Clearly not a children’s movie any longer.

I guess the series wants to go out with a bang!

Full disclosure: I’ve never read a word of HP.

Typical Hollywood - when the creative juices run dry, just resort to nudity and sex.

The kids that started reading these books when they were originally published are young adults now. However I fail to see the point of nudity in it.

Say what??

I thought they said they were staying true to the books?

Porn is for Kids now I guess.

I'm not sure where the nudity comes in but the final book is not for little kids. It deals with real violence and death. The assumption is that the kids who started with Harry Potter 1 are old enough to handle it.

Oh NO! Say it ain’t SO! JK should have put the skids on that idea - it’s NOT in the book - I am utterly depressed by this - next thing you know Edward will get it on with a were wolf! Nothing is sacred in the Obamanation of the world - NOTHING! ARRRRRGH!

These began as some very nifty, imaginative and entertaining movies. They were just fun to watch. Why in the world destroy them in this way. What a shame.

The Harry Potter series was OK.

However, it's not been for kids since about #3 or 4 in the series.

The movies, IMHO, have never been for kids. Not little ones at least.

By the last book the majority of the characters are 18, each book is aimed towards Harry’s age.

I have a picture of him starring in Equus but I think I’d get banned if I posted it. He’s in the altogether with a horse and the picture cuts off just in the nick of time (if you catch my drift...)

Huh. So does Danny actually swing that way? Never mind, I’m really not that curious.

Worst book of the series. It was difficult to keep reading on. I can only imagine how difficult it was to write since the author had clearly lost interest herself.

It’s “jump the shark” time for Harry! This pisses me off as much as when TV Land started showing “Enzyte” commercials during the “Andy Griffith” show. One minute Aunt Bee is making an apple pie for Opie, the next there’s a couple talking about how satisfying their sex life is now that Bob’s bigger, firmer and “lasts longer”.

Can’t remember the last post with such a large ignorance-to-word-count ratio.

For my part, I’ve seen the report, and really doubt it’ll end up on the screen.
