***SPOILER-WARNING***
TURN BACK IF YOU HAVE NOT READ AND WATCHED HARRY POTTER!
Hi guys, this is DotV here. I’m doing a collaborative post where all three staff members are writing one post about the new Harry Potter movie and book and what we thought about them. I will start.

I thought the movie was good. Mr. Yates did a good job of compressing eight hundred seventy pages into less than two hours.I mistook the soundtrack for Mr. John Willams’s work. However, sadly, he has not returned. I have to believe that Mr. Radcliff, Mr. Grint, and Ms. Watson have outdone themselves. I believe that the choice of actor for Bella LeStrange was a good choice, too. They CGing on the Thestrals, the Prophesies, and the Veil scene was excellent. The choice of Luna Lovegood’s character was pretty acurate, too. However, this movie left out a lot of things. I can’t help but say that I was disappointed by the Department of Mysteries and that they left out the Hospital scene. I was really hoping to see Lockhart again!
It was good movie, but I still missed some of the scenes.
AWESOME BOOK! ONE OF THE BEST EVER! I was really sad when Hedwig and Fred died. Oh, yeah, and the Lupins. I was surprised that Harry was actually a Horcrux! Really! Oh, and thought all the signatures and what not on the sign in front of Harry’s old house was cute. My favorite chapter was the Prince’s Tale. I always knew you loved Lily, Sev! And I somehow guessed that the doe Patronus was Sevvy’s, too. I loved the ending. Harry named his son after Dumbledore and Sev! And Neville was pretty cool, too. Yeah, better than in OotP. I was like, “YOU GO, NEVILLE!” And the major conflict between Harry and Draco was let go. I thought that was cute. Overall, an awesome book!
Hi, guys. ZantynthLD here. I’ve got absolutely nothing to say. Because a I am a worthless idiot and has a charming dislike of cats.

I really thought it was a good book. My opinion that it is best book ever after The Lorax by famous author, Dr. Seuss. That book made an impression of who I am. Anyways, before I get too off topic, I thought that the dragon scene was really nice. I made a name for that dragon. Its name is Adelaide. I just assumed it was a girl dragon… Yeah, moving on. I was really upset when Dobby died. He died a heroic death. So sad. I was most sad that Fred died and Malfoy lived! How is that equivalent exchange! Too much Fullmetal Alchemist; I’m sorry. ^^;
It was an okay movie. I didn’t like the Department of Mysteries. But the thestrals were awesome. Oh, I would died to ride one of those! I wonder how much Hooper had to pay for the rights for using the Harry Potter theme for the soundtrack? Not astronomical, I suppose. I thought the scene that was before Dumbledore’s almost arrest was pretty cool. That departure was, “Woah, Dumbledore, don’t be cool; be hot!” That was amazing. I laughed. Especially to the way the crowd reacted to Fudge saying, “He’s back!”
No, really?

Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix
Well personally I felt like this movie was too rushed and that for the people that haven’t read the books it was very confusing. It was well done for how long the book was and the time that they had to do it, but I still felt like it was missing a lot. I felt like many of the new characters were very well cast. Luna Lovegood and Umbridge were amazing! It was good, but it definitely was not my favorite Harry Potter movie overall.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Book Seven
Well what can I say… I enjoyed this book, but it wasn’t my very favorite Harry Potter. I was quite upset that J.K. Rowling decided to go on a killing spree and killed all of our favorite characters. That was just mean. I liked the whole Harry and Voldemort thing at the end. But at the same time it seemed a little predictable. I didn’t really like the epilogue either. It just seemed like it could have been a much better ending than that… I don’t know, maybe that’s just me… But overall, it was a good book that I would recommend to anyone.
All, I must wrap this up. Thank you, ZantynthLD (Administrator) and Relm (Editor) for your reviews. I have highest hopes that Scorchmaster will decide to contribute to these things and that I’ll boot you up, SM.
