    Don't worry, there will probably be more in 5-10 years.


    Or a TV show...

    \m/
    Maybe Steven Spielberg will make his short cartoon series of the books, like he wanted.

    I would like to see Spielberg take a crack at his idea. It would be cool to get different "attempts" at translating Harry Potter to screen, whether it's a different direction, animated, whatever.

    The more HP in my life the better.

    Not going to happen, nor should it... give these one's time to settle in, instead of milking them almost immediately after.

    JK didn't like his idea the first time round, so who is to say that will be changed by now?

    Agreed. 20 yrs should do it.

    Perhaps 30 years, i've heard, but then again... it was Dan who said that, and not even jokingly, he said that he could play Snape, lol. For me personally, 25-30 will be just about right.

    I dont know about the reamkes tough...for me this will always be the one and only. Yes, with it´s fails, yes, sometimes awful adaptations (ottp) but at the end...these are the ones that will bring memories in the future. I doubt I can conect emotionally with remakes as I am conected with the originals...Not even if they are better

    I thought it was made pretty clear in OotP when Neville tells Harry "It's got your name on it" and then we hear the prophecy "The one [Harry] with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches..."

    Nop. We think about it because we KNOW...That was not clear even in the slightest.

    With the amount of material they had, they managed to pick out just the right essentials to tell the story of Harry's struggle throughout OoTP.

    I just asked my brother if he understood, and he did(he only watches the movies, and we barely ever talk HP). So it was pretty clear.

    Sorry, but I think it's rather self-explanatory in the movie. Harry is the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord, so that's why Voldemort wants to kill him.

    No, In fact it wasn't made clear. Before i knew the true details of the prophecy, i didn't really understand that scene either. I mean i understood what it meant, but i wasn't exactly sure who it was talking about. Since Harry was right there looking at it and since it said "approaches" i actually thought at first it was talking about Lucius or Bellatrix since they came into the scene right after that. I'm actually very certain some people were puzzled by it.


    However this was when i first saw the film, now i know the truth ;)

    Maybe some of us will, but i highly doubt we all will... unless there is some kind of a HPF attack being planned.

    by phantom? lol

    btw poa is the best adapted.
  • BaneBane Posts: 9,869 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Nah Order of the Phoenix is by far the best adapted. I say this because the book was full of soooooo much filler and the film trimmed down the fat and got down to business.

    Prisoner of Azkaban is a more efficiently-written book than Phoenix, as is Deathly Hallows. Those two received amazing adaptations, but I don't find the actual books very faulty. I love the Phoenix book but the core story could have been told in like 300 pages.

    The film version rectifies this.
  • Lord StaffordLord Stafford Posts: 27,353 ✭✭✭✭✭
    'Got down to business' didn't prove to be such a good thing, as most HP fans think of it as the worst of the lot, not least because of the poor editing, and quite bad cinematography.

    Well, poor editing and bad cinematography aren't any factors in adapting a book, are they?

  • BaneBane Posts: 9,869 ✭✭✭✭✭
    *shrug* people and their opinions is of no concern to me. You say that a lot of people didn't like it, but in my experience, I know plenty of people who loved it.

    It just comes down to what you've "heard" I guess. People have different experiences.

    And I for one certainly did not think it had bad cinematography at all.
  • Lord StaffordLord Stafford Posts: 27,353 ✭✭✭✭✭
    No, but if OOTP is adapting off of a book, then it is in no way the best. PS trumps it all ends up.

    'I know plenty of people who loved it' well, yes. I'm not talking about the people that i know, i'm talking in general. Even if i was to do so, then i would find them agreeing with me, but not through me changing their own opinions.

    The cinematography to me is the worst of the series by far, it is boring, bland, and directionless... no colour, and the same angles over and over again.

    I agree. I actually love all the rest of the stuff going on in the book, but the movie found the heart of the book and told the true story efficiently.

    By the way. Most like the book =/= best adaption
  • BaneBane Posts: 9,869 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Phoenix also had way better cinematography than Chamber of Secrets and Goblet of Fire.

    Phoenix felt like there was so much more there than the movie gave.. I'm saying I would have loved to personally have a 4 hour long version of that movie... I agree with everything you're saying but I really felt left out of OotP and GoF. I felt like there was another 2 hours in both of those films, but it doesn't matter because I loved the books so that opinion has no cred whatsoever in the cinema world.

    I'll just put it this way: Order of the Phoenix the book was extremely hard to adapt onscreen, but I envision Voldemort when I read as looking like the chapter art of "The only one he ever feared"

    And also I really loved, really really really loved how wise and how powerful Dumbledore was in GoF and OotP, and the films failed there and that's why I feel that way. I really felt cheated on the Dumbledore on screen. I do not include HBP, I love that movie so much.
