Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

I have re-read the books a few times over the years, but I do not think that I have the time to re-read the entire series between now and when the movies comes out. I am glad that the movie is finally going to be out so I can watch it. I really enjoyed the first part of the deathly hallows. I too really enjoy Alan Rickman. His performances have been great. I really cannot picture another person playing snape.

I had earlier watched all the previous movies but this week I am going to read the books. I had till now read the first three books and there is a great deal of information in the books and most of the mysteries are cleared. Surely this is going to be one of the greatest hit. Eagerly waiting for the 15th july.. Have a nice day!

I have learned a long time ago to not read any book just before seeing the movie "based on it." Or at least, I like to pretend that I have learned this lesson. I can't imagine the difference being larger than gap between Starship Troopers the book and the oh-so terrible movie (the only thing they managed to get right was the bugs). I find all the names in this series to be...well, stupid. It is what happens when a writer wants some mystic, non-"muggle" names and has no real life witches and magicians to talk to. Yes, let's just randomly grab names from occult literature, shall we?

Hi drasnian, I've read the whole 7 books twice, one in spanish, one in english, and I just can't wait to see the last movie (although the books are SO much better than the films). I never read the books in preparation for the films and still criticized the things they changed . About the epilogue, what can I say... I'd like to rip off those pages,

Alright, I read your comment about the names and also your comment on the first response about the other names. I know who most of the children are that you mentioned, but who are Lorcan and Lysander? Did I miss something? Did you see the movie yet? I saw it, and I loved the performance by Alan Rickman, but I never doubted that I would. Snape did get more emphasis in this movie than in the last two, but I still do not think that they did him the justice that he deserved. Then again, he is one of my favorite characters, so I might be a little bit biased. I have read all the books, and I plan on reading them again when I get some time. I was thinking about reading them again before the movies to "brush up", but I decided against it. They did not do a good job of sticking to the books except in the first few movies, and it was very frustrating, so I wanted to enjoy the movies without trying to compare them to the books. Of course, that didn't work, but it was a good try at least.

hmmm.. i would not read it again until i watch the movie.. because it might disappoint me. hence, i still feel that this last movie would be the best since it is the last.. they must put what is really written.. i hope in the latter, they would have the fuse the two parts of deathly hallows.. i will buy the complete collection of it when it is available in the market..

I probably wouldn't reread the books until after I watched the movie. I have read them all once. And have seen the movies I Can't wait till the next movie hits the drive-in. I wish honestly they would show the last 2 together , that would be awesome. I do like Alan Rickman he is a hell of an actor. But their children are named for people Harry loved the most.

I read almost all of the books. I did not read the last two and I did not see the last movie. Actually I saw parts of it but I did not see the entire thing. So I need to watch the last one before I go and see the newest one. My son saw the last one and he is going opening night to the theater to the midnight show and he is extremely excited about it.

I have not read Harry Potter novel but I was told it is all about witches and their antics. I have also seen the t-shirt of Harry Potter.

Well i had read all the books pretty earlier than deathly hallows was released...book version was awesome...but its been long time since I read them so right now I don't remember the details..and also haven't seen the first part of deathly hallows..so I'm definitely going to reread the books..But i will read only seventh book..that will make the movie a little better i guess.

I read all the books. And I don't think is a crazy idea to re-read the books, they are so fun that you probably would read them really fast. I would do that if I had the time, but I have to study for the college tests this week and next week. Then will be my vacation, maybe I'll read the books then, specially the 4, 5 and 7, those are my favorite ones.

i dont like to re-read any books in preparation for the films because the film will disappoint me at last. U know the words are so amazing, u can image many different scenes in ur head through them but u cant image through the film which are freezed by the director.hehe...
