The Harry Potter Thread

Anyone a fan?

---

I'm a huge dork which would make that a huge yes!

---

i just watched hpatpoa last night. :) i think huge jackman should have played sirius though... cause i dunno. i just pictured sirius more attractive... and lupin, but whatever. it's all good.

My wife is a big fan

There is an unpublished Potter book called" Harry Potter & The Preparation of H ". A real pain

Seriously, it looks like each film has done less than the preceding one at the box office. The books are still hot but it appears interest in the movies have cooled down somewhat.

I enjoyed all of the books but prefer the first 2 movies over the third one... still excited about renting it though

---

Prisoner of Azkaban is definitely my favorite book, which made the movie all the more crushing for me. (I really enjoyed the stylistic elements, but they underused Gary Oldman! ---and was I the only one origianlly picturing a scruffy Pierce Brosnan as Sirius?)

---

You were deprived.

---

I originally pictures Johnny Depp as Sirius, but that was short lived.
I pictured Geoffrey Rush as Mad-Eye Moody after I saw Pirates of the Caribbean. "Punished we where!" mentally turned into "Constant vigilance!"

---

Well, have you heard they're making a Rent movie with the original Broadway cast?



**kidding! ::ducking the flames::**

Yeah but book 6 and 7 aren't actually out/written yet! It could be another 10 years! Especially with JK being pregnant.

Anyone who is worried that the children will be too old to play their parts need to keep in mind that there are strong rumors that book 6 will be released in June of 2005, meaning there will only be on more book left to write, and need to also remember a network called WB where 20-30 year olds often play high school students, and lets not forget the show that started it all...90210.

Also, POA nearly beat the Finding Nemo record for most DVD sells in one day, so even if the interests in the movies are waning, they still make much more money than the average movie.
I also think that some people are forgetting an important factor that contributed to POA making less money than the other two (although it's really not that much less and was WB's most money making movie of the year). POA opened during the summer, a big time for money making movies with huge budgets in advertisements while the first two opened around Thanksgiving where the competition isn't as stiff (I mean just look around right now).
I think POA did very well considering it opened between the record-breaking Shrek 2 and the record-breaking Spiderman 2.

I'm also of the opinion that Prisoner of Azkaban was an excellent adaptation of the books, and that Cuaron got what JK Rowling's world was all about.

I agree. I love that this film series is turning into a huge party for respected British actors.

---

Huge, huge fan of the books.

The movies were mediocre.
