I've said it numerous times - as much as I love the three actors, I think they really jumped the gun in starting the movies before the books were finished. They've made all of these decisions about what and whom to cut, that I'm sure it made writing the screenplay for DH more difficult. Hell, how are they going to figure out where to start looking for the real locket if they've cut out Mundungus stealing shit?
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I'm NOT spoilerphobic (about Harry Potter, anyway), and it sounds like none of that is much in the way of HSQ by any means, but I suspect you need to go back and white font some of your last two posts, Aims.

Oh! I figured stuff from the past movies and books were ok. I'll go back.

I really don't know what's from what, but some of the remarks made seemed to have future implications about this or future movies. Even if the actual subject matter in question was about past events happening or not happening.
If I'm wrong, don't worry about it. It just seemed like the discussion was about how current or past events will effect Deathly Hollows, and that may or may not ping somebody, if not white fonted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
For the record, the mention of Fred's death pinged me, although I don't know if any Buffistas who care haven't read DH yet.

No worries - better safe than sorry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I feel like talking about future books is okay in Literary but maybe should be whitefonted in here? Is that being completely anal retentive?

Well yes, but that doesn't mean you're wrong.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes. I think that's right, Jessica.
Aims - 100% agreement. There are about 2-3 narrative threads in the final book that I worry about them resolving given the choices they made in this movie.

Yes, specifically, it was Fred's death that sounded like something that maybe hadn't happened yet, but in general major character death strikes me as something that should get spoiler font.
