I can' t wait! only a few more days!! I've read all the books published so far and IMO Prisoner of Az is a better story than Chamber of Secrets.
No more Richard Harris. That will bug me a lot, as I will struggle to accept the new Dumbledore.
yeah, however from the little i have seen the new actor has done a great job and will easily slide into the role
No more Chris Columbus. I liked the style a lot in the past movies. Will it still feel like a Harry Potter movie with the new director?
the world and style is already established, i think they would have to try intentionaly to mess it up. the first two movies where almost exactly the stories in the book, word for word. very little is left out changed or edited. I don't see how they would change this formula until book 4 which will have to trimmed simply because of the amount of content.
3) The kids have grown up more. Now they're teenagers. Of course, this has to happen and it's part of the developing narrative arc, but still I will miss their youth. 4) Will the story suck? Yeah, I haven't read the book, this is funny because I love the movies so much I don't want to spoil myself, like reading the script before seeing the film. I do read the books after seeing the movie and marvel at how closely the movie follows the book (well, we know why...)
no worries. it only gets better from here, although book 5 kinda pissed me off.
leo - so should we get a ex-jw group to go see prisoner of az. i will see it in the theaters at least twice.
