Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part II

Yes, Isaacs is in The Patriot, and he’s an awesome villain.

And yes, Bellatrix yells “We won” in the movie. She doesn’t in the book.

One more week left.

The person who wrote that review DESERVES to be locked in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor for suggesting that Rowling’s books were not edited, and for saying her books were too long. He obviously hates books. At first he seemed to be saying that the movies just had to leave stuff out, but then when he used the words “poorly edited,” I knew that he was hating on the Harry Potter books and should not have seen the film for his perfidy.

Yes, there are some moments that could have been edited better, such as the fact that Dumbledore calls Tom Riddle the last remaining “ancestor” of Salazar Slytherin in the second book, and a couple of slight grammatical/spelling errors in the last one. But overall, the books were very well edited.

Anyway, after that, I know now to distrust all reviews on another count, which is that people who review things like that SEEK TO DESTROY good things, even while pretending to laud it.

It’s one thing to attack something based on fact, but it’s another thing to attack something by making things up. Or that you imagined while experiencing that book/movie, etc.


That said, I was first introduced to Harry Potter in spring or summer 1999, when I was eleven years old. I read an excerpt from the third book in a newspaper, which showed Harry’s first class with Trelawney in the third book, and Trelawney’s prediction that Neville would break one of her pink cups, then having him take a blue one because she liked the pink more. The next time I went to the library, I checked out the only two Harry Potter books they had, the first one and the third one. I read the first one and fell in love with it. I think I only got to the part where Harry is admiring the Firebold in Diagon Alley before I had to return the third one, though.

Anyway, I continued reading the third one when I went to Target, but didn’t actually buy any of the books until December 2002. I got the first, third, and fourth…I think they were out of the second. I did not attend the midnight release party for the fifth one, because I was not so crazy about the series at that time to need the book immediately upon release. I did get it in October of 2003, and read it in about a week. But that one made me hungry enough for Harry Potter that in July 2005, I had to get the newest book at midnight…and the same in July 2007 for the final book. And when I got those books at midnight, I did nothing else but read, eat, and sleep until I had finished them.

Although there are other book series that have midnight release parties, I have not attended one of these, and the only one I know that is coming up is Christopher Paolini’s “Inheritance,” and I doubt that even if I get it then, I’ll be doing nothing but reading it the day it comes out. It does not hold the spell Harry Potter does.

Almost 6 days left.

In six hours it will only be five days left.

And there’s no reason to celebrate this.

As you can see at the end of this video, there is a plea to not let the magic die. But that is what Warner Bros. is willing to allow to happen.

It’s in less than a week :open_mouth:

I can’t believe it! I know I’m a dreamer here, and it’s not possible at all, but I’d love to see Part II win out at the Oscars. No way in the world in will, but in my perfect world it would.

Thatr would be very awesome

I’ll be making Cauldron Cakes for my friend’s Harry Potter themed party that will be on the evening of the premier night.

That’s such a neat idea! Do you know what they taste like at all? I made butterbeer with my friend and it tasted exactly like I thought it would. But I’m not sure what to picture a Cauldron Cake tasting like

Another friend of mine is making Butterbear for the party!

And I don’t know, I haven’t made them before. But the recipe calls for flour, sugar, vanilla, cinammon, ginger. So that should give you an idea.

Mmmm that sounds delicious. Those Hogwartians know their stuff! What time are you getting to the theater? I’m getting there at nine :smiley: I want a good seat, but that’s probably not early enough

Yes. In fact they already fixed that in newer editions.

I’m going at 11:00. I already bought my ticket, so where I’m sitting in secured.

I’ll probably be seeing this next Sunday. My mom is absolutely nuts about Harry Potter so we’ll be trying to see it as a family.

That sounds like fun, I hope you guys have a great time.

This is a pretty obvious retrospective, but oh well…

That was good Spirit thanks. Nhaaaaaaaah! 8D

it’s hard to believe I was 10 when the first movie cam out and now I’m 20.

It’s scary to think that I first read Philosphers Stone when I was 7 :neutral_face: …and now here we are…

I don’t think I Sorcerers Stone till I was about 11 or 12. Maybe later.
