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 622 Views
Yeah, I plan to keep it vague. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 11:45:46 PM 655 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 1151 Views
Sorry, I can't hear you over everyone in the theater talking before the film. Ghavrel - 15/11/2010 11:47:11 PM 1082 Views

Hah, well, that subtext is probably a good thing (spoilers) beetnemesis - 16/11/2010 02:24:13 PM 1223 Views
Yeah, but unfortunately it just comes off as being really out of nowhere. Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 05:29:26 PM 1081 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 1107 Views

You ought to read or watch them just for their cultural relevance. Ghavrel - 16/11/2010 08:30:45 PM 1149 Views
I see the , but serioiusly, I don't think I need to. Palatine - 17/11/2010 05:53:27 PM 1037 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 1093 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 618 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 636 Views

didn't like 3/5 for me Foxhead - 21/11/2010 12:57:59 AM 1219 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 590 Views
i guess even with severe editing one film would have ran for 4 hours Foxhead - 22/11/2010 11:53:13 AM 1074 Views
the dance was one of the best scenes in the film, imo. *NM* Deadsy - 22/11/2010 07:09:26 PM 593 Views
Yeah, I really liked it. Darth_Katie - 22/11/2010 08:10:08 PM 1028 Views
Re: Yeah, I really liked it. Rebekah - 23/11/2010 10:20:26 PM 1016 Views
yes, but we can't have CHARACTERIZATION!!! LadyLorraine - 24/11/2010 06:55:39 AM 958 Views
For the dance, I would have chosen "insipid." Ghavrel - 25/11/2010 01:04:10 AM 1116 Views
it wasn't characterisation, it was horribly awkward and clumsily crowbarred in Foxhead - 25/11/2010 01:15:20 AM 927 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 989 Views
I was against the idea of splitting it when that was first announced ironclad - 29/11/2010 03:02:27 PM 1066 Views
Completely agreed. Rebekah - 29/11/2010 04:44:57 PM 1066 Views
#6 was way too rushed and should have been split. trzaska2000 - 01/12/2010 07:55:34 PM 1013 Views

I didn't expect it to make the other films look that poor ironclad - 25/11/2010 11:20:53 PM 1030 Views
I also enjoyed the slower pace at times..... trzaska2000 - 01/12/2010 07:59:44 PM 1104 Views
Wow. Awesome. Makes it all the sadder how bad the others were, but oh well. Legolas - 26/11/2010 10:48:35 PM 1068 Views

oh I dunno... ironclad - 01/12/2010 08:25:20 AM 1076 Views
Compared to the original scene, though? beetnemesis - 01/12/2010 03:00:44 PM 995 Views
