Want to see a spoiler 1-Sheet for the conclusion of HARRY POTTER?
Hey folks, Harry here and Warner's just released this poster.
It is funny, I asked Yoko if she wanted to see the new Harry Potter poster - as I commented on how sad an image it is. She responded, "I've got a feeling that the world will be better once all the Harry Potter films are over." It is an interesting notion, that as the world for young master Potter has turned dark and dreary. With the various forces of Fiennes overpowering the young wizard... well our own world has conjured a lot of darkness as well. Is God punishing mankind for worshiping this Wizard? I'm sure that's what some may think. Me... I'm relatively sure that they are separate issues. BUT... ya never know. What if Potter films are the only things protecting us from the teetering brink? On 1 A.P. (After Potter) the Mayans predicted the end of all time. Hmmm...

Harry you know the mayans didn't predict the end of time right?

I'd rather re-read the books. Too many compromises made in these films.

We'll all feel better after a few Butterbeers at Universal's IOA
by the reluctant austinite
I thought it was just me missing the whimsical qualities of the first two Harry Potter films. I mean, it's so damn serious now. "The Half Blood Prince" was just depressing. Where's the Butterbeer cart?
-
We all know David Yates' bland ass style won't look anything like that. Fucking destroyed the Harry Potter series.
-
It's like they planned on making each movie darker than the last, but then screwed up the pacing of the darkening halfway and ended up making it way too dark. I haven't read the books so feel free to correct me. But it feels a little silly how serious this movie is taking itself and how it wants you to know how fucking serious it is too.
-
Oh, right. Because J.K. Rowling has no idea how to write, and the filmmakers have no idea how to adapt. Nevermind.
-
Buncha racist mudbloods up in this!
-
It's all in the books already.

Martin Scorsese: Rupert Grint is the next DeCaprio(!)
by richard_gere_raped_my_gerbil
http://tiny.cc/behux
-
have read any of the books.
-
The books to get progressively darker. The last book easily being the darkest. For example, it starts (really, page one) with a scene of torture and ends in a murder. And in the part of the book that the poster is referring to, so many people (main characters) die, I lost count.
-
OK I'm gonna see these, they're gonna be the best of Yates's movies without a doubt (how could they not be? Ootp had the potential to be awesome but was fucked, HBP somehow didn't work as well even though the book was fucking made to be adapted...*sigh*). Alfonso Cuaron remains the most important person ever to be involved in this franchise (OK, maybe after JK Rowling...). He came in, did exactly what was needed (Prisoner is still the best movie, and no Yates will NOT beat it, he's just not capable)
-
But the marketing campaign feels too "try hard" ya know? This is Hogwarts not Auchwitz.
-
I have an HP7 - that baby prints like a motherfucker.
-
I couldn't agree more. Cuaron's is the only film that feels like a complete (and powerful) story and entertains from start to finish.
-
When I first read the battle at Hogwarts part, I thought of Bednobs And Broomsticks.
-
I still say the world obsession with HP is much, much better than the obsession with Twilight. At least this has a good message where as Twilight just feeds into harmful teen stereotypes. Meyer did the world a disservice when she created Twilight.
-
yes, there's a huge battle at the end of the 7th book, but still.
-
...I still think that one-sheet looks bad ass! I may even want one of my vary own. And hey, maybe they're trying to make up for the fact that there was no destruction at the end of HBP. They're doubling up on the kick ass for Deathly Hallows.
-
FACT!!!
-
Evidence: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
-
I haven't read the books and don't really know anybody that does and I was really looking forward to watching HP7 knowing nothing regarding the ending. I'm sure glad the advertised that Hogwarts gets destroyed! No, not really.. I honestly did not know anything regarding the ending of the series other than a bunch of people die. I'm actually sort of choked by this poster ;p
What a brutal way to reveal something like this to casual HP fans. -
I saw JAWS, THE EXORCIST, THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR, THE OMEN, MARATHON MAN and TAXI DRIVER by the time I was ten...
Man, you guys gotta get mommy's teat out of your mouth at some point... -
It was all padding. The characters wander aimlessly with no direction for 500 pages. The highlight of book 7 arguably is the attack on the Burrow, which they added to 6, which was insanely stupid. They also really, *really* hosed the ending of 6. I'm not a huge fan of the books by any means, but I was furious leaving the theater for 6. Now they have to stretch basically nothing over two movies, without having the big sequence at the Burrow. The climax of the series is also extremely anti-climactic. That is the rare exception where I really hope they do majorly deviate from the books.
-
It's a magic school, ya know? ;)
-
you don't talk about the coming apocalypse. the mistress will take great pleasure in your punishment.
-
Zac Efron. Their career paths are shaping up to be almost identical. I give it five years until Efron really starts showing his acting chops (which anybody that isn't unbelievably biased has noticed) and starts taking some ballsy roles.
-
I don't think it's possible to see a reflected castle in the water if the water is roiling - it would be fragmented and distorted if seen at all. I bet the artist had the waters calm with the reflection and someone said to stir them up - keep with the troubled tone. So now it looks quite fake. Cool otherwise tho.
-
No offense intended (though I realize that's an extremely offensive statement), but that kind of sentiment is just idiotic I feel.
-
About Twilight. Retracted.
-
Not how I pictured it when reading. Anyone else?
-
WB has never done that with their marketing and advertising before, have they?
-
The attack on the burrow is nonexistent in the book. The kids pretty much disappear as soon as it happens. Also, you seem to be forgetting every other awesome sequence from the book. The infiltration of the Ministry of Magic, the different Harry Potters leaving the Dursleys, Malfoy Manor, the dragon, infiltrating Gringotts bank, breaking into Hogsmeade, breaking into Hogwarts, the Room of Requirement, the attack on the castle, Godric's Hollow, Xenophilius Lovegood's house... holy shit there is a LOT to see and do in that last book.
-
The world WILL be better off once this crappy film series has ended. It's about 1/10 as interesting and exciting as the books it's based on. And we'll finally be spared the lifeless performances of Harry Potter's lead actor. :P
-

-
haha yeh, true enough.. i would've really like to finish out the series with a surprise, tho', or at least get a taste of what the story is without ruining too much? They've been pretty vague so far (to the casual fan) with the trailers and they've got me just as excited as people who've read the book.. it just sort of pisses me off in the same way that the Quarantine teaser literally ended with the final scene of the movie. I thought people in the TB were joking when they said that. No such luck.
Loosejerk- I'll be there! -
I'm not really familiar with the reading material but by the way you're making it sound it's as if the battle did no damage to the school at all. I'd love to have read your reaction had the poster been a picture of nothing but a smoldering crater.

it's just a conspiracy theory conjured up by dumb paranoid white people. the Mayan calendar is cyclical, and one day in 2012 happens to be the first day of some new thing, I don't know what. but NOWHERE did they predict some crazy apocalypse in 2012. it's a dumb, new age myth.I love you big guy, but you have to help me convince people not to spread this retarded shit forever!

Yeah, and screw you too, honey.

Seems Scorsese wants to make the ginger into the new Leonardo DiCaprio. Good luck...
-
I mean little kids..I guess they are future readers of this site though
-
Really, just as Wonka said, no such predictions were made.
-
Isn't this whole Mayan calendar 2012 thing just a ruse created by the same folks that brought us the infamous Bible code and Y2K? Not to mention crackpots like Hal Lindsay and Jack Van Impe?
-
I gotta admit that is a pretty rad poster.
-
Regarding the 'ugly red-headed kid'. A few days ago Martin Scorsese said: 'I thought he (Grint) was a great actor in the Harry Potter movies. In a lot of scenes, the boy stole the show. I would be interested in working with him. I would have no issues in casting him as a gangster, he is a very talented young man. When Leo was in Titanic and Romeo And Juliet, nobody saw him becoming a bad a** in movies like The Departed. But he has become one of the greatest actors of all time. The very same could be true of Rupert.' Professor Monster, that's MARTIN SCORSESE there. Someone who knows what they are talking about. Not some sad troll who has zero discernment of their own, but who thinks it's smart to take cheap shots at young actors. You should sit in a corner and have a long hard fucking think about yourself.
-
I do really think they should stop spoiling this film now. I think I once read an interview with Roland Emmerich (of all people) saying that no film should put footage of its final act in its trailers, publicity etc. (This was around INDEPENDENCE DAY.) He's right. The trailer seems to have loads from the end of the second movie. I think WB should not release ANY more footage now. And I dearly hope they will treat Part 1 as a separate film, and not do what they did with Matrix Reloaded and Back to the Future 2, which both felt like extended trailers to their sequels. As ever, take a lesson from EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Loose ends, rather than a 'cliffhanger' in the stricter sense of the word - the film felt it had a proper ending.
-
"Harry Potter and the Hack who thinks sheer length equals epic"
-
whether or not hes the next anyone, grint has stolen almost every scene he's been in for 6 straight movies, and id be very surprised if hes disappears entirely after this series, unless of course he wants to.
-
... we don't need no water, let the motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, burn!!
-
I would be supprised if Rupert Grint soped acting and decided to go on a different path with his life. The guy sounds so humble, even too humble to be an actor with a drive to go on a long career path. Daniel Radcliff seems to have more "ganas" for a career longevity. And then there's Emma Watson, who just doesn't seem to know what she wants to do with her life.
-
He's started showing signs of senility then?

"nobody saw [DiCaprio] becoming a badass in movies like The Depa
by scratchmonkey
Some of us still can't. Probably because he's always looked about sixteen years old, no matter what role he's played. Perhaps Scorsese has an inexplicable fear of young guys with high-pitched voices and patchy bumfluff on their chins?
-
Insinuating that people "worshiping" the Harry Potter series could have anything to do with the state of the world is HIGH COMEDY. I mean really, are you fucking kidding? I sure hope so.
-
This poster says it all. Most of us know how it ends but it's very exciting nonetheless
-
Which is strange because it followed the best, The Half-Blood Prince. But the way the Deathly Hallows just wastes the middle part of the book and then rushes through the conclusion disposing of MAJOR characters like so much used kleenex really pissed me off.
-
Im sorry but this poster is absolutely badass...you guys complain when the movies are too light...i think ppl just want to complain...and yes this needs to be in 2 movies, because honestly every other movie since the Prisoner of Azk. have been a disappointment because of how they cut out key components of the story so they can stay within a 2.5 hr movie. Hopefully these wont feel rushed.

All those sequences described above equal one 120 minute movie
by mortsleam
There is simply no need for two of these things. Now we get to watch 50 to 70 minutes of Harry, Hermione and Ron camping. Great.
-
book. i found the goblet of fire to be a chore of a book. The little i saw of jk rowling on tv chat shows, suggested to me that she didnt like the limelight or doing promotional stuff. I have not seen this written or speculated about. but she really hated the idea of an editor to editor her books or at least tighten them up. i said once before and stand over this, JK suffered from padingitis.
-
piece of work. it was deviod of rowlings greatest creation, which was hogwarts its self and that only got one chapter. one chapter. literary world was glad to see the back of this woman and her franchise. cause to sucked the life out of everything.
-
so - the same man who cast Cammy Diaz in Gangs of New York - which BLEW save Daniel Day Lewis is commenting on the pug fugly red head kid in Harry Potter - MARTIN SCORSESE has maybe 5 to 10 years left before he's in the sod - so good luck, may as well plan a business venture with your great grandpa. And as for Leo - when did he become a great actor - I admit - Gilbert Grape was pretty funny - but other than that he's nothing special. Not even on calibur with Stacey Keech
-
how is it possible for the fire to be reflecting on that stormy water? Have these artists never been outside?
Also leonardo dicrapio is not a "great actor". Hes a regular actor. I have seen one good movie with him in it: The Departed. The rest were mediocre, if I even bothered to see it. -
People on this talkback - hilarious. They hate Harry Potter, and Rupert Grint SO much that now Scorsese is a so-so director with only a few years left, Gangs of New York 'blew', and DiCaprio only 'average'. Hilarious. Grow up, boys.

if harry was to access to all the main aspects of studio..
by emeraldboy
ie talk to writers, editors, producers, directors as a series. people would either call him a sell out or think it was cool. because of the anonimity surrounding talkbackers real identities and who they are, jettl1993 is called a liar and to even ask him what films he worked on, would I have no doubt brings of dont listen to him emarldby he is a liar. why cause he is an insider. and as well all know this site hates all aspects of the movie studio system. but that's easy when you dont make films. just watch them. armchair producers and directors the lot of you!

Nice companion piece to the first film's teaser poster
by spifftacular squirrel girl
My first feeling from seeing that art was feeling a little unnerved. Another site compared it to the first film's teaser poster (A shot of Hogwarts looking all sorts of awe-inspiring as the students are brought to it by boats) and the new movie(s) teaser art and it's kind of goosebumpy in a way.
Also, as far as the damage to the school itself, I've got a feeling that it looks a lot worse in the teaser just so there's more of a sense of dread than what is described in the book. -
for the Deathly Hallows. Padding the book with the camping was tedious to read. On a side note, I appreciate that adaptation needs to remove elements for time consideration, but I'm still annoyed that Ron didn't ask for Viktor Krum's autograph. It would have taken all of 5 seconds of screen time
-
Y2K first. Was not a myth. Ask anyone with credibility in the field of computers. No one was doing anything about the problem in 1994/5. The scare-mongers got people working on it. Even most of the scare-mongers did not think the worst-case scenarios would happen, but they could have.
The Mayan calendar is cyclical as people have been saying and resets to zero in December 2012. That is the entire basis for the apocalypse theories. No one claims the Mayans predicted anything. -
While the first half could have used a little trimming, a lot of it was important and integral to the story.
-
Ever since they gave the series of Yates it has gone straight to hell.

the image and text say it all. the school done in by battle yet the sun rising in the east.
the school was this badly damaged in the book. these are full-grown wizards in the winner-takes-all battle of the series. somehow there's gonna be less damage than bridge collapses and whatnot?
i don't know what trailer iceman saw, but the one i've seen showed a ton of spoilers. he may not have a context for those events, but take it scene by scene, man. you see HRH fearful, desperate, fighting and on the run in various seasons and locations. and look at what you know from the movies alone. how could it now come down to a battle at hogwarts? that school is the only home both harry and voldemort have ever known. they both love the hell out of it. if that final wand-off in the trailer doesn't sum it up for you, this poster sure can't spoil it. -
they were supposed to be. It was supposed to make you feel what the trio was feeling. They were going in circles and accomplishing nothing and believe me I felt every bit of it :)
-
That is all I ask. Blow it to smithereens. Please.
