[HPFGU-Movie] Harry Potter Movies In Trouble In the Long Run

[Saitaina]

<Imagine this: by the time the forth movie comes out, it will be the 
FORTH DAMNED TIME movie goers see the same "STUPID" Hogwarts and 
Quidditch match AGAIN on the big screen. Harry Potter fans will 
probably tolerate it, but the general movie goers (who are not fans 
of the books) will be so bored by the same thing over and over again 
that they will skip the movie. So, less and less people will go see 
each new Harry Potter movie. It will be a disaster for the Harry 
Potter movie franchise. >

I dont' think so.  It's not Hogwarts and Quiddich that brings in the money, it's the plot.  Yes there are those that go JUST for the special effects but we've got a LONG time worth of movies, and the FX methods change dramaticly every few years.  Hopefully we'll get better computer animators (and get rid of those centurs that look like the scenery, I couldn't see the bloody thing half the time), We'll find better ways to film some of the Quiddich scenes so that the blue screen is NOT so obviously used, and then we'll wow the non readers again.  

Each book brings it's own special magic to the screen.  Plot, character development, general fun stuff, that's what brings in your typical Saterday night movie goer.  Sure we may lose the special effects watchers but those that are just REALLY bored on Saterday night will still come, and of course, every Harry Potter fan known to man will be there.

I do not see this as a disaster, I see it as a projection for sucess.  Sure they'll lose a bit of money and in no way will HP and the CoS top HP and the PS/SS, but they'll still make their money and we'll still get to see Harry without lugging a book around.

"Do you EVER want to have sex again?" Harry asked, cocking an eyebrow in his
direction.

"If I say no can I not go?"

"Nope."

"Then yes I want to have sex again."
