I haven't given out any major plot points (at least, none which the trailer wouldn't tell you). And I purposefully stopped short of what is and is not in the ending... -------------------------------------------------------------- @Sandeep: Did you watch it? It <i>is</i> quite nice. Not a bad representation of the book at all. Do read the book (series). I hope they go on to make the next ones soon. -------------------------------------------------------------- @Sandeep and Rohit: Welcome to my blog... Do check out other posts here. And don't forget to comment. -------------------------------------------------------------- @Amrita: The Compass shows you "the truth". I will need it for the tag I think. On second thoughts, it is better off at North Pole ;) @Rohit: Oh come on… I haven’t given out any major plot points (at least, none which the trailer wouldn’t tell you).

I don't think so! But can the compass save you from a tag attack? I don’t think so!

I will watch the movies, and maybe reread the book once or twice, but I have moved on :) Don't tell me you haven't read Dark Materials trilogy? Actually, do tell me, I just read the first book before watching the movie. About book to movie, it entirely depends on how much you can cut (or maybe change) the story without cutting into the core. LotR had the major advantage of continuous filming, plus long times. HP series has a lot of subplots which are entirely necessary for the actual story to be understood. @Princess: Well, for me HP is a thing of the past.

My sister made me watch The Order of the Phoenix last night. None of the movies do the book justice. They are poorly sketched and badly acted summaries. (This still in no way tells you what my true views on Harry Potter are). ;) Movies very rarely do the book justice. Lord of the Rings was an exception. As was Gone with the Wind. Oh this seems fun.
