Harry Potter Movie

I went to an 11:15 a.m. show. Get this, we were trying to make the 10:45, but ran a little late. The box office girl told me that the first show SOLD OUT anyway. Can you believe a 10:45 a.m. show sells out?????

At any rate, O-M-G, I thought this one was fantastic!!! So much darker than the previous 3. Certain parts, like the Quidditch World Cup were drastically abbreviated, but it was, once again, so neat to see the images you have read about and imagined.

Personally, I could have easily sat another 30 or more minutes, but they don't make them like Gone With the Wind anymore. Graveyard scene was very moving.

I'll be seeing it again.

I saw it tonight, well, last night (it's 4:14am now) and I didn't realize how LONG it would be! It was great though. Though we missed the last subway and had to call my friend's boyfriend to pick us up.

I would see it again. Preferably earlier next time, and when there are less kids (including teenagers) there.

I saw it two days ago. Considering the Goblet of fire was not my favourite book of hers the movie was really good.

I saw it yesterday and I must say... IT WAS AWESOME!! It's now my favourite of the series (it's one of my faves of the books too). I sooo want to go see it again!

I love how they did Voldemort. They couldn't have picked a better person to play him. Ralph Fiennes played him brilliantly!!

I give it two thumbs waaayyyy up!!

I do think it was a bit much for some of the smaller kids. Its rating for this one is pg13 instead of the normal pg.

That being said, I did enjoy it. Again I am sad that they had to leave so much out, and by doing so change some parts around. I wish they would have thought of doing an extended version like they do for LOTR for those of us who wish they would follow the books a bit more closley. I thought they did zoom through some parts rather quickly and it lost some of the breavity of the situation. (like the short part after the world cup where we are happy and suddenly we are running and then its dark) But overall it was very good.... I will see it again and buy it when it comes out.

Now I really can't wait to see it. I generally wait till the films are released on DVD, because the dubbed versions never seem as good as the original ones, but maybe I'll go see this one in German. Hubby isn't interested (he's watched the first three movies on video/DVD, but hasn't read any of the books), but Erik (our almost 18-year-old nephew) said today that he'd like to see it, but his friends wouldn't be caught dead in a theater showing HP. If he has to escort his old auntie, he has an excuse to go see it. Aren't teenaged boys great for a laugh? "She made me do it!"

if i were in frankfurt id go to the english cinema, but since i live here i will wait untill it comes out on dvd watching it dubbed in german would spoil it.
tricia dont you have some screenings in english there once a week??

One theater is screening the film in English, but very late at night (around 11). I don't like going there because the theater owner (Aussie) is married to a former student of mine (German), and they both say, "Oh, we can't charge you!" I'm uncomfortable with the idea of freeloading.

Tricia, I think I'd make an exception. There are a lot of little subtle funny lines, often snuck in by Fred and George, who delightfully have an ever-increasing role.

We walked up the road last night, for a 9:45 show. Figured we shouldn't be later getting there than 9:00. We were right. Unfortunately, even that wasn't early enough. The ticket holders line was across the plaza to the street.

It was a nice night for a walk. We'll try again probably next Saturday. Really looking forward to this one.

I guarantee that from here on out the movies are going to be PG-13, not to spoil anyone but someone dies in the next 2 and I would think in book 7 as well

I never realized how big HP is.. I have never seen any of them or read the books I'm not really much of a book reader. I think i need to catch up on HP lol

Saw it and loved it, but I'm afraid it's going to be a really loooong wait for the last book.

I loved this one! I have enjoyed all of the previous movies, but have only read the first book, quite a ways back. I just have no time to read lately b/c of school, which I HATE b/c I love reading, and I miss my book time. Anyways, I agree this was much darker and a little scary, but it was wonderful! I remember the night I went to see it, after one of the more intense scenes it got very quite for a brief time, and you could a little girl kinda gasping/hyperventilating (its what it sounded like atleast), I guess from being a little freaked out!

Great movie - Very well done considering the time constraints.

Love it!! Go and see it - Even you skeptics out there!

It's was an awesome movie..A must see that's for sure

It was MINT wasn't it?????

I really loved this movie... My husband and some friends of ours saw it on opening night. I am, however, disgusted with Gambon's portrayal of Dumbledore.

Yeha I preferred the first Dumbledore too..... so sad he passed away

Yep, thats right! I saw it! IT ROCKED! And it wasn't as scary as I thouught1 heck, it wasn't really scary at all to me! ok, maybe alittle bit. And Voldermort was NOT as scary as I thought he would be! Al.l and all, it was hte best movie I've ever seen. and now I shall go into my insane untill the DVD come's out stage, then my insane untill I get the DVD stage.

Happily,
