3. I think Pullman is terribly heavy-handed when it comes to religion (plus his plotting is inconsistent -- I threw The Amber Spyglass across the room!), but reading this interview, I could almost see why he gets so overheated about it all. Well, Pullman is a bit heavy-handed, but, then, it is toug...

After the break into the Ministry however the book took a turn in my opinion. I didn't really like this part of the book at all and I really saw no need for the whole Ron storming off at all! The whole gloominess and hopelessness was too much for me personally. My thoughts exactly – the middle suff...

As for the no spoilers, a lot of Harry Potter fans seem to disagree majorly. (I have not read it, so I cannot say!) Now, it could be that it says things that should be obvious but that some Harry Potter fans hope will be untrue - e.g., Harry reuniting with Ginny Harry not going back to school, Siriu...

A friend of mine auditioned for Lavender in London a few weeks ago, so I think its pretty unlikely the part will be cut. Oh, I am sure that it will be filmed. However, they cast Lotho Sackville-Baggins for Lord fo the Rings, too! I am hoping that they come to their senses and realize that Lavender ...

A small detail that struck me during second viewing: I really liked how the unmasked Death Eaters look when they're holding up the DA. The ones we aren't introduced to have long facial hair and a maniacal look to them. It's very reminiscent of the look that Sirius had in POA, and Bellatrix has in t...

On a related note, I have not yet seen your personal impressions of the film, and I always find myself interested in what you have to say. Care to share? I was very pleasantly surprised, too. I would put this at #2 to Prisoner for quality, although I would still put Goblet ahead of both for sheer e...

Well, here's my theory, Eru. Seven long books is a big arc of story, and all through that I'm sure Rowling has been having ideas occur to her that weren't part of the original plan. We can see that in the books themselves. For example, in Stone, Hagrid says that he's going to return the flying bike...

Waste of time having Kreacher. Why bother? :scratch: ..... For me, as a non-devotee, this was indulging the fanbase, and I didn't see the point of it at all. If it was important to the plot JKR would have let the screenwriters know. Rowling did actually tell them to leave Kreacher in. According to ...

Rowling has stated a few times that there is no coming back from the dead Oh. I thought she had said that someone was going to come back. My info must be a little hazy... I think that it is just Grimmsian evolution: Rowling saying that nobody can come back from the dead, turns into: Rowling talking...

Sirius is quite dead: the veil through which he passed was a physical manifestation of the metaphor. Hmmm... and yet, to quote the Goddess calypso, him was taken, body and soul So maybe they just need to go to some locker or other to get him back... Rowling has stated a few times that there is no c...

I agree, Tyrhael, that Harry will die.I have a niggling feeling that a certain Padfoot is going to visit... After all, he didn't die, he just went through the veil. Sirius is quite dead: the veil through which he passed was a physical manifestation of the metaphor. The number of serious fans predic...

Besides, the prophecy that one must die for the other to live can only come true if one of them lives. Crucifer has the important point of the Prophecy: survive is not synonymous with live in this case. However, there clearly is an after-life in Potterverse. Rowling might be playing with something ...

I get to be fourth. :roll: Fortunately the kids all read fast. Yet another advantage of not having children! (By my score, #29746: but I quit counting for a few years back in the 80's, so I might have missed a couple...... 8)) Indeed, my wife and I buy our own copies. The few people I know with a s...

Curious but not excited. As the next installments of the series became increasingly bloated and badly edited ( the later in my opinion at least :P ) my interest waned too. Plus, that loooonnng pause before 4 finally came out ( or was it 5? ) was also hard on the ol' excitement levels :blackeye: It ...
