opening sequence (about 10 minutes or so) were made into 3D... and it was absolutely amazing. I'm not a big Harry Potter fan, but my husband is, so we went together and I was like :o
((By true IMAX theatre, I'm not talking about the regular theatres that have a room set aside for IMAX... I'm talking about the monstrous ones like at the Virginia Air and Space Center that are like three stories tall.))

Wow I bet that was awesome even tho I have seen it I may have to do the Imax thing. There is a space center bout an hour away that has one.
-
yea even though i dont like to admit it i do like harry potter and i have seen all of the movies and read all of the books.
-
Read them all and Seen them all! Im totally a Ravenclaw if id been there. the way she writes just opens up the world! I look fowared to new series by her and cant wait!
-
I haven't seen the new Harry Potter. Only for the reason that I want to watch it in the comfort of my own home, where I can talk and rewind as much as I would like.
-
oy. i finnnally saw the new movie a couple of days ago.
and as expected, i wasn't disappointed ;p although there were a few things missing for me. then again, you can't expect them to cram every single book detail into a movie like that.
overall it gets a double thumbs up for me.
:notworthy:

Im glad you liked it. I ready to see the next one already lol.
-
I loved all the books, even though I'm far past the target age. They're great for kids because they teach good moral values in addition to being page-turners.
-
Im glad you liked it. I ready to see the next one already lol.
chya, ME TOO<333.
i'm also sad about the next one, though, because it'll be the LAST one :(
-
I just recently got into it a year ago and read all of the books over the course of a year, watching each corresponding movie after I was finished. I almost liked that better because then I didn't have to wait for the books or movies (except for the last movie(s), that is). I saw the latest movie and I thought comically it was very good. I also liked all the love connections (Ginny/Harry, Ron/Lavender/Hermione), but I think it's one of the weaker movies they've made overall. I bet the last two will be amazing though!
-

yea its sad but as well all know all good things come to an end.
-
;D i love harry potter and i just got done watching the movie some days ago. it was pretty good :P
-
I love all the Harry Potter stuff, too. It's about the only thing I have in common with my little nephews to talk about!
-
chya, ME TOO<333.

Actually, the next movie is not going to be the last. The producers said that with previous books, they could omit things (shortening the length of the movie) without destroying the story. However, the last book is pure storyline... so they're not going to miss a single detail.
In short, the final Harry Potter book will span two movies (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23600320/).
-
Isn't that the old guy on M-A-S-H?
-
I've read every book....so I stopped watching the movies.
-
not a fan of magic? Plu-eeeeeeeeze. It's fantasy Fiction, not a religious manual. If someone read Animal Farm would they say they just don't like talking animals.
-
Honestly, I cant stand the books or the movies...A little too weird for me.

Not everyone's cup of tea

The last book is going to be broken up into two movies...so there are actually still two movies after the half blood prince

you're right, this is true ;p i'd heard that before.
so i guess i didn't word my response right, lol.
i'm sad that it's almost over is all i meant.

I think they're fun stories and I've liked the movies. This last movie wasn't as good as the others, though. I have heard that yoou had to read the book to understand the movie, but what about those of us who don't REALLY want to read the book? I get into other types of books-I'll get to these one day, but I think it was a bad move on the producers' parts to make this movie so it really only makes sense to some people. It's turning itno a cult sort of thing and that's beyond just fun.
-
I never saw any of them
-
I haven't read/seen any Harry Potter... but I'd prefer it to Twilight.
-
herry poter getting too old. :icon_rr:
-
I have seen all of them so far. Some are ok, some good, one very boring. I have read the books as well.

I prefer it to twilight. Although I also like twilight, but the movie just was a tad too cheesy for me.
