posted by Ark on Jan 20, 2009
The books are definitely amazing and keep you reading each page just to find out the next twist, the movie should turn out to be really good. And i dont mean to be a wet blanket but harry poter isn't a comparison, theyre not even written to be ANYTHING like each other...sorry:/

I am still underway reading 1. i didnt know Magician came out yet but i got it. and i see in the back the Sorceress...yea. and....i am dying to catch up and read them all.
posted by Nicholas Flamel on Mar 23, 2009
I kind of hope they wait on the movies until more books are done. Harry Potter is ruined because they have waited so long to produce each movie. I also would like it if they filmed them like LOTR. All in a row and filmed before the first is released. That way the characters don't age in real life (they are only 15 in book). That or it will be animated.
posted by Scotch421 on Mar 24, 2009

Seriously, must everything be compared to Harry Potter? Harry Potter is a huge success and deserves it. JKR did a fantastic job on the books and the movies are great too. I think that Michael Scott's series could be just as successful as HP has been. The Alchemyst was a great book, and The Magician was even better! I really hope they do get this one done! I think it'll be an amazing movie!

Nothing will ever compare to Harry Potter. They are the best movie series, a true classic. Nothing beats classics.

They'll probably alter the ending so in case it doesn't make enough money, they won't make a second movie. It will be awesome though, I love ALL the books.

I can't wait for the cast list. I agree that Anna-Sophia Robb and Alexander Ludwig would be the best choices for Josh and Sophie. The real problem is who Scatty will be. Omg i cant wait for this movie. They better not screw this one up like they did with Eragon and the other ones who flopped
