Thanks for the link. Anyone else think it strange that they moved away from wizards robes starting with the third movie?

I was wondering the same thing, why are they dressed in normal clothes, and I didn't recognize some of the characters in that clip as characters out of the book.

Starting in the third movie, most of the action started to take place away from the school. The filmmakers thought it would make more sense for the young characters to not wear robes while not in school.

Sort of true, I always enjoy the movies becuase in way your imagination gets put up on the big screen.

But at the same time it sort of ruins the books, becuase of time constraints and unimportant details they cut a lot of things out.

That clip makes it almost seem like the school won't even be mentioned, seemed like more of that clip took place elswhere.

The book takes place at other locations more than at the school also.

I knew this, but it seems like with the movies they take more of a dramatice approach to the characters, getting involved in their lives and branching away from the storyline of the book.

Any news on when the seventh book is coming out?

7/7/07.

I wonder how many pages this one will be, wasn't the last one over 600?

Nearly 900 if memory suits me. This one, from what I remember, is supposed to be well over a thousand pages.

I think it looks fun. The last one wasn't that great, so hopefully this one is better.

Not even 700 actually for the last book and the last one was smaller than the prior Order of the Phoenix which was 800ish pages.

700 pages for the last book? I seriously doubt that. There's too much going on, too many loose ends to wrap up, and so much more development to come.
