I don't know how old your sister is, but if she's one of the fans who started back with part 1, when Rowling was still writing what was basically a children's book, I can imagine. Part 6 is chaotic, menacing and pretty mature in that it is full of violence, evil and hate.
Anyway, the 'fun' doesn't *really* start 'till part three. Lupin & Black all the way!

I was never very clear on her grievances with that book (I sort of just nod and say 'ahhhh'). Chiefly she seemed to think it was very poorly written and somewhat.. inconsistent, character-wise, when considering the books that came before it.
But as I say.... I really don't have a clue about any of it!!

Yes, 'tis true. I've read them all. (well, except for #7, which is to be released on the 21st in the States).

My biggest worry with Book 7 is that I will accidently find out details of the plot before I get to read them myself.
longest book so far = shortest film so far = not a positive thing.
As a non-reader of the books I found it lacking in actual plot. Could Helena Bonham-Carter have been used any less and still got a credit?
Very poor.

Imagine this - you go to the book store and some little kid looks at the last page and screams out, "Oh, no! Harry is dead!" Maybe ear plugs would work. Haha. Or imagine this: you go to a discount store to buy it and the dumb sales clerk says, "Oh, you'll like that. It has a happy ending." Anyway, maybe I am too worried about this. Maybe I should order Book 7 from Amazon.[/QUOTE]
That happened to me with the sixth one before i read about who got murdered some lil knob can't even remember who, was like 'How did you feel when ...'
Needless to say they now know never to spoil book endings again ...

Sorry, because it really wasn't intended that way. I should have reworded my post to say that I had read all the books that had been released thus far. The less said, the better. I hang my head in shame.

I saw it on my birthday, Friday. I thought it was great. Definetly the best movie.

It's the Queenzone way! :D
(I was half serious, and half not-so-serious. But I do have a way of just typing and not evaluating before I hit "post message.")

I wish there had been a LOT more Snape. But I thought it was good; Luna was excellent... Umbridge was quite good at being evil... But, again, there should have been more Snape! Snape's lessons were a bigger part in the book, there should have been at least one more scene of them in the film. I think it rushed a bit... But, again, still a worthwhile film.
