But I´m really looking forward to the film...the dragon, madeye and the other schools. That will be great. Due to time constraints in the movie, dragons, madeye, the other schools and the tri-wizard tournament are being cut from the movie. Only Harry and his final meeting with Lord Voldemort will be shown. We appreciate your understanding. hehe

I think you can be well forgiven for making a double-post seeing as it was your first two posts. They used to give us an edit feature but that seems to have disappeared now. Anyway, I agree with you, one film does seem a bit tricky but if they did it in two I think by the time the second was released (unless it was at the same time) then the actors would have aged yet more. If you remember though there was an awful lot of repetitive stuff in the first 150 pages though which was mostly background all over again. They'll be able to scrub a lot of that and I can't imagine they will cover all of the detentions with Umbridge maybe one/two. I suspect they might also scrub some of the Quidditch as well to focus on the main plot. Seeing as Cho disappears by the end of the book as well, they might have a bit on the romance between her and Harry but not a huge amount. Thank you for welcoming me. You make many good points about why two movies wouldn't work. The already aging actors, not to mention the adult actors who likely would want to work on other movies, as well as book 5 covering a lot of backstory and things that could be condensed. Not to mention, losing momentum with the story dividing it in two and separating it over a few months. I think Hagrid's Tale (the tale and the chapter) shouldn't be eliminated, but that could be pared down. I most want to see the DA meetings, Snape's Worst Memory, the Department of Mysteries battle, some of the OotP meetings and house (and Sirius), Dumbledore and Harry's discussion of the prophecy, the new Ginny Weasley, Ron and Hermione as prefects, and some of the classes (like with Umbridge) and Harry's interaction with his friends, both old and new. I bet I've left a load of things out I'd like to see as I haven't read book 5 lately, and yet, mentioned a ton of things! Unfortunately, because of the trimming in movie 4, I don't see how they can include Neville at St. Mungo's and some of the stuff on Kreacher and what not, so whoever the new director is has a challenge in front of him! I, personally, won't be sad to see less of Cho...I felt she really grated in book 5, but it would be nice to see Marietta get her comeuppance. Book 5 as a movie is going to be interesting to behold for sure. On a semi-related note, I hope the actors who are "in negotiations" go ahead and sign-on! What are you looking forward to in movie 5?

Posted: Tuesday 4 April 2006 06 26 36 am in topic:Replace With HP at least, I suspect they actually film more than they actually put out on the big screen/DVD so that it secures the Special Edition Box Sets with extra footage in say 10 years time! They can't well go back to it as the actors get older It seemed crazy to me that Sirius was reduced to a fireplace scene in GOF. Whatever happened to the chapter - Padfoots Return? They hired Gary for just that fireplace scene did they? I reckon he must have done more but they had to cut it for the sake of time. I also think they may have filmed the World Cup stunts at the least and may add this in the future with further graphics etc. And before anyone says I must be mad, I know they did filming with Pigwidgeon but cut that (there was a documentary that featured Pig that was shown here in the UK before the film was released, it was about how every animal on the set has been trained and Rupert Grint was seen talking about his new pet). I was actually quite disappointed that he didn't appear as Additional Scenes on the 2-Disc DVD.

The nuclear waste is deadly, we should use wind powered generators that create NO waste! i simply cannot believe that you discount nuclear power on account of the environment, the power sources we have utilised, not without some success might i add over the past 200 years have produced more dangerous gases than nuclear power ever would. of course there are safe ways of getting rid of nuclear waste, we are not living in the dark ages! i have seen dozens of wind farm and frankly they are vile to look at, totally hideous and yes, when working at full pelt they can generate sufficiant energy to cover a certain percentage of homes. AT full energy but they are rarely, if ever, at full energy. if you want to plonk a nuclear power plant anywhere near me, go right ahead. smack one right in the centre of cornwall. i have been to a famous power plant in Dorset which you cannot SEE unless you are literally on top of it. it's amazing and has not caused one iota of problems to the locals who live in some of the highest priced houses in the county. we are not about to suddenly suffer a 'day after tomorrow' scenario, that film was pure scaremongering. one volcanic eruption causes more dangerous and environmently damaging gus expulsions in one hour than we have caused in the last 20 years. should we start plugging up the volcanoes? mother earth has survived bigger problems than us in the last couple millenia, i think she can cope with some petrol fumes. the number of times i have passed through nottingham and heard people saying, 'ohh look at all the smoke coming out of those chimneys, its awful' makes me want to scream. they are not 'chimneys' they are cooling towers, it isnt smoke, it's steam. jeez people. people will quote the nuclear disater at Chernobyl until they are blue in the face in order to negate the usefullness of nuclear energy which is 100% renewable btw. yes, it was a tragic tragic accident. but may i reiterate, NOT caused by nuclear power, but by faulty building, poor managment and an atrocious lack of knowledge. it happened 20 years ago. since then (in fact at that time) we in the west had the reactor designs which were so safe that the Chernobyl accident should NEVER have happened. 28 people died, 19 have died since, in total there have been 56 fatalities, that is a tiny number of people in comparison to those who suffered in the Coal Mines, were they shut because of the danger? no, they were shut because they were economically damaging. the UN report stated that there is no significant radiation related health effects to most people exposed to the radiation, this was later confirmed by an extensive study last year, extensive studies HAVE shown that coal dust caused various debilitating lung illnesses. they will then go onto say, 'well nuclear bombs are awful' yes they are, but the military were using nuclear power long before it became a civilian enterprise. it is a totally different way of using the power source, utterly unrelated. many of the modern inventions we take for granted these days were created in times of war, deal with it. Nuclear power is the cleanest way of survival for us at this moment in time. at the moment there are NO, i repeat NO permanent disposal dumps for nuclear waste. 96% of the waste goes into re-processing and is RE USED. (isnt that what we are striving for) if you actually have a desire to know what you're talking about when you rabbit on about how 'bad' nuclear waste is and how we should all stick a wind turbine on our roofs please read this [url=http://www.world-nuclear.org/education/wast.htm]http://www.world-nuclear.org/education/wast.htm and educate yourself!

Posted: Monday 6 March 2006 02 28 03 pm in topic:Am I the only one who thought that the GoF film s*cked? I had been so excited about the film for so long (it's my favourite book) I made the mistake of looking at all the video clips as they came out, screenshots etc that were available for the film prior to release that I was sat in the cinema thinking I've actually seen this film! It was disappointing but mostly because I'd seen too much of it already and read all the news articles etc. This said though, I can't wait for the DVD!!! I know that Ron's Owl; Pig was meant to be in the film so I hope he's on deleted scenes on the DVD as they didn't show it in the film in the end.
