The Harry Potter films are, of course, not perfect, but then probably nothing is so. And we (or most of us) still love them and re-watch them endlessly.One can always find something to criticize, but let's discuss what we do like about the films here - what makes you like them?

I think, many actors do a great job bringing our beloved characters to life (even if they do so differently from what I imagined from the books) - perhaps you like the HP actors a lot and you watch the films to enjoy their acting?

I also like the way films are made. I think the directors and camera-people also do a great job - do you think so as well?

One more thing I like about the HP films is that they, in my opinion, look beautiful rolleyes.gif The costumes and sets of Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, etc. - oh my!

And music - let's not forget music - the magic beyond all we do here.

So, what are your favourite things about the Harry Potter films? Why? Why do you like the films? - Discuss away group.gif

I think that the movies are great. Of course any film adaption of books never seem quite as good as the books but I think the Harry Potter movies are excellent! My favoueite movie is OotP. I love the part where Harry is in the ministry after Dumbledore and Voldemort's duel and Harry is on the ground and says "you've never known love or friendship and I feel sorry for you" and I love the last lines of the movie,Harry says "we have something Voldemort doesn't have" Ron says "what?" and then Harry says "something worth fighting for!". I absolutely love these lines they are BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I like those last lines, too, but my favorite movie is definitely not OoP, especially since they left so much out of the book. My favorite one is HBP and my second favorite is GoF.
