Harry Potter - Are we done yet?

Yes eve1 who has read the books on harry potter feels that the movies dont do justice to the book.. there are a million people who read the books and many many more who havent read the books or simply dun have enough time to.. in some places the book is simply not available to them.. for those its a gr8 way to know about the story and enjoy it.. even though many pats are skipped from the book some parts changed.. yet its the scenes from the movie that remain in the memory for a longer time.. and helps us to imagine things better..

I don't think the movies were that bad. Its really hard to compress hundreds of pages into a 2+ hour movie. Even J.K. Rowling understands this. I have a little bit of gossip for you though, i dont know if your partial to manga, but it seems that there will be a japanese anime version of harry potter. I hope that would be a lot better. :)

To be honest I really dont care about this, I have never read any of the books or have I seen any of the movies...They were way out of hand before it began...

i agree with you. the movie doesn't do the book justice. but we have to consider the limited time that movie have. it will be hard to make a movie with all the details in the book. sometime i think that rowling purposely make the book harder to be adapted to a movie. as of that i think harry potter is better suited to be as tv series rather than movie. maybe in the future we will have harry potter tv series. though it will be later than 2009.

i do have to agree that at some point that the movies were getting worse at the time, but think about the most recent movie of it, "the order of the phoenix" was quite a hitter if you asked me, but the problem is that they always cut others scenes and place some scenes that we haven't read about in the original book. and maybe... JUST maybe that that is the reason that most harry potter critics despise the movie industry to make a movie out of the books, but think about another option, i've read the other posts before me that they would like to see a harry potter series on the television, and i for one would like that change instead fo them releasing a movie, so that in a way, they can't change the things that the readers read into the series that they're going to watch now is it/ because if so, it would also recieve tha sae critisc that the movie had.

Actually, as much as some of us want to stop these screen adaptations, it's hard to do so because that's one of the hypes in the film industry. As a Harry Potter fan, I admit that there are some movie versions that I didn't like (the worst being the 3rd movie). But even so, I still read the books and still love it. Somehow, we jsut can't help but have the movie versions. And I think it is a way to see how one can imagine the books, but still, nothing beats the Harry Potter books. I have read the 7th book, and I can say JK Rowling did not disappoint me. I love the book, and I just can't help imagine how they are gonna make it into a movie. This could be a way to test the directors and screenwriters in making the movie.

I'm with you on that. I haven't read the books, nor seen the films; however, I hear enough about it from my friends. Friends who have not read the books. Maybe this way my friends wouldn't be so lazy, and actually stick their nose in a book! x
