Ooh, Harry Potter Fan Club!
Name: Jake
What house are you in?: Hufflepuff
Who killed our parents?: Voldemort. :(
Describe your wand: 9 inch, Emerald Gems are on it.
Are you excited to see the finale movie of Harry Potter? What scenes are you excited the most? Will you be disappointed if those scenes aren't included?
Well, I'm not sure actually. Um...., Voldemort trying to kill harry?
Um, I would kinda actually be disappointed.

If Voldemort killing Harry was cut, we wouldn't have a movie. xD

I'm hoping that Lupin bursting into Shell Cottage to announce Teddy's birth isn't cut. I was disappointed that he didn't have a huge role in part 1, so I'm a little happier that he's getting a slightly bigger role in part 2 since he fights in the war.

Good idea. Why not Neville's too?

I can't wait for the part where they jump off the tower holding hands to their deaths. XD

Banners would be nice. I'm not sure how we'd do a role play though, but it sounds rather interesting.

So what do you all think "Pottermore" might be? JKR's next big thing?

I hope it's just an extension of not-really-Harry-Potter related things in the Potter world. :D Like maybe more of those textbook things (like the magical creatures one and the Quidditch book [damn you, firefox dictionary, Quidditch is totally a word!]), or some novels about other events in wizarding history or future. I think the series wrapped up pretty solidly for Harry and I worry that basing a new series on the next generation, or continuing his story might cheapen the ending in book 7.

Unrelatedly:

New trailer for DH part 2. ;____; I am going to bawl at this movie guys. This trailer even makes me tear up.

I can definitely relate. I can't wait to see this but at the same time, I'm dreading it because I know it's the end. Except then that pottermore thing leaked out so now I'm not sure what to think. But it's still the end of the saga I grew up with so. ;~;

I'm gonna see it with my best friends from HS. We came out of the first part and went "midnight showing for part 2?" and all nodded in agreement. I'm even cutting a vacation short so I can fly back home and see it with them. And I have one friend who'll cry even more than I will so we'll sit next to each other and not be ashamed at all to be bawling at the sad parts. XD;

Someone was criticizing how Rowling ended the final confrontation was a "big anti-climatic farcical let-down". He further stated that the flashing lights, canon correction, and new dialogues will add action to the movie. Either this person is more of an action-type movie-goer, or I don't know what. I'd love to ask him how would he have written that "showdown" scene.

To me, I think because this series have been running for so long, we were awaiting some kind of "stare-down" between Voldemort and Harry, and after so much has happened from Book 1 to Book 6, we're so ready to take him down now, no matter how Rowling ended it. What do you guys think?

That's kind of how I felt. I didn't care exactly how it ended, so long as it did and in a mostly happy way.

I do kind of hope that the movie concentrates a bit more on the deaths at Hogwarts in the end. D: iirc in the book, Harry just mutely walks past and takes note of them as he heads for the forest and I didn't feel it did justice to the many established characters (instead of blank faces) who died. :c

I'd feel that way too though, in a daze and not looking left or right at his companions. And at that point, he was the one who's life was in most jeopardy, because he was the one facing Voldemort, not anybody else. So their current situations weren't as important as what he was going through then. Quite understandable.

I'll probably pop in for a little while to nerdgasm if I'm not already preoccupied with bawling my poor eyes out. I'm going to see the midnight release with my mom, & hopefully a friend from school that graduated last Friday. We all went for part 1 together, & we wanted to see part 2 together too.

Plus, it's been tradition that my mom & I go see the movies together at midnight (or you know, around midnight since the showings usually fill up & they add more) at the same movie theater that's across the street from my high school. I'm not breaking tradition now. <3

The trailer was so intense, and I was so tensed up for it, & my eyes were watering. I've never cried at (or in for that matter) a movie before, & I think Harry Potter might ruin that for me. (Better Harry Potter than something else though. & I saw Marley & Me, and that was pretty emotional for me, but I didn't cry.)

That's true, and I guess it makes sense since nearly the whole series is just from Harry's point of view but the movies aren't as restricted by POV the way the books are. So hopefully we get more than just a glimpse as he walks by. :(

Yeah, the movies haven't been that well in that department, but they've been improving slowly, and I've seen quite the difference in DH 1.

DH is being a better adaptation since it was split into two, instead of trying to cram everything into just one movie. :D And since that's kind of a heart-breaking moment (good for eliciting emotion in the viewers), I'm hoping they'll get more than just a pan and "oh, they're dead." @@; There's already a dramatic part with Tonks and Lupin reaching for each other in the trailer so... :>

Is anyone else re-reading the books or re-watching the movies in anticipation of the next movie? I just started a part-time temporary job the other day doing data entry for a section of the company my dad works at and since it's pretty menial labour, I've been listening to the Harry Potter books while I work. I just finished up book 3 today and I'm loading book 4 onto my phone right now. ♥

Also, the Pottermore announcement is at 7AM EST tomorrow, I think. :>

The encyclopedia sounds very exciting to me. Of course, it was known to be an encyclopedia, but we just didn't know what the name would be. :) Clever Jo.

I've a pretty good memory of Book 7. In fact, I re-read it after Part 1 came out last year. When I saw that movie, I kept thinking, "Oh my god I forgot so much!!". Personal embarrassment, so yeah.
