Warner Brother's Plot Synopsis

Quote :

"Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was. Harry suspects that dangers may even lie within the castle, but Dumbledore is more intent upon preparing him for the final battle that he knows is fast approaching. Together they work to find the key to unlock Voldemort's defenses and, to this end, Dumbledore recruits his old friend and colleague, the well-connected and unsuspecting bon vivant Professor Horace Slughorn, whom he believes holds crucial information. Meanwhile, the students are under attack from a very different adversary as teenage hormones rage across the ramparts. Harry finds himself more and more drawn to Ginny, but so is Dean Thomas. And Lavender Brown has decided that Ron is the one for her, only she hadn't counted on Romilda Vane's chocolates! And then there's Hermione, simpering (sic) with jealousy but determined not to show her feelings. As romance blossoms, one student remains aloof. He is determined to make his mark, albeit a dark one. Love is in the air, but tragedy lies ahead and Hogwarts may never be the same again."

2/15/2008 9:35:30 PM

2/15/2008 9:36:27 PM

2/15/2008 9:50:34 PM

i thought harry potter died?

2/16/2008 1:03:31 AM

Not yet.

2/16/2008 1:04:07 AM

The first sentence in these things should be

She's legal.

or

She's not yet legal.

The rest of it isn't really relevant.

2/16/2008 1:06:43 AM

You people need to take this seriously, its important

2/16/2008 8:18:47 AM

2/16/2008 8:25:58 AM

heck of a year for "kids" movies. Spiderwick, Prince Caspian, Harry Potter, Wall-E...

2/16/2008 8:33:49 AM

wall e looks good though

2/16/2008 12:23:48 PM

Ho-ly sh it, I totally hadn't noticed that we haven't even seen a cameo of Narcissa in the movies until now. And she's a really great character, too.

2/16/2008 2:28:32 PM

what does it say on the top of the poster?

2/16/2008 5:50:17 PM

^ i am not afraid. i am with you

2/16/2008 6:03:52 PM

Oh yeah...Let it Begin...Hope they put some quidditch in this one...it's a pretty important plot with Ron & Ginny (sp??)

2/19/2008 6:43:23 PM

Yeah I think they use quidditch in this one, because it is the setup for a big moment if I'm remembering the moment correctly, it's been a while since I read it, haha.

2/19/2008 8:26:35 PM

i'm getting tired of these

i can't remember what happens in each one

2/19/2008 9:07:04 PM

Harry defeats Voldemort; someone important dies. Repeat.

But I'm excited anyways. The most recent movies still haven't topped the greatness of Prisoner of Azkaban.

2/20/2008 9:48:50 AM

I thought they had gotten Naomi Watts to play Narcissa. I will have to reread this one as I don't remember who the half-blood prince is.

I know it's not for this movie... but still interesting:

Quote :

"Last 'Harry Potter' Book Becomes 2 Films Thursday March 13 5:50 AM ET Harry Potter was the center of seven novels, but he'll star in eight films. The final book in the wildly successful series will be made into two films, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday. Producers are expected to announce Thursday that J.K. Rowling's last "Potter" installment, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," will be split into two parts on the big screen. The first film is slated for release in November 2010, with part two following in May 2011. "It was born out of purely creative reasons," producer David Heyman told the Times. "Unlike every other book, you cannot remove elements of this book." The two final "Potter" films will be shot concurrently, much like the blockbuster trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings" Another famous Tolkien tome, "The Hobbit" is also being split into two live-action movies set for back-to-back shooting to begin next year. Filming on the sixth "Potter" flick, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," began in September. "It's been brilliant," said star Daniel Radcliffe. "It's also, I think, the funniest of the films so far." The "Potter" film franchise has pulled in $4.5 billion at the worldwide box office"

Splitting the last book into two films?

What a ripoff, they should just make it 3.5 hours like Return of the King.

3/13/2008 1:49:41 PM

gotta milk it for all it's worth

3/13/2008 2:04:19 PM

But then people who never read the books would bitch and moan about 4 endings all over again.

3/13/2008 2:10:22 PM

I like the idea and glad they are doing it. I felt the past two movies have felt rushed.

3/13/2008 2:28:50 PM

At least Danny Radcliffe will make a more plausible 15 year old than 14

that neck is like a tree trunk

^^Wizards age differently. Duh.

3/13/2008 5:07:23 PM

Maybe he has a magical goiter that gives him all his powers.

3/13/2008 8:44:23 PM

I'm just gonna watch it to see the last 10 minutes when snape whips dumbledore's ass

5/13/2008 11:50:28 PM

Oh yeah...bring it on...

5/13/2008 11:55:15 PM

Snape kills dumbledore. Bellatrix kills Dobby. And other people that die: Hedwig, Madeye, Wormtail, Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Tonk's dad Ted, Snape DOES get killed by Voldemort, Colin Creevey, some guy named Dirk Cresswell who was with Ted, and Harry kills Voldemort

5/14/2008 12:02:53 AM

Along the way they've totally abandoned the fact that Harry is supposed to have wild, unkempt hair that grows back faster than normal. Dude looks like he just came out of the barbershop in this one.

5/14/2008 12:16:24 AM

needs more fleur delacour

5/14/2008 12:49:13 AM

Less Fleur and more Quidditch, alot more Quidditch, it plays a large role in the storyline. I am glad they are putting Quidditch back in the plot.

aha, I was sitting in the IMAX wondering why they didn't give us at least a shot or a clip of something. oh well, im still pumped.

7/20/2008 12:30:01 PM

I could only half understand what he said.

Once again, I must fast too much of you Harry"

missed far too much?

[Edited on July 21, 2008 at 8:22 AM. Reason : -]

7/21/2008 8:22:02 AM

"Once again I must ask you to do the impossible, Harry."

7/21/2008 11:36:12 AM

i heard it "once again, i must ask too much of you harry"

7/21/2008 12:38:25 PM

yeah, i heard that too. that is what it said on some blog that i googled.

should have just listened to it.

7/21/2008 4:33:57 PM

Dumbledore sounds like Assy McGee

7/21/2008 6:24:47 PM

I didn't really like the 3D portions in IMAX for the last movie. It just wasn't crisp, and kind of gave me a headache. I wish they would just do it in regular IMAX.

7/21/2008 9:02:38 PM

mmm gay wizards

7/21/2008 9:19:09 PM

set 'em up
