Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Me likey.
Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Fucking brilliant so it was.
I thought it would be shit and boring because it had been slagged off so much, but I thought the acting from the leads was excellent and it whizzed along with great pace and excitement. Even after a couple of hours I would have been quite happy to sit and watch the final installment.

Yep, the core story is told properly despite the necessary conflation of the plot. The mood and tone are faithful to the book, IMNSHO.devogue wrote:Fucking brilliant so it was.

HP is for children. Of all ages.

I think I saw the first one many years ago. Haven´t seen another one since and have never read the books!
I´m just a delicate little flower!

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I had motivation to read them. Brenda as a children's librarian and read the books for her courses. And naturally, she had to have someone to argue about them with. For that reason, but not solely that reason, I have read them all and seen all the movies. And I'm not insecure enough in my adulthood to pretend they're "beneath me."Sælir eru einfaldir wrote:I think I saw the first one many years ago.

Okay, OGBs, your turn.

lol... it's just meant for kids and it kind of shows, and some of us get bored by that sort of thing. Hardly a mystery, and that's why the "book for children" argument crops up.
Far be it from me to say I'm superior because of this, 'tis simply my taste and, sure, I might bully someone a bit by tossing in a snide remark about that

I'd rather read Ulysess

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Hehe, I´ve heard they are quite entertaining so I wouldn´t mind reading them. I just haven´t had the opportuninty yet (so many things I want to read etc.)Gawdzilla wrote:I had motivation to read them. Brenda as a children's librarian and read the books for her courses.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I said nothing about "snooty". This is not the only forum I'm on where HP is being discussed, and the OGBs come out of the woodwork at the mention of Harry.Eriku wrote:You really think that's what's making us snooty about Harry Potter?Gawdzilla wrote:I had motivation to read them.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Weird to think that after another 145 minutes or so of film there will be no more Harry pending. Books done. Movies done. And slim fuckin' chance for a reality TV show.

Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I have no time for books and a long list I want to read. Anything my sister gushes about is barred from the list for all eternity, that includes Harry Potter and Twilight.
Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?
