In this case I will really miss Ron's "If we die for them, I'll kill you, Harry!" line :-). I wonder if they intend to show Ron and Hermione's trip to the Chamber of Secrets and the destruction on the cup Horcrux...

Andie: I doubt if they'll show the Chamber of Secrets. It was really just like a side line in the book. JK didn't really make that big of a deal out of it. We aren't so lucky!!

Not much to do over the New Year's weekend, the whether was bitter cold (-15F) and I didn't feel like going out much. So, I sat around and watched videos I had on hand. Started with 'Nick & Nora's Infinite Play List', moved on to 'Superbad'. Then 'Prisoner of Azkaban', 'Sorcerer's Stone', and finally 'Chamber of Secrets'. Of course, when the movie is done, I always view the 'extras' on the DVD. But the one thing I find incredibly annoying is the little interactive games (or what ever you want to call them) they add the DVD. Once you get into them, you can't get out, you either have to stop the DVD completely and start over, or just endure your way through them. So, maybe some people enjoy these little 'adventures' but I hate them, though I wouldn't mind them being there if they gave you a quick way out. Perhaps there is a way out, but I punched very button on my remote and couldn't exit those stupid things. So, it is not so much that they exist, as it is, that once in them, there is really no way out. Very frustrating. Thanks I feel better now.

No.Limberger responds: I tried the games on the original HP DVD's a couple of times. They're not that good. DVD players weren't really designed to be game consoles, so creating a game on a DVD for use on a DVD player wasn't probably worth it. -- "Why don't you dance with me, I'm not no limberger!"

From: HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com [mailto:HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of bboyminn Sent: Monday, December 21, 2009 4:50 PM To: HPFGU-Movie at yahoogroups.com Subject: [HPFGU-Movie] Re: Make that TWO...small problem with the Film - HBP I just thought of something else - The burned the Burrow. Are we going to have a wedding, as well as Harry's birthday there? How can we do that if it burned? Also, isn't that where Dumbledore's Will is read to Harry, Ron, and Hermione? The fight at the Burrow, I can see. Damage to the Burrow as a result of the fight I can see. But the Burrow was SERIOUSLY on fire. I don't see how it can be anything but gutted. Seems another poor choice when you consider what must happen in the following books. I find it hard to believe that the movie makers can have such poor foresight. Again, they may have a plan, they may have a way around it, but it is going to take some pretty nasty plot twisting and turning to resolve something that really didn't need to need any resolving. Just a thought.

Initially there was only HPforGrownups and in addition to canon discussion, off-topic discussion and movie discussion happened there, as well. As the group got busier, it was decided that those topics should be moved to their own groups. Now that the groups are so much slower lately, it's been suggested that they be recombined into the one group again. We would like to know what members think about something like this. Please come to the Feedback group and let us know how you feel: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPfGU-Feedback The List Elves From justcarol67 at yahoo.com Sun Jan 24 19:32:41 2010 From: justcarol67 at yahoo.com (justcarol67) Date: Sun, 24 Jan 2010 19:32:41 -0000 Subject: ADMIN: Discussion about possible changes to the HPfGU groups In-Reply-To: Message-ID: "hpfgu_elves" wrote: > It's been proposed that since all the groups have become quite slow, we should consider condensing them into one group again, the main list. > > The List Elves Carol responds: I've already responded on the Admin list, but I want to point out to members of the Movie group that the group in most danger of being closed down and merged with the Main group is this one. If you want to keep this group alive and/or you agree with me that film and book discussions should remain separate, please do two things. Go to admin (link in the preceding post) and express your views and continue posting here (about the films themselves). Thanks, Carol, who is freezing in a house without heat!

I really missed the after match kiss, a real highlight in the book, although I can understand that it would have been too similar to Won-Won and Lavender. But the thing I really didn't like about the way Ginny was treated was - after the kiss - nothing. She doesn't appear at all. What gives? Harry never seems to think about her again. Any comments?

What about the Room of Requirement scene which I, (like many other members), think really messed up the story line? Or that she cam to Harry's side while he was by Dumbledore's body?

We are between movies, so of course the group will be slow until the next one comes out, that's only natural.

Plus I think Ginny should've been there when Harry talked about leaving Hogwarts to go search for the horcruxes. That would've showed the new intimacy between Harry & Ginny.
