Wow, that is a great poster.

Looks like they are going to beat the crap out of that castle.

Shows how far the books went. They began with a light fantasy story about a magical boy and really got quite dark and deep for a young adult book series.

Really cool.

Personally I think the “camping” sequence is one of the best parts of the book. Nothing is happening, except the tension is building, and building… and these three friends start squabbling amongst themselves from the tension… and nothing is happening, except they can’t ever relax because they know that _something IS_ happening, somewhere… and their friends and loved ones are in danger… and Ron – Ron of all people! – Harry’s best buddy! Who would give you the (hand-me-down) shirt off his back! RON is the weakest link!

Wow.

And They Had Better allow Molly her moment because you know and I know that Every Single Person in the theatre is going to be anticipating that line, and that when the moment comes, Every Single Person is going to shout it out!

> Yep - and it would be the kind of swearing that’s appropriate to show to any kid that’s old enough to see someone killed on-screen. If any film board says that _saying_ the word bitch merits a higher rating than \*killing \*said bitch, then that is one fucked-up film board. But it has happened before!

I’m sure _Deathly Hallows_ is PG-13. You can officially say “fuck” in a PG-13 movie once, so why would they balk at “bitch”?

Unless, of course, Sigourney Weaver sues for plagiarism. 😃

Well, there is what the rating will allow and what Warner Bros. wants. For many, Potter is still a family movie series, though anyone familiar with the movies or books should know better than to take little kids(sensitive ones, anyway).
