I had no idea they were already in production. http://www.ew.com/article/2015/11/04/fantastic-beasts-american-muggle A few shots have been released, I'm trying to find them. That's big news?

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Somehow, I avoided this thread and had no idea a new Harry Potter movie was being made.

mrbellamy 6,281 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 The stuff she puts on Pottermore and Twitter is kind of annoying in that sense (mainly because the media keeps shoving it into the headlines over and over) but I think this is different since it's part of the film. I think like Stefan said, it seems logical that Americans would have a different word than Muggle. "Nomaj" seems kinda lame and cheesy, but then again, it's the 1920s when the popular slang was bee's knees and heebie jeebies. I think it'll probably fit.I just want this to be fun. Yates' Potter movies were so dire, which was partly justified for those stories but I hope this one has a lighter touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,342 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I will never ever justify Yates's style... Bring back Mike Newell or Cuaron. Talking about Pottermore, are you able to just view the extra info now or do you still have to play games and waste time in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,281 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm pretty sure it was a mutual decision. Much as I was looking forward to them, I don't think having all those flashbacks would have worked that well in a movie, in retrospect. I definitely preferred Yates to Mike Newell, anyway. GOF is entertaining for what it is but it bugs me as an adaptation of the book...the characters are all over the place, the magic OTT. If Yates sometimes didn't quite go big enough, that one is all way too much for me. By far feels the least like Rowling's writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of HBP had to be re-written to create a film that makes more dramatic sense. I swear half the book is just Pensieve flashbacks that take ages to get to the point.

Matt C 452 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Wha? The first two films are easily the most faithful adaptations!Sometimes the best film adaptations don't always stick faithfully to the books. Even though the final cut was rushed, Order of the Phoenix captured the spirit of the book, and it didn't need two movies to do it. (Would love to see that nearly 3 hour rough cut.)Deathly Hallows 1 & 2 was also very faithful to the final book, but unlike SS and COS, it didn't feel routine. The split gave the filmmakers time to tell the story properly and give the characters a proper farewell. But I hated the epilogue-- even in the book it was unnecessary.

Jay 37,352 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Yup, the epilogue was completely unnecessary in both book and film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found DH1 to be far more engaging than DH2, in fact. The latter had an awkward pacing and terrible execution of the final battle scenes. Plus there's the Jablonsky-ized Desplat score which, like the film, is also overshadowed by its immediate predecessor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpy 4,145 Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 OOTP was the biggest let-down and the first Potter film I was disappointed by. HBP was slightly better than OOTP. Deathly Hallows P1&2 I felt did a good job at capturing the books but I actually liked the camping scenes in the book whereas I know many others don't.
