Harry Potter 5 Teaser Poster

Defo fan made they are just images from the other film. I am scared about this film i am sure they will mess it up. I don'#t really like volde
 
It it's anything like the other films (can't speak for GoF - not seen it yet) then it'll scratch the surface of the book but miss out on a lot of important details and plot development. Mind you, if it means cutting out a lot of situations where Harry does nothing but yell at anyone who happens to be near him, then it it won't be a bad thing! :)
 
David Tennant shouldn't and I am certain won't be in Order of the Phoenix as the character he played in Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr, isn't in the book.
 
See I hope they keep that stuff in!! That's why I love that book, Harry isn't Mr-Nice-Goody-Two-Shoes in it!Reality sets in...

They did a pretty decent job with GOF btw.
 
Harry certainly wasn't a Mr-Nice-Goody-Two-Shoes in POA and GOF either but the film version of POA seemed to lose a lot of his anger, and Dan's performance with what little anger that made it wasn't overly convincing. I just hope he's on better form in OOTP.

The closing chapters in OOTP were some of the best moments in the HP books I've read so far. I think it was actually the first time where I felt emotional reading it, but I fear little of this will make it into the film because of time constraints and/or the need to keep the rating at 12A (I really can't imagine the film rating going any higher though.

However, those moments where Harry would lay into Ron and Hermione for no obvious reason got a little tiresome once they were in Hogwarts, and I think there were a couple of scenes where I skipped the dialogue because it was just a repeat of what had been literally yelled earlier. I think there were moments where Hermione could've done with landing one of her trademark punches in his face, but that would probably have killed off the whole mood! :)



I'm going to be renting this when it comes out on the 20th (can't buy it yet because I don't get paid until April), but I've heard that the Dursleys and the Quidditch World Cup are completely absent from the film. Is this true?

I thought the QWC and the consequent riot that followed helped create a really dark atmosphere that permeated through the rest of the book. Not to mention the thoughts of a pitch invasion of leprechauns and veelas beating the crap out of each other!
 
See I thought Dan was very good in POA so we'll just have to agree to disagree there. Does anyone else love how he says 'Expecto Patronum'? Or is that just me?

I agree the closing chapters of OOTP are brilliant. They'll probably cut a lot of Harry yelling at Ron and Hermione as films can't get away with being repetitive like books can, it'll slow the pace down otherwise. They'll probably only have one or two of these scenes.

The Dursley's are absent in GOF but they have a little of the QWC and then the riot which is pretty atmospheric. No Veela and Leprechaun's unfortunately!!!
 
Yeah, we'd better leave it at that. Other boarRAB have usually descended into chaos at this point!



Especially as there can be other ways of portraying Harry's general frustration with being kept out of the loop on a lot of matters.

There is a hell of a lot to cram into the new film, and I don't envy the director/screenwriter responsible for doing it, because they are more than likely to cut out scenes that some people desperately want to see in the film, because of the running time (I can't see the film going over three hours, even though I would be more than happy to see it push four). However, I also hope there isn't too much interference with the character development either, although we'll probably see lines in the book being spoken by completely different characters on-screen again like POA.

...and why do I get the feeling that there will be extensive Harry/Cho moments in the film...? (I'm thinking along the tedious Annakin/Padme moments in SW:Episode III here!)



That's a shame, though I'm glad to hear the QWC and riot still made it (suppose it would've been awkward developing the plot without it). No running battles between the Leprechauns and Veela though... Shame ;)
 
POA is my favourite book and also my favourite film so far. I love the Expecto Patronum moments. It's a bit of a joke in our house that if we're in a tricky situation we'll yell it out :)

I wasn't so keen on GOF as a book so I haven't even seen the film, I'm looking forward to OOTF though. I always think the casting is excellent in these films. My favourite characters are Ron Weasley and Professor Lupin.
 
I thought that Harry was still goody but the random yelling and stuff was down to hormones, the fact that puberty was well and truly setting in, therefore testosterone making him raged and paranoid. I thought that was what JKR wanted to put across, that Harry was being unreasonable and couldn't figure out why - it was teenage hormones? Or have I got it completely wrong?!!!!!!!!!
 
Well I thinka lot of it was hormones but mixed up with all the things he's been through catching up with him. Like some sort of post-traumatic effect, especially after what happened in Goblet of Fire. He's been through a terrifying ordeal and the wizarding world doesn't believe him when he tells them what happened and on top of that he's being kept out of the loop by his frienRAB and Dumbledore, that'd make me pretty paranoid and angry too.

But a great deal of it is teen angst as well, hormones making him unreasonable etc.

This is why its my favourite book, Harry's so complicated and messed up!! Maybe 'not being a goody two shoes' wasn't the best description to use as he's obviously the good guy but it develops his character a great deal and it would have been unrealistic if he hadn't experienced some sort of after effects from everything he's been through, also this is the first story where he makes the wrong decisions, it shows he's not infallible. It's a very different book from the others.
 
Aaah, yes, that sounRAB about right! I love GOF, that was my fave book - it annoys my when people say its a kiRAB book when its clearly not!
