1) Yeah, it was a bit odd, but it could have been a lot odder, if that makes sense? 2) Ah, ok 3) Yeah, it did seem a bit odd. I would think the adults would run after her right away. I mean, she got through the flames. But maybe only underage witches and wizards could get through it until they banished it, or something? 4) Page 595, HBP hardcover (end of "The Lightning-Struck Tower"): "Snape gazed for a moment at Dumbledore, and there was reservation and hatred etched in the harsh lines of his face." So, yes, it is described. In the movie his face looks regretful, not full of hatred. 5) Yes, he was doing something, but he hadn't yet "joined" Voldemort. I think he didn't yet have it, but would have been given it had he succeeded in killing Dumbledore. 6) Alright, I looked this one up. I don't mind spoilers personally. For me, seeing the "in progress/behind the scenes" pictures gets me more excited, and makes the final movie even cooler becasue I get to see the final product, the CGI and stuff, compared to the raw product. I'm into all the behind the scenes/how it's done stuff with film - almost more than the film! This is a picture of the actor who plays Bill Weasley from the set while filming the "Shell Cottage" scenes. It will answer the question. (I don't want to say it flat out, in case you don't want to be spoiled!)
9) I mean the opening scene. The one where the press is surrounding Harry and Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic. The bridge thing was cool though; however, that bridge wasn't built yet during the years HP takes place. Also, side fact, when they first opened the Millennium Bridge, it did sway a lot (not quite as much as that, but a lot for a bridge!) which might be the reason they chose to use that bridge. 10) No problem :) 11) Yeah, the only time we actually "see" Hermione's parents is in the books (though they're mentioned other times) is in CoS, where they meet the Weasley's at Gringotts. Supposedly, they'll be in the 7th film, but I don't know... maybe they'll show the scene with Hermione talking to her parents and sending them to Australia? 15) Yeah, she did only snog Dean in public, but they didn't want it to seem like all the Gryffindor girls aren't modest... plus, Ron is protective over Ginny and it would have made for an awkward relationship between Harry and him; one that would have taken too much time to deal with in the film.
They have a simmilar underlying facial structure.
Yeah, it does make her seem slightly less wacko...
I think they just didn't have much time for that. They're not even in the sixth book all that much either.
I do wish they had kept the battle in, for that's what, in my opinion, really makes harry want to leave Hogwarts. Yes, Dumbledore's death contributes, but the fact that his friends get hurt fighting "because of him" really impacts him as well!
She's actually almost 44. She has a really young face though, so it works. Plus she's short. She was in an episode of Doctor Who as well, she played a young woman in that. She can pull off being young well, in my opinion. The actual age of the actor/actress doesn't bother me, as long as it looks believable!
3) Thats a very interesting thought! Not surprised you thought of it. 4) Ah. Hmmm. That's an interesting difference to make. 6) Yeah I've seen that picture! (I LOVE spoilers lol) And right, so he has the scars.
9) Oh! Rigt! I can't believe i forgot how it started. Cause I thought that was interesting too. Yeah, I wonder if that was filmed before too. swaying bridegs give me the creeps. I watched a video of one that was lterally twisting and then fell in physics but i can't remember the name. 11) Yes, I'm hoping they show Hermione senidng them to Australia. And considering in the books we only get stuff that isn't Harry's pov in the beginning of the book, but we get pov of other people in the movie throughout (with Draco this movie at least), I'd really like to see some of the Hogwarts resistance, like the scene where the three try to steal Gryffindor's sword. 15) I do agree that it would have been hard for them to put in a tension on Ron and Harry's relationship. Just wish it had been done differelty. Meh.
You think so? I think Harry thinks that way too much throughout. I think he starts more to think so in the fifth book.
Ah, hadn't looked it up in a while. I think its brilliant she can do that! Yes, i saw she was in an ep. I started to watch that series, but ive only made it through about half of the first season.
3) And what's that supposed to mean! *overly-dramatic and totally-fake "huff"* 4) Yes, it was. However, Alan Rickman (the actor) hasn't read any of the books, shocking, I know! He has has many lengthy discussion with J. K. though, and he was in fact, apart from her husband, the first/only person to know about Snape background until book 7 came out. He does it, he says, so that he can better do what the director wants, and what is portrayed in the script without being influenced by another source. I can appreciate that, for if he did read the books, it would be hard to do anything other than what the books say, even if the director wanted you to do so. And, even with that "mistake" (which didn't bother me so much, just a tad, mostly for sake of debate!) he does a BRILLIANT job playing Snape! Seriously, he is fantastic! Hell, he even looks a lot like I picture Snape (although, not quite a "hooked enough" nose... but no matter) but more importantly, far more importantly, his mannerisms are DEAD ON! I don't know if it come naturally to him or not, but every-single-little movement, even lifting a finger, is perfectly thought out and completely "Snape" of him! 6) Yeah... he's no disfigured enough in my opinion... but then again, maybe they have him get injured in another fight or something? Who knows *shurgs*
9) No idea how you forgot ;) But, then again, you did have the right "first scene" if you go by the first after the title of the movie! *lol* The bridge you are thinking of is The Tacoma Narrows Bridge - an yeah, that was an engineering FAIL! BTW, I <3 physics :D 11) Well, it's not Harry's PoV precisely: it's third-person subjective and follows Harry, only (with exception of the beginnings) being conscious or in locations when he is. It's hard to write a book in third-person (without being omniscient) and follow multiple people weather or not they're in that location... it just get confusing and busy! On screen, however, it's much easier to switch around :) (Sorry about the literature terminology lecture...) 15) I think it just ultimately boils down to the time constraints. They had to shove the Ginny/Harry kiss somewhere, so they shoved it into scene where the HBP's book is hidden... plus, I kinda like the little background-plot given: why would Ginny know about the "hiding things" room "in" the room of requirement? What the hell did she need to hide?!
Yes, he does think it, but aside from Cedric, there hasn't been much in the way of underages getting really badly hurt (just Ron at the Ministry, and that was greatly overshadowed by Sirius' fate.) With it happening at the school what was to stop them from say, storming a dorm and killing off all the students there? At the Ministry, all who were there volunteered. Most of those in the castle were defenseless and didn't sign up for the fight. I think that that is the straw that breaks the camel's back, so to speak. If he leaves Hogwarts, apart from being able to track down Horcruxes, he won't be attracting danger to those who don't want it/can't defend themselves!
If you can, keep watching Doctor Who, it's fantastic! I like the second (though, technically the 10th) Doctor better then the first (9th) which is who you would have seen. If nothing else, you MUST watch the episode titled "Blink". It's A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!!!! It's wicked creepy, but in a good way. It's like a really fantastic short story, like an Edgar Allan Poe or something. It's a stand-alone, you needn't have ever seen Doctor Who before to appreciate it! *uses the force and Jedi powers* You will go and watch it, you will go an watch it!
3) LOL It's a compliment, honest :) *squeezes* 4) I agree, he definately does a brilliant job! Definately how I pictured too. I'd say the ones who didn't look like I pictured were Ginny (a bit, I guess with her personality I have her hair as more fiery), Moody (who I pictured more like Filch but wuth his eye and all), Peter Pettigrew, and Lupin. But I think they all act great. 9) Ugh I am really forgetful trust me. Ah yes! The Tacoma Bridge! That was one of the more interesting days of Physics, and yet one of the most frustrating because I just didn't understand. It's the only isbject I've ever had real difficulties with. So naturally, I think your crazy for liking it :) 12) Well yes, I think it works much better 'following' Harry through the books. I like the fact that we get to see things that obviously happened but were never described in full detail in the books. And you're right, following too many characters does get too confusing and busy. Yesterday I'd started reading a fic and in teh first chapter there were 9 characters to follow around and I was like woah ok can;t read this. 15) haha what indeed? I finally figured out partly why it bothered me so much! Because in the book, Harry kisses *her* not the otehr way around. Don'tknow why it does bither me, but it just does.
Yeah. I think he really won't let anyone except Ron and Hermione take risks for him (though he probably isnt all that comfortable iwth that either). because he doesn't even like the Order at risk, like when they brought him to the Burrow in the seventh book and they all cam to pair off.
The 10th Doctor was the actor who played Barty Crouch Jr right? I love his energy! LOL episode called "Blink" Got it. :)
3) *hugs back* 4) I think Ginny is good. I agree with the Moody thing (for starters, he has a wooden leg, not metal like they did in the films!) Petigrew is a bit off, his face is too round. I like Lupin though! But then again, I like that actor so maybe I'm bias! :) 9) I love that it explains everything. Plus, it's logical, even if it's hard. Plus, it too is something that was a bit hard for me, and like you, it was the first time I was in a hard class! I was sooooo glad for the challenge! (I get bored wicked easy... if something is a challenge I'm motivated to work on it, other wise I procrastinate big time) 12) Yeah. The best book I've read that follows different people is "My Sisters Keeper". It's first-person, but that person changes each chapter. However, the font also changes with each character which makes it loads easier to keep track! If you haven't read the book, you should. It's sad but really good! 15) Okay, yeah, I can understand that. However, in the movie Harry doesn't know that Ginny has broken up with Dean (I don't think he does anyways) so he doesn't want to go after her while she's still in a relationship! *shrugs*
Yeah, the only reason he let's Ron and Hermione is because he knows he won't be able to convince them otherwise, they're the two people in the world he trusts and most, and he knows their limits and therefore won't ask them to do anything they won't be able to do/will stop them from doing things he knows they can't.
And yes, David Tennet plays both characters :) You seriously need to see that episode. Preferably watch it at night, with the lights out. It's that good! It's perfect creepy/horror without being over the top, and there's no gore. It's all just suspense, but so amazingly well done! I've seen it 7 times, and I still love it!
4) Yeah the first time I saw moody (i think *his* face is too round) i was like hey! what happened to his leg?? His fake leg seemed to Muggle, 9)For some reason ive never needed logic to explain science things. Always in math, but never science. Thats very good that you rise to that challenge! 12) Oh the font changes? That's a cool feature to it. I was thinking about getting it. i'll look next time im at a bookstore then. 15) True. I'd have liked to see more of Dean with Ginny (and by that i mean more than just kissung of course. just talking, or one of those fights in th ebackground you know?)
Yup.And really, he needed Hermione and her smarts :)
Yeah i was looking on imdb after seeing a Dr Who ep on tv and i was like no way he plays Crouch?? and so we popped in the dvd and it was great. i'll *consider* watching it at night if that gives it the best effect. I tend to creep myself out lol.
4) Yep! 9) Logic is awesome. *spock-hand* 12) It's a fantastic book. Sad ending, but really powerful. Be prepared to cry and really feel for all of the characters, because you see everyone's point of view. It's absolutely brilliant and so worth reading. 15) I think it was a time issue, plus they didn't want it to seem like she wasn't into Harry at all, when she had been for forever!
Yeah, Hermione balances it out :)
It really does give it the best affect! Drag a friend over too, it's brilliant!
9) LOL my friend went with her dad to see the new movie cause it was his birthday and it was on opening day and when he did that on screen everyone did it too and it really freaker her out. i thought it was hilarious when she told me.
well I went to the site i normally go to watch the episodes, it was pretty good. But apparently since teh last time i went on their, its time has run out! :( do you have any good places for me to watch it at?
Alternatively, you can go to the UK (or somehow acquire a UK IP address) and watch them all for free on the BBC's website... but only can you do that in the UK... grrr! But, since they offer it on their site, I don't feel so guilty about watching it on youtube ;)
yeah, thanks! i'll watch it when i have time (me bing the biggest procrastinator and school being in a wekk i have a few assignments left to doo...heh) :)
2) Ah, ok
3) Yeah, it did seem a bit odd. I would think the adults would run after her right away. I mean, she got through the flames. But maybe only underage witches and wizards could get through it until they banished it, or something?
