Kind of don't really like the feel of this American wizarding world. :worry:

[Smithy]

I'd be a lot more excited for this If Eddie redmayne wasn't in it

[Marsh.]

Yeah, and that woman is annoying me already with her line delivery.

[Pete.]

NOT Eddie Redmayne

I get what you mean :/ I wasn't here for this anyway and this doesn't make me excited in the slightest

[Marsh.]

That woman in the head dress just made me think "Hunger Games reject" :worry:

I didn't even watch the trailer that's how much I dislike him :laugh:

[Marsh.]

I didn't even watch the trailer that's how much I dislike him :laugh:

I've never seen him in anything. Is he crap?

[Rob!]

Lumos...maximus? Bye.

[Marsh.]

It's Lumos maxima :suspect:

[Rob!]

It's Lumos maxima :suspect:

Either way...since when were there levels of lumos :suspect:

[Mokka]

I've never seen him in anything. Is he crap?

No he is not :nono:

He is fabulous... but haters gonna hate

[JoshBB]

Sooo hyped for this, wish there were more details in the trailer tho

Either way...since when were there levels of lumos :suspect:

Since always? It was mentioned like 3 times at the direct beginning of the 3rd movie, and throughout numerous times.

[Jay.]

why @ america though

[Mokka]

after watching the trailer... all I can say is... :shrug:

I have no idea what this movie is about

[Marsh.]

Either way...since when were there levels of lumos :suspect:

Eh? I thought Lumos maxima was what it always was? :think: Harry Potter always said it. :suspect:

[Marsh.]

why @ america though

That's where Newt Scamander travelled to.

[Marsh.]

Sooo hyped for this, wish there were more details in the trailer tho

I'm surprised they've released any sort of trailer. It's not out for another year.

[Rob!]

Eh? I thought Lumos maxima was what it always was? :think: Harry Potter always said it. :suspect:

No I'm like 99% sure it's just lumos. Maybe the maxima bit was added in the films which I also think are pretty **** for the most part.

[Marsh.]

No I'm like 99% sure it's just lumos. Maybe the maxima bit was added in the films which I also think are pretty **** for the most part.

Ah, you're right. I just checked wiki and the films distinguish between Lumos, Lumos Solem and Lumos Maxima for different strengths of light. Maxima being a blinding light. :smug: But they don't appear in the books.

[Marsh.]

[Rob!]

I completely forgot about my lumos moaning. I was right :smug:

[Marsh.]

What a doll. :clap1:

[Rob!]

I seriously didn't like the films. Some of the casting was brilliant but they just missed so much out. I suppose they can't really do everything but the series was a bit meh for me. I'll probably see this at some point or other though.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, that's why I'm more interested in this because it's not an adaption so I'll watch it without knowing the story beforehand like with the books AND JK Rowling's wrote it herself so :love:

I like the first three HP films for nostalgia purposes and they were pretty accurate adaptions imo but the rest were mostly garbage. Apart from some impressive stuff in the last 2. But 4-6 are AWFUL.

[Rob!]

Oh has she? :amazed:

Have you read any of her other books since she finished Harry Potter?

[Marsh.]

Oh has she? :amazed:

Have you read any of her other books since she finished Harry Potter?

Yeah, her first screenplay. :clap1:

I've read the Cuckoo's Calling and have the Silkworm sitting in my kindle app ready to be read.

[Rob!]

I keep starting the cuckoo's calling but I haven't actually got all the way through it yet :joker:

[Marsh.]

I was kind of disappointed in it by the end but it's worth the read. I kind of predicted the outcome though.

[Rob!]

I'll read it at some point. It's sat on my bookshelf staring at me.

[Marsh.]

I just saw there's another one out "Career of Evil". I didn't realise.

[Rob!]

Not a new series :clap1:

[Mokka]

I'll read it at some point. It's sat on my bookshelf staring at me.

can we read it together :fan:

I like reading a book at the same time as someone else... I always have so many things to say but no one to say them too :(

[Rob!]

How fast do you read? :smug:

[Marsh.]

And I read the new stuff she's put up on Pottermore earlier. All information regarding America in the Potter universe useful for the new films. :love: I wish she'd just wrote more books though instead.

[Rob!]

I still don't get why she couldn't have just made this play a new Harry Potter book tbh

[Mokka]

How fast do you read? :smug:

faster then the general public... Depends on the text

[Marsh.]

I still don't get why she couldn't have just made this play a new Harry Potter book tbh

Apparently it was that other guy's idea and she said once people see it they'll realise it could only be a play. :shrug:

I took that to mean it'll be boring. :hehe: I don't like plays much.

[Rob!]

Cretin

[Marsh.]

Omg she's actually written about the other magic schools from around the world. :amazed:

[Rob!]

I forgot my Pottermore login years ago :worry:

[Marsh.]

So did I but they've overhauled the site. You don't need your log in now.

It's basically just a wikipedia for Harry Potter now.

I just visit the "JK Rowling's New Writing" section for updates. :laugh:

[Rob!]

OOOOH :amazed:

[Marsh.]

[Glenn.]

She is literally more useful than our Queen. Liz should pack up Buckingham palace and just house swap with JK

[Tom4784]

I still don't get why she couldn't have just made this play a new Harry Potter book tbh

I imagine it'll be adapted into either a film or a miniseries within the next few years. I doubt Hollywood would be willing to let a new HP property go without an adaptation for long.

[Niamh.]

I'd be a lot more excited for this If Eddie redmayne wasn't in it

I thought I was the only one who really dislikes him :laugh:

[Braden]

This won't meet the standards of the Harry Potter series, but I am excited nonetheless.

[Marsh.]

All this Eddie Redmayne hate. :worry:

You have me scared for the movie now. I've never seen him in anything.

[Black Dagger]

He seems really pleasant when he's on our chat shows like Graham Norton, but his films he has done are all so beige and dull. But I will watch this anyway bc it's JK.

[Tom4784]

Eddie Redmayne is fine, He's a good actor.

The trailers haven't really got me excited for the film though, I'm hoping that it's a case of bad trailers = Good film though.

[Ammi]

..ahhhh I saw this trailer the other day, it looks so good...so very excite to see this...:love:..

[Wizard.]

I'm obviously perched because it's set in the wizarding world. But, I can't help but detest these american accents (nothing against them, but these sound really fake) and England/Scotland just made it feel really special and more magical. I'm not here for New York. I'll still gag over it though

[Marsh.]

Full length trailer...

[Marsh.]

:flutter:

[Braden]

The trailer is quite impressive. I don't think it will be on par with the HP series, but I will definitely give it a watch.

I've always wanted there to be focus on the wizarding world in America.

Don't ignore this big news people.

[Black Dagger]

Just why. I thought it was literally just 3 movies on the spin off books. So the next would be quidditch through the ages.

[Marsh.]

They're not on the books. Those books aren't stories. :nono:

The films are based on the fictional author of one of those books called Newt Scamander. Brush up on your Potter knowledge mr. :nono:

[Black Dagger]

I never read them idfk.

[Marsh.]

Neither did I. :fan:

[Black Dagger]

Drag yourself then you ****ing skank x

[Jessica.]

Can't wait to see this!

[Marsh.]

Johnny Depp cast as Grindelwald for the sequels and will apparently make a cameo appearance in the first movie.

[Tom4784]

It'll be interesting to see if they'll actually touch on Grindelwald's and Dumbledore's relationship,.

[Marsh.]

According to recent interviews they are going to and are currently looking for someone to play young Dumbledore. :omgno:

[Macie Lightfoot]

I enjoyed this a lot.

[Jessica.]

It came out here in Portugal yesterday, going to see it tomorrow with my boyfriend and his sister. :amazed:

[Xtopher]

I loved everything about it.

[Jessica.]

I am in the cinema atm, it's the half way recess. I'm loving it. :amazed: It's less dramatic than I expected so far, but really fun.

[Marsh.]

I have the script book. I don't know whether to read it yet or. :worry:

[Marsh.]

Grace us with your review Jessica!!!

[Jessica.]

I loved it, it was way more entertaining in the second half imo, I think the sequels will be even better because this just seems like it's tipping the iceberg of the plot in a way. I really like the cast, I think they did very well! Didn't expect the word "anus" to be used in this film though. :joker: I was excited for it to have an adult cast though and the adults acted kind of childish tbh. That's my only slight reason for disappointment. Overall I really enjoyed it, the opening was so nostalgic and the ending was really open, which I am glad about, I hate cliff hangers. Can't wait to find out more about Colin Farrell's character and about the girl in the picture(you'll know when you see it). The creatures were wonderful, I loved them all, there were some scenes with them that had everyone in the room giggling. :)

[Tom4784]

I was slain.

[Jessica.]

:clap1:

[Wizard.]

This movie was incredibly much better than expected. Took a while to pick up but the second half was great! The score of the film is beautiful and obviously brings back some Harry Potter nostalgia, also the CGI was very very good. It also took me a while to get used to American accents in the Harry Potter Universe and I am kind of hoping within the next FOUR films we visit Hogwarts again. Eddie gave a good performance but I don't really rate him as a great actor and sometimes it's hard to understand what he's saying because he's either too quiet or sounds out of breath. My favourite characters were Jacob and Queenie, love them! Is the sequel out in a years time or are they pulling a Star Wars where the fifth and final film will be released when I have 2 kids and a mortgage?

U wot. Is this a thing?

[Jessica.]

U wot. Is this a thing?

Yes, it's a thing in Portugal, for some reason. In all of the film I've seen here, there's been a 5 or 10 minute break halfway through. :worry:

[Marsh.]

I love Queenie.

[Tom4784]

I love Queenie.

:clap1:

[Marsh.]

David Yates is such a dull director though.

He spoils it by making the palette so dull. It suited Deathly Hallows and the tone of the plot but for goodness sake, get some colour in ya life /charley

Only a scenes with Credence that I can remember, which suited perfectly actually.
