Thread: Harry Potter: Scrap the movies?

I just remembered, my Sri Lankan friend said when he visits there they have these terrible versions of the HP movies on like a 1,000 dollar budget.... and they blazed through each one in like a few weeks. I don't know if he was lying but if not be thankful for what we have, lol.

Aye, McGonagall is played quite well. Though I prefer Snape. Rickman pretty much portrays him perfectly, just like Harris did great justice to Dumbledore.

The worst...heh, not sure where to start. The student actors are, for the majority, not very good at their characters, in my opinion. Except Emma playing Hermione, as was already mentioned. She carries over the emotions like frustration and whatnot that Hermione seems to constantly have in the books quite well on screen.

Though now that I think about it and having read the above, I do suppose aside from the horrible Dumbledore, that it is indeed apparently the directing of the 5th movie that made it so horrible.

Oh, right. Snape is perfect.

Emma Watson.... eh, not so much. Though she acts just like Hermione should, shes too hot. The difference from her from how she normally looked to the Yule ball was supposed to be a huge change, and she just looked a bit hotter. She was supposed to be unrecognizable. But yeah, out of the three she was probably the best.

Agree Grod, the ball should have been quite a transformation for her... I was disappointed. :'(

Yeah, she was closest to the Hermoine I imagined in the first movie with the poofy hair and general messyness. Her transformation began quite soon after that, way before the ball. *sigh* I suppose the market must have its sex appeal. I also didn't really like how they started wearing "normal" clothes after the first one or two movies. Took away a lot of the fantasy.

yeah

that's oen thign I liek about mcgonnagal.. the clothes ^^

Right. That was weird.

I think Gambon was actually very good in the third movie. He was funny. Like when Harry and Hermione returned and said we did it sir! And he was like, did what? He sucked in the fourth and wasn't too bad in the fifth.

lol oh yeah.. I imagined Sirius Black just like Snape, but with less nose and more charm.

such a disappointment

yeah... the 5th movie sucked in content and plot
