Yep ... I am.

As far as the books go PoA was easily my favourite so I am rather keen to see the movie.

I can't wait for it, but I'm dissapointed that alot has been cut out.

They don't have as much Quidditch thats in the book, and they have cut Oliver Wood out of it.

But I guess that has to happen with a book made into a movie and all.

I can't wait. I agree that PoA is probably the best book. Just hope that this one isn't as "kiddish" as the first two.

Voldermort annoyed me in the first movie though, because when he was on the back of Professor Quirrel's head, his didn't look as he is described in the books. He is supposed to have a flat nose, like a snake.

Yes he was!!!! And he's the comic relief of the book - his total obsession with winning the Quidditch Cup...

I'm not sure if I want to see the movie though - I love this book and I know that so much is cut out of it, I'm worried about justice being done - that said I'll be there with bells on.

Did anyone see that JK Rowling said the director has added some scenes etc that hint about what happens in the last 2 books?

Hey just letting you guys know Harry Potter opened up in Tassie toady (Thursday 3rd). It has to be said, it's by far the best Harry Potter so far!!!!!!! I won't indulge in the movie much, but this movie is just incredible. I loved the first two. But this one craps over them. It's more appealing to adults this time around but kids will still love it. Just make it a bit easier for the parents that have to go watch it. Lupin, Black and the Demontors are just how you imagine them. But the negitive I can point out is the very end. Hope you guys will enjoy it, because I thourghly did!!!!!

I so can't wait for the movie! lol I'm obsessed with harry potter and draco malfoy

(btw, this is choc a holic's friend! lol)
I've heard heaps of negative and postitive comments about it.. it sounds so good. ANd I reckon it won't be as kiddish as the other two movies. After all, they have a new director.

Prisoner of Azkaban was by far my favourite book. I liked it coz it had the marauder's map, and I liked reading about Harry and his patronus. Plus, there isn't any Voldemort.

Anyway, all I have to do is wait until next week... Lucky Tassy people! ;)

I've liked all the books, but as of yet, none of the movies have really done it for me. Chamber of Secrets was acceptable but still, it didn't do the book justice.

I'm glad it's been put up to M because that means they haven't underplayed the darkness of most of the plot....although the way I interpret the books, any movie adaption would be MA.

I just got home from seeing a preview...

LOVED IT!

I won't say too much, but I'm still giggling from the scene with Aunt Marge!
Padfoot, Moony and Wormtail, don't look as I imagined them, but they actors do them justice :)

Choc,

I've just come back from seeing it.

Its darker than the other two films but just as effective.

david trewlis (lupin) Gary oldman (sirius black) Emma thompson well all amazing as was the continued imporvement of Daniel, Rupert and Emma a s Harry, Ron and Hermione, even Draco malfoy is getting older.

You should all go see it,

Paul
