[HPFGU-Movie] HP deaths Re: Harry Potter Ending

[Barbara Key]

I believe the Glaxy Quest guy who thought he was going to die was based on the Star Trek method of any unnamed red shirt who went down on the away team was doomed to die (usually in the first ten minutes)

Potioncat:

The very friend who convinced me to start reading HP, never read past 

PoA. She found it too dark. It didn't help that her life was pretty 

dark at that time. So she lost interest as I became a rabid 

fan....well, maybe not rabid.



This thread started with death in the HP books. I was thinking that 

movies are written differently than books, and so are movie deaths--

who dies, when they die, how the scenes play out are different. I'm 

reminded of the movie Galaxcy Quest, with the one character certain 

he's going to die because he has neither a last name or a real role. 

Of course that was based on TV-death rules, different agan. Who 

remembers Bonanza? We kids knew any young lady who captured the heart 

of a Cartwright boy was doomed.
