I think JK Rowling threatened bodily harm to the director if he fucks it up or something.

More like this cash cow is gone after 7, and must be milked for all it is worth.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

No way, the royalties from the books and movies will definitely keep going for a while. Remember "special edition" anything will fly off the shelves every other year.

Is that why they go through so many directors? I hadn't been paying attention and didn't realize until the credits rolled that this one had a different director.

my guess is that it will include things that werent done let ie funeral or character development, no?
or maybe even flashback to bits in the books the movies didn't cover but is somehow important for the ending
myself never read the books, listen to parts on tape
Look, asshole:  Your 'incomprehensible' act, your word-salad, your pinealism...It BORES ME.  I've been incomprehensible for so long, I TEACH IT TO MBA CANDIDATES.  So if you simply MUST talk about your pineal gland or happy children dancing in the wildflowers, go talk to Roger, because he digs that kind of shit

The book is massively long, as I recall.

I wasn't really paying attention when I read it though, except to find out who died, and then drop subtle hints to my Harry Potter loving co-worker.

The movie was okay.  I've never read any of the books and don't have any intention of ever doing so.  One observation I made was this movie, to me, was very reminiscent of LOTR in style.  Especially the color schemes used in landscapes, etc.  Even those creatures in the cave were kind of Gollum-looking I thought.

I had no idea that Tom Felton was actually a folk artist, or that he had 3 albums out.

Didn't like this movie too much. Was my least favorite of the series so far.

* * * spoilers * * *


1. No closure for ANY of the plotlines they've got brewing. What is this, wheel of time?
2. So much sexual tension. Which leads nowhere. They captured all the drama of being a teenager with none of the dry humping.
3. the death eaters weren't really characters in this movie so much as they were placeholders for bad guys. They blew up a bridge and Ron's house - neither of which had any consequences.
4. Why did Harry have to ditch the HBP's book again? It seemed rather abrupt when they were like, "You have to get rid of this book!" and harry was like "okay!" ...did I miss something where they decided the book was bad? Hermoine was clearly jealous of it, but that wasn't a reason for Bland Love Interest girl to insist that Harry ditches it
5. Okay so snape is the halfblood prince. Why is that the subtitle of the movie? Again, maybe I'm missing something here, but there didn't seem to be a lot of build up / development around that
6. Secondary love-interest characters completely disappear once they've been dumped. Ron's chick and the cock dude that hermoine brought to the dance... luckily for these teenagers, their characters simply cease to exist once you've hurt their feelings. Okay, we get one sad-eyed scene from the obsessive chick.
7. Harry had to befriend the new teacher in order to get this piece of information which didn't end up being too important. Dumbledore already knew that there were seven important macguffins and had been collecting them for weeks.
8. Why didn't Harry tell Dumbledore that Snape was bonded to protect Malfoy? He had tons of opportunities to mention this, and it would have affected the ending.
9. For that matter, when dumbledore was about to get knocked off, why didn't he just teleport away like he does constantly in this movie? I also find it slightly odd that a super-wizard who has so much power it seems at times like Deus Ex Machina has no defense against being pushed off a building.



I mean, it was entertaining. But when the credits rolled, my GF and I were both like, "what?"

#9.  Dumbledore was obviously a big Gandalf fan.
