Ahhh… I heartily await the moment Neville rescues everyone from Malfoy Manor, gets killed by Bellatrix, and Hermione is the one to cut off Nagini’s head. Cheers. _‘

Kloves? dang, get ready for a HELL of a lot of hermione! i really hope he does justice to ron and the horcrux, it was my favorite part of the book.

I was hoping for Michael Goldenberg again. Even though a lot of stuff had to be cut in OotP, I feel that he convincingly worked in important plot elements even if the real scenes didn’t make the cut. (like Neville explaining his parents plight). I also thought that it was nice to see that Rupert was able to actually deliver Ron’s lines from the book rather than Emma or someone else.

But, I’ll watch and buy no matter who ends up writing and directing…

I think that Newell brought out the best in the actors. GBF is definitely the right feel for DH. I therefore think that Spielberg would NOT be a good choice for Director. Another great director might be Robert Zemeckis ( Forest Gump). He has been very successful with this type of movie. He can handle any writer.

Ugh! Kloves?! I guess we can assume Ron will be wimpering and cowering in the corner for the duration of DH, while Hermione intervenes in the final showdown between Harry and Voldemort to save Harry and defeat Voldemort.

Or…even worse…Ron will be written out after he leaves Harry and Hermione with the locket.

OotP was the first movie that I walked away from really liking Ron. I love Ron in the books, but I’m always upset with his portrayal in the movies. I really liked him in the OotP movie because his lines were SO MUCH better and in character for once. Why does WB still think Kloves should be writing these movies after they’ve seen how much better Goldenberg can do?

I didn’t like Goldenberg. The dialogue was gone for most characters, he ruined the ending of the movie. Everyone knows the Prophecy now. There will be no surprise as to where the three characters are going. How will they figure it out for DH? Also, the part in the book with Sir Nicolas and Harry regarding Sirius coming back would have been a heart wrencher. Instead, they all say their usual good-byes and go home.

Not Kloves again, he’s not a good writer for the HP series, he cut a lot of important characters/scenes, I liked Goldenberg’s work he make a very good, darker, emotionally story in OOTP. Steven Spielberg is a good director, I really like all of his work (War of the Worlds!!!). The person who directed & wrote LOTR and King Kong could be a good director & writer for DH because they put everything to the movies including the smallest detail. Well aquí les dejé lo que píenso ; )

1. Get a writer that isn’t part of any union. 2. Sweet talk Columbus into finishing what he originally started as director. He stayed the most faithful to the books and as a result did the best job.

I’m not too fond of Kloves. I liked what Goldenberg did with OOTP, regardless of the things that were cut. He made a emotional, moving, grown up film. I especially liked the way he made Ron more compassionate and not just the snarky sidekick. Kloves writes childish scripts and DH needs to be a grown up film.

Over Christmas break, I started reading the series again and you guys are so right book Ron is soooooo much better than movie Ron. Some of his sarcastic remarks are hilarious and it’s a shame they don’t make it into the movies.

LOL TAD. I hope that doesn’t happen. I am praying that Dobby and Kreacher are in HBP. Harry can just be all “Dobby you work here now, both of you follow Draco everywhere he goes….” so that where he comes back for DH the HP movie fans will know who he is.

I like Kloves fine, but I really enjoyed Goldenberg’s interpretation of the story and characters… OOTP caught the mood of the books better than any of the others I think.

As far as the Writer’s Strike goes, I bet that Kloves has started writing the script, but is not showing it to them, nor is he saying he has it begun. It is hard for a writer to NOT write. It’s in their blood. I know plenty of writers and screenwriters, and it doesn’t matter that there’s a strike… they’re still writing… their just not turning it in and getting paid for it.

Boricua- Peter Jackson actually cut a whole lot out of the Lord of the Rings… he even rearranged it a bit. It doesn’t matter who the director is, with books as big as these, things have to be cut in order to even make the film.

Well I haven’t seen HBP yet.Maybe Kloves will redeem himself,since he left to write a script for some other film ,which was why he didn’t write one for OOTP.Maybe having been away from HP for a while he will give a better script.Just hope he gets the right words in the right characters mouths.

i hope they split it into 2 parts…thatd be cool…specially b/c of all the stuff they have to fit into it…as for the screenwriter idk wat they should do….he did cut some big stuff b4….maybe they should get someone new that will keep everything really important. particularly the battle of hogwarts and the hocruxes….

I think they should have Goldenberg back as well. He did a good job with incorporating things directly from the book.
