spizzer Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It was a bit dark. I think I need to see the film again, but perhaps there's some narrative structure to his color schemes? Though if there's a drastic change in a single scene then I can't see why that would be the reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinocchio Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Makes sense, lots of people get into them, but of those, only a small percentage will actually finish the series.Yes, look at the backlist sales for 2010 for example (USA):Sorcerers Stone 345'000 copiesChamber of Secrets 265'000Azkaban 235'000Goblet of Fire 225'000Order of the Phoenix 225'000Half Blood Prince 210'000Deathly Hallows 370'000DH was the best selling book last year -- but that's because the movie pushed book sales. Same thing happened in 2003 for POA.In general -- as you said -- people start with the first one and only a certain percentage buys the next and from those people only a certain percentage buys the next etc.http://www.publisher...gures-2010.htmlSorcerers Stone overall more or less sold twice the copies DH sold in the USA -- and this big picture won't change according to backlist sales. The first one will always be the most popular.In Germany -- another major market -- the picture looks different. Sorcerers Stone per 2008 had sold 5.5 million copies and DH 3.7 million, so the gap isnt as big as it is in the USA. (Source: Carlsen)In Australia by the way the whole saga had sold 5 mio copies as per 2007 according to Nielsen BookScan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've never understood why some love GoF so much. It's decent, but it's nothing compared to DH1/DH2/POA/HBP/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totem Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I love the cinematography in HBP which easily the most visually appealing of the lot, the green touch was very easy on the eyes.GOF is the most entertaining of the lot, not a great adaptation but as a film it stands alone the best of the lot.

Cedarpoint1111 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 BOOKS JK Rowling says Deathly Hallows is her favorite in series and I agree. Half Blood Prince was my favorite until DH came out. Goblet of Fire was the first one I ever read because my school library was out of the first 3 at the time. It is one of my favorites and I wish they had done it justice on film. I truly think they could have split this one into 2 movies but they didn't because Prisoner of Azkaban made 795m. Order of the Phoenix Prisoner of Azkaban Sorcerer's Stone Chamber of Secrets is the most boring imo. MOVIES Deathly Hallows 2 Deathly Hallows 1 Half-blood Prince Prisoner of Azkaban Goblet of Fire Sorcerer's Stone Order of the Phoenix Chamber of Secrets - again, most boring.
