In a way it shows that the author, Rowling has no intentions to keep the ball going. A writer or author that stops writing just because their either rich or not doesn’t mean they should.

 I think any fan would love a series of books that falls under Hogwarts. Not Harry in general since that is Rowling’s work. The main character should be grown up with the rest of his friends, it’s based in our time and it would make since in the long run.

Rowling, if you’re reading this then you know that the fans are very deeply upset with you for not even finishing the series right.

The last book was open ended, but it opened our eyes to a wider world as well.

As an author my self I understand the need to keep all the rights, but sometimes we do need help.

Now no more talk of spin offs or anything like that.

Now with the books behind us and the future films, it would have even helped us to understand The Order of the Phoenix even more if the film was done right. In my view each and every film should have been extended by an hour or two. Who knows what will happen in the future, but it would be awesome if it was turned into a TV series as well.

The story follows the final days of a war between two wizard brothers, Avatar and Blackwolf. Blackwolf wants to rule the lush land of Montagar as well as the barren land of Scorch. Using his magic and ancient unearthed technology from our time, he's on the verge of winning.

Avatar, a young woman, an elf warrior and an assassin robot named “Peace” set out to stop Blackwolf by destroying the technology. On the way they face goblins, wraiths and mutants. The end of our world has passed long ago but see our hero's stop them from having the same fate.

I love this movie. Even with the bad 70's music playing in the background the movie's worth seeing. Nothing like elves and fairy's toting machine guns to make you smile.

 

When I first started reading Harry Potter, I envisaged Hermione as a plumpish girl, not necessarily very attractive. Emma Watson changed all that, whether we or J K Rowling liked it or not. In a sense there's no going back to the picture of Hermione that I had at the beginning.

It's hard to visualize Harry himself, or Ron, without seeing Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint. These people have become the characters for most of us.

This is a problem with seeing films of books we've read. It's even more of a problem when the books and the films are intermingling the way the Potter series is.

Reducing Imagination

I remember reading George Eliot's Middlemarch years ago, and having a very definite impression in my head of what the main character, Dorothea Brooke, was like. Some time later a superb television version of the book was produced, and the character was played by Juliet Aubrey. Sadly, my imagined Dorothea was gradually obliterated by her performance. I say "sadly" because I still feel that Aubrey's interpretation wasn't according to Eliot's conception.

Defining Images

The same thing has happened to the Potter stories. Who can imagine Neville Longbottom, or the Weasley twins, or Draco Malfoy (or his father Lucius, for that matter) in any other way now than the characters as portrayed by Matthew Lewis, the Phelps twins, or Tom Felton (and Jason Isaacs). Some of the older characters, particularly Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, and Robbie Coltrane were so well cast from the beginning that they seemed to match the characters in the book, but many other actors are different in subtle and sometimes not so subtle ways from their original counterparts.

Rowling's Imagination

But if we the readers have found it hard to remove the screen versions of the characters from our imaginations, what must it have been like for J K Rowling herself? Is it possible that the books that have appeared since the movies were produced have differed from the way they would have been if the films had not yet been made?

I don't thing there's any difference in Rowling's overall approach to telling her story as she originally conceived it. It remains as complex as ever (far more complex than the films). I don't think her moral vision, and her conception of the characters and what they would do has changed.

But reading the latest Potter book you have to wonder if the action scenes weren't written differently, almost with an eye to the way the filmmakers will screen them. You have to wonder if the actors' personalities and mannerisms weren't affecting her view of the characters and adding something to the way she wrote them. Could it be otherwise?

Rowling would have had to have been the strongest creative artist on earth to avoid being touched in some ways by the movies, especially considering that some of them (the third and the fifth, particularly) have had very strong directors with very personal visions behind them. (The changes to the mise-en-scene in the third movie was a shock to our visual understanding of Hogwarts, with its shifting of some strongly defined features, such as the whomping tree and Hagrid's house.)

Point of No Return

There's no going back. The movies and their view of the wizard world have both expanded and restricted our imaginations. Such a strange intermingling of books and movies hasn't been attempted before, and probably won't be attempted again.
