No, the filmmakers chose to spend the time they had on the wrong things. And didn't take a page from LOTR's book and film more movie than you needed for a theatrical cut to make extended cuts available on home video, which is a shame.

Disagree!

I hope it's true. Marianelli is great but he's no John Powell.

The films made several mistakes and omissions. For instance, the omission of the revelation that Voldemort tried to kill Harry owing to the prophecy, the omission of much of Tom Riddle's backstory... the omissions and mistakes that would have made the films make more sense are numerous and all glaringly obvious from OotP onwards.

Which is telling, because for a long time when the show was riveting, the sense of impending climatic fireworks of biblical proportions was brilliant. It's as if we took a detour into soap land instead.

Exactly. The thing about Williams is that when he sketches, everything is already so complete, that it's basically just a copyist job of putting the music on bigger paper. There's no real "orchestration" that needs to be done. Conrad Pope has said something to this effect.

That's why superheroes wear Spandex!

I dont get it?

Surely some gigantic environmental catastrophe has to be on the cards, like the Doom of Valyria or the Hammer of the Waters? I say there'll be new Hammers of the Waters to split Westeros in two, separating the North at the Neck and shattering the Dornish peninsula. "And thus Ireland was born!"

The cake is a lie.

Me too. And it slowly, but surely built a realistic relationship between Harry and Dumbledore. A relationship that actually meant something.

Can we talk about the missed opportunity to go into Voldy's backstory with more Pensieve travels as per the book in Half-Blood Prince? In those chapters in the book we learn of the Horcrux Ring and Voldy's heritage. Instead in the film so much time is devoted to fluff like the Burrow being set on fire and pointless chases.

Wow gkgyver's Indominus Wrecks pun came true!

She's never gonna reach Westeros, is she?

So does everyone here, really. That said - it is odd that this is the only entry in the series that hasn't yet leaked.

There you go:

What did you do? Little boy. Show us, show us on the doll where Incanus touched you!

VT are numbers? V is Roman five, while Tango is military T, so since it takes 2 to tango.... That means Panasonic.

No yet, but I'm definitely buying the BD release!

I love that cover, it's a beautiful photograph

Hal Leonard has published "Rounds for Solo Guitar" as part of the John Williams Signature Editions. http://www.halleonard.com/product/viewproduct.do?itemid=145520&lid=0&keywords=John%20williams&subsiteid=1&

Too much thought required.

It's definitely a decent popcorn flick.

OK, finally saw the Ant-Man trailer. Looks... interesting. I guess it looks like it will be a lot of fun. Seems hard to take serious. Using epic choir in the trailer wasn't a good idea

LOL. Yea, that's definitely Pixar's reason for not having a trailer out yet.

This is not new, but it's a fun tidbit regardless: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/star-wars/11532663/Star-Wars-digital-Release-was-it-worth-60.html

I might watch that this weekend

They will be...

Yes. Judge it by the name of the composer on its cover!

Personally, I think Umbridge could have been nastier. Staunton was an ideal casting choice, but in terms of the writing, I missed that twisted feeling I had in the book whenever she would show up unannounced to deliver some unwarranted punishment or simply belittle others. She was a creep, a true villain and they took a lot of the edge off her by condensing all that material into comedic, even slapstick-y montages....it's odd, people complain about David Yates not being light enough but OOTP's kinda bouncy and casual despite the doom and gloom of the story. The Ministry restrictions are basically a goof and Dumbledore's Army is like a fun adventure. I may be in the minority here, but Harry's Caps Lock rants aside, I liked the general feeling of outrage Rowling displayed in that book, long and messy though it is, and the film doesn't have much bite. Actually, it makes Hogwarts feel warmer and safer than in HBP, which doesn't make a lot of sense.

I don't think they really had to go into the Marauders story, but yeah, they could have made it a little more clear that they wrote the map with even just an extra line or two. Most of my problems with the films as adaptations are in the Deathly Hallows movies, actually. The other films would typically set up an idea or subplot and then leave you hanging, but the last films did the opposite, shoving in all these things from the book without even setting them up, and that was even worse to me. That mirror shard was really lazily handled, I know they didn't introduce it in Order of the Phoenix, but Harry could have easily found it when he went back to Sirius's house instead of having it right at the beginning of the film where it makes no sense. The Lupin thing, there's actually a scene in the screenplay where Lupin announces Tonks' pregnancy and names Harry godfather so I don't understand why they cut that but then still talked about the kid in the Resurrection Stone scene where it comes out of nowhere. I also think it was pretty silly of them to leave in the scene with Dumbledore's brother if they weren't going to go into the backstory...that whole scene was awkward to me, like 5 minutes of talking about and hinting at things that have never been brought up before and will never be brought up again. They should have just dropped it altogether. I don't miss a lot of that other stuff, though. The story about Neville's parents is condensed just fine in the film, for example. Also the aftermath in Order of the Phoenix with Harry ranting against Dumbledore might have been a great scene but I don't think Daniel Radcliffe was up to that...
