    Re: Who has seen Harry Potter 6 yet?

    Alright...things must be said here.

    The movie was awesome. The best one yet IMHO. Not because it told the most story from the book (that was #1), or because it had the most action (4 and 5), but because it combined all these elements well!
    Movie 3 was awful because it told the least story AND all those 'extra cinematic' scenes had nothing to do with the story at all. They just wanted it to look nice.
    But movie 6 still told the important, core elements of the story while still keeping it a movie that captured the attention with good cinematic effects. Yes, they left out a lot...but they had to or this movie would have been 4 hours long. What they left in, though, was what needed to be told: the story of the horcruxes and the issues with the kids in how their lives were changing.

    Remember, Movies and Books are two VERY different mediums. You can do things with one that could never be done with the other. When turning one into the other, there is a lot that gets lost, changed, or reduced. That doesn't mean it's bad, it just means it's different.

    And I don't know where the idea that those relationships were made up came from. Every relationship in that movie was in the book. These kids are now 16...you cannot tell a story about 16 year olds without emotional relations and kissing. Also, these stories are from the British Isles where they like to focus on different things from Americans. Maybe all the relationship stuff doesn't appeal to us, but it does to them.

    Anyway, that's my rant for the day. I adore the books and (most of the) movies alike and can't wait to see what they do with movie 7.
