Ambrosia Software Web Board: The Rebellion Begins - Ambrosia Software Web Board

I just think its the fact that they always change somthing in the movie that's ment to be in the book. Like they left out snapes protection in the end of the philosopher's stone.

Can you say.. Goblet of Fire... Joke Shop? Come on! Best part of the book! I hope they at least REFER to it in this movie..

Christ, I don't remember seeing a single song in the movie. I guess I need to watch them again. In any event, the songs were pretty important for establishing background in the books, the argument could be made that they were a major part of the story. However, I'm fairly glad they didn't all occasionally lapse into song.

That's awesome. Pics?

I think moony just exploded...

Just walked back in from seeing it, was absolutely awesome. Much darker than the other ones, but that's to be expected.

I was worried about how much they'd have to cut out, but they did it well I thought...

Unfortunately no.

Saw it today @ 3:10 ( my plans to go see it yesterday fell apart amazingly quickly right before leaving to see it ), worth seeing. Could be hard to follow if you didn't read the book. Just go see it because my words cannot translate it well enough.

My dad never read the books but has seen every movie with us readers. He said that this movie was the easiest to follow so far.

I absolutely LOVED this movie. My God was it amazing. It's as if David Yates read the book and wanted to bring it to life through film. I thought it was leaps and bounds better than the first four films. So much of it was taken word for word from the books.

Luna. Holy crap! She WAS Luna! Her character easily could've been tossed aside and not developed, but with the little time they had, they did a beautiful job!
Umbridge. She was amzing. All the little details about her office.. and her mannerisms were spot on!

The thing I liked best about this movie is how it got all the little details that readers care about. The things that, if you hadn't read the books you might not notice.. No other director has done this yet. The little things like Tonks tripping inside Grimwauld Place, the memos zooming through the ministry, the meat on Hagrid's face. So much could've been easily overlooked and left out. And the parts they did change were well done. While in the book I loved the pensieve scene (Snape's Worst Memory) but what they did in the movie was marvelous and pulled everything together.

It could not have been better. Thank goodness they have a competent director for the next movie as well (The music was awesome too...)

Another plus.. I finally got to see The Golden Compass trailer on the big screen. Heck yes.

Oh.. and dude3, I don't know if you noticed.. but they did show that Trelawney made the prophecy. When the prophecy was read aloud it was very obviously her voice.

I loved Luna, thought she was very well done.

Did anyone else notice how many people had Converse trainers on?

Yeah! But I'm not complaining. I want Luna's shoes/earrings.

I thought the scene after "The Kiss" was hilarious. Straight from the book which is fabulous.

Did anyone else think that the end sequence starting with Fred and George's exit was just pure genius? It's like they did total justice to Sirius' death. It was brilliant!

Oh, by the way, in the British version of the book, Harry has to write 'I will not tell lies'...

Good to know. All though it's a moot point now that I know it's "I must not tell lies" in the movie as well. Had me scared for a minute there though

Somehow i should have known this was a Harry Potter topic.

iNeed to see it.

Let's go. This weekend.

WAIT

This Saturday is book 7!! ZOMG!!!!'

It'll have to wait till Sunday TJ. I should be done by then

Thankfully I have a copy of the book preordered and I will likely go at midnight to get it.

I think every Harry Potter fan has their book preordered..

We have a big group of people going to B&N's midnight party. Should be lots and lotsa fun!

(Lotsa is a word..)

I'm going to a late night BBQ so will be leaving at midnight to go buy a book, then come back and keep drinking

Just in case anyone has forgotten how much of a geek I am!

Did anyone else think this trailer was actually a trailer for some sort of EV:N movie before the title came up? The music they play in it is exactly the same as the music in the beginning of the game, it started and I cheered, only to be sheepish afterwards. Should be a good movie anyway.

If they screw it up.. there will be hell to pay. I can guarantee that.

I didn't think it was a nova movie, but immediately once the trailer started I jumped a bit in my seat and said "That's Mars!" or something like that. Fortunately, I had friends around me band-nerdy enough to understand what I was talking about.

I haven't read the books or seen the new movie, though I have seen all the past ones (all in theaters). I hear it's going to be great and I hope it is since I'm going to Imax 3D this wensday to watch it. Gotta love living in California (well near any Imax theater I guess). Man I'm craving a Fog City Diner burger, fries, and vinilla shake... Oh man best I've ever had. mmmm...

Pineapple shake > *
