The Official Thread For: Harry Potter & The Order Of The Phoenix

lol harry looks so nerdy as an action figure.

 

[Swordmaster]

Ah, so they're using the stag for the Patronus now, eh? But what's the purpose? They'd need to explain the Marauders for it to have a significant effect, I feel

 

[Socrates]

Harry's Patronus:

I'll probably buy it.

 

[Dr. Fate]

That's one helluva toy ice sculpture.

 

[JLBats]

That toy looks incredibly... gay.

Look, what I mean to say is... Harry greatly resembles a homosexual

 

[LEX]

There are higher-res clips of the ABC special here from which you can make out a few more interesting background details, such as Bellatrix's spot on the tapestry and her lack (!) of a wedding ring.

[DCW]

How gothic.

 

[OtepApe]

Those toys look kinda crappy. Harry's patronus is a stag, nice of them to tell the movie watchers

 

[Maximus One]

what is that behind bellatrix it almost looks like the black family tree or somethin?

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

Yes, it's the tree.

That toy looks incredibly... gay.

Look, what I mean to say is... Harry greatly resembles a homosexual

well...you can tell who a homosexual is by looking at them?

HA! You're shallow?

Look, what I mean to say is...you seem to greatly resemble an idiot

 

[Dr. Fate]

Looks like it's just background fodder.

One thing that really worries me about the movie is the "conversation" between Harry and Dumbledore at the end of the movie. After the lack of explanation in the Shrieking Shack an shortened interegation of Barty Crouch Jr. I fear that this scene will be butchered as well. This is probably one of the most important scenes in the entire story, when Dumbledore finally treats Harry like a man and tells him why he is "the boy who lived", I really hope this scene stays intact, but I fear it'll be shortened in the way the Shrieking Shack scene was and many very important details will be cut for pacing and time.

That's a very valid fear, actually.

I figure it'll be something like this...

Dumbledore: Harry, its my fault Sirius is dead.
Harry: *Throws something of Dumbledore's like in the book*
Dumbledore: *jumps up and slams Harry against a wall and starts shaking him*

Hehe, just kidding, but seriously, Gambon's portrayl of Dumbledore in this scene worries me. Not only is Dumbledore incredibly kind to Harry during it (despite Harry's behavior), but he pretty much tells Harry he loves him like a son, and informs him of the unfortunate fact that he must face Voldemort. I'm just not sure that Gambon can do it. His Dumbledore is too rough, too agressive. He seems to lack the softness that will be required for this scene.

man, in one way i cannot wait for this film to come out, and in another i'm not so enthusiastic. this was by far, the darkest, most depressing page turner out of the 6 books thus far. each page got worse and worse. hopefully this film will try to perk up the minimal humor and light things in the book to help balance most of the storyline. but i also hope they really play those dark parts well,

Spoiler

sirius's death, in the book i found it way too fast

and the conversation at the end with dumbledore and harry. this is a chance for both to really show their acting chops, with luck, there won't be a dry eye in the theatre.

 

[Matt]

Spoiler

sirius's death, in the book i found it way too fast

Real death is. Most people don't get the long, drawn out, deathbed speech

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

A long and drawn out death is crap too, you sort of realize the fact that person's dying, and then it goes on and on and you get bored and stop caring about the character. A short death makes you think "WTF just happened?" and then you come to a realization five minutes later and accept it

 

[Ultimate Movie-Man]

How gothic.

Well, that's the idea. They are death eaters and followers of voldemort, after all. It's not like they're going around Englad with pink jumpers with bunnies on them and rainbows yelling that they think voldemort's the best thing since sliced bread and he wouldn't hurt a fly.

That's what's scary about the eaters...they know he does this stuff, but don't exactly care, or do, but don't do anything about it...

 

[Avalanche]

It's not just that. It was generally too confusing. It wasn't instantly apparant that

Spoiler

Sirius was dead.

I hope the film makes it that little bit more definitive.

 

[xwolverine2]

LOL!...this doesnt look right!t: t:

 

[Jolie_Desastre]

Real death is. Most people don't get the long, drawn out, deathbed speech

i meant the dramatic part of it. how harry had to move on that quickly. i know that's what happens in real life but i just thought they could make it look more dramatic ( not necessarily longer) in the film.

I really think Gambon can portray Dumbledore very well, it's more whether the director knows who Dumbledore is. I thought Gambon did a great job in Prisoner of Azkaban, but in Goblet of Fire he was way too physical. After seeing the clips during Chamber of Secrets last week, I really do think this director understands the series and will get the correct performance from Gambon. The real question is whether Warner Bros. will let him keep a dialouge heavy scene like this in the movie.

As for the imfamous death, I think the real power from that scene is when Harry uses the mirror and talks to Nearly Headless Nick about it. I'd be really, really suprised if either of these scenes made it into the movie, but that's where I felt the impact from the death was felt.

I wasn't bashing it, I just felt like making a random comment.
