It's not a spoiler. I happen to know that the last book ends with Harry in a threesome with the Weasley twins. Oh, wait - that was a dream. And it wasn't Harry Potter.

Also, George Lucas? Do you mean Chris Columbus? And what's this talk of Hermione? Has it been leaked she's one of the deaths in book 7? I have been studiously avoiding any leaks and spoilers, though I have been enjoying the online theories.Popcultureboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04315998549744574288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21933547.post-56275430793057081202007-07-18T13:32:00.000-04:002007-07-18T13:32:00.000-04:00How can they be sure that elements left out of the...<I>How can they be sure that elements left out of the forth and fifth films aren't going to be important points in the final installment? </I><BR/><BR/>Apparently, JK Rowling is acting in this regard. I Forget what I read and where I read it, but she cautioned they include something in Phoenix which was cut in the script and whch she said was necessary for the final book/film.<BR/><BR/>Now, as someone who enjoys the films MUCH more over the novels, I'm prepared to accept you don't start with what has, essentially, a serial plot (unlike, say, James Bond) at episode 5. That's shame on you if you do.<BR/>I think they did just fine introducing what they had to introduce and paring down the unecessary parts (Really, George Lucas, we didn't need another Quidditch match).<BR/>As for the pacing and tone...well, that's just to be expected in a series which, by the end of it, will have had about 5 different directors and 80-bazillion people adapting the novels.<BR/>And I can't believe they killed Hermione.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
