Personally I think that 2 movies will be better simply because it will mean that they can cover more. That has been by far the worst they have been doing to the series is cutting out so many of the scenes, and so many of the little bits... which well makes things hard to deal with.<BR/><BR/>I think they should have done something similar for all the other movies, or perhaps done something like LOTR and make the movies really long. Either way, the longer they make it, the more content they can put in, and (hopefully) the happier it makes meChaopsychochickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16496111030059372982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254466597958912432.post-67909425306961058962008-03-14T08:26:00.000-06:002008-03-14T08:26:00.000-06:00I don't mind, mostly.

They can't be how I think they should be in my brains so I'm not too concerned.<BR/><BR/>Hermione is supposed to be /nerdy/. *snarl snap grumble* <BR/><BR/>Okay. My rant's over. ;)Alii Silverwinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903808291841951523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254466597958912432.post-7328801971367270162008-03-13T15:04:00.000-06:002008-03-13T15:04:00.000-06:00I have to take the movies as a whole different sto...I have to take the movies as a whole different story - say, a piece of high-budget fan work - or I get mad at them for leaving the good bits out.<BR/><BR/>Without spoiling anything: <BR/><BR/>Good for them, first. They'd be hard pressed to put all of that monster volume into two and a half hours. I wonder if they'll be putting in elements they've thus far ignored? If so, how do they plan to handle the "new" parts?<BR/><BR/>Then again, there was certainly enough in the last book to make up two whole movies, even leaving some out. I'll go see them both, and I'll be interested to see how Movie!HP plays out. I liked the end of the books well enough.

Though I should hone my criticisms and say: I could live with the cuts they made to PoA, but not to either of the two later movies.Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864531460167523206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254466597958912432.post-24284065622317863312008-03-13T14:04:00.000-06:002008-03-13T14:04:00.000-06:00Argh #1: No spoilers plx.

Hasn't read book yet.<BR/><BR/>Okay, that out of the way: I was <I>extremely</I> disappointed with Prisoner of Azkaban, though I could live with the cuts they made. However, I <I>couldn't</I> deal with Order of the Phoenix: It sucked royal ass in so many ways. Long story short, I ain't planning on seeing any more HP movies. >_<Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864531460167523206noreply@blogger.com
