I also agree. The books are way better than what I've seen of the movies, so far.

Yes, but the books are always better than the movies. ^&^

She also brings a good point. I mean look at the lord of the rings....not even a tom bombadil! Gawww.....but Orlando Bloom somewhat made up for SOME of it.

Heyyy...I like the LotR movies....
I would even go so far as to say they're better than the books, and I'm a total LotR freak so my word is law. *nods* The books are extremely descriptive and go on and on about how green the grass is.
My ADD nearly killed me.

I have all the books and couldnt get past the first chaper in the hobbit. GAWWWWWWWWWWW Its painstakeingly boring!
But my father loved those books, and bought them all for me with what little money he had left, and before his deathaversary I will read them all.
but I admit the movies were good. Escpecially the Droolworthy Legolas. ~Smiles~

*Snarls* I hate Legolas in the movies!!! No way was he ever that good in the books!! Making Gimli look stupid all the time. Elrond could kick his arse without even trying! *dissolves into incoherant mumbling ranting* Besides that, Orlando Bloom looked like a girl. Stupid fan girls... we hates them preciousss... yessss.
*Ahem* Anyway. Rant over. Fan girls, get over it. And apart from that the movies are really good, I love them, in my top five films of all time. I just wish the writers didn't have this thing where they had to make dwarves really dumb.
Yes, but my verdict: books better than movies. Almost always. Oh, and Morgan, the hobbit was designed for kids, but stick with it and by about chapter 10 it gets more like the real realm of middle earth in lotr. And the bit in Gollums cave is wicked cool... but then he did go back and re-write that one after he had done lotr... which is why that chapter is so different from the ones around it.

morgan i agree with you totaly on the hobbit, i tried rteading ti to make sense of the series and i got less then 3 pages in and threw the book at the wall.
-smack self and everyone with a soft cover version of OoP- ok harry potter site not a LoTR site.
Also my favirte book was number three, it was really in my view where harry started to look at life as a little differently, and actually started to show he was human, in the first two books he was kind of a kiddy god
anyone ever notice how in both movies and books he does only have one or two expressions. the normal sad tragic child and determined.
in PoA he showed hate and anger. He showed he was not above feeling the need to get revenege.
GoF the whole book was a transition to OoP, GoF added so many new character and did riase the level of the book series to a new hight, i think that GoF was the first real book teens actually started to look at, as they stayed away from harry potter feeling it to be a kids book
Now look at it, harry is no longer a little kid, he is really more like a avaerage teen going threw normal and not so normal changes in life. Thats why i think teens like the later books in the series because they can feel more connected with the characters.
ok i ranted long enough

1. It's true. That's how I felt with all the LotR books. The beginnings are always: "Oh and then Pastorval Cricket, the gentle hobbit, was sitting on his seat sipping lovely tea, when his cousin Carkorath Corker came in. 'Hello!' cried the hobbit cheerfully, 'Let us be gay together!'"
Then, later on, it's like: "Enethrael, the Elf Lord of the West cried with his sword raised in the air: 'We shall fight together! Elves! Men! Dwarves! Children of Illuvatar! Children of Aule! What is this monster that beckons at our gates? It is not our friend! If we do not succeed, then let us be damned! And if we do, then let us be glorified! RAR!'"
2. I really like the fourth and fifth ones mostly because those were the two that I anticipated and waited outside the bookstore for all the time. The first three I just bought all together. But actually I think he gets most of his trademarks that have become famously attached to Harry and Friends in PoA, but he uses them in GoF.
I.E. Pigwidgeon, Crookshanks, The Firebolt, Sirius Black (though he's made his exit, sob), and...well, the unforgivable curses first appear in GoF (AVADA KEDAVRA!)
(You're all dead now. Sorry.)

o.0 ok first off i get to say talon is wrong, or atleast messed up
Sirius black was in PoA, hell he was almost as important as harry toward the end. Crookshank, and firebolt were in PoA Pigwidgeon was a replacement for Scabbers that appeared in the final pages of PoA not GoF

Obviously he's just as important as Harry.
First of all, that is what I just said.
Second, it IS called 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. Sirius is the Prisoner of Azkaban, after all...

I agree with random comments on the first page.
It'll take about another two years for the next book to come out - so why not release a movie NEXT year, for 2006, and let us have the book to read in 2005.
Another reason why it might suck is that it's a heap of book to jam into a time limit of two hours and a half. It's pretty much 'Fellowship of the Ring' and half of 'Two Towers' if you compare the books in pages and such - and each of FOTR and TTT go for three hours - EACH.
The director could be a little unwilling to make the fourth one as dark as GoF really is. My sister stopped reading after the first chapter because she was convinced it was going to be as scary as the rest of it (plus she didn't know any of the characters), so it will be interesting to see how he handles that.
So many factors could make it suck.
And I don't think it'll matter on the rating. Parents will still take kids to see it, regardless.
I almost always like the books better then the movies, I more often then not prefer my own imagination to what the directors serve on a platter.
It shall be interesting.

I thought Professor McGonagall was the exact opposite of what she was, despite reading her appearance. I always saw her as short, with white hair, and a big green cloak.
Instead, she's tall, black haired, with a big green cloak. At least I got the cloak right!
