My point in bringing this up is because the last time I read it, it reminded me of Socercer's Stone, when Harry was infront of the Mirror of Erised with Quirrell. When Quirrell yelled at Harry/Dan, his reaction seemed more real then acting. When I first noticed it, i said to myself, he must know what it's like to be properly yelled at!LOL peace...real love...

It is already down to two showings a day in the theatres in my area. Anyway, all the main leads were excellentLaura Linny was scary good as Ben's overbearing mum and Julie Walters was the perfect foil in Dame Evie.

Well...I've gotten to the point where I don't really expect any of the movies to be all that close to the books. I see them more as distant cousins of each other. But the POA movie _felt_ closest to being right, as far as I'm concerned (and that's also my favorite among the books), even though they should have explained the Marauders and I wish they'd kept Dumbledore's closing interview with Harry. > Which movie plot omission do you feel most betrays the stories? There are two errors of commission rather than omission that bug me the most: first, in the SS/PS film, the way Quirrell was handled--first, having the turban on and being unable to shake Harry's hand at the Leaky and then the crumbling-into-sand death scene witnessed by Harry (who should then have started seeing thestrals in his second year, not fifth); and then in the GOF movie, the presence of Barty Jr. in the Riddle House dream and the related post-World Cup Death Eater melee. These scenes stand Rowling's original story line on its head--Barty Jr. sending up the mark as a signal to "our old comrades" rather than as a way to make the now-comfortable DEs squirm, and the portrayal of the DEs as a truly powerful force rather than as a bunch of bullies getting their jollies levitating muggles. The mass destruction of the campsites in the movie makes it difficult to believe anyone _wouldn't_ accept that Voldemort was back right then. Who needed Harry's word at the end of the movie? > > What scene in OOTP are you most looking forward to? Well, the Dept. of Mysteries and the battle of course...but I'm really hoping they manage to get Aunt Petunia's springing the secret that she knows about Dementors and Voldemort, too. > I have more but I don't want to overstep my bounds, especially as a > newbie! :o) No problem!

Most of the time the main actors come off very wooden; stand here, say your line, move there, say your line, move on. But, and this is a big BUT (I love saying that), the actors can never be better that what they are given to work with. Take any of the examples you gave for Emma, then realize that those scenes and those lines are in the script, she has no control over that. So, given those scenes and those line, and the extremely little time to build any emotion or suspense for any scene, how else could she have played it. Those scene in your example are devoid of any set-up, and devoid of any real content. So, what is an actor suppose to do? The best they can do is read the lines, collect their pay check, and move on. That's EXACTLY what Gambon is doing! That is why I am eager to see Dan and Rupert in other things. While I didn't see the movie 'Thunder Pants', I think Rupert created and executed a very unique and well developed character in the movie. It was a lame 'fart' movie so there wasn't much room to stretch, but I like the character he created. Dan in 'December Boys' and more importantly the stage play 'Equus' should give us a much better look at the dramatic potential and range that Dan has as an actor. The only way I'll see that play is if I win the lottery between now and then, but I would dearly love to see it. Stage is completely different than the screen, and is very demanding on an actor. Tomorrow I am going to see 'Driving Lessons' with Rupert Grint. Well...no...I'm not going with him to see the movie, I'm going to see him /in/ the movie. He has received some criticizm for his some what 'dog face' 'sad sack' performance, but I don't give much weight to that criticism because that is very much his character in this movie. Still it will be nice to see him in a non-Ron role. So, again, when you get the urge to critisize any scene in any of the movies, consider how well the scene was set up in advance, then consider the lines the actors were given, how much time was spent, and I don't see how you could expect much more than you got.

Which movie do you feel is closest to its corresponding book? I think the first movie was closest to the book. Which movie plot omission do you feel most betrays the stories? One thing I think is no quidditch in Order. There going to have to really pump up quidditch in Half Blood if they want to get Harry and Ginny together. Plus, taking it out of Order takes out Ron making keeper, and the fight with Malfoy that bans Harry and the twins from quidditch for life. Another thing that I don't like is that they've kind of weaken the Ron character in the movies, when he is obviously a lot braver and smarter in the books. What scene in OOTP are you most looking forward to? The Cho story line, until she loses it. The intro of Tonks. Umbridge getting carried away by the Centuars(sp?). The battle scene at the end. Almost more than anything, the part where Voldermort enters Harry so that Dumbledore doesn't hurt him (right, that's why he did that?LOL)....I have a thing about the scar concept, so excuse me.lol peace...real love...

The entire end of Goblet after he returns with Cedric's body is a very powerful bunch of scenes and really sets the tone for the next few books/movies. I mean now all of sudden, Order going to be dark, when no movie goer had gotten the real hint of how dark because at the end of Goblet, Harry was smiling. I think it would have really wow-ed movie goers and they would have really been intrigued to maybe even see the movies in a whole in new light. peace...real love...

My point was that these lines would have been much better had they been said in a more "true to life" way. The way she says them is very much overacted and for that I can not blame the script, as you have done, although as I see it, we can fault the director. If it's in the script you have to say it (or convince the powers that be to accept your changes) but I think you would agree that any one line can be said/ acted in a myriad of ways. It's the director who yells "cut and print" or "cut and let's do it again- this time more (..)". Steve again: So, again, when you get the urge to critisize any scene in any of the movies, consider how well the scene was set up in advance, then consider the lines the actors were given, how much time was spent, and I don't see how you could expect much more than you got. Stacey responds again: Please don't misunderstand! I'm not saying by any means that I do not enjoy the films or that they are devoid of quality acting. I was merely pointing out that EW's acting in the GoF was not my favorite from her. I don't know if it was the director's choice or hers. I think merely the fact that we love the books so much we unconsciously hope the movies could come close to the wonderful images and scenes we've imagined but, as adults, we know only too well that rarely (if ever?) is a film as good as the book. Believe me, if I expected a whole lot more that I got, these movies wouldn't be playing nearly non-stop in my household. Just because you truly love something/ someone doesn't mean you can't be conscious of its minor flaws (and thank God for that or I might not be married hee hee!)

Some of it was passable but a lot was way over the top. I didn't think, "It's not going to work." was the worst, but it definately could have been toned down quite a bit. Through the whole movie I thought, "What the hell happened?? She's a much better actress than this!!

Although I loved the study hall scene, the omitted scene is much more important to the future plot. Stacey: I totally forgot those two points in GoF! And I have to admit, I, too, LOVE the study Hall scene. I think it is perhaps the funniest scene of all the movies to date. Love the way Snape fixes his sleeves first and it's superbly played by all. I have to admit (ducking) that I thought GoF was the worst Emma Watson acting to date. I don't know if it was due to suggestions from the director but there are several parts at which I cringe due to her acting: the singsong "it's not going to work" and "huffs" afterward when the twins try to cross the age line, her teary "whoop" at Harry's return from battling the dragon and the "nevermind, off to bed with you" to Harry and Ron after the Ball. Maybe it's just me but all of these just seem completely overacted. I thought she was loads better in PoA. JMO of course :o) Stacey --------------------------------- Want to start your own business?

Actually, I saw it twice, once at 2:30 and once at 4:30. I though it was a very good movie, though I admit it was hard for Rupert to shine along side Julie Walters. Still he gave a very good performance, and far outshined anything he has ever been allowed to do in Harry Potter. To some extent his character is introverted and repressed, so that somewhat inhibited his general performace, but he /did/ capture the character of Ben very accurately. When he was called on to be repressed inhibited, he did so very nicely, and when he was called on for more emotional moments, again, he was well up to the task. I've notice in both his HP role and his role of Ben in this movie, that his performances are very subtle; tiny things that he does that bring real life to his character. Anyway, I recommend it for anyone who wants a very pleasant way to spend an afternoon or evening.

Bus service is very good through the Uptown area; Lake St and Hennepin being main bus lines for that section of the city. Trivia Note: For those who aren't familiar with Minneapolis (MN) 'Downtown' which is the heart of the city business district is North of 'Uptown' which is a small trendy neighborhood near the lakes. So, 'Downtown' is north, and 'Uptown' is south; only in Minnesota.

If so, I was sorely disappointed. I remember last year I watched the trailer for #4 incessantly, and I doubt I'll be doing the same for what I just saw... if there's a better one, can someone tell me where to view? The one I saw was 1:47, I believe, and basically just shows faces and then words on the screen, with HP music for sound. No dialogue... But to answer Candace, if when I saw them flying low to the ground, I assumed it was when they were arriving at the Ministry, because they were in front of a huge building; at least on the annoying non- dialogue trailer.

Stacey: Yes, I'm sorry to say that this IS the trailer being shown before Happy Feet. I was happy to be able to watch it more closely this time (and without my children screaming, "Look, it's HARRY!!") but I do believe it falls short of my expectations (of course I'd love for it to be about 30 minutes long!!). The trailer is only a minute which is much shorter than some of the commercials they show now before movies (don't get me going on THAT topic). Being that the movie isn't to be released for another 234 days (but who's counting?) and this was so short, I'm wondering if the WB isn't planning to show other OotP trailers shown before different WB films due out in the near future? The possibility of seeing the trailer certainly encouraged me to take the family to Happy Feet and I'm sure I'm not the only one! It would be a pretty good marketing tactic I think!

I noticed I get different effects depending on whether I use Quicktime or Windows. But I have a very dark monitor and can never see much. Yeah, it's a short trailer. I thought it was a teaser trailer which generally comes out a year before. This one is 8 months before. (I think that's right.) So in January there should be a longer one....or is that just wishful thinking? I was just glad the the family that chose seats near me then went as a group to get snacks didn't come back during the trailer. I was actually thinking of how I would prevent them from getting in my way without hurting them. My family is strange. We never miss the trailers!

But Troy was barely watchable, what with their Troy preistesses who could easily be Nicki Hilton in a toga. And Helen as the adolescent boy's wet dream who doesn't have anything interesting to say. The movie was made so much worse by the fact that I just came across a great new fantasy/scifi series called Polis, the first book is A Loop in Time, by Rowena Wright. Awesome...a little reference to Tolkien in a imaginary race of immortals called Ringgolds (mortals are called Saplings, like frail trees), and a reference to Star Trek Next Gen, with the Q-computer which tracks the entire continuum of time and space, sort of like my favorite Q character. Check it out, got some great reviews, like from top Amazon reviewer Harriett Klausner, who called it a "superb complex time-space continuum thriller." Oh yeah, the references to Troy. The Polis series melds the ancient and the contemporary worlds, and Rowena Wright refers to a new book called The Oldest Europeans. What a well thought-out read. But not mainstream, unless you think the masses can stomache the idea the Helen was a monarch and sacred preistess who conferred sovereignty. In other words, she could have been an ugly dog, but she was worth fighting for because she was an ambassador and diplomat in a matriarchal and matrilineal world. The Trojan war was part a long compaign on the part of the patriarchal Greeks to destroy the older cultures of Parthia and Persia,also of the Amazons, their neighbors who lived around the Black Sea. The ancient Greeks didn't have much use for women outside of house slaves and procreation, note Alexander and his tutors the homosexual Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle. Like I said, in light of this well-supported information, Hollywood's attempts to cash in on the current interest in our cultural origins are laughable and crass. Give us something well-done like Jackson's Ring series, true to the background, and yes, dare we ask this, something that opens new cultural doors instead of re-hashing the tried and true action flick? *Diana* dream spinner From valerie.flowe at verizon.net Thu Nov 23 07:31:06 2006 From: valerie.flowe at verizon.net (Valerie Flowe) Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 02:31:06 -0500 Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Spoiler alert!

Didn't want to spoil it for myself, but I simply can't wait till July! - I was so happy to see so much Sirius in this. I've missed him! - They show Harry kissing Cho! - Drawings of Grawp (he looks kind of like the troll in SS) - Drawings of the thestrals. They look great! - Umbridge is going to be terrific in all her evilness! Leaky has shots of poor Harry's hand!! - Can't wait to see the DA practice sessions! - The set of the ministry looks huge!! Much larger than I expected. That final scene between Sirius and Bellatrix (Helena Bonham Carter looks demented!) will be awesome. And I can't wait to see how they make Voldemort 'infiltrate' Harry's body in the MOM near the fountain. - Luna looks prettier than I imagined. I thought she'd have shoulder length bushy hair, but it's very long and very blond. - They showed Snape teaching Harry Legilimency. - I didn't see any footage at all of the Marauders from the past. Maybe they haven't filmed that yet? When is this film scheduled to wrap up? I imagine it probably takes a good 6 months of post production to wrap up movies with so much CG involved. Though I imagine they are doing this all along while they continue to film? What a production! It would be soooo cool to be involved in a film like this!

If you haven't read Book 6, please stop reading here...don't want to spoil it for anyone! I was just thinking about the upcoming movie and how it could potentially give us an insight into Book 7 (provided that the latter isn't released before it, of course!). I'm one who strongly believes in the "RAB=Regulus Black and the locket at 12 Gimmauld Place is the Horcrux theory" and was just thinking that *if* the locket somehow makes it to the screen in OotP this might give more credit to the RAB theory. This is, of course, assuming that they still seek input from JKR (and they'd be insane NOT to!).

Note, this whole 'Extra' segement is only 1:34, so the film clips are hardly more than brief glimpses. http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/videogallery/video/show/568 One thing stood out was I viewed it was a couple of scenes in which Harry is wearing a red bathrobe and apparently NO PANTS. In the first shot, he turns and runs between the House tables in the Great Hall, in the later scene he is standing in front of the large clock pendulum. The first is around 16 or 17 seconds in, and the second is near the end at about 1:30. Maybe my memory is a bit foggy, but where in 'Order of the Phoenix' would Harry have occassion to run around in his bathrobe, and still further and more important, why wouldn't he have his pajama pants on???? Each shot probably last less than a second, so they are very hard to see. For the record, I am avoiding many of the Teaser/Trailer clips, I think it spoils the movie for me. What surprises are left when I've seen every thing? Though, I don't mind people talking about them, as long as I am able to limit what I actually see. It's going to be a long hard 7 months trying to aviod these clips though.

Are we sure that's Voldemort? Maybe it's just one of the Death Eaters at the ministry? I am wondering if the storyline of Sirius being drunk and mean to Harry will be in the movie? At least what they show in the clip Sirius is at the head of the table looking very 'in-charge' of the meeting of the Order. In the book wasn't he usually drunk and somewhat surly at these meetings? Has anyone heard anything futher about the filming of the Marauders backstory? I know they had cast the young actors, but it's curiously missing from the extended Sneak Peek.

I am thinking of that sound when they say "loovly" and other vowel sounds. I wish some of our British list members would get me back up to speed on this. It must always be fun in the UK when casting a film, accents being so different from place to place in such a small place. It seems like a wonderful shorthand way of telling us about characters.

I remember this had something to do with Kreacher too. I automatically assumed she meant the locket in Grimmauld place being a Horcrux.

Generally, they do appreciate her creative input, but she is as surprised as anyone when she sees the final result. As proof, I give you non-invisible horses pulling the carriages. I think that the movie makers have made some serious blunders. The biggest? Killing off Quirrell at the end of the first movie. Go ahead - read the book again. All we learn is that Voldemort left him to die. I firmly believe that Quirrell is alive and well and will return in the last book. I remember reading a quote from JKR after the first movie premier which I can't find right now, where she says that things looked exactly as she imagined, but there were one or two things that bothered her. I bet! Oh well - it's magic. Anything can happen. But expect book 7 to be Harry Potter and the Unexpected Return of Quirrell. You have my word on it.

We were just watching POA (AGAIN!) and I was reminded of a question that I had the first time I saw it. In it, we see Goyle with an apparent arm injury (especially visible in the "Intro to Buckbeak" scene but also another time that doesn't come to mind at the moment). He's also clearly absent from the confrontation between Invisible!Harry and Draco and cronies (although there is another lanky fellow with a girlish yell). My question is if anyone remembers his absence/ injury referenced in canon or if it was perhaps the actor's real injury or something else entirely (i.e. director's way around the actor's pay squabble, scheduling or something)? My English books aren't handy and I refuse to crack open the French POA until I've read up to that point (silly, ain't it?). Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is correct. I think it's correct. He's had a kiss on the cheek before, but not a "real romantic" one until Cho.

Talk is OK, but /look/ is a no-no. I find myself wondering if we will actually get to see the kiss itself, or will it be like the book - getting closer, ...closer, ...closer, ...almost there, ...almost there, ...fade to black?

Well, you would know if you looked at the clips and stills! ;) -- Best regards, Susanne mailto:siskiou at vcem.com From artsylynda at aol.com Wed Nov 29 18:24:06 2006 From: artsylynda at aol.com (artsylynda at aol.com) Date: Wed, 29 Nov 2006 13:24:06 EST Subject: Harry's First Kiss (Spoiler) Message-ID: Yeah, we see Harry's first kiss, and it doesn't look nearly as hesitant in the clip as it read in the book. He seems to have an actual clue about how to go about it, as opposed to the way it read in the book. Of course, the kiss we see in the clips may be "not the *first* one," who knows? And yes, it's a romantic kiss. Dan said it took over 30 takes to get it, and they were nervous for the first few times, but after that, they were used to it. Emma said she planned to be there to watch, and from other things I've read, the whole crew turned out to see Harry's first kiss. (It isn't Dan's first on-screen kiss, since he kissed that woman on "Extras" and he has an actual love scene - or more than one, I don't know - in "December Boys.") In an interview from earlier this year, he said he'd been scheduled to do the kissing scene that day, but "as you can tell, I'm flued up, so she got away from me this time, but I'll get her!" (this latter said with great glee and comic determination.) He's so funny! Our boy's growing up - and quite nicely, too, LOL!

I think it was something to do with the actual person playing Goyle, an injury or something. They were both back and up to speed for GOF if memory serves. There were so many diverting things going on in the film version of POA that I hadn't even thought to mention or aske about the Goyle disappearance/odd unknown boy at SS. How 'bout that crying thing?

Stacey Wootshanks sez: I don't recall which book it's in, but wasn't it Goyle that Scabbers bit on the train on the way to Hogwarts? PoA was the book in which Scabbers was "outed" as Peter Petigrew, so I suspect that's the book in which he bit Goyle. Just a guess though!
