What can you say about the latest movie of Harry Potter. For me, the effects were great and there are more romance than fight scenes.

i haven't seen it yet so i hope its good, the effects have always been good in the other films so i hope this one is the same. Tried to watch it on tv shack but the quality wasn't that great so i'm going to see it at the cinema when i can finally get in


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

Yeah, the effect are really great! But I'm quite disappointed because I'm waiting for great fight scenes.

Yes go see it in the theatre. I like to watch movies online since I don't have $10 for every movie that comes out, only to find out it wasn't that good at all. If a movie is really good I save my money and buy the dvd later. I don't mind the blah quality of the bootlegged movies (I don't condone bootlegging, nor do I buy any bootlegged material, but since it is there and free I might as well see it), at least for the movies that I'm not so sure if they are any good or worth my $10. But Harry Potter definitely is. I saw it the first day it was out, super amazing, great effects, worth the money and time in the cinema!

I haven't seen it yet. I'm waiting to see it at the IMAX, but it's not playing there yet because they are still showing Transformers 2. Hopefully I will be seeing Harry Potter soon! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't seen it yet!


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

I think on IMAX, they will just play it for 12-20 minutes 3D and the remaining scenes will just be simple. That's what I've heard from my friends.


myLot reputation of 88/100. trickiwoo (1931)   ranked 961 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

Yah, that's how the other Harry Potter IMAX movies were. I don't care too much about the 3D since I have monoscopic vision and have trouble seeing in 3D anyway. I just like viewing the movies on the IMAX screen! The quality is incredible!


myLot reputation of 45/100. BambooPanda13 (297)   ranked 729 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

If you listen to the tv ad it quickly says that "selected scenes" will be in 3d. I already thought the movie was amazing enough, especially the opening scene with the flying deatheaters and the camera work was flying through the streets. I was sitting in the very front seats of the theatre and it felt like I was flying around too.=)


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

That's cool! I haven't experienced seeing movies on IMAX. I really planned to watch this one on IMAX but my friends told me to watch it on ordinary cinemas. Anyway, I plan to watch great film with great special effects on IMAX. I am sure there will be a lot movies to be shown there!

I agree there was less fighting, and more of their personal lives, which I think was cute. I have to say that those creatures that crawled out of the water really had me freaked out! lol But that just goes to show how great the effects were. I'm glad they moved the release date up, we already had to wait almost two years. The kids are getting so big, only one movie left!


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

Yes! I think they're getting big as I am too. I first knew about Harry Potter when I was 13. THat's why I'm getting sad for they have just one movie left. A part of my childhood will die with the memories of Harry, Ron and Hermione.

I've been a fairly good HP fan since the first book came out, and I do enjoy seeing the books come to life in the movies...
But my boyfriend doesn't seem to like them much and he's kind of swaying my opinion on them. Haha. I'll probably always be a Potter fan, but I do have to admit, I'm not so in love with them these days.
I personally think the earlier movies were better. Can't wait to see the last ones though!


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

My boyfriend is not into movies, too. That's why he ended up sleeping whenever we get to watch movies. I'll always be a Potter fan. It's amazing how I can't be a Potter addict but when it comes to their movies, I surely watch them!


kaykaygee (70)   ranked 970 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

Hahaha. Well, my boyfriend loves movies, he's just not a big fan of reading books, and I think with the Potter films, you don't have the same respect for the movies if you haven't read the books, y'know?


gracepets (53)   ranked 560 out of 1,379 in harry potter  6 months ago

Yeah, that's right. Let's give justice to the novel. Anyways, potter movies are only remake of the novel. Our imaginations have been the greatest movies of all times!

I heard a lot about the movie not following the book in a lot of places. For example, Harry was supposed to kiss Ginny after the quiddich game but didn't. Also, they're supposed to not remain together for the following book because of the danger and all. I dunno, I liked the poking at relationships bit, but maybe it's because I'm single and understood the whole Hermoine and Harry having a crush on someone who is with someone else. The cave scene was brilliant, exactly as I pictured. Other than that, I didn't remember much of the book so it was nice to see the story again.

I did not care much for it. Especially Dumbledores death scene. Or rather what happed after his death. That fight was like the highlight of the book for me, yet in the movie it went by so quickly and not much happened. There were supposed to be more people in the fight and Hagrids hut was supposed to catch on fire and all that stuff. Also, the interaction between Harry and Snape did not seem as intense. I wish they would have focused a little more on Snape through out the movie too and explain why he is the half blood prince. Also they should have done that bathroom scene where Harry tells Snape his nickname is "Wazlib" or something like that. Not necessary, but that would have been so funny!

I'm usually not one to complain about the movies being different from the books, but this one left me feeling like there should have been more to it.

I know the graphics are awsome. Some scenes are really appealing.But romantic scenes were not as much as you are saying.Even there are less kiss scenes as in the book.And the story moves slowly because the plot for next & the last part is being created.I think its a fantastic movie. Go & see it as many times you can.

I haven't seen the movie yet. Hope the movie is as good as the previous ones. I am very eager to see the movie but some circumstances stopped me from watching the movie.
