    Default Harry Potter Appreciation Thread!

    I'm getting so excited about the next movie in November!!! I'm currently reading Deathly Hallows, ah, it's just so good. Even though I like more the books than the movies, I don't know what I'm going to do after the last movie comes out

    Let's discuss about the books, movies, everything HP related in here!

    Oh and I'd love to visit the Harry Potter theme park (somewhere in Florida I think?) someday!



    PS THIS THREAD MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS SO IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE LAST MOVIES READ CAREFULLY OR NOT AT ALL!

    I'm not really a fan of the movies or books, but I had a very fun Harry Potter Lego set once...

    I have a huge L.O.V.E. for Harry Potter. I have all the movies that had came out on dvd. But I have yet to read the books. And I would L.O.V.E. to eventually get those books. But I will admit when the first Harry Potter book first came here to the U.S. I had hated Harry Potter and didn't know what was so great about him. Though I did like that it got kids in to reading. It wasn't until I saw the first Harry Potter movie on tv. Was when I started to really see the fascination with him. And I just started to really L.O.V.E. him. My favorite Harry Potter characters are Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Hagrid. Hagrid has always been my absolute favorite character. But the one character I still find creepy is Professor Snape. Every single time I see one my Harry Potter movies he just really creeps me out whenever I see him. But I would so L.O.V.E. to go see the new Harry Potter movie that is coming out in November.

    I haven't always been a fan either. Actually, I didn't care for it at all until I got The Prisoner of Azkaban for Christmas in 2001. And even then, I didn't read it until the summer of 2007, lol! But after I read it I just had to read the others too and since then I love it!

    And I warmly recommend all of you who haven't read the books to read them! Of course to each their own and some like the movies more even if they have read the books but I personally think the books are so much better! Even though the movies are pretty good, too, but they often leave many scenes out and there's just something about the books that you can't stop reading once you've started.

    Ron is my favourite character! He is so funny! (I think Rupert Grint was a great choice to play him) And hey I cried when I read about Dumbledore's death too. I also cried when Sirius died.. call me weird but, oh well..



    *SPOILER ABOUT DEATHLY HALLOWS*


    After reading DH Snape became one of my favourite characters, I thought it was awesome that he actually was always at Harry's side.

    .

    LOL I don't think it's weird you or anyone else cried during the movie. They had just caught me off guard. I'm sitting there watching the movie then all of a sudden I look over and they're tear jerking.

    Oh man... Harry Potter, when I was a kid I watched the movies and wow o_o then buyed the PSone games and thought it was awesome too... Later I buyed other games... And when I hear the Order of the Phoenix book was going out, I bought it, but never read it. But I kept watching the movies... Like 3 years ago a friend told how awesome the books were and he read everyone... So I did it I read all the books and man... That was awesome even more than the movies... I'm so excited to see those 2 movies in 3D...

    I am the biggest Pottergeek going. I absolutely LOVE the story!

    I find it really strange when people say that they love the films but have never read the books! I honestly believe that the films are (usually) not even half as good as the books. When I watch the films, in the back of my mind I'm always thinking 'how would people know what's going on here, if they've never read the books?'
    The books are fantastic! Seriously, don't let the size of them put you off! If you like the movies, you'll love the books. There's so much more going on; more characters; more sub-plots etc. etc. And everything that happens is explained well and not skimmed over (like I find happens in the films so much - making them quite confusing!) I am constantly re-reading the whole series. In fact right now, I'm just about finished the Prisoner of Azkaban for the 107648573920th time lol.

    I'm looking forward to the Deathly Hallows films, the trailer for Part 1 looks really good!

    Any Snape fans here? I loooove Snape! I always had faith in him, even after book 6 The Snape memory sequence in Deathly Hallows is so sad...

    I'm *hopefully* seeing the Potter theme park in Florida next year! I can't wait to drink Butterbeer and ride a Hippogriff!!



    Just editing because I noticed this...

    I always knew Snape was good. I love Snape! At the end of Deathly Hallows when he gives Harry his memories... and he's looking at Harry but he's seeing Lily's eyes.... SO sad! I hope they definitely include this moment in DH2!

    I remember when I became a Harry Potter fan in 2001 (my best friend at the time got me into the series). I remember wanting to see the 1st movie in theaters in November of that year, but my mom wouldn't let me for some reason. Got to see the second movie in November 2002 in theaters opening weekend with my best friend which is an experience that I'll remember (that was the last HP movie I saw in theaters). I FINALLY finished reading the last 2 Harry Potter books over the summer in preparation for the 7th movie; planning to go to the midnight screening with some friends when it comes out. I used to be so OBSESSED with Harry Potter in middle school. It's so crazy to think that when the final movie comes out next summer, Harry Potter would've been a huge part of my life for 10 years. I basically grew up with the main cast. So crazy realizing that about 10 years ago I was in middle school and now about 10 years later I'm in college. Anyway, my fave Harry Potter book is "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"; fave character is Hermione Granger; and I'm completely Team Gryffindor!
