Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

[K9soul]

I went yesterday and really enjoyed it. I haven't read the books, but I can say that when going to a movie that is based off a book, you have to go expecting that everything will not be exactly as it was in the book. I actually usually prefer to read books AFTER a movie if possible, otherwise I'm too distracted in the movie by what is different or how close it is to really focus on it as a seperate entity. I remember when reading people's reactions to Lord of the Rings on various reviews and websites, most people were amazed and enchanted by the movie, but there are always a few who are so caught up in the differences from the books that they actually couldn't even enjoy the movie!

Anyway, just some rambling thoughts from me this morning. I did feel the ending was "left hanging" some, but for the purpose of picking up later from where it left off. Was the book ending left hanging a bit? I think I probably enjoyed this one and the last one the most so far of the movies .

The book had a pretty cliff hanger type ending too, so I'm not surprised that the movie does. I'd be surprised if it didn't.

Still haven't seen the movie yet though. 5 more days, 5 more days, 5 more days.

I went last night to see the movie, and, I absolutely loved it! I plan to go and get the books, now, to read them. But, I do know that I risk not enjoying the next movies as much if I do that. But, maybe if I read the books now, by the time the movies come out, it won't be that big of a deal. I really loved the movie, though. I thought the tension between Hermione and Ron was really sweet.

Good plan, so far it's working for me....I read the book about a year ago and loved the movie. I'm just now working on the next one so I have it done in plenty of time for the movie.

Well, I have had a day to think it over and I have to say that it was ok, but When you have read a book about 4 times and then see the movie all changed around it is a little disturbing. I liked the way they made 3 fit as a movie a lot though, I think I'll just keep to the books. I also say Pride and Prejudice on Saturday at my friend's sweet 16 and that was awsome, I am planning on reading the book and afterwards renting and re-watching the movie without a friend joking and poking me and falling asleep on me.

I had no desire to read anything HP until this past summer. Then I read all 6 books in a month! I absolutely LOVED them!
Saw GOF today.
My favorite book was probably the Half blood prince -
movie - hmmm probably Prisoner of Azkaban.
I loved this one but they cut out some of my favorite parts like the beetle thing.
The book was way better but all in all I think it was excellant.
As we were leaving I heard some guy say "I heard Voldemort is in the next 2-3 movies" I was like "read the book idiot!"

We had a technical glitch too. The screen was frozen on the "Turn off your cell phones" message for about 10 minutes before some Einstein decided to kick the machine. Dang Microsoft crashware!
