Something that always annoys me about the POA movie is the
way DD introduces Lupin as "R.J. Lupin"--but then is called
Remus by PP near the end...is there anywhere in the books
where he goes by R.J?

I'm re-reading POA right now.  When the kids first see
him in the train, Ron says "who's that" and Hermione
reads from his luggage:  that's "Professor R. J.
Lupin".  But I haven't seen anyone else call him that
at any other time.

I know this is the movie list, but I just want to
comment on re-reading the books.  I have seen the
movies several times each in the last year or two, but
haven't read the older books for awhile.  I am glad to
re-experience the broader and deeper look the books
give to the HP world.  (Ex.  Neville says that Snape
is worst fear in the boggart lesson probably because
Snape had just that morning tried (hoped?) to poison
Neville's toad with a potion that he thought Neville
had botched.)  At the same time, I am pleased to find
scenes in the book that were taken almost verbatim
into the movies.

Cheers,
Catherine

Dumbledore is introducing Lupin to the student body, so  it would be proper 
to introduce him with a formal form of his name.  The writing on the bag is the 
tipoff that he goes by R.J. among those he does  not know well. The students 
are supposed to address him as "Professor Lupin"  anyway, so the fact that his 
first name is not clearly stated isn't that  unusual. Given his proclivities, 
Lupin is quite enough of a hint of his nature.  Including Remus right from 
the beginning would be really obvious! I don't recall  exactly when we knew his 
first name was Remus in the books.

Yes there is. Snape was a classmate of Lupin, so he would
know his real name and when someone sees him calling Remus,
they would have spread the message...

I was just about to post about the clips I saw last night on ABCfamily.  I thought they were only doing it during Prisoner, luckily I was already recording it!LOL  Anyway, for those who have seen it.....AND THIS MAY BE A GOOD TIME TO MENTION SPOILER TO THOSE WHO DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE CLIPS SOOOO.....
   
  SPOILER
  SPOILER
  SPOILER
   
  Ok, did anyone notice the clips that were not in the book?  Of course there will be million of those, the scripts looking altered in more ways then no quidditch.  First of all, Harry and Luna just "hangin' out", what's that about?  I'm refering to the her telling Harry about the Thestrals(sp?), they seem to be alone in the woods, not by the carriages, and it was daytime, and...well you get it.  And really, they don't "bond" until the end of the book when he feels sorry for her about losing her things, etc, yet Dan says her and Harry bond and Evanna say because they are both outsiders and it sounds deeper then in the book.  
  Then there's Sirus at, what looked like, some other train station not Kings Cross, to see Harry off.  First of all he's suppose to be Snuffles and what "lobby" was that?lol
  Bellatrix is not suppose to sexy as Helena want to play her. but Helena does look awesome as a some other evil witch.  But Bellatrix is supposed to be worn out looking and pale.  
  Did anyone notice anything else?

As for the train station - that WAS King's Cross.  I've sat in  that waiting 
room!  But yeah, it was a shock to see Sirius himself rather  than "Snuffles"
 
I enjoyed the clips - I'm just annoyed that we were told (via the  DR 
fansites) that they'd be shown during PoA, so I set the DVR for Dec. 3.   I have a 
lovely recording of PoA which has NO clips in it!!  But in  browsing clips, the 
DanRadcliffe.com site has links to both YouTube copies of  the clips and .wmv 
downloadable files.  The YouTube versions are much  larger, crisper pictures 
than the video files on Leaky.  I'd love to know  what format that is so I can 
try to use that when looking at  videos!
 
I thought it was funny that Imelda Staunton made it sound as if SHE  chose to 
wear pink, when it was in the book that Umbridge wore a lot of  pink.  But I 
didn't see an "Alice band" or any black bows in her  hair.  She doesn't look 
as "toadlike" as I'd envisioned Umbridge.  Oh,  and in some other clip I saw 
somewhere, they changed what Harry had to write in  detention from "I will not 
tell lies" to "I will not break rules" -- what's up  with THAT?!  What a 
strange thing to change!  Yikes.
 
I miss Harry's longer hair.  Dan looks good with his hair  short, but I just 
like both Dan and Harry with longer hair, and Harry's hair  just isn't messy 
at all now - so Molly will have no reason to try to make it lay  down, and that 
was always a scene I enjoyed when reading the book.  I could  just picture 
her using the wet comb on his hair and him shivering as the water  ran down his 
back.
 
Gotta go find my ipod and download those clips!

In the clips I didn't see any hint of Harry's anger, I certainly hope
the movie makers didn't sanitize that part because the scene I most

Jen interjects somewhat dispiritedly,

Don't set out a laundry list of what OOTP "has to have." You will be 
undoubtedly disappointed. Just pretend you've never read the book, go 
at this with a clear mind and enjoy it for what ever David Yates 
decided to do. It was very hard for me, but after Prisoner, I had to 
give up anything but a cursory relationship between the books and 
films. It's possible to make peace with the disparities. After 
watching POA almost twice Sunday, I saw so much more in it than I had 
previously. It's still not my favorite but it intrigues me. Before we 
lost Richard, he promised to talk about the theme of "time" in the 
film. I would really like to explore that if any of you have any 
thoughts.

Lynda, your totally right about Imelda.  I was telling the screen, when she said it, UM YOU DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE! THE OLD BAT WORE THAT ANYWAY!LOL  As for King's Cross, sorry I didn't realize it.  They've never shown the lobby in the movies, so I never thought there was one.lol
   
  Eggplant, your right, I hope they do show at least...and we can't expect anything really but that the three main characters will be Harry, Ron and Hermione...Harry's anger and destruction of DD's office.
   
  Jen, I didn't know Richard.  What "time" thing are you referring too?

Jen here,
Candace,
If you go back to POA, you'll see Harry and that damnable clock 
together at least once but the clock is referred back to often. I can 
watch and count. I had noticed this fact, in conjunction with the 
time-turner thing in the end and this idea of Harry being out of 
time, to get his permission slip signed, that time was closing in on 
him in regards to Sirius finding and possibly killing him, time with 
Lupin (that monthly problem of his) all sorts of references to time. 
Richard, whom you didn't know, often discussed the thematic elements 
of HP in regards to how the directors approached them and before he 
huffed out of here, he'd promised to discuss the theme of "time" in 
POA. I don't pretend to be much of a film expert so I was very much 
looking forward to his take on this idea. I have always had a problem 
with POA, being so conceptually different from the books, not to 
mention truncating things so thoroughly, well I digress. But as I 
said, watching POA Sunday, I sort of let all my previous 
disgruntledness go so I could enjoy the film and I did. So, long 
answer to a short question, but thanks for asking! I am still hoping 
to understand this "time" aspect of POA. Any film buffs out there 
have a handle on this?

Jen, you left out the earliest reference to time in PoA that I can  recall, 
when Marge's beads hit the cuckoo clock and the bird kept coming out and  
cuckooing (even getting hit once, IIRC), LOL!  
 
I'm not a film expert by any means, but I noticed the time stuff  myself.  
Time is a recurring theme in the film shown in many ways.   Cuaron mentioned it 
as something he thought was important.  So Harry being  under the covers in 
the beginning was a metaphor for what young teen boys do  under the covers (not 
studying Lumos spells, that's for sure), showing the  passage of time and 
Harry growing up a bit.  Then there's the cuckoo, and  the frequent bouts of 
ticking clocks we can hear in the background (mostly  during the Time Turner 
sequence, IIRC).  We see the clock tower (which  didn't exist in previous films nor 
in the books) fairly often.  We're  reminded that Buckbeak will be executed at 
sundown, and the kids race to get  there on time to be with Hagrid.  We're 
shown that stupid Whomping Willow  sequence eating the bird or dropping its 
leaves over and over to show the  passing seasons.  Hedwig flying to Hogwarts in a 
snowstorm after Lupin says  he'll work with Harry after the holidays is 
another example (and what part of  "once a month" does Cuaron not get - Lupin 
wouldn't need weeks to recover from  his time as a werewolf or he'd NEVER be 
functional!!)
 
There are loads more examples - I think the Minister of Magic  looked at his 
pocketwatch at one point.  Harry's room is over a train  station, of all 
things, so he has the comings and goings of trains on a regular  basis to deal with 
(with the shaking room and all that - totally  non-canon).  
 
I haven't even watched PoA in ages, yet these are examples I can  think of 
off the top of my head.  I think the numerous 
"time" things  are put in there partly to keep suspense going, partly to give 
a feeling of "not  enough time" and things rushing ahead toward an uncertain 
destiny.  After  all, Harry's a KID and yet he has to deal with Voldemort.  He 
doesn't have  "enough time" to grow up and become a mature, trained wizard 
before dealing  with the monster.  So there's that aspect, as well.
 
Just some rambling thoughts here.  Nothing like what Richard  would do.  Too 
bad he got so huffy.

>From slashfilm.com

Last week we had the opportunity to sit down (separately) with two
great directors, Guillermo Del Toro and Alfonso Cuar?n. We had the
chance to talk to both directors about the missed opportunities and the
finality of Harry Potter.

There is regret in the sense that I loved the books," admitted Del
Toro, who had to turn down an offer to do the third Harry Potter. "By
the time they asked me to do the third one, I was coming out of Blade
2. I didn't want to start doing 2s and 3s and then 4."

Del Toro felt that the first two movies had a much lighter universe
than the books: "And I frankly felt the kids were too... healthy for
me. Not the type of kids that I'm interested in portraying. So I
called the producer and said, 'If you ever wanna kill those kids, I'd
be your guy. In the mean time, if they escape their adventures
unscathed, I'm not interested. Not because I don't like the
universe. I think the books are brilliantly written and very well
researched. I really like that universe.'

Del Toro recommended that his friend Alfonso Cuar?n do the project,
something Alfanso snubbed at first.

"I never read the books or seen the movies so I was kind of arrogant
about it," Cuar?n confessed. Del Toro scolded the director over the
phone telling him to read the book and call him back. "I called him
back and said Man, this is brilliant. And he said 'Yeah, and you have
to do it."

And the rest is history, Alfanso filmed the best Harry Potter film in
the series, and del Toro went on to direct the best film of 2006: Pan's
Labyrinth.

"I think he did a much better job that I would have ever done,"
admitted del Toro. "Alfonso believes in youth much more than I do. I
don't believe in youth. I believe in the extremes: childhood and old
age. Youth is always suspicious to me. I'm 41 and I never went
through puberty, so I'm suspicious of that age range."

So if Harry Potter was to be killed in the final book, del Toro said he
would be interested in making THAT movie if they would let him.

"I don't know if she will do it, and I'm almost sure as shit they
wouldn't offer it to me," laughed del Toro. "It was too glib on my
part to say it, but I really don't think that - It's not exactly
a want ad, you know?"

But Will Harry Potter die in the final book?

"I don't know, I had this same conversation with someone the other day
about that,' said Cuar?n. "In one hand it makes sense, in the other
hand - how do you finish Harry Potter if you kill Harry? What is the
resolution of the tale? How is she going to finish the seven books and
not have an temptation to do an eighth book?" Cuar?n asked. "I don't
know. And that kind of stuff, I have a really good relationship with JK
but I don't mess with that."

Alfanso revealed that JK Rowling called him a few weeks back to
congratulate him on Children of Men: "She really loved Children of Men.
And we started talking and I said that it was a tough process doing the
movie because of the brutality of what you're doing, of what we're
picturing. And then she conveyed to me, 'yes, yes, it's been hard for
me because when you do writing about hard stuff, you have to sleep with
that.' But I don't go into details."

Del Toro thinks some dark times are in Harry's Future: "I'm reading
the books as they come out, and I'm enjoying the hell out of them. I
actually think it's heading to a darker place, the entire saga, and
I'm really happy about that. I'm really happy about that. I think
it's really coming to a place where they're really gonna encounter
darkness."

"How do you create the ending of a saga which is not a downer if Harry
dies?" asked Cuar?n. "And this is the only thing I am certain, that
whatever she does is going to have an amazing kind of spin at the end.
Because she's aware of what Harry Potter is and means in terms of the
collective consciousness of humanity. Whatever she will do, I don't
think it's going to be careless."

Has anyone heard whether or not Lupin/David Thewles has been cut out of 
the Order? I don't see hide nor hair of him in all the movie stills up 
to now. :-(

Also, if they have dropped the Marauders backstory in movie 5? I know 
they've finished the filming; otherwise I'd start a petition! I was so 
looking forward to seeing young Snape, Sirius, Remus, Lupin, Peter   
:-(

Let me know if anyone has a link to this info.

The site to check for movie info is http://www.imdb.com.  David Thewlis 
is indeed listed as Remus Lupin.

Perhaps you mean the Severus Snape/Marauders backstory?  'Snape's Worst 
Memory' was filmed and there are photos of Young!Snape with Harry 
observing the scene.  I believe they are at hpana. Also check the 
official WB movie site.

A "hollow" is a small, cup-like valley.  A "hallow" is an item  that is 
revered (is honored) for whatever reason.  Leaky has a couple of  links that 
explain and discuss it well.  
 
_http://www.mystical-www.co.uk/arthuriana2z/h.htm#HAL_ 
(http://www.mystical-www.co.uk/arthuriana2z/h.htm#HAL)    This site explains the "hallows" of 
Arthurian legend.
 
_http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#scribbulus:essay:230_ 
(http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/#scribbulus:essay:230)    This is an essay that discusses the 
possible horcruxes based on things  represented in Tarot cards.  
 
I found both these articles to be fascinating.  Enjoy!   Oh, and Leaky has a 
discussion forum (several, actually) going on where Book 7  and its title are 
the subject.  Go to _http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/_ 
(http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/)  and  wander around.  Lots of good stuff there, and the forums 
for Book 7 are  linked in a frame in the upper right, I think.  Also, seeing 
Harry in a  Santa hat and beard is worth a visit anyway (on the main page, 
upper  left).
 
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Well if that was NOT supposed to be his first kiss that means

have a 'WET' kiss as in the book....meaning he is crying! Is
that whhy it took him so long or was Dan just playing up
tricks? He is supposed to be a fantastic actor right?

Shirlee replies...
It was not Dans first on screen kiss if thats what you mean, he 
apparently had one on the set of December Boys
-which I am dieing to see!- 
But it usually takes a lot of takes for any scene in a movie. We may 
only see a few minutes when it actually took a day to film. Ahh, the 
wonders pain of editing. 
I was wondering about the emotion in the preview too. He looks pretty 
confident in the few seconds when in fact, JKR had Harry practically 
about to pass out from nervousness. 
Cho is supposed to be crying. I remember that passage well, I even 
felt nervous! Tee hee.
I think Dan is a fantastic actor but he does need more training and he 
will be even better. He has it in his eyes. He can express his heart 
through them,
Not many can. IMHO..
P.S HAVE A VERY HARRY CHRISTMAS! And watch that mistletoe for those 
pesky nargles.

Lots of new things to read and explore.  I found it interesting that 
J.K. Rowling's having mixed feelings about writing the final book in 
the series and that she dreamt about Harry Potter for the first time.

Message-ID: <c7f.35588e2.32c2a21c@aol.com>

Dan doesn't just have a "kiss" in "December Boys" but an actual  love scene - 
he and that girl have an affair in the film, so his kiss with Cho  taking 30 
takes wasn't him being awkward.  He said in an interview  somewhere that it's 
normal to do about 30 takes for some scenes, but he was  putting the "spin" on 
it taking 30 takes in other interviews.  He is a  funny guy.  He did say in 
an interview that he was nervous about it but his  parents were watching, Emma 
said she was going to watch, and the whole crew  apparently turned out to see 
Harry's first kiss.  That would be enough to  make Dan nervous even if he'd 
kissed lots of girls before.  Oh, and he did  kiss a woman in "Extras" as well, 
and seemed QUITE confident about that one (and  this was a grown woman!)  His 
love interest in "Equus" is a 24 year  old woman who's playing "Alan Strang's" 
first teenaged love (of course, he's  messed up mentally, so it doesn't go 
well).  For a boy who only admits to  having one girlfriend so far (as far as 
I've read or heard), he's doing quite  well in the "kissing scene" department!  
LOL!

Message-ID: <emr55b+2im1@eGroups.com>

I think most of us would agree that Harry,Ron and Draco(Dan,Rupert and 
Tom) look good with grown hair.That makes them attractive on screen as 
well as in reality,so instead of cutting their hair they should have 
trimmed it.
Also i think Harry(Daniel) was supposed to have long hair in the movie 
when a whole lot of witches and wizards come to fetch him in the 
beginning of OotP....so why don't the moviemakers stick to that or is 
it that the actors don't stick to that.
Even Hermoine(Emma) is supposed to have curly brown hair but it just 
seems to keep on straightening as movies are coming forth!!!What is 
the possible reason for this?(this does not include the yule ball in 
Goblet of Fire cause she is supposed to have a different hairstyle!)

not that much emotion as J.K. Rowling has put in the book.....but 
shouldn't they be sticking to the book....so I don't think they should

you can find an interview in which D. Thewlis talks about film 5.

Message-ID: <cfa.5c3be8f.32c3f281@aol.com>

I agree, the boys would look better with a bit longer hair, but as  Rupert 
said in an interview for "Driving Lessons" where he was asked about his  shorter 
hair in OoP, "the producers own our hair."  So it's up to the  producers and 
director how each person's hair is done.  Either David Heyman  or the guy in 
charge of hair and makeup (can't remember, sorry) said in a  magazine interview 
a few months ago that they'd cut Dan's hair to make Harry  look older, and it 
does make him look older, particularly when it's neatly  combed, as for the 
trial scenes.  I don't see HOW they could have Harry  Potter with "neatly 
combed" hair, but maybe it just sticks up in the back and  that didn't show in the 
photos, I don't know.  I think Hagrid suggesting  Harry might try combing his 
hair himself (in the GoF film) was a foreshadowing  that they were going to 
"neaten Harry up" a bit.  And at Harry's age, if he  saw Hagrid combing his hair 
for a girlfriend, then when Harry wanted to try to  be more attractive to 
Cho, he'd probably try combing his hair too (and it even  says so in the books 
that he tries to get his hair to lay down before going on  their date together, 
IIRC).
 
As for Emma's hair, I think we're lucky they have it as curly as  they do. 
Only in the first film was her hair "bushy."  I think what they're  doing is 
allowing the characters to grow up a bit more than they're allowed to  in the 
books.  Hermione in the books is such a bookworm, she doesn't worry  much about 
her appearance, and the boys not only don't realize she's a girl  (well, in 
Ron's case, anyway), but most people don't realize she's pretty.   In the OoP 
book, when Hermione tells Harry he should've told Cho he thought  Hermione was 
ugly anyway (when Harry had to meet her in Hogsmeade when he was  supposed to be 
on a date with Cho), he tells her he doesn't think she's  ugly.  I don't see 
how anyone could look at Emma as Hermione and EVER think  she was ugly, even 
with the bushy hair - no buck teeth, for one thing, no bushy  hair for another. 
 I suppose that's the filmmakers' way of making the kids  more attractive to 
the young audience.  I mean, who goes to the movies to  see ugly people???  
 
Dan says he thinks Harry went home in a rage and just chopped off  his hair 
himself.  I think the producers liked how Dan looked after he got  his hair cut 
for "December Boys" (so he wouldn't look so much like Harry Potter,  I 
think), so they kept that look.
 
JMO based on reading a lot of interviews.

more emotion as in the book.....als the 'HESITATION' as displayed by  
both Harry and Cho(Dan and Katie).<<
 
We only see the "lip lock" in the photos we've seen so far.   We've had no 
chance (so far) to see the hesitation and emotion involved  beforehand.  
 
I've read lots of places that it often takes 30 takes to get a  scene right, 
because of having to shoot from various angles, because somebody  coughs or 
sneezes or fluffs a line, or, as often happens when Rupert and Dan do  scenes 
together, gets the giggles.  Doing 30 takes isn't necessarily  because they 
didn't do it right.  
 
The whole point of film acting is to be able to "turn it on" when  the 
cameras roll, no matter how often you have to "turn on" that emotion or  whatever.  
I love to watch behind the scenes films on HBO or on  DVDs.  It's obvious from 
watching such films that actors are very  adept at getting the same emotion, 
the same "freshness" to a scene over and over  and over.  That's how stage 
actors can do the same part for weeks or months  and have the show still be 
excellent for the audience at the end of the run,  sometimes even better then than 
it was at the beginning.  That's  acting.

Dan's an excellent actor no matter what some folks on various  message boards 
think - if he wasn't, he wouldn't have been cast in  "Equus" which requires a 
very serious actor with excellent skills.  In a  stage show, the success of 
the show lives or dies by how good the actors are on  stage.  No amount of film 
fame would make that show a success if Dan wasn't  good in the role, and no 
producer is going to risk his or her reputation on  someone who's a "celebrity" 
rather than an actor with serious skills.  You  don't see someone like Paris 
Hilton starring on Broadway in serious dramas, do  you?  That proves my point.
 
Back to the kissing scene:  Katie may be new to acting, but as  Dan isn't, 
and as he said in an interview, their nervousness over doing the kiss  in the 
first place played well in the scene.  And this wasn't his first  screen kiss, 
either, so whatever happened to make it take 30 takes was most  likely not his 
fault.
 
Hope this clears up your confusion!  :-D

The reason for this is that they don't HAVE to follow the books exactly.

I think most of us would agree that Harry,Ron and Draco(Dan,Rupert and 
Tom) look good with grown hair.That makes them attractive on screen as 
well as in reality,so instead of cutting their hair they should have 
trimmed it.
Also i think Harry(Daniel) was supposed to have long hair in the movie 
when a whole lot of witches and wizards come to fetch him in the 
beginning of OotP....so why don't the moviemakers stick to that or is 
it that the actors don't stick to that.
Even Hermoine(Emma) is supposed to have curly brown hair but it just 
seems to keep on straightening as movies are coming forth!!!What is 
the possible reason for this?(this does not include the yule ball in 
Goblet of Fire cause she is supposed to have a different hairstyle!)

I found this through another list. Is is true?

************************************************

All 'Potter' DVDs to be shelved by 2007



http://www.hpana.com/news.19512.html

Warner Bros. has confirmed to HPANA that it plans to pull all of the
first four Harry Potter DVDs off store shelves by early 2007, with no
announced plans for their return.

Sorcerer's Stone, Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban will
become unavailable after December 29, 2006. Goblet of Fire will follow
suit on February 9, 2007.

First reported by Home Media Retailing Magazineopens in new window,
the move may indicate WB's interest in stoking sales this non-Potter
holiday season, or preparing for newer editions of the films on HD-DVD
or Blu-Ray technology.

Called a "moratorium," the practice is commonplace in the home video
industry. The most notable instigator is Disney, which often locks
away movies in their "vault" to stimulate sales and publicity.

{I can't seem to find the original article they reference so I wonder
if this isn't in fact merely a rumor or misunderstanding. }

The same info is found on amazon.com's pages for the movies. They will
be selling the discs only as long as they have stock left....after
that, it's over.

http://www.amazon.com/Harry-Potter-DVDs-Going-on-Moratorium/lm/R3CR5P779GZZPN

Wouldn't be surprised if a box set of all of them comes out either
soon, or after all 7 have been made. Probably some special editions
too.

This could be part of the trend to release HD-DVDs.  I suspect  they'll 
re-release them as extended versions in high-def.  (I've already  told my hubby 
he's gonna buy those for me!  :-D ).  I imagine it's  also a "market stimulus" 
action, similar to Disney locking things away for a  while.  Now rush right out 
and buy extra copies of each one so you'll be  prepared for them to not be 
available!  (Which is what they want you to do,  actually.)

When I mentioned this to my hubby last evening, he told me  buying HD-DVDs 
would do us no good because we don't have a HD-DVD PLAYER!!   We have an HD-TV 
and an HD-antennae and HD-cable, but no HD-DVD player, which  costs about $1000 
right now.  In a couple of years, the price will go down,  so we'll probably 
get one then.  Until then, no HD-HP DVDs for me!   *sniffle*
