Im not straight but my boyfriend is
This is a thread for those of us who wish to talk about the movie that just came out. SPOILERS will probably abound in this thread, though I will put mine behind a cut.
DO NOT come in here and bash Harry Potter fans. I'm serious.
My thoughts on the movie:
[hide] I actually really enjoyed this movie, despote the fast that I was sitting front row at a midnight showing, with my neck cranked back. I literally had to look at
ONE SIDE OF THE SCREEEN AND THEN THE OTHER SIDE OVER HERE.
Anyways, some points that I'd like to talk about:
- Sirius. Now when Gary Oldman was first introduced as Sirius Black, I didn't like it. Gary Oldman was WAY too old (In the third book, I believe he was only about 36, and Gary Oldman looks MUCH older) and still very handsome looking. But in this movie, I think he actually did quite well, although I would still prefer someone a little younger looking, a little more handsome. Don't even get me started on David Thewlis as Remus because I will surely kill something.
- I LOVED. LOVED. Lucius Malfoy. But then again I always love him because he is indeed, a sexy bitch. The end.
- I loved the way they changed the death eaters for this one. The new masks, the swirling apparating and what not...that was just so much better than previous portrayals of the death eaters.
- When Sirius was speaking to Harry through the fire was MUCH improved from the third movie. I hated that the coals formed his face, it was so lame! this was much better, much more artistic. Looked way better.
- Sirius dying. Now, in the book, I do believe Bellatrix hit him with a stupefy, and then he fell through the veil and 'died'. And me, possibly being naive, had hope that Rowling would bring him back in the seventh book. Because falling through a fucking veil is no way for Sirius Black to die.
But in the MOVIE, Bellatrix hit him with an Avada Kedavra spell, and then he fell into the veil. And we all know what Avada Kedavra does. So this either means that Rowling a) Didn't care enough to correct it or b) Is okay with the fact that Bellatrix performed the death spell because Sirius really IS dead.
But also in the film, Bellatrix hit him with Avada Kedavra and he was still clearly alive before falling into the veil...which is WRONG.
- I loved the way the actress portrayed Umbridge. ARGHH I wanted to bloody well break all her kitten plates and shove the shards down her throat so I didn't have to hear an, "Ahem, ahem!" Although I so would have liked McGonagall to ask her if she wanted a cough drop. That was one of my favourite parts in the book. I have so much love for McGonagall.

I think I'll save the rest of my thoughts for later in the thread LOL you guys don't want to read a novel.
