Harry Potter Movies

[Deleted]

Thats the only reason I am waiting to see it at least until tuesday during an early matinee. Too many kids this weekend and on Thanksgiving. I want to enjoy my Harry Potter without some 13 year old girls giggling how CUTE Dan Radcliffe is; though to be fair I wiould do the same thing but then I would look pervy at 22. Oh how I miss wood (that is so naughty sounding). At least he is legal.

Saw it last night. Loved it. *spoilers* I wish there had been a little more time spent on the Quidditch World Cup. That whole section seemed a little choppy to me, but I do realize they're trying to get us all to Hogwarts as soon as possible. Cedric Diggory's death, and the dawning realization of the tournament-goers, was heartbreaking. It was very well done.*end spoilers*

Overall, I thought they did a good job of condensing the book into one movie, though I wish they would do expanded editions a la Lord of the Rings.

Saw it tonight with TTMR and a friend. It was very good -- the best of the bunch, IMO.

I absolutely loved Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort. He was just perfect. I agree that they didn't spend enough time on the Quidditch World Cup, but they really did need to get the movie going. I didn't miss one bit the stupid house elves.

Ahh, GoF was everything I hoped for. Now I can die in peace. Something tells me a coupla kids went home and had hella nightmares last night, though.

I agree, I wish <<they had spent more time at the Quidditch World Cup, instead of the ridiculously drawn-out dragon task up on the roof! At the end of which the dragon dies. That just didn't seem right to me, but then again I'm a big nerd.

LOVED the Yule Ball, but why did they make Padma Patil a Gryffindor? Lame. And Moaning Myrtle was seriously horny!

Other than that (and a few qualms about the Mad-Eye Moody/Barty Crouch jr. plotlines, and lack of Sirius) I thought it was terrific. It was funny and sweet (poor Neville!) and very entertaining.

Voldemort was a little over hyped though. I was expecting something a lot scarier than noseless Ralph Fiennes.>>

Just saw it. Great movie. This is my favorite so far.

I just saw this today and it was awesome. It's definitely my favorite of the four - I really like POA, but I'm in the minority that doesn't really like that book as much as the rest, so it's not really one I'd rewatch.

I agree that some places were a little choppy, and I really missed the SPEW/House elf liberation subplot, but the story worked well without it.

My one beef was that Vodemort just looks like a meth addicted, noseless Ralph Fiennes. I mean, come on, we couldn't at least have some digitally enhanced red slashy eyes? If we can melt off Moody's face and have Harry go on a 5 minute long dragon chase, we can give Ralph some damn contacts, people.

Also, Neville was adorable and Viktor was really, really hot. And fangirls be damned, Cho was very cute with her Scottish accent.

See, I found Voldemort more creepy than scary. Although, that's pretty much how I thought of him until book 5 anyway, so maybe movie 5 will make him scarier to me. However, I thought his Death Eaters were terrifying and absolutely perfect. Scared the living crap out of me at the World Cup.

I thought the movie was fantastic. Emma Watson really isn't that strong of an actress, but the other two main actors improved a lot. The only thing I wish was in that was left out is the Quidditch World Cup. I would have liked to see some of the game.
