It's official

Jan 02, 2010 09:39

My favorite Harry Potter movie is still #4, Goblet of Fire. I thought maybe #6 had eclipsed it but nope, this week I found out where my affections lie! (Sorry, young Tom, I still love you, though!) I watched one Harry Potter film every day up until New Year's Eve, when I got to the last one ( Read more... )

Yay! It also happens to be the film with the Harry 'do that I like the best (long and shaggy) but I think that's coincidental <3

I agree with you. I prefer GoF to the other HP films, too.

lumy12 January 3 2010, 01:22:57 UTC

Because it has more Lucius time than the others? :D

ascendingflame January 3 2010, 08:57:45 UTC

No, I think both CS and OotP have more Lucius time than GoF. In CS, Lucius has the better lines and in OotP, Lucius has the prettier hair. I guess it must be something else then... hm... ;)

But in GoF you get to see him sucking up to Voldie, at least :D

I guess I have to agree with this one. They removed far too much from the latter films.

...You and your jailbait, Wendy.

I can't remember who on my f-list didn't like #4 at all. I remember it blew me away. (it still baffles me that both my parents didn't like it and haven't liked any of them since... yet they still go see them. They say there's "too much magic" in them, for one thing. *eyeroll* And I think they just don't care for the darker tone)

*huggles jailbait*

...How can a movie about a magical school have too much magic? Its like saying Willy Wonka had too much candy.

lumy12 January 3 2010, 01:57:23 UTC

Exactly!

I think maybe they found some things confusing because they haven't read the books. I think the movies stand pretty well on their own, but... I guess we know a little more from reading the books? It's not like you have to remember what all the spells mean, though. It's pretty easy to see what's happening when you watch.

I dunno. I'm sure they'll annoy me by seeing the final two movies and complaining about them, rather than just staying away because they don't like HP anymore!

I think 6 would have been my favourite if it had turned out anything like the book! Unfortunately they cut all of the good parts. Boo! Five is actually my fav film, which is odd, as it is one of my least favourite of the books--but it works much better on screen.

lumy12 January 3 2010, 01:28:04 UTC

I honestly don't have a favorite book. I've read them through twice now, you'd think I'd have more of an opinion! I wonder if the fact that I'm a slow-as-fuck reader has anything to do with it.

What I really miss from Book #6 is the "I'll be fine, Harry, I'm with you" bit that Dumbledore says. I cannot BELIEVE they left that out of the movie! Perfect passing of the torch right there, nice emotional moment, made me cry upon re-reading and I'd been looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. *le sigh*

zigsternenstaub January 3 2010, 22:59:24 UTC

I'd just have been happy if the half-blood prince was, um, EXPLAINED? AT ALL?

Poor Severus.

That too! *pets Snape*

when we went to see GOF my friend was like hey! lets do these drugs! i thought they were a type of drug that doesnt do much to me, well turns out who KNOWS what they were. needless to say GOF turned into the most drawn out, horrifying, ridiculous event EVER lol. everyne in the theater was drunk so it was okay that my friend kept shouting "Look at hermiones sweet ass!" and when Cho starts speaking i yelled "this movie's been DUBBED!" lol. then my friend and i didnt feel well and stumbled out to the lobby, where they had one of those enormous lines for something, and i threw up in the water fountain in front like 200 ppl lol. then there was some blizzard outside and we coudlnt figure out how to drive so we just drove around the parking lot for hours. but anyway, it's probably a great movie but it was so traumatizing. i was like hiding under the chair and thinking everything was real and totally flipped out at hte cedric part. so basically i cant even think about that movie lol. i liked the last one though.

lumy12 January 3 2010, 15:09:36 UTC

Ha! Maybe it was YOU who didn't like it then, though I don't remember you telling me all THAT. *snort* DRUGS ARE BAD, MMMMKAY?

I'm trying to get my brother interested in watching, but it ain't happenin'. I tried the Emma Watson draw... and I know he loves Alan Rickman... I forgot to mention Cho and that other girl who's in OotP for 3 seconds (Liane?) - ha!

azur_dreams January 3 2010, 22:51:02 UTC

yeh that was the last time i did any as a matter of fact. and i only did it cuz i thought it was something mild, but someobody had given myfriend who knows what. the last one was my favorite though i think they left out key points. i dont understand why ppl wont give things a try! your brother i mean lol.

lumy12 January 4 2010, 00:56:00 UTC

He has it in his head that he won't like it. What a stick in the mud!
