Well it's true that the only reason Harry is allowed to visit the village of Hogsmead in the GoF books is because at the end of PoA Sirius signs Harry's Permission form...

so how will they get around this in GoF?

Hmmm... you are right. BUt its easily done - Sirius could just send it to him in the post with a note attached saying 'this may be useful'

I don't think it should be too complicated :)

Maybe one Permission is enough for all the years?

Yeah perhaps, but I think it should have been dealt with in that way perhaps in with the parcel with the Firebolt and Hippogriff feather... oh well we will see  ;D

hehehe  ;D

LOL yeah T&F I don't want to have to collect the permission slips from all future movies ;) but seriously - we never saw this one signed...!

YES!

I got one from Olly a few days ago - number 46/100

 ;D (really - a smile this wide - from ear to ear!)

*whispers* how much :D

Ah, we know the answer already...  ;D

TMore than I should be spending ;)

Honestly Ben would you like me to ask Barclays to send a duplicate of my bank statement to your house  ::) just to keep an eye on me?

Another thing I missed from the PoA movie, is when he sends the permission slip to Harry at the end in the book, he also sends the new owl for Ron.  I would have liked to see that at the end of the movie.

Yes where's pig?

Do you feel they cut too much? Like the whole marauders story. Don't the non book readers wonder how Lupin knew it was a map? Why Snape suddenly turned up. Why didn't we at least learn that the Stag was the animagi form James took.  Geez it explains it better on the back of the trading cards ::)And immobulus to stop the tree please if it was that easy wouldn't everyone do it?

 :)

I agree.  Too much was left out of the movie.  Especially the Stag form should have been explained.  I had to fill my husband in and my nieces who hadn;t read the books.  Luckily, I got them all to read the 4th and 5th ones so I wouldn't have to explain later.

Well not only is it not signed. But it is no longer in one piece, it has been cut up, stuck to cards and distributed across the planet  :o

So far the movies have been a little disappointing. They all seem to leave out too much. It can't be a matter of budget. They'll make millions on the CDs and the CD bundle set they are going to sell. I think they need to add more.

More Snape and Lucifer Malfoy scenes will really make the movies jump to life, I think. I mean, let's face it, what good is a hero when there is not bad villian/s to compare  to him? If the villians were to get more play it would make Harry appear more heroic. When they get around to the OotP they surely must play up the graveyard event, don't you think. Not to mention the event where Harry finds the prophecy.

The graveyard event happens at the end of the next film, so I think you may get some more baddies there.

I really don't see why they cut out the important stuff yet left in the boys eating sweets that made them sound like animals  ???

IMHO I feel that movies will never replace books.  I'm an avid reader and every movie adaptation I've ever seen cut out too much of the plot from the book.  If I hadn't read PoA  first, I know I would have gotten lost if I had only watched the film.

In POA Professor McGonagall refused to sign it because she didnt want Harry venturing off school grounds with Sirius black running around so Harry wouldnt find out that he was his Godfather. After he exscaped he was allowed to go because Harry nknew the truth.

I had to fill in all the missed details because I was the only ne who read the book frm my family.  Finally managed to get my husband to read GoF and OOTP, and HPB (when it comes out) so that he can get all the info from the books now.

My moms going to read them when we go on vacation. Great, I'm going to have to haul around six books on my school brake ::) ;)

I was very dissapointed by the loss of the Marauders story from POA :(

And I keep getting annoyed at the very start of POA, when Harry's under the covers at Privet Drive using magic to read by instead of the flashlight. I'm still surprised that J.K. let that slip into the script.

Yes - use of magic for underage wizards out of school premises and school time is just out of the question!

Harry always used to attempt to bursh up on his magic theory in the holidays but certainly no practice (I am sure Hermione was busier though ;))

Actaully Harry could use magic after school because he was doing him homework

No its a strick no magic out of school rule remember Dobby

I think the nearest he can get is reading magic books - all theoretical (book) work - no practicals
