FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line

I don't think anyone beyond that veil is totally dead and beyond reach - that's why we hear the murmuring. This could get interesting.

Michael, I just went to Best Buy and the 2 for $25 is if you buy the new one, you can add one of the first two for $25. I don't know if I can save it for Thanksgiving day. May have to break it open tonight!

lord of the rings is the best. the extras are excellent. don't forget to ask santa for the special edition of "return of the king". it has at least 1 hour of bonus footage. you will see saruman being dealt with by treebeard and you will see the houses of the healing.

I picked it up yesterday but got home late so tonite I'll watch it with my daughter and her boyfriend and our dog. I am looking forward to watching it. I wished I would have read the book first. I try and read the book before I watch the movie so I understand more of what's going on. That's just me.
In this case, it might be best that you haven't read the book first. I love the books(Just ask Skye or CherishJoy if you have any doubts) so often I find that the movies, though I love those as well, just don't do enough to bring the book to life.

Exactly Not Lauren! There was no body, and it was assumed he was dead by the characters.... I for one have my doubts.
As for a major character dying, that's just hype! You do realize that one of the two primary characters, who's name shall not be spoken, has died in every book?!
do you think that in the next book, since they are getting darker and darker, that voldermort might "win" this time? it seems that "the good guys" are getting more desperate in their fight against he who shall not be named. i dont think we will see sirius this time around, maybe in the 7th book. i am going to re-read the books again this weekend. once you start reading them, you can't put them down.

I saw this one when it first came out, I'm still waiting on the DVD from my club.
I have to say, it's my least favorite of the three. This new director seems to have lost something that the first director was able to capture from the books. I just can't put my finger on it, though. Little things in this movie bothered me...they changed the scenery at Hogwarts, including Hagrid's cottage and the whomping willow; the kids wore "common" clothes thru much of the movie and not their Hogwarts robes, etc. I still liked the movie, it just wasn't the same as the first two.
I'm with Michael P., I'm doubting that Sirius is actually dead, but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

i do think that sirius has not gone on... partly because of the veil, but also because rowling has made mention that the mirror he gave harry will come into play in the future, though she wouldn't say why. i am partial to thinking that belletrix did not kill him, (becuase we can guess what curse she used, however it wasn't spoken perhaps and therefore weakened) but when he was pushed through the curtain he passed into a place he can't return from. I think it will be very interesting to see what happens with the twins, i doubt they'll come back to school, but will their mother let them be of help to the order... and remember her vision with the boggert

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks Sirius isn't dead yet! There has got to be a way for Harry and Sirius to continue communicating.

i bought this movie the other nite and watched it right away. there is just something that is missing from it. it looks great visually but they did miss ALOT from the book. they didn't show the past history of prongs, padfoot, etc. they didn't show how mean harry's dad was to snape. they didn't show voldermort meeting with peter. they should have added alot more.
it looked great visually, hogwarts looks better. the world looks alot better but the storyline kind of bothered me. i'll watch it again this weekend and reply back.
what did others think?

i know they are lengthy but the first 2 movies were pushing 3 hours, this one was only 2 hours. they could have added more stuff. don't get me wrong, i liked it but i felt they should have added more of harry's dad when he was younger. that was crucial to the story and sirius' history. i have to watch it again this weekend because sometimes after watching it for a 2nd time, you appreciate it more. i loved it visually, i thought he did a great job with that and the wizard world. he did a great job using the paintings this time around. they really 'came to life'.

it's the 4th and 5th book where harry starts to stress out from the pressures that he is feeling. you could see hints of it in the 3rd, where he loses his cool like with his aunt marge. you can see that his temper is growing shorter with certain people, like the dursleys.
