I just saw it at a staff showing in work (didn't pay for it and I got to see it before you..ha)

It was really good. I'd review it but it's three in the morning. So I won't.

I will say though, it was a really good watch so get of your arses and see it.

agreed 100%. just saw it. too tired to review. but it's better than the last two that weren't so great like the first two. fuck i'm tired. g'night.

I didn't like how some things got cut out, that really made the book more exciting, but hell, it was a long ass book, so of course they had to cute some shit out.

I really like the actress who played Bellatrix. What's her name? I've seen her in other things, but I think she played her perfectly.

Luna Lovegood

I wish Snape's memory/flashback thing was longer.

I know! I wanted to see Harry's mom yell at his dad.

Helena Bonham Carter! Yeah, she always seems to be perfect no matter what/whom she plays.


I really liked how they did the secret room. I also thought Luna Lovegood was great.

the scene at the end where dumbledore and voldemort are "dueling" gave me goosebumps it was crazy!

and i think bellatrix is extremely hot, same for tonks ha ha


Oh and the girl who played Luna Lovegood was very talented, she pulled the role off perfect.

I LOVED the movie!! Haven't read the book yet (I'm still working on the fourth,) buit the movie was postivly charming. Sometimes it's almost better to have not read the book first, 'cause then you'd be spending too much time focusing on what they left out or got wrong.

And uh. well, Neville...he's kinda...hot now.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK:

(second on the left, tho he looks a bit too mopey in this pic, but its the best I could find of him from this one so far)

Yeah that was neat!

And Luna is so cute!!

hehehe!!



there are TONS!

so many are cute! Funny, etc:

i'm trying to watch it right now.
it sucks. i mean. i love me some harry potter, but...

it's SO LONG and fucking boring.
which is disappointing.

and i wanted to see the house-elf liberation movement stuff, you know, teach the kids about revolution, unionization, racism, and slavery. and i wanted to see the hogwarts kitchen. they made it seem so magical.

and can Harry please stop being such a predictable brooding dick? i feel like he's the magical tween version of Ryan from The O.C.

but Luna Lovegood, is great. Cho Chang can go cry and die in a corner, harry and luna need to hook up.

after watching it again last night, i think it might be my favorite out of the series so far. the prisoner of azkaban was my favorite up until now. gary oldman as sirius couldnt have been a better choice. i cant believe how perfect luna is in this movie. ooh and the part by the fire after harry and cho kiss makes me feel kind of embarrassed. like too much about harry is being reveleaed. like his romantic feelings. weird!

I reckon it was too horror film. With all the flashing images and stuff. Like a comedy English film. (Shawn of the Dead, Hot Fuzz)


But I loved Luna, I thought she was fantastic. But I liked Tonks as well and I think she should have been in it more.

And I loved the little parts of Ginny in love with Harry I thought that was really sweet.

But I still think it was good. Could have been better but at least people could act.

oh yess yessss yess

order of teh phoenix > prisoner of azkaban > and the philosophers stone > chamber of secrets > goblet of fire

the second time the movie is better than the book (azkaban being a much better movie than book imo).

and luna was delightful, i really feared how that would play out seeing as the girl didnt look like how i imagined her at all. but

and imelda staunton was brilliant as umbridge

I think they cut to many important bits out, but then again, they couldn't leave it all in. I was dissapointed in the film, but it wasn't exactly bad either. I hope the 6th film is better, i really like that book.

umbridge was played brilliantly.
I can't remember the name of the chap who first played dumbledore, although i know he died. But he was perfect as dumbledore. The new dumbledore has never impressed me.

I LOVED Luna in this film!
Ron was very serious in this film.

I think the cho and harry storyline was a bit rubbish. In the book he gets his first girlfriend, whereas in the film it was more of a pointless kiss that went nowhere. They should have shown him getting fed up with her crying over Cedric because he has to move on to Ginny!

i thought the beginning was too rushed, like the whole thing was a montage, but the book was huge so i guess it had to be that way. if they made a 5 hour long, true to the book version of the movie i'd watch it. i thought luna lovegood was cute & i was surprised/happy to see that neville is growing out of his fug stage.

I agree that the beginning seemed rushed. The beginning and end of the book were my favorite parts, and the movie totally butchered them. The beginning felt very... abrupt.

I really liked Luna. She's not my favorite character, but I think she was actually well cast.

There was this actor (?) in a lot of the background scenes with Cho, and my friend and I couldn't figure out if it was a gangly girl or a hot emo boy. We thought s/he would be the one who squealed on the DA, but that bit was changed.

NOT ENOUGH RON. Not like he was very vital to the plot even in the books, but all he did in this movie was mumble and mutter, "Yes, Hermione." Rupert Grint can actually act, and the HP movies do not showcase his talent.

Mostly I only watch the movies for Ron. I say I want to compare it to the movies, but... really, it's all about Ron.

i went to see it today. aint really a fan but i thought i should seeing as everyone else was going on about it. i didnt think it was that great but it was better than the others. i would probably prefer it if that hermione girl didnt get on my tits so much. i want to chop off her head

I always had problems with that.
I know he died and that they had to recast, but the new guy never seemed like the kind of father figure the first one was, and that's what Harry sort of feels for DD.
The first guy was Richard Harris, the new is Michael Gambon.
Gambon puts too much drama into the role, where Harris had a subtile comedy to the role.
When Harry was in the hospital wing in the first movie and DD tried that candy and he said "Alas, earwax!" I almost wet myself.

My really long review:

Downloaded a shittty cam version, filmed in the cinema. I just couldn't wait until it was released here. I am going to go see it, and it'll be without the ocasional thumb in front of the camera lens and the weird filming angle and the half-screen.
Anyway, my feeling for the first half of the movie can
