    Quidditch is HBP or Poa for me. I just found the first 2 Quidditch games cheesy. I loved when Ginny scores and takes out two players at the same time. And Ron as Keeper: so funny.
  • RichardRichard Posts: 48,703 mod
    Quidditch is POA definitely aaron,hbp was too short......i like how the dementors come and when hermione screams go harry...whoo hooo....go harry!!!

    Oh and best Dumbledore: HBP. I don't care what people think of Gambon, he was perfect in HBP and PoA. But I'm giving the edge to HBP because he was absolutely brilliant during the Astronomy Tower scene. I couldn't see Harris doing that scene. I liked him in SS and CoS, but he wouldn't fit into the later films. Now only if Gambon was great in GoF, he would be hands down the best DD.

  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    Idk why people didn't like Hooper's score to HBP. To me, SS and CoS sounded EXACTLY the same besides Fawkes the Pheonix. That track was great. PoA was a huge step up. GoF: ehh...it was OK. Tried to be WAY TO EPIC. OoTP was good, nothing amazing. And HBP is my 2nd favorite soundtrack. So powerful and sad.
  • jonny7003jonny7003 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭
    IMO, HBP was the most emotional and very magical too.

  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    I agree with it being the most emotional. DD's Farewell was so amazing. So was In Noctem, Opening, Slughorn's Confession, and Into the Rushes. I loved every single track, even School!. I just thought PoA was more magical.
  • jonny7003jonny7003 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭
    I love POA's score because it had that medieval theme to it, but HBP just about tops it for me. POA's still an incredibly close second and some tracks from Doyle's GOF were lovely like Harry in Winter etc..
  • aaronaaron Posts: 20,950 mod
  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    I loved The Story Continues, Harry in Winter, and Cedric's Death from GoF. Other then that, it was eh.
  • jonny7003jonny7003 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭
    @thisishogwarts Yeah that was about it for me too lol

  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    Lol someone was like "Were you high? 6 was by far the worst"

    Did he see CoS?
  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    I don't agree it needs a Best Picture nom., but it does need a Oscar win in SOME category. Like Cinematography for Eduardo Sierra or Music for Desplat, or most likely: Set Design for Stuart Craig.

  • jonny7003jonny7003 Posts: 3,771 ✭✭
    Stuart Craig definately needs a win. He's superb.
  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    @jonny: I 100% agree. Why he didn't win for GoF is beyond me.

    And I have a feeling DH 1 is gonna get a ton of noms. From Cinematography to Set Design to all the tech stuff and MAYBE score by Desplat.
  • RichardRichard Posts: 48,703 mod

    Ok:

    Wost acting: Bonnie Wright in HBP
    Worst HP movie: CoS- I still like it, but its by far the weakest.
    Worst line: "Their's no Hogwarts without you Hagrid" -UGH! WTF! And evidently Kloves never wanted that line in the movie, but Columbus forced him to put it in the script.
  • dashape80dashape80 Posts: 1,238
    LOL

    Worst acting: All the kids in SS LOL
    Worst HP Movie: SS
    Worst Line: "He was there friend" PoA

    Cheesiest Moment: Hermione and Hagrid's return at the end of COS. Simply unbearable.
    imageimageimage
  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    I agree with that 100% aaron.

    I don't know why people hate "HE WAS THEIR FRIEND!" moment in PoA. I didn't see it as horribly as everyone else does.

    But another bad moment was "I love magic" in GoF. Like really, Kloves?
  • RichardRichard Posts: 48,703 mod
    Haha...i liked the ending of cos wen i was a kid,now its cheesy,but still i like it its not bad at all,i like the music without it it would be stupid......the music is like an important second actor in a film....
    R:,)
  • aaronaaron Posts: 20,950 mod
    I just feel like everybody is treating COS really bad, even me. We just can't emphasize enough that its not a BAD FILM, just the weakest of the bunch. Plus the critics seem to think COS was the third worst behind SS and OOTP.
    imageimageimage
  • RichardRichard Posts: 48,703 mod
    yeah.....COS WE ALL LOVE U!!!!!!!!!!
    R
  • thisishogwartsthisishogwarts Posts: 1,758 ✭✭
    I think once we see (and by once, I mean IF) we see OoTP with the 50+ minutes put back into the film, we can judge it differently. Case in point: Kingdom of Heaven back in 2005 was eh and forgettable. With the director's cut that came out, I can easily say its one of my favorites films. Its like a different film all together. Another point why Ridley Scott films need to be uncut in order to be amazing.
  • RichardRichard Posts: 48,703 mod
    i dont think well ever see the 3 hour ootp:(
