  Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Movie Talk from OT site (was Carol's question to new Steve)

  I'm sorry but for whatever reason I can't delete the unnecessary parts and it's too
  late to try figuring out why, but I really like the idea of going thru the books again.
  Please include me in whatever you decide.
  I'm going in for surgery Feb 9th so I'll have at least 4 weeks of re-coup
  time to get back into all this.
  Thanks,
  Andie

  Zanooda:
  I was wondering if it is clear from the movies alone that Harry's
  Patronus is a stag, and why? The movie-makers stubbornly don't show
  Harry's stag, even when they showed other DA members' Patronuses in
  OotP. 

  Potioncat:
  Steve asked about the stag, Zanooda said it wasn't shown, Geoff (I 
  think) said you could see it faintly. But it's been a while since 
  I've watched any of the movies.

  And that made me wonder, is anyone interested in a focused 
  discussions of the HP movies? I was never active here back when the 
  boards were busy, so I don't know if it's been done. But I thought it 
  might be fun for everyone to watch SS/PS and then start discussing 
  it. And when we wind down we would move to the next movie. We could 
  just all start posting, or if the interest is there, we could have 
  something like the chapter discussions at the main site. Maybe we 
  could start next week, if there's an interest--that would give 
  everyone time to watch the movie. Or maybe we could discuss how to 
  carry out the discussions.

  For the movie-only fans, we won't tell you to have a second slice of 
  pie --I mean, we won't tell you that you just must read the books--
  but many of us will bring our bookish opinions to our discussion. 
  Much like we brought our knowledge of factual John Adams to the 
  thread about the miniseries. Some of us really do want to know how 
  the movie-fan sees certain plot points compared to how the book fans 
  see them. 

  So, shall we? When do you want to start? I'll bring the popcorn.
