My guy mates said the exact opposite, they were disappointed with Ginny, said they thought she'd be much hotter! They liked Luna though strangely enough.
As for the bunny boiler after ron, hahahahahaha.
I thought the same, I liked Luna and the one who was after Ron. I though Ginny was a little bit wooden.
I certainly would be if I was her.
What? If you were her you would be wooden? 'Coz that makes no sense.
Or if you were with her you would be wooden...which makes sense but is just a bit wrong. Is she even legal?!
hahaha i was gonna say the same thing
4.5 Billion??? wow.. haha that would help the economy right? I think Random House is like a distribution company for the books . They did like harry potter's and Michael Scott’s The Alchemyst, Christopher Paolini’s Eragon, Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass and Jan Bozarth’s Fairy Godmother Academy. The Chapter that I read that you told me about too kinda reminds me of like a Female Harry Potter.
Not worth reading the book imo.
ya it could fix the economy.. thank you! that makes sense then.. and I guess that's a great way to put The Fairy Godmother Academy.... a female version of Harry Potter..
Not being a fan of the first book I decided I would not read any more of them then watch the movies and see if they made sense, the answer is a quite resounding NO!
My thoughts of the 6th went like this;
Who the hell is Ginny? - she had only had about 4 minutes of screen time in all the movies before this one, where she is now a love interest.
Who the hell is that guy Hermoine keeps looking at? - unexplained
Who the hell is the bunny boiler girl? - kinda unexplained, her name is mentioned and then... nothin.
Why is the girl who plays Luna Lovegood the only decent kids perfomance?
Where the hell is Voldemort? (thats never explained - book readers know but I sure as hell dont)
On a positive note all the adult actors are top notch!
In total there are about 3 minutes of actual magic in the film and I think this whole series past number 4 has now just become one big clusterfuck of characters and plot strands that fizzle out into nothing.
The thing about the HP films is my friends who are harry potter nuts say "oh this is just buildup for the next one" - well its been 4 hours of buildup now including number 5 where nothing happened so the deathly hallows had better be on par with Retrun of the King as an ending to a set of movies or im going to cover myself in jelly and run down the street screaming SNAPE SNAPE SERVERUS SNAPE until i get arrested and put in a looney bin.
Maybe it's because I read the book ages ago so couldn't really remember it. Plus I don't mind them messing about it with it too much, as I think you should think about books and their film adaptations as separate pieces of work if you're going to enjoy them.
But I loved it. I thought it was really beautiful to look at, totally spell-binding. And it didn't feel rushed like some of the previous ones have done, they omitted enough that there was time for the story to progress at a decent pace. I thought all the actors were excellent (perhaps with the exception of Gambon). I really adored it.
I think having different directors do different movies has been the ultimate downfall of the series since anything resembling a cohesive storyline went out the window in Goblet of Fire.
Since they went for a more character based set of movies it has gone totally mental because they are using characters that have basicly been ignored earlier on in the series - Ginny being an example of someone who was in about 10 minutes of screentime prior to her suddenly being a big deal love interest.
I do understand that if you have read the books the film makes perfect sense though and its nice to see things come to life but it makes almost no sense to me!
I thought the first two films were really crap though, so I guess it's just a matter of taste. The first two films were proper kids films so they bored me, whereas now it's a proper adult story that I can get involved in.
The main thing I guess is that I probably went in with very low expectations. I have read the books when they first came out, but not again since, and I'm not even sure I've seen the previous film, so I went just for something to do with my evening. Which is why it was a pleasant surprise to love it. But I suppose if I was a die-hard fan who'd been waiting a while for it, I might have been disappointed.
The adult story is a good thing but to me it feels like the HP series tries to step on both sides of the line - catering for both kids and adults and it doesnt work so well.
What Harry Potter does is put about 25-30 characters into things but by no fault of their own the current directors have the problem of making us care enough about the characters to be upset about half of them dying in the last 2 movies.
Just to clear up I do get what they are doing with the movies, i just really dont like it and dont think it works which is a pity, thats just my opinion of course
