*manic grin* I AGREE :D:D:D:D:D:D:D "Of course it's not the same as the book. It can't be" Can you just ... I dunno, email that to all my friends? :P they're all in knots cause it's not exactly the same *sigh* <3 Harry/Ginny :D generally loved it, fantastic :D (i just got back from my 2nd viewing ... so if I don't shut up now I might never stop squeeing )

It can't be the same; there's just no way. I view the movies as an "adaptation" of the books, not a carbon copy. I don't think there's much that was left out that actually makes a difference to the story as a whole. A few details that only fans of the books would miss. I am still confused about The Burrow though. Lol.
Personally, I think they've done an excellent job with all the movies so far. They had the potential to screw it up so badly, but they're brilliant. :) I can not wait for Deathly Hallows! I have no idea how they're going to fit it all in and I have a feeling they're going to have to cut chunks out (hopefully some of the deaths?? Lol!). I'm prepared for the "it's not the same as the book!" fail again.
2nd viewing? *jealous* I did try and pre-order the DVD yesterday, but can't yet. Lol. I've put myself on the email list to be notified as soon as pre-order is available! :D
yeah 1 good part about living with my parents is that they need to see it therefore I can go twice :D i looked up pre-ordering the dvds but yeah ... if the website was able to look at me weirdly - it would have. Yes, I do agree - they really could have Screwed this up and they haven't :D. One good thing about making 2 movies out of Deathly Hallows is they can't cut out ... tooo much - I mean it's not a very long book right?? Although, if Lupin, Tonks and/or Fred managed to make it through i would NOT complain!
LOL, not the longest book, no, but there's just so much stuff in it! There aren't really any lulls in the action and I just can't imagine what they could take out.
Totally with you on Tonks, Remus and Fred! And Hedwig... and Dobby...and... *sigh* too many people die in that book. I nearly threw it at the wall several times.
yeah that's true - it's a concise :P since watching the 6th movie, the 7th book has now taken up residence beside my bed - i'm trying to read it again but *sigh* work got in the way this morning. but yes i agree - they can't take much out without completely screwing with it. definitely nearly threw it - but it was better than when I first read the 6th book. My 'wonderful' younger brother had googled the ending, came bursting into my room as i got to like ... 2nd chapter i think, and announced "DUMBLEDORE DIES!" i swear i nearly killed him
Noooooooo!!! You're kidding?? I think I would've been very very close to throttling anyone who did that!
The 5th and 6th books I read all in one day on the day they were released, so I couldn't be spoiled! Lol! The 7th, we got on the day it was released and OH nabbed it first so I had to wait until the next day. He was teasing with stuff like "Oh my god, you'll never believe what just happened!" but I think he knew it was more than his life's worth to spoil me! Lol.
