Especially the first, which was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in the UK and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the US. But my impression was always that the main differences were changes in words that carry one meaning in the UK and a different meaning in the US -- to cite the example given above, I think lots of Americans would be very confused at the thought that Ms. Weasley made Harry and Ron "jumpers" for Christmas. Going into a whole different kind of fiction there.

Those of you in the States that are buying the UK version, where are you buying from? And how is shipping?

I want to get that version I think based on the cover alone. (Even though it's the same book.)

Stills from the movie

More Stills - better quality

If I recall correctly, the trailer should be hitting sometime soon.

Maybe it's tonight because ABC is airing Chamber of Secrets. The commercial said that they were airing some deleted scenes, interviews and I think a preview of GOF.

I know I read in an article that they will be showing a preview for "The Chronicles of Narnia" during the ABC airing of HP2. Are they showing both?

I saw the trailer for GoF, it's good but really just a big teaser. I wanted to see more. The graphics were neat though, they showed one of the dragons and a mermaid (or merman?).

yeah, i don't think it was the actually the trailer but more of a "we're going to tease you a bit more...show you some pictures...but not really anything else."

thats ok, i'm waiting for the book. 69 days. just checked mugglenet. i'll do anything to avoid studying for finals

mugglenet is FULL of stuff today. I have to wait until I get on my home computer to check it out.

Anyone else notice all of the added scenes in CoS last night? I knew they were going include some... but there were a LOT. I wish I could have caught the whole thing to see what was different... and if I can get an extended copy of it.

I just watched the trailer online.... WOW!!! I am so excited about this one, looks like it should be really good. All of a sudden November seems a REALLY long way away. Haha.

Yea

November is just too far away....I have to say Stanislav Ianevski (Krum) is a cutie.

I am looking forward to this film...I want to see what the leave out, because lets face it....2 1/2 (the max they'd make it) is just not enough time.

Seriously - I always walk away from the movie thinking that it seemed like only an hour and 15 minutes, then notice how long it REALLY is.

What are they going to do when it's time for the 5th movie?!?!?! :eek:

Last night I was "kinda" watching the movie, and didn't really pay attention to the extended scenes - COS hasn't been my favorite movie, or book, so I rarely watch it or pay attention with what's included (but I did love the ending with Gilderoy Lockhart's "new" book! :D)

Spoiler alert for movie 4. Of course it was all over Mugglenet.























Apparently the QWC is hacked down to almost nothing. And the Dursleys and Mrs. Weasley aren't in it either. :(

So without the Dursleys, I'm curious where it begins. But I think that the Old Man at the Cup (y'know, the old man wearing the dress who liked a breeze you know where) is still in it. I mean he has to be, that was an awesome line!

On a random, somewhat related tangent: there is a local fairytale park that is putting on a Harry Potter night on his "birthday." Any ideas for events, scenery, activities, etc are greatly appreciated. I'm going to volunteering with the set up and planning and working the night. So anything to help bring Hogwarts and the wizarding world to Sacramento is greatly appreciated. It's for the kids of course. You can PM me if you would like.

It's gonna be a doozy. But Daniel Radcliff DID sign on for the 5th movie. YAY!

I watched too and was more excited for the trailers they were premiering than the actually movie! What did you guys think of the Narnia trailer?? All I have to say is WOW. Totally knocked my socks off... now there are soo many movies to look forward to!

The Nimbus 3000 Symposium has information on its Quidditch match. The rules are posted and everything. Sounds like fun if you have the room and enough people to do it.

Since this is pretty much the default Harry Potter thread, I feel the need to post two things here:

1. LESS THAN 28 DAYS UNTIL HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

2. i won't be able to read my book when it comes out!!!!!!!:( :( :( :(

So Delta was having a sale on flights to Atlanta. My best friend moved to ATL for grad school so I always jump at the chance to go visit, so when it was cheap, I bought the ticket to go see her for her bday. Last night, I told my mom, who says, "isn't that the weekend harry potter comes out". I went cold. the color drained from my face. I ran to the computer...sure enough, I will be in Atlanta the weekend HPHBP comes out.

I've had the book pre-ordered since the DAY the release date was announced.

And if I buy the book in Altanta, I'll spend the second half of the trip ignoring my friend, so I can't do that!!!! AAAAHHH!!

This means I will have to avoid ALL discussions of the book until the week after it comes out.:(

I had to vent...back to your Harry Potter Thread.
