Harry Potter 6 Discussion
I've found that discussing the happenings of the latest Harry Potter keeps me alive during dull moments, so why not have a go? If you're like the series, we could talk about the differences between past books and movies. That's fun, too.

I had my first Harry Potter experience this weekend. My fiancé's friends wanted us to see Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. I've avoided it this whole time because I didn't want to get on the Harry Potter bus with everyone else but it happened. I'm going to borrow the first book from a friend and if it's good I'll by the whole series. Damn young English boys.

Yeah, it's a really good series. I know about not wanting to jump on the bus, but this one is pretty good!

Yeah I didn't like Harry much till I saw the first movie. After that I turned into a junky. I think there is some kinda weird addiction to it. I mean how can kids who can't even read a 100 page book somehow read a book that is like 700 PAGES!

I read a lot.  *in a pathetically proud geek-voice* I read the fifth book in 27 hours, and that wasn't even constant.

I was disappointed with the Goblet of Fire film. It ended too quickly and the sudden turn from Cedric's death to a cheerful goodbye was probably the worst transition I've seen in a major film in awhile. They changed the story, left out Winky and SPEW(I can see why on SPEW though, it didn't add much to the main story).
A realization came to me that they are filming them to be isolated and stand alone movies. This is going to really screw the storyline later as many elements from previous books come into play in the later ones.

True, they did leave a lot of things out. So far, I liked it better than the rest of the movies, but they REALLY should have put the Quidditch World Cup in, and Winky, and seeing the kitchens would have been nice. Also, it is my belief that one of the worst mistakes they made in the movies was to leave Peeves out. Notice he doesn't appear in ONE of them. He adds so much amusement!

I thought they should of put the world cup in too. Personally I liked the First Dumbledore better. Why'd he have to die (Bummer).

Yeah, I did like the first Dumbledore better. He looked more, I don't know... sophisticated, wise, dry sense of humor kinda thing. The new one is kinda too plump, joyous... you get what I mean. lol

well the first is dead, so they cant very well use him can they?
i read most of the books in under 24 hours (seperate and not e constant)
i didnt jump on the bandwagon, i liked it befre most people, i had a first edition of the first but one leaky window and book on the window sill led to disaster  |

Ooooh I'm sorry to hear that about your book. I believe I have a few first editions of several of them, I know I have it for the fourth. I liked it before it got so popular, too. To be a geek, you have to not care what other people think.  I need to find a place to get my fourth repaired, though. When I pick it up, half the pages don't come with it.
