Amph Gaming Diagon Alley: The Official Harry Potter Thread/Hogwarts Legacy

That was the only one that came out in 3D

 

20 years since Sorcerer's Stone/Philosophers Stone book, 10 years since Deathly Hallows book and same year as the Epilogue. I want to see some of them in theaters again. I don't really remember SS or COS in theaters. I also want to see the final action sequence in OOTP again.

 

The way he says 'Did what?' near the end of PoA, is absolutely wondrous.

 

Are you unaware of this thing called money?

 

How about other than money?

 

So we can relive the magic? Yes I know the movies aren't as good as the books but I would love to see the movies especially the earlier ones on the big screen again.

 

Well if they are only re-released in US, than that would suck since I live in Canada and i would see them again in Theatres, and IMHO the movies are just as good as the books, i love the movies and the books just he same

 

I would expect the movies to be released globally. No idea why just the US. Still early. No problem for me but can see why people would not be happy. The movies have a lot of good parts in them but I feel a bit let down by them. They are some of my favorite movies ever though.

 

Well dang I feel old. Thanks a lot bud.

Heh -- now that would be a sight.

But dude, none of them? Do yourself a favor and at least read the first one -- the one that y'know, doesn't look like a dictionary or ASoIaF novel. You'll get an idea of the nutty-prof Dumbledore who Harry's so quick to befriend and defend. Movie Dumbledore always seemed very aloof and cold -- more like the school principal everyone's trying to impress rather than the lighthearted eccentric teacher who's trying to be everyone's friend.

(...which is why in the books it's all the more sinister he's got that dark past. The movies sort of lost that element.)

 

Well we still have 4 years until that point. It is shocking that we are getting close to that kind of milestone though.

 

4 years is gonna be like 2 seconds! I remember sitting down to read the first HP book and wondering why everyone was making such a big deal about it as if it were yesterday! And you're telling me that was almost 15 years ago?!?

(actually hold on now -- the US release date was the latter part of 1998, so I probably read it early 1999... when TPM came out... which means TPM is almost 15 years old too.... WWWWTTTTFFFFFF!!!! WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE?!?)

I'm off to have an existential crisis.

 

I don't think Harris' Dumbledore seems very cold, he is friendly, but at the same time filled with wisdom and power.

 

I was 12 when the movie came out, it's indeed awesome for kids, sadly most of the OT SW fans at that time were older.

 

True. I can't believe its almost been 3 years since HS ended for me. By the end of next summer I will graduate college. I got into the series when the Chamber of Secrets Paperback was released. Not sure when that was. Fall 1999 right before POA came out? I had ordered SS/PS from a catalogue thing at school and found COS PB a couple days later. So I'm not sure. It is scary thinking 14-15 years have passed. Can't believe its been almost 14 years for TPM as well. That is scary. That movie has been out longer than more than half I've been alive. Harry Potter as well. I'm getting too old for this.

 

Goblet of Fire came out in 2000. Best book behind DH IMO. Yes I know the plot is contrived but it was great to me. I could never finish that book in a day until 04/05 after I read OOTP in a day. Always took me two days for some reason. I know I read DH in less than 12 hours. I had a lot of time on my hands.

 

I was only 8 when the PS came out, damn that was a long time ago

 

LOL, it takes me at least a month to read OOTP

 

It feels as if my life has been nothing but Harry Potter and Star Wars. It probably was wrong of me to say that but good lord thinking how much of my life has been consumed by those 2 series' its ridiculous.

 

I couldn't do it now. Too much bad stuff happens. Umbridge, Malfoy, Snape, Bellatrix, Fudge, Voldemort etc really slow it down. Nothing goes right. I think in my last series reread I got it in 3 days? Good enough.

 

DH is my probably my favourite but i can't read it without reading the first 6 first, but i can watch DH Part 2 without having to watch the others, weird
