I honestly haven't watched a Harry Potter movie since The Goblet of Fire. They just don't do the books justice.

Come on, the the 1st part of the seventh one did. Honestly, favorite HP movie so far.

Eh, I think depends on the viewer. Personally, I rarely find any book-based movie doing the book justice (unless it's a good action flick, since movements have a tendency to capture action better than words alone), but that's just me.

I don't know if I want to go see the movie on the big screen, I probably
would go and rent it out once it goes to DVD. ^^;

I'll die if I don't get to watch it on opening day

I dunno, to me it's the kind of movie you have to see, but you won't like much because it isn't like the book.  Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I usually like movies about books to stick to the details.

In my opinion the HP movies stick to the books way more than most ones, for example in Lord of the Rings they cut out an entire character.

Dobby, Winky, Peeves, Ludo Bagman, etc.

I think I might be going to midnight release but it just depends on if my dad wants to go at 12 at night.

I'm going. Don't know when, but I am. Hope it's better than the first part

I'd love to see Peeves in the movies

In the case of the book-to-movie justice, I think that the movies were made so that anyone could enjoy them. Some movies you really have to know what the books are about to enjoy the movie, so producers tend to stray away from that. I think the producers have done a good job of appealing to both audiences for all of the movies except Deathly Hallows Part 1.

Hm, well the dream flashes can get really confusing if you haven't read the books. I think that the dream flashes should be longer but still not give away too much information. (E.g. actual dialogue and talking but don't tell names because that's the part that Harry doesn't know or whatever)

Anyway, I've ordered tickets for Midnight release, the first theater was already sold out so we bought tickets to the second. (Theater = room not the Cinema as a whole)

If you read the books and have kept up to date on movie info, you'll know many Harry Potter fans are worried about what the final movie will be like.

For those of you less committed and probably quite ignorant, the final Harry Potter movie comes out this Thursday night, or more accurately, July 15th.

SPOILER:
What I'm most worried about seeing is the final battle between Harry and Voldemort, because what I've heard is that it ranges all over Hogwarts and lasts 20 minutes, where in the book, it lasts about 2 minutes and is just them circling each other talking and it's all finished with a single spell by each.
END OF SPOILER

So anyway, things to discuss:
Are you going to see the midnight premier?  I am!
Are you nervous about seeing the final film and if the director messed it up?
What's your favorite movie and/or book of the series?

Duplicate.
