Alan Rickman has been a terrible Snape, sadly.
I haven't seen DH yet, granted.

Funny, as I feel that one has the most soapy melodrama.Tesseract said:
I don't claim to think that the Harry Potter series is some expansive and meaningful epic. It's just a standard fantasy story told really damn well. There are far worse books and movies out there to have as a guilty pleasure. Actually, I don't even feel guilty about liking them. They serve their purpose as escapism films.
Also, maybe I'm just a prick, but I feel like your posts are inundated with outrageous synonyms and uncommon words. It makes your posts awkward to read, because I have never met anyone who talks or writes in that way. Instead of putting across a clear message, it seems like you're hiding your opinions in an unnecessarily complex assortment of words.

he does a fantastic job at the character that is movie Snape, don't get me wrong, but he has no near the emotional range of book Snape. Snape gets really, really angry. The end of the HBP movie really disappointing.

Yeah, after the first 3 films they seemed to move away from the nasty Snape and in HBP and DH1 he mostly wears a faintly pained expression and not much else. Yates has never directed him as anything other than a slightly reluctant good guy.

my message is a simple one, deathly hallows is 2.5 hours of absolute twaddle. verbosity aside (i write like i speak), i thought it was gimmicky, average cinema.
*quick edit* i haven't read the books, but i do hear great things. the movies as a whole i do love, sans crack or flaw. guilty pleasures and all that, most definitely...

I guess maybe because it feels safest to keep a pendant worn around your neck, rather than just leave it around? They could put it in Hermione's magic bag but they could also consider that they might need the thing ASAP and they'd have to rummage through the magic bag (Summoning doesn't work).
Putting in the pocket still makes it physically close to them. It would be rather dumb to just leave it around the tent, ESPECIALLY after all it took to get it,
getting DD killed for a fake one, needing to cause a ruckus at the Ministry, costing them Grimmauld as a hiding place, and more guilt with Kreacher.

the locket saga was completely unnecessary in the book so I'd imagine it will be equally frustrating in the movie. it's easily the worst part in the series post book 3.

Saw it this weekend, and I was pleasantly surprised after the horrors number 4 and 5 inflicted upon me. The sixth movie wasn't bad, but that ending was so atrocious it ruined the entire film for me (seriously, it's like they're all at a rock concert at the end). They pretty much stuck close to the book, and the deviations I made I could all get behind. It's the best Potter film I've seen since number 2.

Yeah, same. Very tempting, but you know the complete series box-set with NEVER BEFORE SEEN EXTRAS will follow.Solo said:

I can't believe that the same dude directed Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. HBP was pretty bad IMO but holy shit part 1 of Deathly Hallows is possibly my favorite out of the entire series.

Echoing you guys: current set is really tempting, but I'd rather hold out a year for all of them on BD.
I think I have the first 6 on DVD already anyway >_<
Oh yeah and the video Plainview put above: it's actually pretty funny. "I talk to women. Tell them I'm Harry. See where that gets me." :lol

Man you've got to be joking. I've always felt that Alan Rickman is one of the best parts of the series, at least for me, and has made a embarrassingly one-dimensional character in the books (for most of the books anyways) into something more with barely any extra lines. Halfblood-Prince was poor with him cause they did a poor adaptation of his character. Nothing else.
They didn't go into ANY of the Snape backstory at all. Something that gives you insights and identifiers for is to come at the end of Deathly Hallows.

There are youtube videos of some of the books if you want an idea. I have only listened to small bits and pieces of Fry, but Jim Dale does an awesome job.
Edit: Those audiobooks are what turned me into a quasi-HP fanboy. I watched the movies without a whole lot of interest then my brother gave me the audiobooks this year. Once I started listening to Jim Dale's reading, I was hooked.

Elder Wand really belonged to Draco Malfoy. What in the hell did he ever have to do with it.
The book says that the wand chose a new owner before Dumbledore died. How was that owner Draco Malfoy?

Fuck, fuck, fuck, what have you done Solo!
I wanted to wait to the full package because im sure they will add something, an special edition thing or some shit like that. But the price is unvelibavle, even more if you compare it to what this boxset cost in spain (100 something euros...).
I dont know if I wait, or purchase it, al becuase of you
And just yesterday I ordered Fantasia/Fantasia 2000.
What do I do Gaf?
Does this pack contains all the extras?

It's kind of cool, the progression of home video over this series.
1 and 2 are VHS, 3-5 are DVD and 6 (and 7 in the future) is BD.
Puts things in perspective.

My honest advice? Hold strong and WAIT, like me and several others in this thread. Rest assured that by this time next year, the fucking epic 8 film BD set will be out, with all appicable extended cuts and a boatload of features from the special editions.

Saw it a few hours ago, as a non book reader and only having seen 4-5-6 it was the better of them I think.
My gf and her sister who grew up reading the books and a huuuuge geeks about it were nearly foaming at the mouth after it finished in excitement for the next part, then went on dissecting it bit by bit and complaining about missing bits (a crown in a house or something?)
gfs sister them cried when the elf snuffed it, I was more "who the fuck is he?" :lol
The same one turned to her bf and said
"Oh no Hedwigs going to die!!"
"Who?"
"his owl!!!"
"Didn't know he had one" :lol
I liked the hallows story or rather the way it was told, dancing scene was just and needed more action like the begining! ah well

Well, It was really cheap, so if the complete edition is as awesome as we all imagine (and I hope) I will probably gift the 1-6 pack to somebody and buy the awesome edition.
