Who is all going to see the last two films?
And by last two I mean it's one film split into two parts. o.O
I'm kind of happy I get to see it. The trailer looked okay and the author of the book. She has a pretty creative mind.
At least in my humble opinion. 
What do you all think about the movies?

A few days ago I saw that new one, The Half Blood Prince thinger. I don't know if I could sit through it again. It was exceedingly boring up until the last 40 minutes, and even those kind of dragged on. Granted it wasn't as bloody awful as the Goblet of Fire but it was pretty damn close.

I'm going to watch them!

I love Harry Potter (not the character) and I want to see how they do it!  I'm so excited, it makes me squeal on the inside!

I'll watch it, if only so I can put an end to the more than a decade of waiting on this whole damned thing to finish :P

I'll wait till it's out on DVD. Kinda spoils the (close to $30 movie price) moment when you already know the ending.

$2.99 rental > $30 theater

(ROCK) ---> ME <--- (HARD PLACE)

Yeah, I'm going to go see it for sure with a few friends. D8
I enjoy the CG in the movies more then the movies and I sort of grew up with Harry Potter. So, I'm going to end it with this last movie. xD
And 30 bucks for seeing it's outrageous. =\

I love Harry Potter, I've read all the books and enjoy the movies. I don't really know if the audience can really enjoy the movies, especially after the third instalment -Prisoner of Azkaban, without having read the books.
The movies leave out a lot of important and relevant information, so I am sure the last two will stump people as to why the story unfolds the way it does.  :)
But I'm excited!!  :laugh:

I know someone who loves the movies and has never read the books.  And she won't read the books until the movies are done so the books just add to the movies instead of the movies taking away.

And $30 is crazy!  I pay about $8 for each movie, and I sneak in my own candy and drink so I maybe pay $11 in total. <.< >.>

What a fab idea, it will probably enhance the experience knowing the characters already while reading. I think there will be moments when she will say, 'now I get it'.  ;) 

I'm not irritated like the die-hard book fans about the differences between books and movies. Only when I've watched the movies with friends who haven't read the books, I did have to fill in a lot of the information for them (e.g who made the marauders map), which of course, I gladly did.  ;D  hehe

i've read 'em all =/ and i guess even if i hadn't ,i'm not even capable of waiting for the movie then read the story
although watching the movie after reading the story has it's advantages

I agree with you 100%. xD I love the books WAY more then the movies but it's also fun to compare the books and movies to each other. I think so at least. haha
I'm that much a nerd and get bored easily. :x It's always fun to compare both movie or book...no matter what it is.

Probably should have mentioned.... $30 covers two people getting into the theater with no pop corn and soda, that's another $12.

They do pocket checks at our theaters, can't even get in with a glasses case in your pocket with out getting asked to show what's in your pocket. Purses are a totally different, looks like a line at the airport getting checked in for a flight =/

That would be why I carry a big purse, or whoever I'm with carries a big purse.  My sister and I would sneak big bags of popcorn, soda, and candy for the whole family in our purses, completely worth saving money over.

I say just sneak it in through your pants. I've done it before. I shoved bottles of soda and candy inside my pants or used my binding and shoved smaller things in there. Just try to walk as normal as you can.
It should make it worth seeing. Dx Possibly...

I just rewatched all the movies with my sister this week and I love them all! The last one was my least favorite because it didn't seem to have a great climax like the rest of them, and my sister told me they changed so many things and from what she told me the book had better scenes =/, but I did enjoy it. My favorite is still the fourth one. My favorite book too. (I read 1-4 lol) But I will probably see these in theaters. I saw all but the 6th on in theaters too. I'm so excited! =D

Will definitely be seeing the last two movies.  Love the books.  Movie (and book) #6 was kind of boring for me, because of all the focus on relationships and I'm just not a big romance fan at all, I'm all about the action.  I wish they'd showed more of Voldemort's memories in the movie, that was the most fascinating part of book 6.

Voldemort's?  Gah!  I can't remember...

I wanted to see more of Snape's memories wherever they were supposed to pop up.  And I wanted to see more of the young Snape...he just looked so sexy in the brief glimpses.

I'm getting more and more excited as November creeps closer.
