But the 7th book relies so heavily on the 6th, it would be pretty impossible. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 16/11/2010 08:29:28 PM
They don't go over what a Horcrux is or anything. And if you haven't read anything past the first... wow. I mean, you don't even see Death Eaters until Book 3, right? The first two books are The Trio At Hogwarts, and there's really nothing about the organizational structures of the wizarding world until Azkaban.

I don't think it would make any sense. :P

Will the review be spoiler-free or not? *NM* Fox and Ravens - 15/11/2010 09:56:24 PM 621 Views
Yeah, I plan to keep it vague. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 11:45:46 PM 653 Views
I figure it's fair. I mean, the universe has to make up for you being you sometimes, right? LiterateDog - 15/11/2010 10:28:46 PM 1149 Views
Sorry, I can't hear you over everyone in the theater talking before the film. Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 11:47:11 PM 1081 Views

Hah, well, that subtext is probably a good thing (spoilers) beetnemesis - 16/11/2010 02:24:13 PM 1221 Views
Yeah, but unfortunately it just comes off as being really out of nowhere. Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 05:29:26 PM 1079 Views

I'm thinking you'd be really, really, really confused. It might be a bit like surrealist art. Legolas - 16/11/2010 06:04:37 PM 1104 Views

You ought to read or watch them just for their cultural relevance. Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 08:30:45 PM 1148 Views
I see the , but serioiusly, I don't think I need to. Palatine - 17/11/2010 05:53:27 PM 1035 Views
It's about as influential as Star Wars, which I guess depends on how influential you think SW is. Ghavrel - 17/11/2010 09:23:55 PM 1091 Views
That seems a bit early to say - wait till twenty years have passed, then check again. *NM* Legolas - 18/11/2010 03:46:24 PM 616 Views
Fair enough, but I think we're already seeing its influence on children's literature. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/11/2010 08:41:51 PM 635 Views

didn't like 3/5 for me Foxhead - 21/11/2010 12:57:59 AM 1217 Views
I'm glad it's 2 films, but the total run time could be 4 hours instead of 5 hours *NM* Deadsy - 21/11/2010 07:15:54 AM 588 Views
i guess even with severe editing one film would have ran for 4 hours Foxhead - 22/11/2010 11:53:13 AM 1072 Views
the dance was one of the best scenes in the film, imo. *NM* Deadsy - 22/11/2010 07:09:26 PM 592 Views
Yeah, I really liked it. Darth_Katie - 22/11/2010 08:10:08 PM 1027 Views
Re: Yeah, I really liked it. Rebekah - 23/11/2010 10:20:26 PM 1014 Views
yes, but we can't have CHARACTERIZATION!!! LadyLorraine - 24/11/2010 06:55:39 AM 956 Views
For the dance, I would have chosen "insipid." Ghavrel - 25/11/2010 01:04:10 AM 1114 Views
it wasn't characterisation, it was horribly awkward and clumsily crowbarred in Foxhead - 25/11/2010 01:15:20 AM 924 Views
*shrug* I liked the scene. It was something lighthearted in the middle of a lot of bleakness LadyLorraine - 25/11/2010 01:43:14 AM 987 Views
I was against the idea of splitting it when that was first announced ironclad - 29/11/2010 03:02:27 PM 1064 Views
Completely agreed. Rebekah - 29/11/2010 04:44:57 PM 1064 Views
#6 was way too rushed and should have been split. trzaska2000 - 01/12/2010 07:55:34 PM 1011 Views

I didn't expect it to make the other films look that poor ironclad - 25/11/2010 11:20:53 PM 1028 Views
I also enjoyed the slower pace at times..... trzaska2000 - 01/12/2010 07:59:44 PM 1101 Views
Wow. Awesome. Makes it all the sadder how bad the others were, but oh well. Legolas - 26/11/2010 10:48:35 PM 1067 Views

One scene they could have made scarier (spoilers) beetnemesis - 30/11/2010 05:16:42 PM 1102 Views
oh I dunno... ironclad - 01/12/2010 08:25:20 AM 1075 Views
Compared to the original scene, though? beetnemesis - 01/12/2010 03:00:44 PM 993 Views
