[HPFGU-Movie] Re: Review from advance screening

Thu Nov 3 12:30:20 UTC 2005

yay! got my tix got my tix got my tix!! I took the day off on the 18th to go with hubby. I read the review and it really does not scare me. I am trying to keep an open mind, and reminding myself that movies are ALWAYS different from the books, and to try to enjoy it no matter how much stuff is left out. I actually loved movie 3--I think that Cuaron perfectly captured to darkness of the book and despite the huge gaps in plotline and character development, I thought it was quite beautiful. I will be interested in seeing what Mike Newell has done with movie 4--he's also done a lot of directing for television, so maybe he is good at putting a lot of plot into less time. It will be good to see what my hubby thinks of the movie, since he's only read through book 3. cheers everyone,
-beth

  OK guys...to play the devil¹s advocate here (and because I can¹t wait for
  the movie to come out!) I just want to remind you all that GOF is the
  biggest HP book. They talked about splitting it into 2 films, then decided
  not to. We therefore knew going into this that much would be deleted. I¹m
  the first to admit that I was (and still am) highly disappointed that the
  marauders story was left out of the POA movie. If JKR is consulted by Steven
  Kloves how could that have happened???
  GOF is so incredibly action packed that there is bound to be some good stuff
  left out. I¹m not so bummed about the SPEW storyline going by the wayside.
  Though I¹d like to see Dobby again, that girl elf was obnoxious! I¹m
  wondering how they will change the whole
  Winky-hiding-in-the-bush-when-the-dark-mark-appears?? I¹ve heard they¹ve
  already changed the beginning so that Crouch Jr. is at the Riddle house when
  Bryce gets killed. The director thought it was too vague to introduce him in
  the pensieve. 
  I do wish they had left the touching Molly scene in...and Sirius is my
  favorite character, so they¹d better feature him aplenty in OOP!!!
  That said, I think we need to go into this one expecting a really good show,
  great special effects, improved acting, some interesting new characters, but
  realize it will be an ³abbreviated² version of the GOF book. I intentionally
  did not re-read GOF before the movie because I don¹t want to be bummed at
  how much they leave out.
