In the movies, how are they going to be able to say Kreacher's tale since they didn't have the whole cleaning out of Grimmauld's Place in the fifth movie?

Also, how are they supposed to bring up the whole looking into the mirror and seeing Aberforth's (sp?) eye in it since they didn't have the mirriors in the fifth movie?

I guess they're going to have to twist things up like they did in the 5th movie.

They're going to make it into a James Bond movie- then plot won't really matter.

Wylde, that's what really made me mad about the HP movies. They leave out little details that are important to tying in the 7th book/movie.

The 5th movie is good the first time you see it, but afterwards I noticed the flaws and missing details.

Damn, people getting all riled up about it, talking about how it will poison children's minds by reading it... (even ignoring the entire debate over whether gay people are acceptable or not) they should consider that it doesn't even come up in the books at all, and that the only way a child reading those books would even know about it is if their news-following parents were to tell them... not to mention the fact that even if a child knew he was gay while reading the books, since it never actually comes up at all, the most impression they'd get from it would be that gay people are pretty much the same as everyone else (if anything, they'd see it as less sexually active, due to the fact that all the protagonists go through straight crushes and relationships and have issues relating to that, whereas Dumbledore doesn't).

They tell me this will work one day

I FINALLY FINISHED THE BOOK. LoL I had it since day one too.

SPOILERS








To be honest I had higher expectations for the book the book did not really get interesting until the end probably one of the reasons I would read like 2 chapters and then not touch it for a a week or so.

Overall I thought the ending came together well. But I was hoping for the book to be a bit more suspensful and darker in the final duels. I mean Voldemort getting killed by his own spell? I had a feeling something like that would happen but I was imagining something a little more epic.

I guess Im kinda sad Fred died and as Kaz said they didnt even talk about Luna in the Epilogue. I dont know I still enjoyed the book but I guess I imagined the ending a bit different.

It was like watching episode III and seeing anakin turn to vader. Everyone had their own version of the story and when finishing the movie I kept saying to myself "is this it?" I felt like I was saying that to myself through many parts of the book.
