I'm not a real fast reader either Dom. Peter will be finished before I get half started, but that is OK. We should still have a great time discussing it. Oh, and Peter has already told me that he will have his book before I get mine because of the time difference. Rats. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I would love for you to join in. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) The more people we have talking about it, the more we will have. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I preordered mine and that is when it is suppose to get here. I'm just hoping they meant it when they said it would be delivered on that date. If not I may end up with 2 of them, because I don't think I can wait until Monday to find out whether it comes that day or not. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I am that anxious to get hold of the book. ;D Great Dom. We will look forward to having you join us. 9 days to go. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I saw the latest Harry Potter movie. I thought it was one of the best Potter movies yet! Man was it good! It was very Dark, had some great humor, and it was very fluid. Even if one never read the book, you can tell something has been left out, but that in no way detracts from the movie at all. They did a good job on this movie. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Tsel ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

I watched it on Friday and they did do a good job ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) ..Harry against the Dragon was very well done but there was quite a bit left out. I would have liked to see Snape a bit more as well as the falling out between Harry/Ron. Maybe a starting scene of how the Weasleys enter the Dursleys house(5 minutes) and maybe another 5 minutes on life at the Burrow. 5 minutes of Winky pleading innocence and another 5 on life in the Hogwarts kitchen. Snape and Karkoroff agruing(it was a deleted scene)...2 minutes Of course i realise that it would take a long time in real life but by adding those would make the film unbeleivable. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I still haven't had the chance to see it. ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png) I had wanted to the Friday after Thanksgiving, but it just didn't work out. Hopefully I will get the chance to see it soon. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Shan ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Will and I saw it with some friends. Overall, very enjoyable. But it did leave me wanting to see more. My biggest complaint was that you never stayed in any one place very long so you didn't get a good sense of it. Everything was moving so fast. And so so much was left out.
I still think it would have been better to make 2 movies out of this book... heck, a miniseries would have handled it better. But I know the miniseries format doesn't do well in America. I think they should do all the Narnia books in miniseries - 12 eps a book would be fantastic! ...ah, well. Gotta be content with the movies, I suppose...

along with the first epiosde, this is probably by far the best movie of harry potter...quite a huge improvement over the last 2 faillures. my wife loved, lol, she looked like a kid really...it was a very nice time spent on a saturday afternoon.

I don't think any Harry Potter movie can be seen as a failure, and I don't even liked the first two.
Anyway, this movie was very good, if perhaps a step down from the excellent Azkaban, but that's reasonable as neither the book or the director as as good. Still, even if it suffers from similar storytelling problems as the first two, it isn't nearly as soulless and tepid. The worst part is that the story was stripped to its very bare bones, leaving just enough to get the story across, though lacking the depth CuarĂ³n brought to Azkaban.
I have no idea how they are going to adapt Phoenix or Prince and still being so slavelish faithful.
