What do/did you like/dislike about the HP series, Movies and Books

Get back on topic.

I'm not obsessed with her, I just like her. And yes, she is going out with some rugby, or is it cricket? Whatever.

Yes, the director/producers butchered the books with the movies but the effects are awesome.

[Raptor_101]

Sure. I love the special effects in the movies. The books were more cinematic than the movies though lol. I think they over dramatized the movies. That's why I really don't like them.

[m0pman]

yer the special effects were great. i loved the quiditch games. imagine the amount of blue screening went into that!!!

trust me, i should know how hard it is.

[theforumist]

The Quiditch games weren't done with blue screens I don't think. I think they did what the makers of The Matrix did. They made CGI models of the characters and animated them with a few live scenes here and there. I know that for the 4th movie they did alot of blue screenning and greenscreening during the 2nd task when it was under water. Man, that would have been fun to be apart of.

[m0pman]

hell yea. me and a mate make a fair few movies. we've done a fair bit of blue screening in our time.

[theforumist]

I think the next movie is going to move kind of slow. There's going to be quite a bit of things talking and not so much action, up until the very end of the book.

[m0pman]

yer. except it will be/should be pretty funny in the parts where fred and george give it to the trunchbull headmistress. i cant remember her name.

[theforumist]

Thats book 5. Fred and George used some of their fireworks things and scared the crap out of Umbridge. Lol. Book 6 nothing really happens.

[Raptor_101]

Yeah. They really don't do that much in the 6th book, but it was quite interesting to read. It sucks that Dumbledore died though.

[theforumist]

Yeah, it was going to die eventually though. I hated the end of the book. It was lame and it was nothing but dumbledore drinking something, lucius killing dumbledore, and a few other events.

[Raptor_101]

Yeah, I agree.

[theforumist]

I'm still going to go see it though. I'm a huge fan and I gotta keep my g33kd0m up. I haven't watched any nerdy movies lately so, I gotta do what I gotta do.

[Raptor_101]

Lol. The last g33d0m movie I saw was Star Wars Ep. III Revenge of the Sith. The beginning is the best part of the movie. Well I would want to see the next HP movie, but hopefully it won't be stupid lol.

[theforumist]

I know, I hope its good.
