Scenes

[kumainpink]

And Cho's treatment in OotP.

It was extremely unfair and poorly done in my opinion.

[Silvertongue]

Cho's treatment? I haven't actually sat down and watched the films in a while.

[kumainpink]

Well, in the books, it was her friend that betrayed the group. In the movie, they got rid of her friend and replaced it with Cho being forced to drink Vertiaserum and she was made to look bad. Never mind that she had no choice!

[Silvertongue]

Ohhhh. See I don't even remember that in the film. But yes that was unfair but I can understand why they'd do it. Too many characters to follow and all that. Not that mnay people like her anyway.

[kumainpink]

Yeah. It just kinda sucked, that's all. I'm not too fond of Cho-bashing, even if I don't like her character.

[Silvertongue]

Neither am I, which is why I don't really like in RtBs where she keeps glaring at Ginny and they have battles like "who can gigle loudest at something Harry said?".

[kumainpink]

*rolls eyes* I dislike that, too! It makes Twilight fangirls look relatively sane...

[Silvertongue]

XD Indeed *feels ashamed because she was the first Twilight fangirl in her school and encouraged EVERYONE to read it*

[kumainpink]

Not that all Twilighters are bad or anything! I'm talking about the really far-out ones... I know such fangirls and they're kinda creepy.

[Silvertongue]

I was one of those creepy ones though... Me and my friends said we would travel to forks and we did searches of all the Edward cullens in the world. I seriously shudder to think of how I acted over that series.

[kumainpink]

Hahaha! Don't feel bad! Twilight made a lot of girls act dumb...

[Silvertongue]

Including you?

[kumainpink]

Yes lol. I was never a creepy fan, but I did drool over Edward and Jacob a lot... *sobs at the thought of wasted youth*

[Silvertongue]

hahaha! I have a Jacob blanket still but only because my Nan bought it in America and it's really warm (which is quite fitting, don't you think?)

[kumainpink]

Almost too fitting, if you ask me...

But back on the subject of scenes... I really wanted to see Harry rage at Dumbledore. The fact they left out annoyed me a lot.

[Silvertongue]

They left it out? I really need to watch those films again but I saw a bit of PoA the other day and cringed at the acting and script. Not sure I could sit through them all now.

[kumainpink]

Yep, they didn't include it. The problem is that the books are far too detailed. It's impossible to fit the entire book in to the movies, so a lot of the good stuff gets taken out at times.

[Silvertongue]

Yeah but Harry's rage seems important to me.

[kumainpink]

Me too! It was what stopped me from hating OotP entirely. I liked seeing Harry snap, because it showed how that year's events wore him down. Especially Sirius' death.

[Silvertongue]

Yeah and it made him easier to connect with too. He always seem quite controlled in his emotions for a child/teenager and this was the first time you really see him lash out.

[kumainpink]

Sadly, he was just forced to grow up too soon. I'm positive the control has to do with his years as the Dursleys' servant/punching bag; the more he cried and showed his feelings, the worse things must have gotten.

What annoys me is when people talk about how bratty his outrage comes off as. And how his outbursts were treated with little-to-no concern in cannon.

[Silvertongue]

I don't like people telling him off for it either. Everyone has to let it out sometimes and he'd just lost the closest thing he'd ever had to a parent and someone he viewed as a way out of his mess of a childhood. It's naturally to lash out when you're grieving.

[kumainpink]

And it isn't like he lashed out at someone blameless! If ANYONE has the right to rage at Fuckledore, it's Harry!

[Silvertongue]

Hehe... Fuckledore. Yeah, Harry has the most right to do that, then Snape I think. It's not like he's going up to Cho and randomly shouting all of her faults at her or something.

[kumainpink]

And speaking of Snape...I do wish they'd have done a little better with his childhood story in DH. It just felt a little forced, if you ask me.

- Ron and his dress robes in GoF
- Ron's expressions in all the movies
- the "Ferret" scene
- Neville in DA2... "You and what army?"
- the Chamber of Secrets fight scene
- the Possession in OotP

and many many more

I forgot about Neville and "You and what Army?" scene. I love that scene, I about died laughing when I first saw it.

I also like the "We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose."

There are some scenes that they put in that aren't in the books, but totally should be.

[Miss Wings]

like that Nevile and what Army bit myself

[eskimoRock]

I loved the scenes in the Department of Mysteries, and basically the entire Deathly Hallows. Especially the last scenes of the last film. The courtyard speech scene just blew my mind.

[Miss Wings]

oh yeah I also like Molly's words. "Not my Daughter, you Bitch!" and McG's scene's at the end with Snape and the statues coming down from the wall.. and the bit where Harry and the OOTP step out

[Serena R. Snape]

I forgot about the "We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose." I really liked that scene too. XD

And Lily's eyes. Couldn't they do CG to make them green or even blue like Dan's instead of letting them stay brown? That kind of killed the "You have your mother's eyes," as Snape's last words. I cried at that scene by the way.

And I was also one of the Twilight fangirls. Not a creepy one, because I don't live in America, or even somewhere where I could buy a lot of Twilight paraphenalia. All I have of Twilight are the books and three posters, a music sheet book and two movie companion books. I quite dislike the movies (they seem to be mostly fan service and have little or nothing to do with the actual plot...). The only movie I liked was New Moon - and even that one was mostly because Alexandre Desplat made the music...

I like the books, even though they're very far out-there, if you get my meaning. But I was, am, and always will be a Harry Potter fangirl. Twilight was just a phase of mine for a while. I can re-read the books every now and then, but that's nothing to how many times I can re-read the Harry Potter ones. XD

I also really loved the "Not my daughter, you bitch!" to get back to the topic on hand. And the statues music is epic! I love Alexandre Desplat's music. I heard that John Williams wanted to compose the music for the last movie but Alexandre Desplat was so good that he got to compose it. Way to go, Desplat!

I just remembered another scene I loved... well, it's more like a quote, but I loved it anyway. It's the "Why do they have to travel in packs" from GoF. XD
