I fucking love that picture of the burrow. I was really disappointed about the lack of end battle
MockingjayAngel
Literally watching this movie when I clicked on this.
Icannotthinkofacleverusername
this is awesome in the fact that I'm watching this film right now.

Why in the hell did they burn the Weasley house? Anyone?
MisterManatee
Unfortunately, it kinda has a crappy story. It's probably my least favorite of the series overall.

I feel like the 2nd photo says Imgur Man... :D

You should watch Nerdwriters1 video on the third movie. All about the camera work.
AwkwardDalek
I'm glad I clicked on the link. I may have been outraged at the time, but this reminds me I can never not love something HP <3

Bruno Delbonnel; damn right it's beautiful.

Dat symmetry.

More Harry Potter on imgur please, even if it is this slight disappointment of a movie!!

Does Harry die?

Bruno Delbonnel, the director of photography, received an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography
roseoakmoon
It IS beautiful. Unfortunately, most of the fans forget you have to take the books and movies as separate. Comparing only disappoints.

After all this time?
aboriginalgangster
You should see The Hobbit

I feel like its too late for me to start reading the Harry Potter books for the first time... Should I do it? (I have seen all the movies)
Hopwizard
Um yes!!! I still re-read them every so often and I started reading them when the fourth one came out! (So several years ago now)
ScratchMouse
2nd photo train station is my home town. Feeling like a pretty big deal right now.
myownworstenemy
That's awesome! I am envious.
Imisspelledthatonpurpose
Honestly, these just look like someone paused the movie a bunch of times and took a picture of it.

Green, orange, green, green, orange, green, orange, orange...
TheHeadTheTailTheWholeDamnFish
This happens far too often these days! It's the main reason I can't watch CSI or Michael Bay movies. Although there are other reasons.
FigetaBoutitBurger
this "movie" was barely a coherent movie. It fails as a novel movie as well as as movie!
Lighs
These are superb- the amount of time and work put into creating these shots for merely seconds onscreen is unbelievable. Fucking magnificent
ponzu
I haven't seen the last three HP films yet because I've convince myself that it's not over until I've seen all the movies

Why is there a picture of Gandalf?

Just realised that this post is thrre years old... :/

That quote is from Deathly Hallows (part 2). I have it tattooed on my side :) http://imgur.com/6Drjb

Thanks!

I feel like this is an Imgur version of being Rick Rolled..
Demiguise
It could have been even more beautiful if they hadn't butchered the plot line so much. It lacked all the other great Tom Riddle memories.
mcwhitie
If you prefer the book so much, read the book again.
laestrella
I agree, i loved reading about tom riddle it helped to understand him better.
xMcMurphyx
Or if they stopped fucking with the colors this badly.
steamboatwilly
This was my favorite book out of the series.
merptastic
Agreed. The 6th book is my favorite, yet probably my least favorite movie. But, I understand that film & novel are put together differently.
marksmind
While the films plot may be lacking in comparison to the novel. Its cinematic beauty is undeniable.
kjhovey
The music is beautiful as well.
haveawhaleofaday
Didn't they also burn down the Burrow for no reason? The only movie after the 3rd I truely loved was the 7th, only my 5th favourite book.
imitalianpleasedontcomplainaboutgrammarerrorsokbye
you are a nerd. i like you.
haveawhaleofaday
Why thank you!
imitalianpleasedontcomplainaboutgrammarerrorsokbye
because you have a clear classification of the books in mind, and you are pointing out differences :D
UseTheForceLuke
That's the one thing that made me absolutely lose my shit. And how butt-awkward Harry and Ginny's "romance" was
MmeStraka
Exactly! Ginny's this major badass, they work so well because she isn't awkward in the books.
Saxit
So is The Hobbit, go watch it if you haven't yet.
neonfraction
I saw it. I wanted to printscreen every frame. It was possibly the most disappointing moment of my week when I realized I couldn't.
IllHaveWhatShesHaving
Oh god, all the people on here who like Earth Porn will be blown away by that movie.
TrixiHobbitz
Note to self: Bring spare socks.
makescreamogreatagain
I'm literally leaving to go in a few minutes.
makescreamogreatagain
Leaving to go...... That was a tad redundant.
ajgriffy
Better than "going to go" which is far more common. I'm going to go now.
Saxit
Look forward to it, and remember to enjoy the scenery
Sogeking
I was a bit disappointed tbh.
ohwhosthatdashinggentlemanoverthere
I sort of agree, I think it went on a little too much, but we have to see the other parts before making any judgements!
Snowsuitup
Agreed. I am still disappointed that they broke it into 3 movies.
Lowzenza
same...I don't know why but to me it seemed a bit childish...needed it to be darker but then again it's not supposed to be so that's just me
Saxit
At the scenery?
Sogeking
no no no, sorry I meant the movie itself.
Saxit
Meh, maybe, I think we need to see all three parts before we can see its full potential.
Sogeking
Yea maybe, can't deny my expectations might have been to high.
DrUGOELadanianTBoneArmadilloLeathalWeaponTomlinson
Beautiful? Yes. Disappointing for everything they left out, especially the entire ending battle? Yes.
alabaster
The point of a movie isn't to be an EXACT replica of a book. I found the first season of GOT a little boring after reading the books.
englishaccentnotbritish
I can't tell you how much I love this comment. But it's a lot.
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
yeah... did i forget to mention i stopped watching after the fith cuz i dont care, i read the books over and over...fucking downvote faries
cwrong
That's why you learn to appreciate the films and books separately. If you get hung up on what was left out, you'll never love them.
emmalee256
I heard they cut the end battle because they didn't want to run the risk of repeating things in the last movie.
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
SO glad someone else feels the same way. I was so disappointed that the fight at the end was replaced by Harry whining at Snape.
andysfavoritetoy
And Malfoy and Bella jaunting through the Great Hall? WTF?
Dolphinsrapedmybaby
i stopped watching them after the 5th
punkrawk97
Have an internet hug.
scsj
This was a fucking awful movie. The cinematography was good, but of course it was so dark most of the time you couldn't even appreciate it.
mrsmusica
I could never get into the HP movies. The books were always more vivid and real to me so I've never seen any past #2.
WingsAtThe5peedOf5ound
honestly, the movies pick up in quality around 5. watch 6 (best imho), 7p1 and 7p2 and you won't be disappointed.
mrsmusica
Heh! That seems like more effort than I care to put into them XD
WingsAtThe5peedOf5ound
then watch 6. you will NOT regret it. courtesy of: someone that didn't like the movies for the longest time
samsonguy920
You know, you can continue crying about something that won't be changed, or learn to appreciate the work that was done in the time allowed.
LadyStoneheart
A thousand times this.
andysfavoritetoy
Except when they have movies that are three hours that include almost everything and movies that are two hours that leave stuff out.
b0pp
This. Recognize that book & film are different medias & movies will never live up to a fan's expectations, no matter how well they are made.
jlv816
I see what you mean, but this commentary is entirely warranted. Even reasonable fans were shocked by how much HBP was cut.
samsonguy920
I also want to say how I laugh at how people rage at the changes in the movie for Hitchhiker's, when Douglas Adams wrote the screenplay.
samsonguy920
True there were some edits made by the follow-up screenwriter, but they were nebulous at best.
samsonguy920
I will say this. I grew up reading LOTR. I was disappointed Tom Bombadil or Scouring of the Shire didn't feature in the movies. ..>
samsonguy920
..> Does this make me froth with rage and hate on movie producers? No. That is nothing but a petty and selfish reaction.
WhyWolf
That's what I keep telling people who bitch the changes done in comic book movies, especially Bane in TDKR.
Prodigybeast
Yeah but the difference here is that comics have many alternate universes. Nolan's TDK trilogy is its own universe, unlike the HP movies.
ImmortalLoveRodd
I hate that people bitch so much about Bane, when CN took just as many creative liberties with the back-stories of TwoFace, Joker...
ImmortalLoveRodd
...and Commissioner Gordon
DidgeriDouche
Just keep this in mind: The shortest HP movie was the longest book. Chamber of secrets was over 20 minutes longer...
jlv816
Even JK Rowling came out and said the OTP book was too long. The editing they did for the movie was perfect. HBP was a mess movie wise.
DidgeriDouche
Not saying it wasn't. Especially hated the inclusion of that Christmas fighting scene with the Burrow burning.... WHY?!?!
jlv816
No kidding right? I was just like HP movies... WAT R U DOIN... HP MOVIES... STAHP.
DrUGOELadanianTBoneArmadilloLeathalWeaponTomlinson
You know what? That was very well put. You may have just blown my world apart right now.

Even if I still agree with your original comment, I upvote for being willing to listen
Cassodeus
+1 for willing to listen to someone.
