i noticed in the hunger games thread there were a few comments about the transition of hp books to films, so i figured id make a thread for it...
anyway some questions to get us started:
Q. do you love hp?
A. YES, im a diehard fan, the hp books were the first books i ever remember enjoying reading, skip ahead to the present and im doin a degree in eng which i doubt would have happened if hp hadnt started my love for books
Q. do you prefer books or film?
A. i loved the books and used to hate the movies, but then the books finished and i started loving the movies because they were all i had
Q. which were your favourite books and films?
A. i love all the books, but my favourite ones were prob POA, OOTP, DH. but i hated the PS and COS films because they seemed really unrealistic
lol
with students with their ties done up properly and correct uniform and lame one liners (e.g. "let us hope that mr potter will always be around to save the day" "dont worry i will be") POA was decent, GOF meh, OOTP hated cause it was the longest book and the shortest movie and they cut SO much out, HBP meh, DH1 was actually really good imo as was DH2
Q. what are some important lessons youve taken away from the books?
A. hmm, a lot. the books is full of important lessons not just about love and doing the right thing but all sorts of other pearls of wisdom, but one i remember atm is never judge a man by the way he treats his superiors but by the way he treats his inferiors
Q. who was your favourite character? who did you think did the best job at A. portraying their character in the film? who didn't do a good job?
in the books i love harry, in the movies i love ron cause he does exceptionally well at being ron. and evanna lynch was such a good luna! i heard she chose to make her radish earrings, because they werent gonna include it and she was like ok, i'll do it myself. i also loved gilderoy lockhart, kenneth branagh was almost too good at being him. hmm, i have nothing against the actress because it wasnt her fault but i hate the film version of ginny her relationship with harry is all wrong, they have no chemistry and i swear to god the screenwanker, sorry writer, was a harry/hermione shipper cause he gives harry and ginny awful scenes like tying the shoelace, yelling at the quidditch team, staring dumbly in DH when they reunite at hogwarts, not helping neville up the bridge, cliche kissing scenes
Q. what (relation)ships did you support and how well they you think they were portrayed in the film?
A. ron and hermions obviously (will never understand harry and hermione shippers) was perfect in book and film, they make total sense
harry and ginny make total sense in the film, they are attracted to each other he always describes ginny as pretty and focuses on her hair and how vibrant it is (note how hermione's hair is just brown and bushy), they have similar sense of humour too, and they connect really well, whenever he cant open up to hermione and ron he can somehow talk to ginny like in the OOTP in the library about Sirius and i love how shes not scared of him when he's all angsty and mad hermions and ron are kinda scared but ginny yells right back, like in OOTP when he's all you dont understand and shes like your stupid ive been possessed by voldy too, and he like i forgot sorry and shes all lucky you
Q. what scene in the movie made you throw your popcorn at the screen?
A. so many, but i think popcorn's gross, which is maybe why i throw it. i get why they changed it in the movie but the death of voldemort annoyed me in the film they made so dramatic and visually appealing and magical but i thought it was really important when voldemort died in the book he died very human and vulnerable and ignorant
Q. what scene in the movie are you pissed they didnt include/changed?
A. again a lot, but i just watched HBP so i'd say everything about the lead up to hp and ginny hookin up with that jealousy of dean and that fight with ron and ginny and the quidditch and the kiss! also i kinda wished theyd gone through more of the memories ppl had of voldemort instead of just the one about the horcrux.
Q. i think they should turn in into a tv show so they can really develop the characters and the world better (and each book could be a 20ep season and each season they could change the cast), do you agree? if you do make cast suggestions or any other suggestions.
A. line up 7 directors, each for 1 hogwarts year/season to agree to a few things long term for continuity. it really annoyed me how dementors and death eaters costumes would change with every movie.
Q. which actor of the trio do you think will do best?
A. i hope daniel, he's so charming, but dammit his height really holds him back, grow daniel grow! plus im quite impressed he's done theatre, dance, singing etc. i feel he's quite dedicated because of that
Q. what house do you thinks youd be in?
A. i wish gryffindor but probs hufflepuff
Q. have you been to the exhibtion? or the theme park? or the studio?
A. yep, i went to the exhibition in sydney (and i touched the costumes so i could be all "ive touched something ron wore"), beware the every flavoured beans! vomit was too realistic imo
Q. When the hell is pottermore gonna open?
A. they say april...but i dont know that believe them anymore
please submit your own questions too! i love talkin anything hp, makes me feel like a little kid again
