I think if they WERE faithful to the books, the last 3 movies would be PG-13. But they won't. J.K. ROWLING, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, KEEP US FROM SUCH HERESY!!!!

Mangafanatic wrote:Same here. I try to view the movies as a loose telling of the book. For Harry Potter movies, that's necessary to enjoying them because there's really no way that they can possibly fit everything you enjoyed in the book into an hour and a half or two hours. Not that they have to. . . *coughLordoftheRingscough*

Along those lines, are they going to pull a "peeves" and adjust the stories from here on to take out winky and kreacher and dobby alltogether? I think Kreacher in particular is very important in OotP, and it would change the story drastically to remove him entirely...
Still, I'll be seeing it as soon as it comes out...

Well, after correcting the typo, I too will wear a pin and hope that we're not disappointed.
