Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

Postby tcco94 » Tue Jul 19, 2011 2:37 am

Wow..i'm surprised no one has posted anything about this movie. I don't know if there are any fans in here for the series but I saw this movie at the midnight premiere..in 3D. Pretty awesome, handsdown one of the best movies i've ever seen. The 3D glasses were pretty cool they were harry potter's glasses although i've heard that was just for the midnight premiere.

Any other thoughts for anyones that's seen it?  ;)

In just 3 days it SMASHED the box office making $169,189,427 domestically and $312,300,000 overseas...totaling out to $481,489,427 in 3 days.  :D :D :D

How old are people who watch this?

I've never seen a single one of them - even on free TV.

Aren't they based on kids/adolescents books?

I am 43 and have read and enjoyed every one of the books. Give them a go you may be very surprised  :)

It's not a kids movie.

But the books are absolutely great.

Harry Potter fandom

Studies on the fandom have shown that both children and adults are fans, despite Rowling's original marketing of the books towards children aged nine to twelve.

Sounds like she underestimated the maturity of her audience.

I'll look for the first one on TV.

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Haven't watched the last 3. on the last one I Went to the cinemas fell asleep during the first 6 minutes.

Sounds like you sure did give that movie a chance.

:o jezz! , they kill everyone,its a massacre ! ,at one point I thought that also the camera will turn and some one will also shoot the director, camera man,sound recorder and me in the theater  :o

Great movies all ,but I'm kind of sad for the end of them.. :'(

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You knew there would be alot of deaths when the poster board says.."It all ends"...but the battles were great I thought, especially the ending one. Alot of twists in the end if you didn't read the books.

But i'm sad to see them go too.  :(

But...J.K. Rowling isn't done yet...

I've seen all the movies, and the last one definitely takes the cake! I enjoyed it all the way through. The battle at Hogwarts was epic! I loved how the truth unfolded in regards to Snape.

Yeah the story of Snape was defiantly a twist I didn't see coming..

Im 54, male, and my wife & I took our 2 kids (now 22 & 18) to the new Potter flik. It was AWESOME. We've all read the books, and seen all the movies. We saw this one in 3D, and it wasn't a film, but a digital video presentation. No reel change splices, no scratches or dirt, and awesome surround sound as well as incredible digital effects. Highly recommended. :D
