Nightwish Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Well I'm re-reading them at the moment, currently on the third, so I can join in any discussion you might have as it is all fresh in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Ooh, I'm re-reading the 6th one the day after tomorrow with my friend so we can talk about it, but I have ALOT of books to read, so I don't know. I'll try my best, it's been such a while since I've read them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I'm on book 4 now, doing a re-read of the series atm, so yeah I'd be in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 This made me laugh loads just now: 'Mad-Eye Moody?' said George thoughtfully, spreading marmalade on his toast. 'Isn't he that nutter -' 'Your father thinks very highly of Mad-Eye Moody,' said Mrs Weasley sternly. 'Yeah, well, Dad collects plugs, doesn't he?' said Fred quietly... Brilliant.

MissWhitlock Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 ROFL, bahaha, I completely forgot about Arthur's obsession with muggle things. And he has like, a poster of how to plug in plugs correctly in his office, LMFAO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atticjnr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Haha, yeah. I think one of my favourite places for parts of the books to take place has to be The Burrow. It's great there! Especially when Fred and George are winding up Mrs Weasley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 BAhaha, yeah, the Burrow is definitely a great place there's news that apparently, in the sixth movie, they're putting the battle that supposed to happen in Hogwarts in the Burrow instead? The battle's happening in the Burrow? What is this?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimera Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 BAhaha, yeah, the Burrow is definitely a great place there's news that apparently, in the sixth movie, they're putting the battle that supposed to happen in Hogwarts in the Burrow instead?

atticjnr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If its true, it just reassures me my dislike for film adaptations is for good reason. They shouldn't be able to just do things like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If its true, it just reassures me my dislike for film adaptations is for good reason. They shouldn't be able to just do things like that.

Nightwish Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 As bad as it sounds, changing stuff like this, and was there a rumour that there was going to be no Dumbledore funeral? I am so looking foward to the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 having no Dumbledore funeral would be stupid, it's one of the iconic scenes of the series, what would they be thinking?? I'm looking forward to the confrontation on the Hogwarts tower and seeing how it all plays out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwish Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I know it would be stupid. They had a whole chapter on it and he is such a big character! I did find a link here http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a130681/producer-reveals-potter-omissions.html and I found the whole interview by searching on google for SnitchSeeker dumbledore funeral (I would link the website but the url gave too much away). While doing my little bit of research (avoiding all forums of Potter fans complaining ) I did find a photo of the students all raising their wands in the air. I can only think that is a tribute to Dumbledore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rach.at.the.disco Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 BAhaha, yeah, the Burrow is definitely a great place there's news that apparently, in the sixth movie, they're putting the battle that supposed to happen in Hogwarts in the Burrow instead? The battle's happening in the Burrow? What is this?! WTF??!! Nooooooooo they can't do that. It's just not right. Anyways how will all those people fit in there? As bad as it sounds, changing stuff like this, and was there a rumour that there was going to be no Dumbledore funeral? I am so looking foward to the film Once again, noooooooooooooooooo. What's the point in doing an adaptaion of the book if they change every thing??!! That's a huge part of the book, they can't just get rid of it, as sad as it may be.

Rawr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Let me repeat this the battle is happening in the Burrow? What the hell is the point or need of that change?? It's stupid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Surely that can't happen? It's impossible! It needs to be at Hogwarts - doesn't make sense anywhere else. I think (nay, hope) that it's just a weird rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I agree with all of you guys. I think Dumbly's funeral is back on though, I heard it somewhere, but we can't be too sure. If it's not there, I will kill David Yates, and then I will kill myself. Not having Dumbly's funeral is DISRESPECT. I KNOW he's a fictional character, but dude. He's GREAT. He's AWESOME. He's...He's dumbly. *cries* ...And just think: they were planning on not putting the battle AT ALL. AT ALL. So I think it's better that there IS a battle. Still though... It's not the same.

MissWhitlock Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I am...SO sorry for the double post but...I just saw this: The Half-Blood Prince director previously said the sixth film is about "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll." He ammended that comment, saying that "it's actually about sex, potions and rock 'n' roll... It's a wonderfully fun, slightly rebellious, quite naughty stage of teenage life. When you're kind of discovering the opposite sex. In the previous film, it was about the first kiss. This film is a bit more sexualized than that. We don't see sex, but it's kind of in there. And the relationships are a bit more complicated and romantic and convoluted. So we're pushing into new emotional and kind of physical territory for Harry Potter, so it's quite playful and fun." from mugglenet.com. PLAYFUL?! PLAYFUL?! Is this guy some sort of CREEP?! It's not... I can't...What is.. UGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 With regard to the fight at the Burrow, my understanding was that the film makers wanted to capture the sense of mounting menace in the magical world and bring it home to the audience, and an attack at the Burrow would be like striking at the heart of the Order and all others that resist Voldy. And remember that JKR has a big say in how her books are adapted, so it will have been approved by her at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawr Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 If they are planning on leaving out one of the monumental scenes of the whole series (Dumbledore's moving funeral) then what else could they possibly be concentrating on? I know it's a relatively long novel to condense into a film, but you'd think that's an important part. Also, this apparent concentration on relationships and teen stuff, we know it's going on, but i'd rather have the main backbone of the story in place and be able to watch that to be honest, i know what teenage life is like, it's not Skins or whatever idk maybe i'm just moaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 It's there, yeah, but come on! It's a kid's movie. I'd rather no sexuality or whatever in the movie. There wasn't much sex in the book anyway. I mean, apart from Ron and Lavender getting it on in front of everyone but that's it really!

Lucybird Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I guess they might put in more Harry/Ginny it's only mentioned in the book really but maybe the films want to make more of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BookJumper Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 *cough* could some lovely person out there help me? As you know, I've only read the first forty pages or so of HP7 + the epilogue - I didn't like the way it was written so I couldn't proceed any further. However, reading all the spoilers in here has intrigued me at least plotwise, so I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to tell me in one big spoiler-wrapped post what the plot actually is? A brief summary of battles/deaths/allegiances/love stories is what I'm after. Thanks you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Throughout the whole book, they're just trying to get the horcruxes, really. They like, go into hiding for a while because Voldie's taken over the ministry and is hunting down everyone who has muggle blood in them and whatever. They managed to find a few, the locket was in Sirius' home all that time, the Hufflepuff cup was in bellatrix's vault in gringotts so they had to break in... There were LOTS of deaths. LOTS. Most happened at the end, in the big hogwarts battle. Death Eaters and imperiused people vs Pretty much everyone else. Twas epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
