MusicalBetsy here:
At the end of the movie, Hermione comments on how Ron doesn't have a problem with Harry and Ginny being together.  In fact, it's implied that they are STILL together, which in the book, he would have already broken up with Ginny.  Obviously, Ginny is going to be more important in the 7th and 8th movies than she was in the book - she has to be, because she hid the book!  There must already have been a plan in place to have more of Ginny in the last few movies, so they had her do something that only SHE could help with in the last movie...meaning Harry couldn't break up with her.  But I agree with many others...it's just wrong. I too enjoyed Ginny in this movie, but I also missed the climatic kiss from the book, and I HATE it when they mess with the storyline!!

MusicalBetsy, who really would prefer to keep the movie and book lists separate.  Right now, it's so easy to see if there's any new posts about movies on the movie list.  That would be much harder if the two lists merged.

I agree with Carol that the Movie Group should remain separate. As the
release dates
for DH Parts 1 & 2 draw nearer, there will likely be a lot more activity in
this group.

I think all the Potter groups should be consolidated into one group and it should have happened years ago, as soon as book 7 was published. The reason is that the main topic before the last book came out was "What will happen next?", obviously that topic is now dead. The second most popular topic was "What did that actually mean?" well now we know, or as much as we're ever going to know, that topic is dead too. So as anyone could have predicted we now suffer from a huge drop-off in posts. 

We should do everything we can think of to counteract that trend, like encouraging cross fertilization from the movie group, they are after all part of the same Potter phenomena. I mean what is the downside? Do you seriously think we are in danger of being engulfed by a enormous number of Potter related posts?

no.limberger responds:
I like being able to find posts more easily. Keeping topics grouped under
different Yahoo
groups is the only way to do that on Yahoo. Unless the moderators really
believe that
it's time to consolidate, I'd prefer to see the individual groups
maintained. There's no way
to predict whether interest may or may not resume, but there will
undoubtedly be more
interest in the Movie group as DH Part 1 & Part 2 approach.

Subject: New DH article (major spoiler if you haven't read the book!)
Message-ID: <hm1qqp+pl81@eGroups.com>

Has anyone read the article on Snitchseeker.com about the new DH movie? Actually, it's an interview with the set designer for the HP films, Stuart Craig, who says that he cried (silently) when
 

***spoiler alert***


***Stop reading now if you're the one person on earth who doesn't know what happens in Deathly Hallows***


Carol resumes:


the scene with Snape's death was shot. The URL is http://www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/stuart-craig-cried-watching-snapes-death-filming-deathly-hallows-71172/

Talk about a spoiler--it's not just in the headline, it's in the URL itself!

That also gives us an idea of where they are in the simultaneous filming of the two parts of DH. I hope they keep all of Snape's scenes, even the photo in the Prophet of him giving his acceptance speech when he's appointed headmaster.

Carol, realizing that the spoiler alert is probably unnecessary, but you never know!

LOL!  Too funny Brian!

Since when would Voldemort know anything about that nuclear stuff that Muggles use?  I suppose he could try and sneak the information out of Arthur Weasley!  

I'm also eagerly anticipating seeing Alan Rickman's performance in that scene...Though I also know I'll be curled up in the fetal position crying when the last movie's out, just like I was a few weeks before the last book came out!

There were several sad death scenes in the DH book. I imagine that there
will be tears
from audience members when watching each part of DH in theaters.

He got Arthur under the Imperious to find a super-weapon and Arthur 
tried to take it apart as he couldn't see what was clear about it, even 
if it did look new.
That's why he ACCIDENTALLY blows up London and Harry and himself

Although I didn't think much of the sixth film (but then the book wasn't 
my favourite either), like you, I'm really looking forward to the 
Deathly Hallows films.
There's  lot of real emotional stuff in there.  I hope they don't strip 
it out like they did that wonderful scene in Half Blood Prince where 
Fleur declared her love for Bill after he was attacked.

And yet I didn't cry at all when I read the book, though I actually gasped (the first time I read it) when Lupin and Tonks were found dead.  That's why I only read it at home!  Well, almost.

 

Speaking of which, I went to see Percy Jackson and The Olympians' The Lightning Thief a couple weeks ago, and it's an awesome movie!  Way better than the reviewers made it out to be, since they overcompared it in terms of the next Harry Potter.  Now I really want to read the books.

It was a great action movie, but if like me, you'd read 
the books first you'd be highly disappointed.  TLT had 
at least 3 characters (that I can recall) that were cut 
from the film which could, like the HP series, cause 
loads of problem if they continue to film the rest of

Kemper now:
I read the books and, yeah, the screenplay sucked.  But I enjoyed this first movie way more than HP's first one.  

Percy doesn't have a huge or crossover to adult fanbase that HP enjoys, so hopes for a better sequel seems lost.  It's too bad because the series overall is fun, each book is better than the last, and the world just on the outside of our mortal vision is thought out.

I am so sorry Kemper, that is quite unfortunate. I was absolutely enthralled and delighted by the first HP!It was my imagination appearing on the screen. I saw it six times in the theatre and the release of the DVD was the reason I bought my first DVD player.

I did become more jaded and disgruntled when The-Director-That-Must-Not-Be-Named, sacrificed many of the precious moments and nuances created by JKR and sets established in the first two HP films, to indulge his own ham-handed ego. It is a pity that my favorite book was made into my least favorite HP film.

I can see where the movie captured the look of the book, but it missed the feel, the tone and rang hollow for me.

My viewing experience differs.  :D  
So far, HBP is my preferred HP movie.  I'm hopeful the last movies will make for a more satisfying and healthier meal than the book with its tasty but empty calories.

A delicious pun (not quite, but I don't know what else to call it) JKR came up with though.  Another thing-I can't believe I forgot to mention when I originally wrote that email-I was kinda looking forward to Snape's DADA class.  Since Snape always longed to teach that, I'm sure he would have been delicious in the niche he's always felt for, and Alan Rickman would have nailed it.  Not to mention the posters Snape points out to the class: victims of the Dementor's kiss, torture, etc.

I became aware of the Raven Project (a 24/7 hotline for youth re LGBTQ? issues)...when I was teaching a course about Queer Issues in the Schools for our local university. 

Daniel talks eloquently in his interview about his passion for justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth, and how we wants to support the human rights and suicide prevention mission of the Raven Project. http://www.rcaa.org/ysb/stroutrch.html

P.S. Let Dumbledore Marry (should he choose to!)

 

Well, more like should he still have been alive today! ;)  I'm glad Dan is getting involved in this.  I am all in favour of gay rights and same sex marriage, and don't understand why some religious people say gays are evil (mainly because I wasn't raised in that domain).  

 

Charlotte, whose mother thought Dumbledore was gay even before JKR outed him publicly (believe it or not!)

<snip> Another thing-I can't believe I forgot to mention when I originally wrote that email-I was kinda looking forward to Snape's DADA class.  Since Snape always longed to teach that, I'm sure he would have been delicious in the niche he's always felt for, and Alan Rickman would have nailed it.  Not to mention the posters Snape points out to the class: victims of the Dementor's kiss, torture, etc.

Carol responds:

I agree. I love Snape (book and movie) and wish that most of the earlier films hadn't cut his Potions classes, among other potentially great scenes. I would have loved to hear and see him sweeping through the class, making his first-day-of NEWT DADA speech with all eyes fastened on him. I suppose that the filmmakers cut it because they didn't think it was essential to the plot. Alternatively, they may have thought that his horribly realistic posters would push the limits of the PG rating.

Carol, hoping for as much Snape as possible in the two DH films and hoping that they do justice to his final scene

Firstly, on a serious note, I agree with what you say about Daniel and 
the charities.
I can't help remembering Daniel's interview about having Ron as a James 
Bond girl if he was a "short-arse" James Bond (his words not mine)
