I wish it were a little longer, but I'll take what I can get. Loved Harry crashing his face into the back window of the bus. Loved how Harry was holding Hermione by the tree. Loved the housekeeper at the end. Didn't like how they had Ron say "Ridikulus" instead of Neville. Either show Neville saying it, or show something else entirely of Ron. I'm sure they just wanted some Ron in it, but he's got plenty of other lines. Can't wait for June!

Where would they separate the two? IMHO I can't really think of any part of the movie that has a good cliffhanger or any sort of way to divide it into two movies. The story is all leading up to the surprise ending, which would make the first movie really boring and sort of pointless. Of course all the tri-wizard stuff and the QWC would be entertaining, but nothing really ties everything together until the end of the story. Ideally in a two-part story you'd need something to focus each story around. and GoF is too linear of a story, it would be sort of awkward to have it as two completely separate stories. Harry Potter is already one essential story being told in 7 parts anyway, it would be hard to split up one of those parts.

Iggy here: Well, you could always end the first movie just after they are leaving the first task and are told that the golden egg contains the clue to the second task. This seems not only like it would be a natural division (because you leave about the same amount of action and intrigue on both sides of the break), but also at about the halfway point in the book. Like any good movie, you've just finished a load of action, you've had a "calming point" and (for sequels) you've added just the right "hitch" at the end...

Follow this link and scroll down. They are at: http://mugglenet.com/ I wish it was not quite so fast. I had to watch it a couple of times to see the shrunken head well enough. As for the comments about Ron and the DADA class, I wish they had a different scene for him too but I could tell it was not him when they showed Snape - you could see a different student (Neville) off to the side with a wand when Snape changes. However, it does seem a bit odd. I really want to see how he handles the angry - your cat killed Scabbers scene. I mean he has done the I'm afraid scenes and the funny scenes in the first two films but we have not seen how he does anger other than when he tries to hex Malfoy and I was slightly disappointed that he just didn't seem to be mad enough in that scene. I think Rupert has a lot of potential (actually I think all three young stars do) but we haven't seen him do REALLY mad yet. Having recently reread POA, I can see loads of emotions from all three main characters so I am looking forward to see how well the three young stars handle it. Dan said Harry is really angry is this film and with good reason when you think about it - the person who betrayed and caused the murder of his parents is out running around looking for him. Anyway, I am REALLY looking forward to June 4th!

I've yet to have seen her play an evil part (I haven't seen all of her movies), but I can tell that she can play the ruthless character perfectly. All she has to do is let her hair grown some more and have the make-up artists make her look "drabby." That way you can see how beautiful she was before Azkaban life.

She plays a pretty lighthearted character in that show, but I sense she is a veteran actress with the skill to play a darker role.

Oh my God, I can't believe I never thought of her! Her name is Judy Cornwell, and she's a really good actress who's been in quite a few things. There's a Christmas movie with Dudley Moore and John Lithgow that they seem to show every year on the BBC - I think it's called Santa Claus the Movie or something like that - in which she plays Mrs. Claus. She was also a very good Miss Marple in a Christie adaptation (I have a funny feeling it was The Mirror Crack'd From Side to Side, but I'm not certain). Not quite Angela Lansbury, and the adaptation itself wasn't great if I remember correctly, but she was not bad at all. Physically she has the right look, though I feel really mean saying it, considering how Umbridge is described. :) I definitely think she could do it, and at least it's a new suggestion.

The fellow in the frame with Snape (mind you, it is from the back) is larger and has brown hair. Yup it's Neville. :-) It's probably shown as is, as someone else suggested, because the effects for the spider are unfinished. Trust me I have much more faith in Cuaron, than I ever did in Columbus.

He should be good with the slightly bedraggled look of Lupin. In the Australian movie 'Gettin' Square' he made a very realistic (I imagine) heroin addict, so I don't think a down on his luck werewolf would be too much of a stretch for him...

He plays one of the elder vampires by the name of Victor, and much of his basic scenario is very Voldemort-like in many ways. (Being resurrected by blood in a ritual, re-assuming the mantle of power over his minions, seeking to slay the one person who could be his downfall, looking thin and cadaverous...) And that's aside from it just being a really cool movie in the first place. (They have a number of other British actors who would do well in other HP roles. For example, the actress who played Erika would do well as Rita Skeeter.)

If they would bother to waste time to visualize Snape's fabricate side of his story (which is NOT Canon either, in the book Snape never made up stories that he "heroically" stood in front of the kids to protect from harm; that itself is also messing around with JKR's story), such visualization would made much better use on storytelling for stuffs like the re-telling of 'Prankster" incident. But as far as we know they did not cast younger version of James and Snape, so that seems unlikely. I just find it unlikely they would waste time to visualize unnecessary stuffs could have told in one line. D. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

It's a cool idea, but way off from the book, how Snape's character was developed and presented by Rowling, and how the translation from book to movie was handled the first two times.... 2) It's really a visual re-enactment of what Snape tells the Ministry...(Casting himself as the hero, of course). This film technique is often used to expand on a situation that happened in the book to add to the 'drama' of the movie. So, could be pointless, but it's more eye candy for the audience (and might actually help to add a humorous moment for the watching audience--who KNOWS Snape is lying....^^;) 3) It's JUST a publicity still, and actually won't be in the movie (Anne notes that she hates when this turns out to be the case....no fair teasing, Hollywood!) It'll be interesting no matter what the explaination for that little shot is, though... **gets out pom poms and starts to chant, very quietly so she doesnt get murdered by people who dont feel the same way** "Go hero Snape, Go hero Snape!!!" **Snorts at own foolishness...heh** From CoyotesChild at charter.net Wed Feb 11 14:00:10 2004 From: CoyotesChild at charter.net (Iggy McSnurd) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 08:00:10 -0600 Subject: Harry Potter Posters Message-ID: <000101c3f0a7$674bee60$18667144@Einstein> Iggy here: While wandering around the web, I found this poster, and if you follow things on the page further, you can get access to buy some pretty cool HP posters. http://joblo.com/upcomingmovies/oneposter.php?id=2634&movie_id=159 Iggy McSnurd From frellseeker at yahoo.com Wed Feb 11 23:45:24 2004 From: frellseeker at yahoo.com (Gandore Dumbledalf) Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2004 23:45:24 -0000 Subject: Harry Potter Posters In-Reply-To: <000101c3f0a7$674bee60$18667144@Einstein> Message-ID: > Iggy here: > http://joblo.com/upcomingmovies/oneposter.php?id=2634&movie_id=159 Thanks for the tip.

Andrew In the first two movies, his hair was messier than Ron's, whose hair was neatly combed pretty much every time we saw him. Harry's was "messy" but didn't stick up all over or in back, as it does in the books. From pics I've seen of the third movie, Harry's hair sticks up a good bit more, alarmingly so in some of the publicity shots (not from the movie, when he, Rupert and Emma are posed for shots at some public appearance). I don't think there's anyone anywhere whose hair sticks up THAT way -- not naturally, not without a lot of mousse or something. Harry's hair not lying down doesn't mean it sticks straight out like that! I think they're closer to "correct" in this third movie.

His hair is thick, and they could easily mousse it or gel it up so that it is spikey. I also thought they should have him periodically run his fingers through his hair, messing it up. Not as his Dad did, to show off, but maybe when he is deep in thought trying to solve a mystery with Hermione and Ron, or frustrated. That would make the connection between him and his Dad, but also show the difference in their personalities.

Instead, it looked to me like some wizarding world fancy bad-boy ride. Having thought about it for a while, however, it hit me: Who says wizarding design has to look anything like muggle design? The Firebolt is a thouroughly magical object, and the look should reflect that. Wizards don't have to consider the same kinds of problems muggles do while designing "vehicles."

Looks kinda nobbly to me and I thought the Firebolt was supposed to be shiny and aerodynamic. Can anyone confirm that this is a promotional item from the studio? It looks like somebody's homegrown idea of a broomstick and not a movie prop. And the fact that it isn't in a promotional photo with any of the cast makes me even more suspicious. Is there anyone out there who speaks Japanese that can translate what's on those websites? I'll believe it when I see it in official promotional items released by the studio or in set stills. The other Japanese photo that's going around with Harry on a broomstick (wearing what looks like a new design for the Quidditch robes) shows him riding a Nimbus 2000 so as IMHO we still don't know what the Firebolt looks like.

The Firebolt is suppose to be the world standard of high performance brooms. They should have been designing the Porche or Ferrari or Lamborghini of brooms, instead, in my opinion, they designed a Buick. This is the kind of broom old men and old ladies drive, not world class athletes. It would have made a nice Cleansweep, but just doesn't cut it as a Firebolt.

She appeared in two movies that I know of with Jason Isaacs: "The Patriot", and "Event Horizon". She was also in "Maybe Baby" with Emma Thompson (Trelawney), and Rowan Atkinson (no- don't let him be Voldemort!). She has the physical features to be Narcissa, and the acting skills to make her come to life.

He'd call it a horse, not a bird (if he actually saw that). I almost feel like writing one of these up, just to see how convincing I could make it. It would be a hell of a lot better than this one!

Well that review do offer a few *new* things that none of us (who only watched trailers/pics and on-set report) could have known, such as they decided to visualize the 'voices' that Harry heard from Dementors. Lily-being-killed would be visualized in a foggy imagery instead of just being voice. I wonder if Harry's "happy thoughts" will also be visualized when he tried to do patronus. Also this review mentioned "Flashback" of "kids playing the adult", does that mean the flashback of Mauraders/Snape's school days, possibly the visualization of the Prank incident flashback, instead having Lupin or Sirius spellling it out in long dialogues?? Now we wouldn't know this do we? Also the review mention that Snape did not seemed to have enter the Shrieking Shack. That proves my theory of how the "Mother-hen Snape protecting 3 little chickens" image works. Snape never enter the shack and only confront them when they walked out...therefore he was not knowck out. Well We'll know if this report is true when these things are indeed done in how he described in the film. ANY fan who claimed they can write a "better" fake report need to come up with their own "resolution" about how these things are done in the film. At least this review offer these. To me, the review sounds quite legit, could very well be genuine coming from a person who's not a fan of the series but only an average reader who read the books to his kids. He would not remember nor care for every single details in the book, he does not hang on to nor care about every single little detail so importantly like die hard fans do. So the way he view the film is very much like an average film watcher, who only focus on grand scheme of things. If a fan wrote it he/she'll probably go on and on interpreting all these tiny bitsy details of the trio's relationship looking for clues to support their 'ship'...that kind of thing.

Yes, that's the feeling I got, too, when reading the review.

I do agree that it could be genuine; then again, it may not be. It does incorporate known spoilers and early previews, but it would have to, given they're true ;-) Quality of the writing is also pretty irrelevant, since fans of the movies and books certainly would have a range of abilities in that area. I only skimmed this review, but time will tell if the reviewer was truthful. And at that point-- when we're all busy enjoying the actual movie!--who will really care anymore?

It's just greed. Like they aren't making enough money off these movies already? When people wonder if they will make 5,6, and 7 I always say how can they afford not to. The Harry Potter movies have made enormous returns on the money invested. WB would be insane not to. Check out http://www.the-numbers.com/movies/2001/HPOTT.html for some amazing stats on how much the movies have made. I just can't believe that they are so money hungry they would cut the running time to get more showings per day. Well I guess that is why I am not a buisness person...

Based on what I've read, he got a couple hundred thousand for the first movie, and a couple million for the second; not sure if that's dollars or Pounds. It's possible that they are estimating his worth at the end of the HP series, so they are including future revenue. Based on the movies, and not knowing what he is getting for PoA and GoF, I'd say it's probably closer to ?6 million (US$11 million), and of course, that does include revenue for movies he hasn't been paid for. None the less, that's a lot of money for someone who is only 14. Assuming his money isn't mismanaged, he is pretty much set for life.

Joj: Does he get paid also for all the traveling to different countries for promotion of the movies? Maybe not. What about the fact that his face is on many, many different kinds of merchandise? He should get paid for that. Does anybody know how that works?

Even older is the interview of Steve Kloves from Nov. 2001 that we've talked about in the past: http://www.wga.org/WrittenBy/1101/Kloves/Kloves.html and a feature discussing one writer's experience at the national conference of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators http://www.wga.org/WrittenBy/1200/swimming.html The piece about SCBWI includes the following quotes from Arthur Levine about the popularity of properties labeled "children's books" with Hollywood: "Arthur Levine, J.K. Rowlings' editor at Scholastic and Harry Potter's high bidder ('I paid more than I wanted to') points to timing as a factor. 'It could be that Harry Potter was the first big children's book to arrive during the Internet age.' HP fans are able to spread their love for Harry and his magical exploits in a nanosecond. Word of mouth has become instantaneous and transcontinental faster than one can click reply to all. 'The film industry cares about making movies that everyone will care to see,' adds Levine."
