Question:

Can you not wait till the release of Deathly Hallows or are you dreading it?

I can't wait for the release and the book, but I'm dreading the end of everything. In other words, mixed feelings.
How about with the OotP movie that's coming out in 13 days? Looking forward to it or dreading it? I think most people are looking forward to it...


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I'm really looking forward to the last book and am currently re-reading the series to refresh my memory before it comes out. I admit that I'm a little nervous as to who Rowling is going to kill off this time. I didn't think it could get much worse than Dumbledore, but I must say, if any of the Weasleys die (especially Fred and George), I'm going to be heartbroken. I admit that I want to see Draco and Lucius Malfoy bite the dust. The two of them have had it coming for a while. The Dursleys are horrible Muggles and deserve some sort of punishment, but I wouldn't go so far as saying I want them to kick the bucket.

I would love to see Harry finally triumph over Voldemort, and while I can see why Rowling might kill Harry to prevent spinoffs by other authors, I hope she remains true to Harry and that he makes it out of his final confrontation with Voldemort victorious and alive. After all, if Harry lives, Rowling can write another series about one of the kids he and Ginny have together. ;)

And of course, if Rowling wants to bring Dumbledore back as a nice surprise, I'm sure I wouldn't mind at all.

In regards to the movie, after seeing the promotional poster, I must say that I am looking forward to it. I am so happy that the actors have stuck with the series. I love watching the first four movies and seeing how the actors are growing up in real life as their characters are growing in the books/movies. As they get older, the actors are gaining more experience and maturity, and this reflects in the final outcome of the movie. I just rewatched Prisoner of Azkaban last night and must say I was disappointed at how fast it moved compared to the book. I was also upset that Oliver Wood and the Quidditch Cup weren't included in the movie. It didn't escape me that Chris Columbus directed the first two movies, which, in my opinion, were more loyal to their books than the third, which was directed by Alfonso Cuar㳮. I think that Mike Newell did a pretty good job with the fourth, and I am anxiously waiting to see what kind of movie David Yates directs, as he is also directing the Half-Blood Prince.

That's my opinion! :)
