Harry Potter Fans

I usually prefer to watch movies before reading the books if possible, but on Harry Potter I think reading the books before seeing the movies worked better. So much is left out in the movies that it really helped knowing the "whole" story. My husband and sons prefer to just leave it at watching the movies and don't plan on reading the books...their loss.

I am looking forward to the movie..though I thought the last movie was kinda sucky, but then, Half Blood Prince was my least favorite of the books. I nearly fell asleep in the movie and was kinda miffed because it was the one movie we actually paid full price for when we normally go for matinees..

I think the Battle of Hogwarts and the end of the movie is going to be the most epic movie part ever. At least it should be; hopefully they don't ruin that.

Sadly, pictures are not allowed. There was one thing in the Museum lobby that we could take pictures of, but we weren't allowed to take cameras in the actual exhibit. It's a shame, because it really was awesome.

What was some of the stuff that was in the exhibit?

I agree...they'd better do it justice! It should be awesome! I read an article a few weeks ago that listed some things that they'd better have in DH, according to fans, and Mrs Weasley's "Not my daughter you bitch!" was one of them, lol.

They have all kinds of props and things from the movie sets, and it's kind of like you're walking through the books. There's the Gryffindor Common Room, Hagrid's hut, and Hogwart's dining hall, to name a few. They even have a room that has a bunch of Umbridge's decrees hanging on the walls. It's really awesome!

I will provide a detailed description! (And maybe sneak some photos with my camera phone!)

And @bones206: It seems that part is added for the movie but I love what Harry says to him there!

I think there's going to be some changes but hopefully they will stay faithful. Well not too faithful. There's alot of them wandering around in the book. I'm sure they will cut that down to get to the action.

As long as SPOILER ALERT the scene at Shell Cottage with Dobby is in, then I will be happy. I rarely cry at books but that made me tear up.

Yeah, I was gonna sneak some pics with my phone as well, but they wouldn't even let you take those in with you. No cameras or cell phones were allowed in the exhibit. Although unless they actually check your pockets, I can't see how well they can enforce that. However, I followed the rules...with my luck, they would have checked mine...

I'm listening to the Prisoner of Azkaban soundtrack and it just makes me fall more in love with the series.

It was the most incredibly awesome thing I have ever seen! Seriously, I feel like having a marathon and watching all the movies now. But more than that, it made me want to devour the books again. The level of detail is incredible!! I also couldn't take pics but if everyone wants to know what it was like, I can give a good description!!

With the hype for the movie coming about I am thinking about re-reading the last book, just to refresh my memory because I haven't read it since it came out and even then I read it in a day. I can't wait til November, you can bet they will leave us hanging and wanting to tear our hair out til July...even though we know how it all ends

You should reread it for sure! I've read it about 5 or 6 times and it keeps getting better and better!

I now only lack the soundtrack for Chamber of Secrets... the music is so gooooooooooooood

I just got the Soundtrack for Prisoner of Azkaban! My fave soundtrack so far... Then again, I only have POA and GOF...

The first soundtrack is so classic, but I like the sixth one

I like all of them...

But, I have mixed feelings on them putting Hedwig's Theme into the song "Ginny" and on the DH trailer. I'm not so sure that I like the "rock-ish" version of Hedwig's Theme...

My school is offering a Harry Potter elective course. Its called A Hero's Journey. Pretty epic! In the fall is the first time it's being offered and I signed up! I only hope that my schedule allows me to fit it in

HOW COOL!!!!! Do you have the class description by any chance????

I don't! But when I get it I will tell you! I know we will read the books if not skim them. And I know my 8th grade english teacher is teaching it! And she is beyond amazing! And we might see the movies. Only 20 people can take the class

WOOT WOOT!!!! I just downloaded the "A Very Potter Musical" soundtrack, and I love it!!!!

NOT. FAIR.


Ugh, the only good thing about the end of summer vacation is that it means we're getting closer to November!

I don't know if anyone has seen this but it's awesome!

There's a sequel too. Seriously, I hum the Hogwarts Totally Awesome song at least once a day. Plus, I rewatched the movies and all I could think about when I saw Draco was Pigfarts.

OMG! Harry Potter 7 part. 1 had a test sreening today in Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's a podcast with details on the movie on mugglenet.com!!!

SO excited!!!!!!

If you've listened to it, could you tell me where they ended the first movie? Just add it in a spoiler tag to be safe (if it's mentioned in the review). Thanks!
