Jeez. All that build up on how to find the "secret" new title and then at the very end of the story, WHAM, they reveal it. What a spoiler!

Interesting title though. If you follow the progression of the stories, they become progressively darker. From a cinematographical point of view, the movies also became darker (both in story and in how it was presented lighting-wise on screen). I will say however, that this has been one of the more enjoyable series for me, personally.

Harry Potter

Hairy Potter

He's hairy. And he pots plants.

Please tell me you really got the joke and my explaining this was just a waste of my time?



Edit: Yep. I wasted my time. MutantCheese beat me to it!

I hope the series never ends. I'm looking forward to HP #70:

"Harry Potter and the Enlarged Prostate."




(with apologies to whoever invented it...I thought it was Gaiman, but best I can find is general sourceless web quotes...)

Books are incredible, and the movies are pretty good, too. Always enjoy going to see them with my fellow geeky friends.

However, Daniel Radcliffe is, in my eyes, one of the worst actors I've ever seen on screen, and the only reason he is even remotely famous is because he was unfortunate looking enough to be cast as Harry Potter.

He should also never, ever, EVER do theater, especially Equss, let alone in the nude:







Excuse me while I go lose my lunch.

The shame that would be upon for posting in a thread such as that would be too much for me to bear.

Hell, it was hard enough posting the ones I posted.
