Well, I was looking for these scans and actually found a couple of synopses last night. If your curious I can tell you about the ending of those two. They are so wildly different from each other I doubt they could count as spoilers, although part of my fun now is waiting to see if either one is the REAL Deathly Hallows, tomorrow.

I for one, and I'm sure most other folks as well, would appreciate respecting the authors wishes and letting the books come out first. Next week, when most folks have had a chance to delve into the books, have a ball. ^_~`

But in the case of the information being disseminated on the web about those spoilers scans or whatnot, lets not give a cad their 15 minutes of fame.

Agreed. I doubt either one is for real, anyway.

I'll post about it next week if one was accurate, maybe.

Whoa, it's everything that I can do ~ to avoid any mention of HP7 and spoilers whether true or not. I'm seriously thinking of going offline. I'm OK here at this site, but I probably will stop going anywhere else. Besides, I've got Crusader 6 and I'm about 3/4s done with HP6, so that should keep me occupied.

Usually I really don't like to be 'spoiled' on a new book, but for some reason I am very ambivalent about this one. I just want to KNOW. But don't worry, I'm not out to spoil anyone elses fun. Not another peep.

We're about halfway through (family decided to read it together), but we're surprised at how little information has been revealed. It's kind of slow and murky, I hope it picks up soon.

Well, I got delayed a bit in my reading of the book, as my daughter started hogging it, but finally finished it! Very well written as are the others.

OK, I picked up the DVD this morning at Best Buy and guess what my daughter and I had for breakfast??

Yep, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans!! Hadn't had them for a few years.

I got lucky and ate the following flavors:

black pepper

booger

earthworm

pickle (new flavor)

sausage

vomit

sardines

My daughter was very unlucky and ate:

cherry

lemon drop

toasted marshmellow

tutti-fruitti

grape jelly

Probably watch the movie tonight or tomorrow.

I hear there is an additional 15 minutes added to the DVD version of the film. That's good because the theater version was very difficult to follow for non readers of the book.

Tonks seemed to have more of an eye for Harry in the movie than I gathered from the books (maybe I missed that)!

I thought the movie was really excellent. It didn't seem that which was left out afftected the quality of the movie.

Granted I read the book, so Omote's comment above might be right on for those who hadn't read it.

Also, as mentioned in other posts, I usually separate the book from the movie and I know and expect that not everything will make it to the movie.

Especially this one. Fat book = must cut for screenplay, movie purposes!!

Okay I saw the movie and I honestly have to say it has the best wizard battle I have ever seen in cinema. (Lord Voldemort vs Dumbledore)

I also like how they played up how afraid Harry was and how hard it was for him during that time. Plus I love Ginny's 'reducto' , sigh so much to say but so little you can!

I completely agree! It was very entertaining to see. I only wish I could have seen it on the IMAX (as I understand it, that section was done in 3D for the IMAX presentation).
