Soxy Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 So, the last book is getting released in, what a week and a half? And the movie comes out this week. I know I'm not the only one that's excited. . . This was in the NYT Op-Ed section yesterday, and I enjoyed it immensely. Thought I would pass it along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I just saw the first four movies for the first time in June, and I enjoyed them immensely. I plan on seeing the fifth sometime soon (probably this week), and then I will be borrowing a friend's copy of the sixth book and eventually the seventh. I know it's not the best way to follow this story, but I'm having fun w/ it anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I have my book 7 pre-order in at Barnes and Noble down the road and we have something lined up for the kids to do Saturday night when we go see Order of the Phoenix. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Oh dang, I didn't realize the new movie was already coming out this week. I'll definitely be seeing that. I love all the Potter movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasox24 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 f*** yes, I love Harry Potter. This is gonna be a great next two weeks with both the book and movie coming out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 My wife pre-ordered on Amazon. We have a system - she orders it and reads it... then I read it... then the movie comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreye Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I'm looking forward to it as well. I hope I can keep away from spoilers, though. I'm re-reading all the books and I'm a little behind where I had planned to be (Book 4). I can wait for the movie to come out on DVD, which I'm sure will be in time for the Christmas season.

vandy125 Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I enjoyed the books, and was a fan of the movies until the last one came out. I thought that one was just poorly done. There was just too much jumping around with the story (still bought the DVD though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scholastic US edition will run 784 pages. about 90 pages less than Order of the Phoenix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonik22 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Whats everybody's opinion on the movie? IMO Book>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Movie. It just never felt like the movie got started to me. Still liked it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 As someone that's only seen the movies up to this point, this was my favorite one yet. I really liked the darkness of the story. I plan on borrowing the 6th book to get caught up with the story and then eventually the 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 I thought the movie was a VERY good adaptation of the book. Sure they left things out, but if they didnt... the movie would be 12 hours long! Well done! On a side note: Nymphadora Tonks was freaking HOT in this movie!

FlaSoxxJim Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 From the book I thought Tonks' hair was supposed to be short and spikey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoRowand33 Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 didn't see the last movie, but I can't wait for the book I read the 4th book right when it came out, but didn't read the 5th and 6th for some reason until last week, were I read both of them in like 3 days combined so I'll be good to go for the last book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
