Harry Potter Fandom Thread

Not open for further replies.
hmm. Well I'll wait to pass judgment on it until I actually see it.

People who market movies tend to put vague spots into their trailers.

It seems promising and I think it might turn out to be the best movie, but as I said I'm waiting for it to come out to pass my judgment on it.
 
RESSURECTED. And 8K posts to boot.

We've had a lot of news.

Firstly, The Tales of Beedle the Bard will be released December 6th. Mellissa Annelli's book about the HP Fandom will be released in November sometime.

And the trailer. The trailer is probably the best I've ever seen, it's so montage-like that they manage to pack a ton of stuff in, Fenrir Greyback, Ron being poisoned, Dumbledore putting on Marvollo's Ring, the attack on the Burrow, etc. All in a minute long trailer.

Finally, the biggest news: The movie has been delayed to July 17th 2009. Alan Horn, the Vice at WB, attributed this to the Screenwriters Strike. That's obviously bullshit, as he just dowsn't want to take away from the amazing run that the Dark Knight is having.

So, I've renamed this the Fandom Thread, because that's essentially what it is.

Publicity stunt.

I'm kidding, but I'm personally just tiered of Harry Potter now, I've read the books, and have had my fill. Make the movies, and let's hear no more. Of course that won't happen.
 
Stunt or not, it sure is good luck for all them orphan kids and other less fortunate peoples. Oh and I, unlike you, will carry the HP books (not the bloody movies) in my heart for as long as possible. I nearly shed a tear when I closed the 7th book after reading it's last lines. I just plain like the series too much...

Oh good, I was meaning to resurrect this, but I've been too inactive to.

Oh yay, more fan made books /sarcasm. Eh I don't know, maybe they won't suck. A lot of Star Wars books aren't bad and they're "fan made."

Yes, I'm actually excited about the movie.

Yes, I saw that. It was rather discouraging but not unexpected.

Talk about milking your success.

It's not really milking it. A lot of authors like to write backstories and histories.

Agreed. I don't care how "geeky" I'm considered, but I, like many my age, grew up reading the books (also being angry at the damn release dates).

False. The majority of people like Harry Potter. Or at the least, tolerate it.
 
Melissa Anelli isn't really a fan. Shj'e more like the Queen of the Fandom itself. She's the Webmistress of the Leaky Cauldron, FYI, if you didn't know, and it's basically the biggest news site on the face of the earth for all things Harry Potter. This is her book about the other side of things. There are already plenty of accounts about the meteoric rise to fame of the books, but none about the fandom. Since the fandom is such a huge part of why Harry Potter is still so successful, I think it will be incredibly interesting to hear about how the Fandom operated early on in the game, so to speak.
