I havent actually seen this movie yet, gotta borrow my little bro's dvd and watch it.
Have they started filming on the next one yet? do they have any sort of release schedule for these. I mean, ideally they would all be made 1 year apart so the ageing of the actors is believable. but it seems that 2 are, then they have a 2 year gap for the next one looking at imdb. Do they film 1 film at a time, or do they do a LOTR or Pirates of the Caribean 2 & 3 and film multiple films at the same time?

I think they film them as closely together as possible but not as closely as the Lord of the Ring movies. I know they've cast Luna Lovegood, an Irish gal named Evanna Lynch. You can see her here -
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.
They're releasing them every 1.5 years. It's just easier for them schedule-wise since kids under 18 have very strict filming schedules due to labor laws in Britain. As of now, Daniel Radcliffe is only about a year older than his character so at the rate they're going, he won't be more than two years older by the time they complete the series. That's certainly acceptable.
They are indeed already filming movie five with an intended release in June '07. HBP will be Thanksgiving '08 and the final one will likely be Summer '10. It would be great if they could eek it out by Thanksgiving '09 since they'll all be over 18 by then and can work adult hours. Just 'cause I like HP movies over winter holidays vs in the massive push of summer blockbusters.
Oldman has FINALLY been locked into returning for OOTP after threatening to walk for lack of a contract. That's good news. I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.
Yep, he bites it in this one. Recasting at this point would have been a huge mistake. Personally I always wanted to see Jason Carter in the role, but Oldman has done great so far, as if he could do anything other. I am fluent in over six million forms of procrastination.
Yeah, I must say I never really liked that either. I don't think it ever fully explained the reason for it being there in the first place. It just seemed so random. "Let's have a curtain between life and death here for no apparent reason."

Originally posted by: ADigitalMan Not completely. Kloves wrote to a mandated length. The original plan for Goblet was to make two 2-hour movies out of it. Alfonso convinced Newell to trim the book down to a 2.5 hour movie. Kloves wrote to that length.
Azkaban could have stood about five more minutes to tie up some loose ends.
Goblet of Fire could have stood about ten more minutes (past the length of the extended edition) to give it a bit of breathing space and to tie up some more loose ends. The Rita Skeeter subplot really needed to be completed.
Wait. There's an extended edition?
And, yes, I agree that Azkaban could have been helped by some fleshing out, especially in regards to the origins of a certain map.

Don't worry about tieing up the loose ends cuz once all the movies are done they gonna release extended version with even more deleted scenes then what were on the DVD's. Each movie is actualy 3.5-4 hours. Liek in Goblet, Voldemorts scene was 20 minutes long they jsut cut it to like 8 minutes.
I'm basically happy with the way the movies are now with only a few exceptions. I really don't think they need extended versions. The Voldemort scene was fine the way it was. The lengthy exposition that Voldemort rattled off in the book about his history for the past 13 years was very interesting but would have gotten old fast as movie dialogue. Anyway, the only glaring continuity errors that really bother me are when Uncle Vernon in Azkaban suddenly knows that Harry's not allowed to do magic in school despite him never finding out and previously thinking that Harry could bewitch him at any minute. Another is the removal of Azkaban's backstory about the animagi and the origin of the Marauder's Map, Whomping Willow, etc. And I know I just complained about exposition, but this was really important and leads into my final complaint: Peter Pettigrew being referred to by Harry solely as Wormtail in Goblet of Fire, despite the fact that the previous movie had not at all attributed that name to him. The rest, like changing schoo geography, different actors, and other minor problems and omissions really don't bother me at all. I have a friend whose enjoyment of Chamber of Secrets is diminished because the Deathday Party was ommitted, and that was Moaning Myrtle's original entrance into the story. The lack of that never bothered me at all, and her introduction in her bathroom is quite perfect for the sake of condensing things. Yet she insists that it completely ruins the character. I guess it's an individual thing.

Could always be wishful thinking on his part, always a possibility. So that I don't go off topic, I am pretty happy with the movies. I thought that Goblet Of Fire was the best out of them all so far. Of course the problem with me is that when I watch a movie based off of a book or a comic or something, I always tend to compare it exactly to the book. Thinking about it, I say that I need to, and some of you may disagree, realize that a movie cannot follow the book exactly and has to change things to keep the movie from dragging on forever. Saying that, I do think that they should try and keep in important stuff, such as what Gaffer said about the Azkaban background and the animagi and the origin of the maurader's map.
Just my 1 cent, hey I'm a college student , on the subject.
I like not having read the books because I really do like the movies. I wasn't a Harry Potter fan until about October of last year because I saw the first movie on TV. My aunt has read the books but I know that as soon as I read them I'll compare them to the movies and I don't want to do that. I want to enjoy the movies for what they are, and then go and read the books. It's much better that way. "I am altering the movies. Pray I don't alter them any further." -Darth Lucas
Originally posted by: GundarkHunter Best omission in Goblet of Fire: the house elf subplot. Think about it and ask yourself: does it really advance the story in any way?
Yeah, that one was easily able to be removed. I mean, it's a nice little sideplot, but I think the coolest thing about it was how it almost seemed like the book had built in a simple answer for cutting it out, since Neville was supposed to be the one that pointed Harry to the gillyweed in the book in the first place.

I heard that there was a lot more filmed for the first one, in addition to the hidden easter egg deleted scenes on disc 2. Someone was supposedly even cast as Peeves (some name like Rick Maikal?) Chamber of Secrets has the most deleted scenes available of the 4 and I heard there was a lot more filmed with that too. One of the actor interview features has a behind the scenes shot of Harry saying "and the crowing of the Rooster can kill it." This is not in a deleted scene and was cut from when Harry and Ron realize from the page in Hermione's hand just what lies in the chamber. Azkeban I don't think had a lot of extra material but I still think the movie moved way too fast at the end. Why weren't the great quotes from Sirius "Harry you are truely your father's son" and Dumbledore to Harry "I believe you did see your father last night. You discovered him inside yourself. Prongs rode again" in the movie. And where the hell was the menu for the deleted scenes in Goblet, it just played them all in sequence? I did hear the graveyard scene was cut from 20 minutes.
I still say I'm glad the graveyard scene was cut, if it indeed was. The way it is now is perfect with all the necessary information, and I never felt for a second that it was lacking in anything (except for Bertha Jorkins's ghost, but, heh, I knew she wouldn't be there from the outset).
