- And from the films I only like the first three ones and especially the Columbus ones, because of their naive, colourful and, undoubtly ( :roll: ), magical atmosphere.
I noticed that in HP7-2. I'd seen only the first four films before this one, and I remember them being pretty colorful. The last one has that awful over-saturated look that way too many films have these days. |

| My ranking of the films:
1. Deathly Hallows Part 2 2. Prisoner of Azkaban 3. Philosopher's Stone 4. Deathly Hallows Part 1 5. Chamber of Secrets 6. Half-Blood Prince 7. Goblet of Fire 8. Order of the Phoenix
Strangely, David Yates' efforts are all over the place in my ranking, but in the end I'd say he oversaw the second half of the series successfully, bringing together the best of what the other directors did. I wouldn't mind him directing a Bond in the future (especially if he'd bring Desplat and Serra on board). |

| HALF-BLOOD PRINCE is on the telly at the mo. I just love how they staged the quidditch match in it - the music feels as though there's two armies about to smash into each other. Great stuff. My own rankings...
1. PRISONER OF AZKABAN Just the ultimate really. A mix between children's magic and adult wizardry, introducing the characters of Snape and Lupin, victory in the Quidditch cup - it all comes together beautifully.
2. DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 1 3. DEATHLY HALLOWS PART 2 A bloody epic conclusion that hits all the right notes really - I'll give part 1 the nod over part 2 because I've seen it twice and there's a few moments in it I find brilliant for their originality over the rest of the series - like the animated Hallows story and the Harry/Hermione dance. It just worked for me. And the depiction of the ministry as a Nazi stronghold.
4. THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE A DVD box I read today called it the "Wizard of Oz of todays generation". Perfect description. Full of absolutely golden moments, instantly quotable and a childhood classic.
5. ORDER OF THE PHOENIX Quality.
6. GOBLET OF FIRE Apart from Dumbledore going uncharacteristicaly apesh*t at Harry, a solid adventure that'sgot Clemence Poesy in a bathing suit and all other kinds of awesome stuff.
7. HALF-BLOOD PRINCE Just gets off the bottom because its got plenty of funny monents (hand on deck, Granger!), that awesome quidditch match and I love that end credits music. Its kind of the DAF of Potter movies.
8. CHAMBER OF SECRETS I spose just because its a bit more forgettable than the others. Even though its got the perfect Kenneth Branagh.
Thats still said, I could watch all 8 and love them all. |

| I know people who experienced toe-curling mortification at the '19 years later ... ' epilogue in print, but apparently it's not just as embarrassing on film, 'cause it's only about 2 minutes long . |

| I didnt mind it - its a bit of fun, and provides some closure. Plus, Ron looks like he peaked in high school and become useless, Harry looks like he's joined the beatles and Ginny's been spending years at the hair salon. If you can't have a bit of a giggle you're taking it too seriously. |

It seems to be pretty divisive. I heard quite a few people rumbling about it leaving the theater and have read more complaints on the Interwebs. |

You can take it seriously. With less sarcasm: is there an epilogue showing Harry as some old magician, dying in his home? Put up a spoiler tag and explain the ending to me, if you don't mind. I never plan on seeing this, so I'm just wondering how it went. |

| Herminone found something in her pocket and whant go back in time to sace some people who died, but Harry stops her and explain to her that it work like the Stone: You only get it you do some good things with it and going back in time also bring back bad people. She give him a yes look and looking to a lucky Luna and George Weasley with there children running a store and there children around them. 11 years later. Ginny screams and Harry run to her. Then you discover she screams because of there children Jr get his letter from Hogwarts and it end with the kid reading the letter. The same letter as Harry get. That's how it should have end. The real end: - Spoiler:
Harry get a almoost death experience where he see Dumbeldore, Serius Black, Dobby and Snape when he on the floor leaved for death. Voldemort and others thinks he is death and voldermort picked him up. Voldemort stole his invinsible thing but lost it. There be a moment Harry take the thing when get a weake and make a end of Voldemort after he saved Long Bottom (Marcel Lubbermans in Dutch.).
Again Loved saved him, the love for those death people. Love for Snape ?. Yes, he discover earlier the truth about Snape with a memory of Snape, that Snape be in loved on Harry's mom, Dumbeldore's death whas a set up between Snape and Dumbeldore (He whas Dumbeldore spy. When you see the first movie you mabey remember Snape try to control a trick from the bad professor and in the third one he try to follow the rat when he meet Harry and Lupos with the secret map.) and be a real Half Blood Prins. I have understand that people don't dscover in the 6th movie it be snape and people must wait till this part in the 7th to discover Snape be The Half Blood Prins.
Later Hermione, Ron and Harry escaped from the mess to Dumbeldore his room to destory the whant.
The next chapter who is not credit as chapter it is 19 years later.
There pass 19 years and Harry and Ginny. Ron and Hermione. Malfoy and a girl who i vergot be at the fames train station 9/4-3 with there children. One of the names of Harry his children is Snape. Malfoy family turn good after Harry saved Malfoy from a death trick by Voldemort in front of Malfoy his parents. ''Harry Potter, always be around to save the day'' said by Malfoy (Jason Isaacs) his father in the second movie is a hint to this. Fred Weasley is kild by Belletatrix, Bellatrix is kild by Fred (and George, Ginny and Ron) mother. Lupos is death also. But if i whas you don't read this but the books or watch the movies. The books are a mix of real things, fantasy, history (The 5th book in specialy.) and spying. If you whant to know more about Voldemort you should read the 6th novel include some LOTR fantasy. |

Put up a spoiler tag and explain the ending to me, if you don't mind. I never plan on seeing this, so I'm just wondering how it went. - Spoiler:
19 years Later from the book version - It is nineteen years later since the Battle. Harry Potter is married to Ginny Weasley (best friend's younger sister), while his best friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley are married. As Balje mentioned they do go to King's Cross Station to see the next generation off to Hogwarts.
Draco Malfoy (Harry's school rival) has married Astoria Greengrass (younger sister of some random called Daphne, that noone really cares about in Harry's year), and is seeing his song Scorpious off - both Harry and Malfoy seem to not be friends but reconcilled their differences.
Anyway Harry has three kids: James Sirius (named after his grandfather, James Potter, and Harry's godfather, Sirius Black), Albus Serverus (starting his first year at Hogwarts and named after Albus Dumbledore (the old Headmaster, Harry's mentor and basically the Gandalf of Harry Potter world), and Severus Snape (was a spy for Dumbledore but everyone thought he was working with Voldemort, but he was fooling both sides and considered 'one of the bravest men' Harry knows - also had thing for Harry's mum ... but thats a whole other story), and his youngest daughter, Lily Luna (named after Harry's mother (Lily) and his friend from school (Luna Lovegood: crazy, bizarre and awesome) - the only person who hadn't died out of that list suprisingly))
I could go on but basically Albus Severus Potter is worried about what house he'll be sorted into and Harry assures him that it doesn't matter what House he gets into because they're all good (and yet Ron makes some stupid comments about Slytherin which is sad). And the kids get on the train to go to Hogwarts, and Harry is happy because everything is good, and his scar hasn't bothered him (used to be a link between him and Voldemort).
Happy ending.
The movie version is simpler but it still has the chat between Harry and his son.
And so now Harry isn't some retired old wizard or anything. Yeah ... thats it. I strongly feel you should read them, Brown - epilogue aside they are a fun read. |

Same actors with crappy makeup and costumes that make them look like they're playing dress-up as 30-year-olds. |
