Whatever they do in the films, i hope they dont include that last chapter of deathly hallows. I mean, please, i was so excited about the last chapter of that last book since i heard she had written it long before the series was over, and i couldnt believe what i finally got to read. I was wanting to know how all my fav characters turned out in their lives, and what did i get? Some irritating episode at the train station that is supposed to tell me “See, our Harry got this loving family that he never had in his childhood, and see how happily he is playing his father role.” If i didnt read the later JK Rowling interviews, i would never have found out what the characters end up doing for livings, and etc, etc… still disappointed because those facts i should find out from the book, not from her interviews where she is actually telling them like they are facts or something.

I’ve only ever seen the first movie. But I hated the first book, I read it for a book report ( i was in grade 8 when the book came out) and did not see the big deal about it at all. I kept reading them though (my brother took them from the libaries) and noticed that her books got better as the series went on.

I’ve never read the 6 or 7th book though. Even though I’ve had both sitting her for i don’t know how long. Too busy!

I think it’s a good idea… it’s a really involved last book, and even trying to keep continuity with the altered movies (a lot of stuff was cut out, as readers will know) they’ll have a lot to cram in that last movie. I thought the last movie was disappointing because they were doing just that, trying to shove all the Order of the Phoneix stuff into 2 hours, and it ended up feeling cut apart. I would have preferred a 3-hour of that and not lose certain storylines… but then the movies will never be as good as the books.

I wish the final book had been split into two. Actually, I kind of wish that about Order of the Phoenix, although it would have been simpler to just edit it a bit more carefully, to eliminate the bloat.

I’m not sure how I feel about splitting it up - I’d almost rather it be 3 hours long.

The worst book & movie so far have been the second ones…ick.

I’m a bit torn on the whole harry potter thing. I liked the earlier movies though I think the fourth one, if I am remembering right, sucked majorly. What I don’t like it that the movies have grown up faster than my kids have so while I have no problem letting them watch the earlier ones, I can’t let them see the later ones.

I hate that idea, of splitting it into two.
