    The whole family is itchin' to see the new film!

    1) No more Richard Harris. That will bug me a lot, as I will struggle to accept the new Dumbledore.

    Though Richard Harris was a fine actor, I won't miss his interpretation of Dumbeldore much. He sucked the levity out of him, in my opinion. I am excited to see a truer representation by the new actor.

    POA is my favorite of the novels, and it'll be interesting to see how it translates to film. I am of the firm belief that films and books must be looked at separately, and nothing can compare to the 'movie' you've created in your mind after reading a great book. A movie can still be good in it's own right, though...

    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.

    Yeah that might be fun, Sirius.....I should be through my big hurdle of work by the time it comes out, and if we are not having the Santa Cruz picnic that weekend, perhaps we could still go see the movie that week. I will need to check with my bf to see what he wants to do that weekend, but as for seeing the movie we are definitely interested in that (good to plan on a non-peak time to see it tho). Another good weekend would be June 19-20.....

    Leo - Excellent! Off-peak times are fine with me, although I will likely see it on opening day to start with.
