They're starting to figure it out now. It's best used to add depth, rather than make shit fly out at you.

I decided to go with the 3D just because its on the "Ultra Screen" I've never been a fan, but I went to Transformers last week in 3D and It didn't bother me at all like some others. I hated Pirates in 3D, but then again I was drunk.

Yeah, but if you forget you are even watching it in 3D then it still sucks.

Looking forward to it. I've enjoyed most of the movies other than HBP, which I thought was very boring. While I could argue about stuff here and there, on balance I thought most were pretty well done given time constraints etc.

The point initially was that he thought he was just average and it turned out he was "the chosen one". What preteen doesn't daydream about being that (i.e. more powerful or "special" than others)? Then he had to deal with the fact that everyone expected him to be powerful, and he really didn't have any special powers aside from his connection to Voldemort. He had to rely on his friends, and his smarts (since, at heart, every book has basically been an Agatha Christie-like detective story). And it all took place as he was dealing with the sometimes more painful transition from adolescent to adult (which, as in "Buffy The Vampire Slayer", is sometimes harder than the special-ability stuff). Ultimately Rowling's message has been that it's better to be a good person ("choosing Gryffindor over Slytherin") and have good friends, and be smart, than it is to simply be "all-powerful" like Voldemort. This isn't new ground. From Disney's "Aladdin" to the "Star Wars" universe, that moral has been pushed before. If you honestly wanted the whole seven books and films to be pretty much a version of "Anakin Skywalker stays good and kicks everyone's ass", that would've been pretty boring.

I agree, and I never minded any of that. The one thing that drives me a bit crazy, especially in the books, is that I'm not quite sure whether the name of the series shouldn't be Hermoine Granger and How I Defeated Voldemort Despite Being Stuck with These Two Half-Wits.

I don't mind strong female characters, but it's taken to extremes. Harry seemingly can't add two plus two without Hermoine there to tell him how.

Why would I want to watch this in 2D at IMAX vs 3D?

Wut? If you mean Part 2 by "this", it's only in 3D at IMAX. It may be 3D and 2D in regular-sized theaters.

Yes, but...

Spoiler!

...while Hermione gets credit for being very smart and talented with spells, especially for a "Muggle", you can't forget that Harry's connection to Voldemort is pretty much the reason for the whole series--how he can speak snake, how he and Voldemort share thoughts, how he's able to even remotely stand up to him. And ultimately it's Harry (or at least, in the book it's Harry) who figures out how to defeat Voldemort--unless they **** that up and give it to Hermione as well. And IIRC Hermione really didn't have as big of a role in "Prisoner" as the film gave her; in the book, she wasn't the driving force, whereas in the movie she's pretty much the one who figures it all out.

JD, perhaps you could give me a time to get in line for the 9pm showing. I'm thinking of showing up around 7. Too early?

The IMAX in Branson says 2d with it playing in 3d in the same complex on a non IMAX screen.

Ah, gotcha. That's a 2D theater, that's why. They don't have the 3D capability so they can only show one eye of a 3D print.
