JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 According to an article in Leaky Cauldron.It seems our fears will not be realized. The rainstorm Quidditch match should be the most exciting Quidditch yet.While the tapestry of the story is ripe for John's music, my only problem with POA is its lack of a real central villian in the film. Its sad that the summer film I am looking forward too the most, doesn't come out until next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,249 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Quidditch=good. Just a shame they can't make the movies twice as long. The movie Quidditch will never be as exciting as in the books, simply because they don't have the time to focus more on Harry's school work, where most of the tension comes from.Marian - waiting.

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Great! I was going to be really disappointed if it was excluded. I hope they do justice to the Grim sighting and Dementors during the matches.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB wanted to release Matrix Revolution this Christmas and didn't want to compete against itself, so the thinking was to move HP to the summer, where the potential for big boxoffice is greater.

Heir_of_Slytherin 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 The score sounds awesome, a little dramatic for Quidditch, though. Can't wait to hear POA, especially the Quidditch scene.

Heir_of_Slytherin 0 Posted May 18, 2003 Share Posted May 18, 2003 I don't see anything wrong with them having different countries; obviously, if you've read the book, you'll catch on that there are many schools of Wizardry and Witchcraft around the world. I was particularly excited of the Japan footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited with COS and it was agonizing, and maybe not worth it. you don't like the Chamber of Secrets Ray?No no no, I didn't mean that at all. I love the score. I meant that hearing the score for the first time when I saw the film wasn't worth the 'pain' of having to wait so long. It was something I wanted to try, hearing it in the film first, but for PoA I will definitely listen to the score at the earliest possible time.Ray Barnsbury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCFKevin 0 Posted May 19, 2003 Share Posted May 19, 2003 Oh. Another quidditch match. GoodI was just beginning to think, "You know, the second film had basically the same exact scene as the first one, so it would make it all the better to have the same scene in the third!"

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted May 19, 2003 Author Share Posted May 19, 2003 sarcasm doesn't become you Kevin, besides, there are 2 quidditch matches of note in POA. One where something bad happens to Harry, the other something good happens, neither are like the first two.Besides the 2nd match was nothing like the first.

I agree the second quidditch was nothing like the first, it was more fluid realistic and sweeping. The special effects were much better the teams looked like they were actually their this time instead of infront a blue screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first was very exciting and while not perfect production wise was a wonderful experience because of Daniel's performance, the action, and John's music. The second one set up the plot point of the danger Harry was in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
