Next round:
1. I wouldn't necessarily define Black as good; against Voldemort, yes, but no saint.
2. If you've read the books, you'd realise that Hagrid is a bigger soak than Dumbledore.
3. Follows the pattern of the other films; 1 match per film.

Any questions?

Spoiler warning for fifth book. Sirius is one of my favorite characters. He is basically the closest thing Harry has to a father. Which is why his death in the fifth book is so tragic. And yes the dementors were never after Harry. At least not in the third book.

More news on the HD-DVD front is the DVD forum has approved HD-DVD spec 1.0. Priviously HD-DVD 0.9 was just the disc specs. Then they approved the MPEG-4, VC-9 codec as provisional. With this new approval they have been combined and now HD-DVD players will have to mandatory include MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and VC-9 in all HD-DVD players. What does this mean? It means that HD-DVD is now a finalized video standard and we will now start the race to get HD-DVD out on the market. They should be availble in America in late 2005.

Luke I can't stand insulting you since you took the name of one of my favorite movie characters but I am just saying the truth. If Lucas decides to release the originals it will be on his own terms. No fan will ever convince him to release em. Personally I don't believe Lucas will change his mind but who knows.

Sorry it didn't come off as a joke to me. Then again I am sure I have done that to other people before so whatever.

No. My guess is there holding off the release so they can get all two hours on one disc as one long movie.

Lucas knows about the reaction how many fans are made and doesn't give a rats ass. No online petition, no letters, no whinning, nothing fans can do will make him change his mind.

Not true at all. In The Phantom Menace it says you need a strong mind to hear the midichlorians speaking to you.

He writes what it is. I am sure on the back or something it will say like something of the changes. It does not need to say it on the front. This is the Star Wars trilogy.

I beg to differ, and cite the example of Jurassic Park (the first one). Very little in the film was explained (@ least compared to the novel), certain characters were changed, and the ending of the film was drastically altered (in the end of the book, Isla Nublar is nuked). Does this make the film any less of a good film? NO! I could go on and on about the alterations that were made to the LOTR trilogy that no amount of expansion could possibly correct, and while I agree with many of the changes made, I disagree with almost as many. Are they still good films? YES! They may not be the perfect adaptations of the novels, but they work well cinematically, and the truth is, no adaptation will ever be truly perfect, because everyone who reads a novel perceives it in a different way; the fact that Cuaron's version of Prisoner of Azkaban has incited such discussion is a good sign. Why? Because it means that not everyone is willing to take Hollywood's word as gospel. I think it's a good adaptation because it takes chances on the audience's familiarity with the novel, and it has polarised fans of the films and the novels. Only a really good piece of filmmaking can do that. If everyone is in agreement as to quality, something is wrong.

I disagree. After reading the book Jurassic Park my opinion of the movie went way way down. I used to love it now its average to me. Really Prisoner of Azkaban was a much better adaptation then Jurassic Park but was an inferior adaptation then the first two movies. I believe the first two movies both adapted the book perfectly. Not everything was included but they had just the right amount. I believe Chris Columbus has more respect for the books then Alfonso Curanon does. Prisoner of Azkaban is missing details that are very very important.

At least the 1997 Special Editions were clearly labeled as Special Editions; these are just being referred to as 'The Star Wars Trilogy.' Anyway, someone on this site provided a link to a site that got ahold of the trailer somehow, and I downloaded it and watched it. It is fairly misleading...nothing mentioned about changes or anything. They're relying on nostalgia and digital transfers to sway buyers. Heck, I'll admit it...it started to sway me, and I just got my original version bootlegs from Rikter yesterday, which are very solid copies, so it had nothing to do about his DVDs.

They don't have to say this isn't something. Thats like a slab of pork needs a label like this isn't to be used as dishwashing detergent. I hope if anyone buys these expecting them to be the originals and is disipointing I hope it teaches them to research a product before they buy it.

Dude are you trying to make an ass out of yourself? Harry Potter has more story, substance, and imagination then most of that so called great old literature.

However, if you want to make a comparison using incremental changes to show how much more distasteful something can be, then the salt analogy works better. Look at the changes GL made for the SE. Now even more changes for the 2004 release. Finally, another set of changes for the 2007 UE. As each happens, he is adding progressively more salt to the recipe and making it even nastier tasting with each round of changes.

Hes improving the movies.

What's bothering me about their marketing for this set is that Lucasfilm has yet to come out and publicly announce what they're changing...of course, that plays right into their hands about misleading the customer for a profit.

Never claims them as original versions therefore is not misleading.

So much missing. Gone. Release an extended edition. If there isn't the footage make it. These details need to come to screen.
