I'm making this thread in preparation for going to see this in exactly 8 hours and 45 minutes. I've been waiting for the movie for months, and this thread will be rife with spoilers, so if you haven't read the books and/or seen the movies, then you might want to avoid it.

I do ask that anyone that sees it before me and replies puts things in spoilers. I've read the books, but I still don't want anything cool that might happen ruined before I get to see it. Or I will hunt you down, come to your house, and kick you in the head.

Have a nice day

I haven't read the books, but I have seen the other 2 movies. Josh loves the books and I promised him I would read them after we see the movie today.

I am looking forward to seeing it, but Josh is literally chomping at the bit!

Saw it. 12:01 showing.

It was great, but at the end it seemed kinda...unfulfilling. There was a lot of humor in this one though, it was pretty amusing in that respect. Definatly a darker one than the others, as in the books. The Dementors...sweeeet. I don't want to say much else for fear of spoilers, if nobody has read the books, so...Go see it, its worth it.

The ending in the book was like that.. was like "Damn.. Poor Harry..." Granted the line about his god father being a convicted murderer to his Uncle was classic

I saw the 12:01 showing as well. Very good movie, and it as usual followed the book really well.

I think they only thing about the movie that just got to me was the simple fact at how much older the characters looked. I mean, I know they're older and supposed to look older as time passes, but there's just such a stark difference. Between Sorcerer's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, their appearances didn't really change all that much.. but between Secrets and Azkaban, it's reallyreallyreally noticeable, in ALL of the kids.

My only disappointments was the way the Patronus was displayed and the fact that it never 'revealed' who Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs were... and I felt that was an important part of the book.

Excellllent. And Hermoine and Ron are so cute. X.x Seems like they cut some of it out, like the big black dog being an appirition of death. Allin all, it's m yleast favorite book, and it wasn't amazing, but it was pretty good. I was in a horribly loud theatre, but.. it was still good. Oh, and I had the same issue that Bajah had. They didn't talk about the group at all, and they didn't get into why Snape had such an issue with them, really.

And it was amazing how most of the audience was late teens - HP's original fans are sticking with the series, and it's great to see. And Rupert Grint is going to be a showstopper when he gets older. He's adorable.

Time and creativity issues =\

I do agree that putting little key points in like why Snape hates Potter and all that, who the Muradures were should have been placed in, but it probaly got cut out due to time...

*snickers* Would be great if they accually *did* stick those bits in the movie, and can only be seen in a director's cut.. like LoTR...

Or on the DVD, like they did with the first two. There were parts, like when Petunia is opening eggs and sees the letters coming out of them, that were in the deleted scenes.

OMG THAT FUCING ROCKED!

Now that that's out of my system...

I loved it. It was excellent. Gikk, did you ever find that choral version of the witches' chant from MacBeth that the choir performs in the movie, and that's in the trailer? I want that piece of music. Must get it.

I missed some parts, especially who the originators of the Marauder's Map were, the relationship between all of them, and the second Quidditch game, where Draco and co dress up as dementors and Harry calls up a Patronux on them, but I can understand at least why that last bit was left out. The former should have been put in, my eyes though, because it really was an important piece of information, and I'm wondering if it won't be in the deleted scenes once the DVD is out.

I have a theory, and Deth, DO NOT READ THIS as it pertains to the fifth book.

Since Harry loses Sirius in the last book I wonder if because Lupin has gotten such a raw deal, if he won't take Harry under his wing after all this is over. WHat do the rest who've read the fifth book think?

Yes. He's the only one left. And it's... logical, sortof.

And hopefully, it'll be on the DVD. And no, I didn't find the music. Does anyone know if it's on the soundtrack? (I'm going to buy the soundtrack anyway~)

Yeah I know. And I hope so, too. I mean I loved the movie. They did a fantastic job. But explaining the importance of some things, like that group, is a large element I think.

I really liked the movie. Josh was bitching because of things that were missing, so I am glad I didn't read the book first.

I had a hard time enjoying the movie going experience because of all the small children around us that kept talking during the movie, but the movie itself was really good.

When we left the theater, there was a woman around 30 or so dressed as a witch, with a tall black pointy hat and everything waiting in the line for the next show.

Oh.. the other thing that was annoying was this huge crowd of people in the theater... they would applaud at everything. Starting with the previews. Why would you applaud a preview?? Then during the film they kept applauding at things, and afterwards they applauded again.

Now, I have been to films that moved me to applause when it was over, but never during a preview!

Weirdos.

Slightly off topic but i just realized it now

the 3rd and 4th book were notacibly much more dark then the first two, and i kinda assumed that was the way the series was going, but the fifth one was a huge step backward from that

I just meant if they talked about the movie, use spoiler tags. That way nothing is ruined for anyone.

And something I just noted. Sirius didn't sign Harry's permission form, granting him permission to go to Hogsmeade. So I wonder if they'll just leave the Hogsmeade parts out next movie. Although there are a couple key ones.

There weren't that many things missing. They rearranged some things, cut out some things here and there-that I daresay may show up in the DVD as deleted scenes-but overall stuck with the spirit of the book, as they have with the other two movies. There are only a couple of things I can think of that relate to future things that I wish they would have put in, but they did a good job overall.

And Mog.... Not darker? Sirius dies! How much darker can you get?

They'll probably slip it in to the beginning of the next movie. Hogsmeade is such a huge, interesting part of the books that I doubt they'll just leave it out.

I'll probably head and see Prisoner of Azkaban later this week. Sounds like a pretty good one.

But he only sees Siruis as his head in the fire until 5, IIRC. How can he sign his permission form? Vernon's not going to do it, although Petunia might be able to be pressured into it if Dumbledore said something I suppose.

It'll probably be something like Harry being all depressed as the first Hogsmeade trip comes around, and then the permission form will show up by owl or Dumbledore will take him aside and show him the form or something.

Was so much better than the first two movies, imo. It felt and looked so much darker.

One of the things I really enjoyed was the little details. All the sets seem painstakingly created, and it really shows. Another thing was the music... John Williams can do no wrong.
