I think it's one of the few times that a Film Studio said - hey, why don't we play a bit with the Film Studio Logo. So Each Harry Potter Film we see the same Warner Brother's Logo shape, but it has subtile changes that merges it into the first scene of the films.

My favorite is one is in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where it's this big shiny metal floating logo hovering over the Night Sky, and you keep seeing this flash of light (and sound effect) coming from a house that lights through the Warner Brothers Logo. As you pass through the letters of the logo, you go through the window of Harry Potter's room and see he is hiding under the covers working on his Magic - studying with his wand Illuminating so he can see. It's also the combination of editing, and the soundtrack that just makes it work for me.

So, what do you think of the Warner Brother's Logos for each of the Harry Potter Films?
Have you even noticed them?

My favorite ending credit scene is also from the same film - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It's The Marauders Map of Hogwart's. I love the calligraphy used on the map of Hogwarts, with the footprints moving everywhere, as it scrolls down with the credits. I stayed till the very end because I liked it so much. I also liked hearing the soundtrack mix at the end of the film as well!

I like OOTP for the Warner Brothers logo, and POA for the credits. I thought it was cool how they made it like the Marauder's Map.

My thoughts exactly because i loved the marauder's map and the beginning logo as well so i think The POA ending credits and Ootp logo. And DH should have a montage of memories as the ending showing its done and what happened. Also it should have some mini adventures of the new Potter-Weasley kids. And maybe some adventures of the Marauders before the order. I think it would fit well.

Yes, I loved the map too, I always thought there should have been more about it in the film, so it was good that they featured it so much in the credits. A montage for DH is a good idea, it will be the end of series and looking back on it all as the last film ends would be great.

I was thinking that it would fit DH and i think it should end with harry being dropped on the door step.

I quite like the POA logo, but I prefer the OOTP logo. I loved the credits to the POA (after the lousy ending, they were great!) and I also quite like the credits to GOF with the pieces of paper falling from the ceiling, although it did get really repetetive after a while. For the first two films, weren't the ending credits just the names and stuff on a black screen?

Well I have to say for the logo...it would be PoA.It just looked pretty cool to me.
And for the ending scene...definitely PoA again.I loved the marauders!

POA for both...that film knocks the others out of the park, but only in visual terms.

I always thought that for the HBP film, it should start with green mist around the logo, which would then morph into the green flames in the Prime Minister's office as Fudge steps out of the fire (If they were to even include that bit..)
