Harry Potter

I haven't read any of the books, but I have seen all of the movies, and might take my little bro to see this one. In regards to Christopher Lee, I would like to see him as Slitherin (not being a big Potter fan, wasn't he an original wizard founder?).

I ordered the book for my little brother for Christmas, and will probably read the end to find out what happens.
 
Saw the movie at the midnight showing too - awesome! Got the book in the afternnon on Saturday, finished by Sunday afternoon (and I even slept 8+ hours that night!) Perfect!

My name is Flutterby and I too am a Harry Potter geek :D
 
I've seen the movie (Great!), and I'm reading the book, but I didn't go to any midnight showings. I can wait. ;)

Actually, I have a friend who was at the midnight release of the book. He has a family friend who has a lot of animals, and comes to parties and etc. They hired him to come, and my friend helped him. I would have come, but it was all the way downtown, and I needed some sleep. It's pretty cool though, they have snakes, and tarantulas, and stuff like that.

I also could have gone to see the movie on the first day, but to get there, I would have had to run 10 blocks in 10 minutes (Not old enough to drive). I thought about it, but when I went to the Harry Potter 4 movie, I was a bit late, and I had to sit at the very front. As in, right in front of the movie screen. :grumpy: It was also like the 3rd day. I got good seats for this one though.
 
The new book was spectacular!!!!

I can't wait for the latest movie to be out on DVD!!!
 
I took my 9 year old son to see the movie this past weekend.

All in all, I’d say I enjoyed it. But reading the book before you see the movie spoils you!

If the movies were made to the detail of the books, they probably would be at least 12 hours long. So it’s understandable that some elements need to be cut out. But just 10 or 15 minutes could have made a big difference!

SPOILER ALERT - Among the details from the book that were left out of the movie:

* Harry explains what happened to Dudley. Aunt Petunia knows what a Dementor is,
and receives a howler from Dumbledore.
* Ron and Hermione are selected for house Prefects. So is Malfoy.
* Ron’s brother Percey now works as an assistant for the Minister of Magic, Cornelius
Fudge. He distances himself from the Weasleys because they believe Harry. He writes
a long letter to Ron, congratulating him for becoming a prefect, and warns him to
distance himself from his family and Harry.
* Harry, Fred, and George are barred from playing Quiddich at Hogwarts by Umbridge.
* Ron becomes the Griffindor Keeper, Ginny becomes the Seeker. They beat Slytherin
for the Cup.
* A centaur, Firenze (from the first movie) takes over teaching Divination when
Trelawny is sacked by Umbridge. He is attacked and is ostracized from his herd
because of it, and Hagrid squares off with the rest of the herd of centaurs.
* Hagrid is sacked by Umbridge. He is hit by multiple stunning spells from Umbridge
and a squad of Aurors. Professor McGonagall is caught in the cross fire and is
injured. Hagrid is half giant, is unaffected by the spells, and proceeds to beat the tar
out of the aurors.
