could this film be the batman begins of harry potter and the last film a dark knight of the franchise???? ;)

HAHA

nah kidding, but i still ahve high hopes for the movey, the only problem i had with most of the HP movies was the flow of the film. the script was just too tightly packed, sometimes 20 new things are shown in 4 min while something boring is extended to 10 minutes....kinda like episode 1, where in the first 5 minutes enough stuff for a whole movie is shown but none of it exploerd correctly.

i hope this time around the movie moves along a steady wel timed pace.

i saw the first movies when they all came out, enjoyed em....but just recently i read the books....holy **** that was a good series....and i am ****ing thrilled for this movie....july seems far, far away right now....if you haven't read the books, and by any chance you have the mentality i had a few years back...thinking these were just silly little kids' stories....and therefore have chosen not to read them....i would strongly suggest you check em out...the first couple are sorta kiddish....but by the time goblet rolls around, and then order of the phoenix....these stories get reeeeeeaaaaally F'n dark....anyway i will shutup now....like i said...new Harry Potter fan...so gotta' ramble a little bit.

Better than read the books, listen to the audiobook read by Stephen Fry. Its pure pleasure for a very long time! (you guys know Stephen Fry? he's a legend)

I still think the first movie did a very good job bringing all that little world together.

As much as I like movies (and they are a passion), books are a completly different medium and can not be compared. That said, I started reading this series just to see what all the hoopla was about. I was hooked and waiting in line for the last one the night it came out. The movies are fun, but can never cover the scope of this series.

I can't wait to see this movie. All of the HP films are brilliant and they haven't made over 5 billion dollars for nothing. Everyone LOVES these movies: adults, teens, and younger children. The movies definitley keep gettting darker which is excellent because millions of fans have grown up with them and are now in their late teens early 20s (including me), so it would be very disappointing if they the films didn't mature too.

I think the filmmakers do an amazing job with these films and you can really tell they care alot about the fans and that they really respect JK Rowling's creation...Each film just gets better and better and David Yates is a BRILLIANT director! I can't wait until July 17, 2009!!!! So that I can see the movie like 10 times!!!!

I think it would be amazing if Deathly Hallows was R. Even though it would be horrible for Warner Brothers, even though they already have enough money from the series, and I think it would give the fans who grew up the series what they want. The last novel was so gritty and full of honesty that I think it could only be covered in a film that didn't hold back. It won't happen though.
