WOOHOOO i cant w8 for the movie to come out :D

The book is great. I could not put it down. I understand why they had to cut the book into two movies. Too much going on to be in just one.

Is there any info about where the two movies will be split? I was trying to think of a good spot in the the dealthy hallows where they could make a great ending for part one. Maybe the chapter, "the silver doe" when ron saves harry, the get the sword, and destroy the locket? Any thoughts?

Don't screw this up hollywood! By the way..J.K.Rowling, after the death of voldemort and the denumant in the head's office, the ending is a little tacky, too hollywoodish I might had. But I liked the nineteen years latter. Good job!

all of the books are EXCELLENT! i get grief from my family because I keep reading them over and over. but I can't help it. not very impressed with the movie version of Order of the Phoenix but I guess you don't always get what you want.

I've heard a lot of folks talk about how "anticlimactic" the last book is in the ending...what they fail to realize is that the whole book up to the very end was nothing but climax. Anyway, I wasn't too happy with OotP, but then again, I'm a book nut.

I LOVE HARRY POTTER !ITS MY INSPERATION!!

posted by #1 on Jun 15, 2009

I hope its really good! I was kinda disapointed with OOTP, it wasnt as good as I thought It would be. I was also upset when Twilight got the spot that HP already had!! And its true that Deathly Hallows is split in two. I read that the director really wanted it to be a cliffhanger, like in the part where Harry, Ron, and Hermione are caught by the Snatchers. Which is good, but I dont know if I can wait Six more months for the second part to come out!!

posted by megggan on Jun 25, 2009

have they started filming this one?

posted by izahbella on Jun 29, 2009

I can't wait either, but here is the answer to Cielo's question... Warner Bros. is milking Harry Potter for all it's worth!

I really hope that they don't screw this up. I love this book, but I cant take it if the movie goes bad...

posted by Benedicteba on Aug 04, 2009

I read this book and I think the movie is going to be hard to live up to. But I definitely will watch it. I understand the poster and I think the book is exquisite. I got addicted to it. I read it about 12 times and the things in it are still great. i never get bored of it and I hope the movie is going in the same direction.So I cant wait for the movie.

posted by gmainea on Aug 13, 2009

i so hope this movie isn't like the 5th one cuz i sucked. the last book was disppointing so i hope they make the movie better. :)

posted by Highschoolmusicalfan on Sep 01, 2009

The movie is better than the book bcz u could actually see wats happening even if the book is longer "Go Harry Potter" too bad Prof. Dumbledore died :( but the movie is still gud Harry potter rocks!!!!!

posted by MovieStar911 on Sep 01, 2009

I read all 7 books and saw all 6 movies. I think the 7th movie shouldn't be forever to wait. At least, we should see the first trailer to Deathly Hallows part 1. I still want the movie to be out in January 2010 and Part 2 in Novemebr 2010.

posted by Magicrocksfan1 on Sep 01, 2009

I love the movies, I want to see the first ever trailer. When does that come out? I really hope the movie is good. I also hope J.K. Rowling works on an 8th book.
