The postponed Harry Potter film will be released this summer. Have you been jonesing to see it, are you looking forward to seeing it, or could you care less?
What is the title of the film? Like you, I’m also a big fan of the harry Potter series. I just hope that it is as good as the predecessors.
I've enjoyed the Harry Potter movies, but I've not read any of the books. I think I've seen a trailer for the new movie, and I was a little surprised that he didn't look too old now.
Taggart, read the Harry Potter books for sure; they are very well-written. There's a part of me that wishes these books were out when I was younger; they must be even more affecting to kids and teens, not just this grandmama. Funny story: The ending of the Half-Blood Prince is very tragic and sad. As my husband and I like to read books aloud to each other, I was getting very into the story. I had my kleenex nearby and began to weep as I read (my hubby is used to such phenomena, bless his heart). We got a knock on the door and it was our neighbor, checking to see if everything was OK. Hubby explained I was just reading Harry Potter, and all was well. We could hear our neighbor trying to control her laughter all the way home. Ah, perspective! So, I'm not trying to warn anyone away from the books; normal (?) folk will enjoy the books just as much. There is alot of clever writing to be enjoyed, and lots of laughs as well.
I'm one of those that could really care less, lol. I never got into the books and although I have seen the first couple ones because of the kids wanting to, they're still just not really my kind of thing. I'll eventually watch the rest of the movies, I'm sure, but I'm not all riled up over a new one being released, hehe.
You aren’t the only ones that are not reading the “Harry Potter” books. I think that I would want to see it as a movie then to read it because reading is giving me some headache.
We had a wonderful neighbor who passed away a few years ago in her mid-eighties and she pre-ordered the Harry Potter books. We inherited a couple of her Harry Potter movies, which have her name written on the case, making them even more of a keepsake. I think that one of the actors in the new movie died in a knife attack, didn't he?
I have to put my vote in on the "could care less" section. There are a lot of books I'd like to read and a lot of movies I'd like to see... but none of them involve Harry Potter.
The books are pleasant diversions, and like most fables, they have some messages in them that serve to inspire courage, loyalty and curiosity. Most kids I know who have read them told me the stories spoke to them in subtle ways about the sense of isolation that middle-schoolers and high schoolers can go through at that age.
If reading gave me a headache, I'd get myself to the eye doctors' double-quick. I can't imagine not being able to read.
I did some research and find out that one of the cast died last year after making this film. I believe it is Rob who died while trying to save his brother.
I wasn't interested in the Harry Potter books. My youngest tried to get me to read it and I was busy. But I took her to the first movie. When we came home I sat down and read the book......then the second....then I tried to read the third but fell asleep....woke up and kept reading. I was really irritated when I went looking for the 5th book and was told she didn't have it because it wasn't out! We bought 2 copies of each book after that. So yes, we are waiting with baited breath to see the next movie!
That's basically the way we were hooked; went to see the movie and then had to read it all... I don't know if you'd feel the same way, but I read the first Twilight book. The story is about love between a high school girl and a vampire. The book isn't written anywhere near as well as Harry Potter, but it has an arresting quality about it, you want to find out what happens. The girls in my middle school group are all ga-ga about Twilight and I wanted to read it to keep up with them; I wasn't prepared for how much I liked it. Anybody else read it?
It seems to be primarily a girls book. I didn't care for it and quit reading after a few chapters. My wife read it and like it a little. She didn't read the next ones though our girls did. I agree that it is not nearly as well written or engaging as Harry Potter.
I have seen a couple of trailers online for the Harry Potter movie. Has anyone seen them in the theatre yet?
was excited about the very first "Harry Potter", just as I was for the very first "Lord of The Rings" movies. Once I have seen the special affects and have an idea how the story lines will develop, I lose interest. I am sure I will hear all about the next HP from the neighbor's kids, though!
This weekend, on the Family Channel, is a Harry Potter marathon with promos for the new Harry Potter movie. Be there or be square!
