Disagree, he is one of my fave actors in the entire series, and used far too little. Snape was barely in pt1 save for the very beginning, yer not missing much.Rez said: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:one man's trash ...
i said my peace re: hallows' tricks and tropes, so you may keep your point. this one's character drama is an equivocal speck to be fair, but to me just a bit of blarney. some would call it fauxtel, like the new(est) sherlock holmes movie. you watch and begin to hopefully procure or perhaps infer the greater point, then end as one unfulfilled dumbo whose deductive powers are torn asunder. neither engaged nor disengaged is your experience, but you're daft about it all the same. hallows (pt. 1) is of course far worse, being soapy melodrama and such with contrivances abound here and there, everywhere.
half-blood prince is my favorite harry potter.
This. Snape's turn in HBP was so dissatisfying. It was one of the best moments in the entire book series.Rez said: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.

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.
Medalion said:Ok, so basically you thought it sucked
What really stood out to the people I watched it with was how cliche the locket drama was with corrupting the wearer, etc. It basically was exactly like the LotR ring. And the kids were aware of the locket's negative energy, yet they still chose to wear it around their necks. Why not put it in that magical endless bag of yours, hmm? Or maybe, your pocket instead.

Foolish deal!
In the movie Harry summons a vial out of the bag.Wolf Akela said: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,I'd personally wear it if I was any of them.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.

Yeah, same. Very tempting, but you know the complete series box-set with NEVER BEFORE SEEN EXTRAS will follow.Solo said:I'm forcing myself to wait a year for the complwete series set, or else I would have jumped on it. Amazon had better have a crazy deal on that Black Friday 2011!

Blue Ninja said: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.

May I humbly recommend that you read along with the audio books which are excellent. It was the way I experienced it and the guy who does them does a fine job of imitating the actors from the movie.1stStrike said:Well guys, my box set of Harry Potter books got here today so I'll start reading book 1 tonight. Looking forward to getting the full story.

Edit: Audiobook people, who's better? Fry or Dale? I see audiobooks by both.

I just finished listening to Fry's DH. The guy is fantastic.1stStrike said:Hmm, ok. I've heard that "Fry is a legend" but some people are like "Fry is bullshit" so I'm a bit torn. I'll have to look up both and see which I like on youtube I guess.

Explain to me how theElder 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?

Video game versions as well, they encompass 3 video game generations.Rez said: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.

SpacePirate Ridley said: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?

Solo said: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.
