Thanks Helen. And Last thread. (http://www.fanbolt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49494)

Dear Potter colleagues,

I come here to manifest my concern for the mental health and brain development of a man called Alan Horn, who definitely horned the wrong message today, leaving thousands of people in shock with such a hopeless sound. Best wishes for this poor soul and may we now work to overcome this unfortunate perturbation.

love,
Dany.

Yep, that's about 11 more months. The WB is pure evil. They just knocked Voldemort off the spot of number one on my "baddest villians of all time" list.

danyjoncew
08-14-2008, 07:04 PM
Yes, it's official, Beth. And to think I came here this morning and said something like "yaaay, less than 100 days!", I feel like an idiot now :lol:.

But like I said, lets look on the bright side... we got a freaking early teaser for this movie \o/.

ETA: you're my hero, Mars! I'm writing NOW.

zealousheart
08-14-2008, 07:05 PM
Yeah we've gotta do like an "Everwood" campaign. You know figure out something to send WB's headquarters in mass amounts until they relent.

:lol:, I agree! Evil!

EDIT: Yeah I see, I just checked Leaky:
First, the studio says summer releases are better for "family tentpole" events, and second, they are still feeling the aftereffects of the writers' strike and need the time to make sure the film reaches the widest audience possible.WTH?

And that is a bright side. :)

Cilla

Run upon them with wands and they'll be like WTH. :lol:

I'm shocked too, I mean how COULD they? It's ridiculous! They'll have a huge audience no matter when it's released.

Helen Weasley
08-14-2008, 07:15 PM
No kidding. The HP fandom isn't going to suddenly gain a million more people in the next year and up their profit.

*Twinkle*
08-14-2008, 07:16 PM
And it makes no sense. PoA was released in the summer and that earned the LEAST of all the movies. WTH?!?!?

danyjoncew
08-14-2008, 07:17 PM
Excuses, excuses. It's all about the money and considering this will do well for sure, they are being flat out greedy. Those pigs are probably not even gonna give Subtle Knife a shot because Golden Compass didn't make a lot of money in the US, even if the international gross was HUGE (114th biggest gross of all time). Whatever WB, give us your lies, I'm not buying them.

Helen Weasley
08-14-2008, 07:21 PM
i still stand by what I've said in the past - The WB is out to get us Potterheads.

danyjoncew
08-14-2008, 07:27 PM
And I stand by the world's main law: people will do anything for money. We should all have the movie leaked and watch pirate copies with our friends at home :lol:.

Ok, I've had enough of thinking about this epic fail. I shouldn't even be here, off to a happier world. Night guys.

They definitely don't care about us. Stupid sons of bitches.

Manon
08-14-2008, 08:21 PM
we should just all threaten to go download the movie if it comes out in july 2009. To not go see it in the cinema, so they won't make any money from it. Or at lleast, not as much as they expected.
Post it on LJ communities, tell your friends, whatever. THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED

Helen Weasley
08-14-2008, 08:44 PM
Sounds like a good solution to me. Give them no money....I'll tell everyone I know.

Captain oats 13
08-15-2008, 12:03 PM
Ok guys, STOP!!! I had my big angry moment yesterday but now it's time to calm down. I'm not gonna sign the petition cause 1: Let's face it, what's done is done, and 2: I kinda just wanna deal with it instead of being pissed until July 17th.
We all know WB is a business, they will do whatever they need for money and for money cases, they actually did a good move. Think about it: DK is gonna hit the 500 million mark just in the USA. That's HUGE! They just had this huge blockbuster in 2008, they kicked every studio's ass by far this summer, but they have nothing big for 2009 thanks to the writer's strike. So why have HP in 2008- when they know it's always a huge hit- when they can save it for 2009, and let that be their movie for the summer? So they have good amounts of money both years? It's all business! Though they completely screwed this fans over, (Late notice much?) business wise they did the right thing.

Now don't get me wrong, I am still pissed and upset like hell, (We still have to wait 11 months???) but I am just gonna get over it and perhaps just read my HBP book instead. :shrugs:

Helen Weasley
08-15-2008, 01:19 PM
You have a point...But if they REALLY need it for the 09 season, they can at least put it EARLIER in 09. Say, January first...
i signed the petition.

*Twinkle*
08-15-2008, 01:55 PM
Well, I think the reason why they're putting it out in July, is because their year goes from July to July... so yeah... >< SUCKS! I get it business wise. But they could've let us know earlier.

Screw them.

But man... my Ron... *sighs*

Danizinha
08-15-2008, 04:14 PM
I heard about this last night and was like :wtf:

I'm not angry or anything, but I do think it's really disrespectful to the fans to change dates like that. But oh well...life goes on.

zealousheart
08-15-2008, 06:25 PM
I'd really like to yell at the WB and all but...that's Ginny in the first one. And the Weasleys. And then Ron. AND LAVENDER. Dancing. So yeah their evil plan to pacify HP fans by putting out more pics is totally this close to winning me over.

They should have done it earlier I think though, or in the first place, instead of last minute.

I'm wondering if they want a high traffic time for HP, why not release it around Christmas? And what's their Christmas movie gonna be now?

Helen Weasley

They probably have a ton of flops they can put out for christmas...they don't have to worry about making too much more money, cause of Dark Knight...

It's a good thing I love Dark knight, I assure you. :lol:

08-17-2008, 12:44 PM
Of course it is.
"Why so serious, WB?"

danyjoncew
08-18-2008, 02:54 PM
Serious is the last thing I'd call this decision =D. And LMAO, I went to Oclumencia to see if they changed the countdown and in fact they did. It now says "A LOT OF TIME until HBP" :lol:.

But yeah, next July is the beginning of a new commercial year and they feel pretty safe with 2008 and maybe not so much with 2009 (not to mention they must realize how awful the promotion for HBP was). It's showbiz, the heads behind such choices are thinking about money, and I'm too old to act like that's absurd (even if it bugs me), but this particular move was really screwed up. Strike was months ago, they knew TDK was gonna be big, they know how their other productions are going and they know this fandom. They had time to make this huge decision and still, the announcement from hell hits the public a few after they released a teaser and opening dates, 3 months before it was coming out, with the simple excuse they want to make more money?

We are consuming the product, we are making the buzz, we got promised something and are not getting it for ridiculous, if not disrespectful, reasons. The fans have all the right to be pissed, to complain and respond however the hell they want.

We should get Rupert naked, too!!! Get some Harry and Ron naked time!! KINKY!!! :lol:

BellaBlack
08-19-2008, 12:23 AM
wow wait..Ron nakey is enough for me. Otherwise all the kinky smut will make HP porn :lol: but..it's worth it for nakey time no?

Helen Weasley
08-19-2008, 01:56 AM
Lol, the movie will be part one: the actual book, part two: the porn the audience really wants.
THAT'S the reason they're making it a two parter...it all makes sense now! ;)

I am all for 2 parter porn! :lol:

08-19-2008, 11:42 AM
LOOL

Yeah, I read it was about the lake scene, idk why he should be naked for that. but for the scene on king's cross, yeah, I could see why he would be completely naked for that.

BellaBlack
08-19-2008, 02:30 PM
haha Kings Cross will never be looked at the same. I agree, this is why it's a 2 parter. gotta end it with a bang :lol:

08-19-2008, 06:25 PM
:lol:, yesterday I totally did not realize this was serious. But seriously, the rating of that movie! We'll love it though obviously!

Going with the Naked!Daniel topics, I just saw some speculation that the reason for the push to July is Naked!Daniel coming to Broadway.

BellaBlack
08-19-2008, 06:29 PM
when is Dan going to Broadway then?

Hmm they can still keep it PG-13 it depends what kind of nudity. As long as it's not too graphic or full frontal..they might do object placement tehehe :lol:

zealousheart
08-19-2008, 06:37 PM
The article said he'll be doing it on Nov 21, I'm not sure though the exact dates. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/15/naked-daniel-radcliffe-de_n_119250.html So basically they were speculating its a publicity thing. I don't know but I'm still reluctant to buy the "July will make MILLIONS of dollars more thing." Can it really be that much more profit? Maybe, I know nothing about the movie business.

True, if its in the lake like someone said they could just show his head and such. SKINNY DIPPING!

BellaBlack
08-19-2008, 06:39 PM
I have no idea whats coming out next summer but it's HP I'm sure it'll hold it's own unless another Batman sequel is released :lol: the only movie I know of coming out July 2009 maybe is Ice age 4 or whatever haha.

Captain oats 13
08-20-2008, 12:10 AM
Wait..Harry in the lake? Ron saves him at that part! So...Ron is gonna save him...naked? :drunk: Awkward. Of course, Ron can go skinny dipping as well, and they can have a party. :naughty:

Manon
08-20-2008, 04:42 AM
yeah i read that too, that they dont want HP to be associated with a nekkid Dan

THEN WHY MAKE HIM GO NEKKID IN DH? SRSLY

You're right Manon. WB is stupid.

But I wouldn't mind Rupert and Dan having a skinny dipping party :lol:.

I didn't hear the lake part either..wow..perfect chance for Ron to get nakey :lol:

Manon
08-20-2008, 02:53 PM
but ron doesnt get naked at all, he jumps in with all his clothes still on, he doesnt have time to take off his clothes cause he has to save Harry.

Cilla
08-20-2008, 02:56 PM
well, if Dan's going all nekkid, then I don't see why Rupert can't!

Not that bad, I guess, people are mentioning his character rolling around naked in a steamy sex scene in Cherrybomb :D.

Came here to mention that if the "leaked" scenes don't turn out to be a fanftion, I'll be laughing the whole time. Fail again, Kloves, FAIL.

As for the leaked stuff, didn't we get that Burrow fight scene already Idk if it's legit but I have no idea for the Qudditch..

Captain oats 13
08-21-2008, 05:32 PM
Yeah, we already got the burrow one... I dunno...it doesn't seem that bad to me. Sounds kinda lame as a script, but I have to admit the burrow fight seemed kinda cool. If it is real, we sure as hell don't have to worry bout Ginny being left out- she is in every part!!

BellaBlack
08-21-2008, 09:35 PM
Meh I guess...I didn't like the Burrow scene being added for many reasons but in general it should be a good action scene and I won't judge until I actually see it :D

Captain oats 13
08-21-2008, 10:19 PM
I like having more Bella and Greyback. They totally underused Helen in OOTP, so I am all for Helen having an extra scene in this one.

BellaBlack
08-22-2008, 12:48 AM
that'd be cool. I guess we'll be getting more Bella from the Burrow fight scene. I'm scared to see Greyback but what can I do :lol:

Helen Weasley
08-22-2008, 01:33 AM
:lol: When I first read your post, I was like, they underused me? :lol: Then I realized you didn't exactly mean ME. :lol: *lightbulb*
I'm a little slow, apparently.
I am curious to see exactly what the added Burrow scene is. If J.K approved it, I suppose it must be good.

Manon
08-22-2008, 03:35 AM
it could be real. The burrow fight is real. It might look a little lame on paper, but im sure it will all be awesome on screen

(YAY GINNY)

zealousheart
08-22-2008, 09:21 AM
Yeah if you write down the lines from any of the movies they'd probably seem just as lame but they turn out alright. And the Burrow fight looked awesome on the trailer at least.

:lol: yes yay Ginny. Btw I made a new Ginny thread go post there Manon!

:lol: that was still kinda lame though really funny. And "everything's going to change now" comes to mind too.

BellaBlack
08-22-2008, 01:24 PM
I am probably one of the few who liked the "everything is going to change" cuz I thought it did fit well with the end of GoF how they aren't the same before now that Voldemort has risen and which is proved later on in the series..

As for I love magic..hehe that was cute in the movie but otherwise would've been lame. :lol:

Captain oats 13
08-22-2008, 03:40 PM

Helen Weasley

:lol: I thought "I love magic" was lame all around, in writing, in the movie...I just busted up laughing when I heard that line...Harry would so not say that as he entered the tent. :lol:

Manon
08-22-2008, 05:07 PM
Idk, i kinda liked it. not my favourite line in the movie, but i didnt hate it or anything. It just kinda showed that harry is still a little new to all this and doesn't know everything that magic can do yet

did anyone know that the Ron/birds/Hermione stuff isn't in there supposedly???? Hermione makes some magical wind shift Ron and Lav Lav away :wtf: I can't believe they cut out the birds. I LOVED that scene it was so original I wasn't even a shipper back then :lol:

Yeah, I think that's been posted here before...most of them are awful but some are hilarious.
I really am sad that they're cutting out some of my favorite scenes from the movie. :( I really wanted the birds, and I really want to see Dumbledore's funeral.

BellaBlack
08-23-2008, 03:12 PM
I've read those before :lol:

yeah I am shocked that was a classic moment. the wind stuff is gonna be lame unless it knocks Ron and lav lav out a window or something :lol: :(

Helen Weasley
08-23-2008, 03:52 PM
Ooh! Knocking Lav-Lav out of a window! I love it! :D

I actually heard they were keeping the birds? I remember hearing that somewhere...hmm....

Oh well. Lav-Lav out of the window shouldn't be too bad! :D

Helen Weasley
08-24-2008, 12:53 PM
Well, I hope what you heard is true, cause I really loved those birds. I could just imagine Ron having scars in awkward places from those things attacking him...

Helen Weasley
08-24-2008, 03:59 PM
Aw, man. I wish I wasn't at work, so I could watch it. :(
What's the video of, exactly?

zealousheart
08-24-2008, 04:11 PM
It's a song. Here's the lyrics:
VERSE 1:
Back when I was just a boy, I heard somebody say
That this certain quite amazing book I'd read
Was going to be a movie. Well it made be jump for joy!
And I began to see it in my head.
And as I watched the first film, it was like they'd read my mind.
And I was, admittedly, quite impressed.
And I thought, "Boy, I can't wait! These films will be so great!"
And then, Steve Kloves went . . . and ruined the rest.

VERSE 2:
Movie two was just okay, not as good as the first,
It certainly had its moments, to be sure.
But isn't Ron the one who's supposed to explain what "Mudblood" means?
And at the end, what the hell were they clapping for?
And then came movie three, and Steve, I gotta ask,
I know that things had to be cut for time,
But would it have been asking much for fifteen freaking seconds
To say: "Look Harry, I'm Moony, Sirius is Padfoot, Pettigrew is Wormtail, and your father was Prongs, and we all wrote the Marauder's Map together!" BAM! DONE!

CHORUS:
Oh, why must you suck, Steve Kloves?
Oh, why must you suck?
The only reason Jo hasn't done you in by now
Is that she has the strength to hold it in somehow.
But if it were me, you'd be done after movie three,
Oh, why must you suck?

VERSE 3:
And then came the abomination that is movie four.
I really don't know what Steve Kloves was on.
A friend who had never read the books turned around and asked,
"What the bloody hell is going on???"
Sure, the special effects were great, the acting was superb,
But transitions, Steve, were completely lacking.
Could you have, perhaps, made it maybe slightly more confusing?
And why spend fifteen minutes on the dragon?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Now I'm not a canon Nazi,
I don't mark every inconsistency,
I'm not usually one to make a fuss.
But Hermione doesn't always know it all,
And Ron doesn't always take comedic falls
I think movie four is the eighth Horcrux!

VERSE 4:
Oh, Michael Goldenberg, oh how we adore you.
Movie five was the best movie yet.
You maintained Rowling's characters and stayed true to the plot,
Oh, how I wish you could do the remaining set.
Unfortunately, Steve's coming back, and he's already done his damage.
There IS no attack on the Burrow! It makes no sense!
What are you thinking, Steve? My God, won't you just leave?
Why are you screwing up the Half-Blood Prince?

CHORUS

TAG:
Does anyone besides me
Think movies should reflect the author's dream,
Without worrying about how the damn thing looks?
The man should just be sacked!
But thank God for this fact:
At least he cannot touch the actual books.

He can't, can he? Should we check on that? GUARD THE BOOKS!

CHORUS

Helen Weasley
08-24-2008, 08:30 PM
:lol: That reminds me of the facebook group I created. "I blame Steve Kloves for everything wrong in the world."
:lol:
It's totally true!

BellaBlack
08-24-2008, 08:34 PM
well I'm not sure Lav Lav would get knocked out a window. just an idea :lol:

ugh seriously Kloves does suck >.<

Captain oats 13
08-24-2008, 09:49 PM
Maybe Kloves should be the one going out the window? :hehe:

Helen Weasley
08-25-2008, 12:56 PM
:lol: :lol: Totally throw him out the window!!! :bow:

BellaBlack
08-25-2008, 02:14 PM
Moaning Myrtle can have her way with him once he's thrown out :naughty:

Captain oats 13
08-25-2008, 02:43 PM
:bow:

Kristy=genius

I have my moments! :D

HAHAHA Moaning Myrtle!!! Let him listen to all her happy stories! :hehe:

Have you guys been keeping up with the script guy? Supposedly H/G's first kiss in the ROR (Prob the clip we saw a long time ago) and hopefully kiss again afterwords. He also said Ginny has a very large role and H/G's part of the movie is bigger than the book. What do we think?

BellaBlack
08-25-2008, 03:38 PM
Haha and then Moaning Myrtle can give Kloves to the squid in the lake.

Well I have no issues with the kiss scenes. I still wish they would've kept the original after Qudditch kiss but I'm not that big of a shipper and they've changed everything anyway. as long as they don't have more H/G scenes than the a lot of the other central plots I'm okay..like the stuff they keep with Dumbledore/Snape/Voldermort/etc...I mean we don't have a lot as it is :( :lol: no Gaunts or DD's funeral or anything. I think the movie will have enough of the main romance/action/general plots it should even out but I have no idea.

Helen Weasley
08-25-2008, 03:57 PM
:( I don't like changing it to a ROR kiss. I liked that he kissed her in front of everyone after the euphoria of winning a Quidditch game....to put it in the ROR is just like a Harry/Cho kiss, and I don't like thinking about that. Cause Cho...ew.

BellaBlack
08-25-2008, 04:01 PM
as long as Cedric's pic isn't there still I'm fine too I always found that creepy :lol: I never made that Cho comparison tho that is a good point. Harry needs to stop making out in the ROR period.

Helen Weasley
08-25-2008, 08:29 PM
I know, the ROR is gonna turn into the make out room soon. :lol:
Well, maybe THAT'S what Neville was doing in there in Deathly Hallows...;)

BellaBlack
08-25-2008, 08:54 PM
haha yeah he did go there first. maybe that is where the BAMF started. and oh no..maybe Malfoy,Crabbe and Goyle didn't follow the Trio down there when they went searching for the hortocrux diadem maybe they got mad cuz they got interrupted :lol: :tongue:

Manon
08-26-2008, 04:37 AM
what? no!
I WANT QUIDDITCH KISS DAMNIT!

Helen Weasley
08-26-2008, 07:12 AM
I knew Manon would feel the same way I do about this...
Stupid WB for changing the good things.

zealousheart
08-26-2008, 10:25 AM
:lol:, I agree the quidditch kiss was an amazing scene. And they're scaring me now changing SO much.

Captain oats 13
08-26-2008, 12:36 PM
what? no!
I WANT QUIDDITCH KISS DAMNIT!

I think we are still gonna get it, but it's not gonna be their first one. At least, that is what I have been hearing. Arn't you happy that supposedly Ginny's role is huge, Manon? Supposedly she is very cannon, too.

Helen Weasley
08-26-2008, 01:17 PM
I do like that they're putting her more in the movie, but still...They ought to stick to Jo's book.
there's new pictures from HBP on TLC. you can see them here (http://the-leaky-cauldron.org/2008/8/25/new-photos-of-ron-lavendar-bellatrix-dumbledore-and-more)
If I was at home, I'd save them and post them all...But as I'm at work, I can only do the link.
I like the one of Lav-lav and Won-Won the best. :lol:

BellaBlack
08-26-2008, 01:43 PM
I have been weary of changes for a long time now :lol: I don't like how everything is being switched around and stuff..I hope they stick to the book for SOME of it.

thanks for the link Helen! I only really like the Ron/Lav Lav pics :lol: but I love how some of the calendars have Luna and Tonks/Lupin pics! I think my bday month has young Riddle for one of them tho creepy :( :lol:

Captain oats 13
08-26-2008, 03:02 PM
The cover is horrible. Is anyone sick of that Harry pose as much as I am? He is also so photoshoped he doesn't even look like Dan anymore.

Helen Weasley
08-26-2008, 08:19 PM
:lol: :lol: That's what i thought too, Kristy! He really does look uber photoshopped.

Captain oats 13
08-27-2008, 04:32 PM
It's almost like a computer image rather than a normal photograph. :drunk:

Helen Weasley
08-29-2008, 01:01 PM
Makes me wonder if it is.

Captain oats 13
08-29-2008, 05:12 PM
Whatever it is, it's ugly.

Helen Weasley
08-29-2008, 08:27 PM
Well, it is Daniel Radcliffe. What'd you expect, him to be handsome?


That was a joke. Don't kill me, fangirls. :lol:

Helen Weasley
08-31-2008, 02:07 PM
I'm not caring that this is a double post, seeing as no one's posted for a few days, and I'm uber psyched about this...NEW PICTURE!! :D
Ginny! Ron! Harry!

YEA!!! :dancing:

08-31-2008, 05:15 PM
Aww cute. they all look uber happy and cheesy :lol:

zealousheart
08-31-2008, 05:57 PM
I :heart: that picture. So cheesy but so fun.

Even though the Harry!pose looks photoshopped I love that pic cause it has him with Draco. ;)

Helen Weasley
08-31-2008, 06:20 PM
:lol: It is cheesy. I love it. :D Gotta love HP cheese.

08-31-2008, 06:25 PM
Stupid WB totally killed the hype for me :(. The teaser brought it back and then... I'm gonna send them the anti-depressants bills. But yeah, the "new" pics are cute.

BellaBlack
08-31-2008, 06:27 PM
well yeah there's nothing worth getting excited too much but atleast they are still giving us photos and such :(

Helen Weasley
08-31-2008, 06:38 PM
They should just bring the movie out already...screw this whole waiting for July thing...I want to see it now.

zealousheart
08-31-2008, 06:54 PM
Is it really completely done? Cause if so I wonder if parts will leak before July.

Helen Weasley
08-31-2008, 07:29 PM
It is done, yeah, cause it was ready to be out in November. I'd love for bits of it to be leaked! :D

BellaBlack
08-31-2008, 07:52 PM
It's supposed to be done. I know other nonfilming stuff has to be done but thats it.

Helen Weasley
09-01-2008, 10:58 AM
Yeah, I'm sure there's some sort of CGI thing that still needs to be done, but they have most all of it ready to go...Why hold off, WB, why? :(
Oh. Right. It makes sense by a business standpoint to use it when they need more money...whatever.

danyjoncew
09-01-2008, 02:52 PM
I really, really want it to get leaked and for it to be the worst HP performance yet. I also hope it manages to be the best movie, but with all the leaked scripts, if they are true, I'm starting to lose hope. And since I don't wanna be negative here at all times, I'm just gonna shut up and keep posting on the POT thread when I'm on :D:D:D.

zealousheart
09-01-2008, 04:34 PM
:lol: it's ok Dany.

Despite everything I think it will turn out ok. I mean all the other movies have. But I do hope a few scenes get leaked to tide us over, even though that would probably make it a lot less amazing to finally see.

Helen Weasley
09-01-2008, 07:10 PM
Yeah, that's a good point, Cilla.

BellaBlack
09-01-2008, 09:48 PM
but spread the leaks over the span we have..not all at once or too spread out. I'm not being picky :lol:

zealousheart
09-02-2008, 01:34 PM
Of course not Bella :lol:.

In other news from TLC...
http://media.the-leaky-cauldron.org/gallery/films/HBP/rumorsleaksandothermisunconfirmedthings/normal_hbp_calendar_attackonburrow_001.jpg
ITS THE BURROW ATTACK.
And also...

Okay I think I have bad eyesight..the burrow attack is a cool pic but that's Harry, Lupin?, and...:lol: I thought Mr. Weasley at first but I don't think so.

Haha yay auntie and nephew :D

Helen Weasley
09-02-2008, 03:29 PM
It'd be better if they had clearer pictures...oh well. still cool lookin. Run, Harry, run!

I thought it was Arthur too but I don't know. Well Lupin's there so I guess everyone's just partying at the Burrow.

BellaBlack
09-03-2008, 12:56 PM
It looks like the fellow in the back has a mustache though :lol: :confused: Idk

Helen Weasley
09-03-2008, 07:41 PM
Maybe it's Hilter as an Infieri....Voldemort so would use Hitler's body.
Okay, that came out way more disturbing than I meant it to. :lol:

BellaBlack
09-04-2008, 12:23 AM
Yeah disturbing Helen :lol:

But to be logical, I don't see how an Inferi Hitler would be at the Burrow Fight Scene so that wouldn't work anyway.

Helen Weasley
09-04-2008, 10:53 AM
Well, Voldemort would send the Inferi to attack the Burrow, of course.

BellaBlack
09-04-2008, 12:29 PM
Really? I didn't know that :confused:

Captain oats 13
09-04-2008, 01:52 PM
But...it isn't the inferri at the Burrow. It's a couple death eaters with Bellatrix and Greyback right? :ponder:

zealousheart
09-04-2008, 07:53 PM
I thought the only sure fact was Greyback because it's replacing the GreybackbitesBill scene.

Hey having Inferi attack the Burrow would prevent them having to do this:
Harry and Hermione and Ron eating
Harry: So did you see the Cannons last night?
Ron: Yeah totally the Chasers were great.
Hermione: SO...did you know Harry Inferi are undead creatures who can't think for themselves and may follow Voldies will. You really should know that.
Ron: ...
Harry:...
Ron: And that keeper was brilliant.

Helen Weasley
09-04-2008, 08:56 PM
:lol: :lol: :lol: I love that idea for a scene, and I totally could see them doing that.
and no, it's not inferi that attacks the burrow...I was just making a bad joke.

BellaBlack
09-04-2008, 11:43 PM

Helen Weasley

Wait, which line, Bella?
I'm kinda lost now....maybe cause my brain wants sleep. Hmm. Whatever.
How about.....okay, I can't think of a title right now.

09-07-2008, 12:43 PM
Read some reviews from the test screening. All I have to say is: WTF? EPIC FAIL. It sounds like every little scene from the book is changed, I'm gonna be shocked if anything actually follows the canon. Die, Kloves, die.

This is so sad :(.

Cilla
09-07-2008, 12:52 PM
I haven't read anything yet, I don't want to be "spoiled"

but.. really? :(

danyjoncew
09-07-2008, 12:57 PM
I half skimmed, half read it, to keep some surprise, but it's totally nasty, I didn't read A THING that is actual canon. And many of the most memorable stuff in the book (lines) are not there, so it seems. Total book rape.

Cilla
09-07-2008, 01:04 PM
aaw, No :(
now I'm sad :(

I don't wanna read it..I don't wanna get spoiled and I'm afraid :( but..:crying: any other details or warnings Dany?

Helen Weasley
09-07-2008, 02:48 PM
That's pretty depressing. Got a link to it so I can be less surprised when I see the movie next (NEXT. seriously, how stupid are you, WB?) year?

Just... forget the book, Bella, and maybe you'll be fine :D.

BellaBlack
09-07-2008, 04:02 PM
:lol: I don't wanna forget the book though! This scares me for Deathly Hallows. But I had a bad feeling HBP would be uber changed for ages now..everything has been changed and a lot of important stuff cut out, all the canon ships/battle scenes/characters are different :(

zealousheart
09-07-2008, 04:05 PM
:lol: the LJ one didn't seem THAT bad. Checking Leaky. Look...SLIGHTLY SPOILERY

lots of Ginny = GOOD
Ron not made out to be bad= GOOD
Burrow Attack= Not So Good
No Tonks/Lupin= Not So Good
Lots of Draco= GOOD
R/Hr, H/G= GOOD though some parts sounded very non-canon

As a huge fan of the books I have found myself getting more and more disappointed by all the changes in the movies and especially in Michael Gambon’s portrayal of Dumbledore who is my favorite character. That being said I was really pleasantly surprised by this movie. Many of the changes were actually entertaining and Gambon has improved enough to be tolerable. It was so much better than Order of the Phoenix. Overall I really enjoyed this movie and can not wait to see it again.
-Leaky

So that doesn't sound awful, now does it?

BellaBlack
09-07-2008, 04:09 PM
We'll just have to wait and see, BOO on no R/T though :mad: I love em.

zealousheart
09-07-2008, 04:16 PM
True, yeah I love R/T too, are they going to leave out Teddy and everything? But I love R/Hr more and was happy to see they seem to make the R/Hr very clear. The H/G seemed a bit overboard though, I love that we're seeing Ginny, but it wasn't like an epic!romance in HBP it was like a normal teenage couple ;).

BellaBlack
09-07-2008, 04:29 PM
Are they making it seem epic? I hope not because the way it happened was kinda of average..falling for each other and confusing and jealousy and all that.

I have no idea bout Teddy I hope not :(

Helen Weasley
09-07-2008, 04:36 PM
Ugh, why make non-epic things epic and leave out important things? I hate you, Kloves! That Facebook group I made keeps making more and more sense.
