Did you miss the Norbert scenes ?

One of the advantages of being a Dad is you can go to kids movies and not feel like a weirdo. People might still think you are a weirdo for other reasons, but taking your kids to the movies is seen as responsible parenting in many quarters. Anyhow I took my eight year old son to see the Harry Potter movie, which was wonderful for him has he has read all the books, and deserved a treat. BUT, the Norbert (spelling) storyline had been shortened considerably and we were dissapointed, as dragons are fascinating stuff to eight year olds (and some Dads). What is really worrying is that all the Harry Potter at Hogwarts stories get longer from one book to the next. So how-much are they going to cut and alter from future books as they convert them to the big screen? Anyhow its well worth taking young kids to see :-) Regardz Colin J Davies

In fact if I was a kid I would have definitley been scared watching it. Especially that one scene were he opens the book and the face leaps out. I think it is much more than a kids movie and in fact kids, while enjoying it, won't get it and it's meaning very well. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

Yeah I think thats true for kids who never read the book at all, My son during the movie was almost reciting the story as it unfolded to me. Whilst he was reading the books it was his main topic of conversation as he was so engrossed in it. Regardz Colin J Davies

I saw it last week and loved it. I haven't read the books, so didn't know what to expect. I must say it certainly appeals to all ages. One reviewer said something about the film appealing to kids aged 7 to 70! Quite right!
I've seen it twice now! :) The first time it was mainly adults (being a 9PM showing) and we all came out of it like excited kids. The second time we went and saw it we had this adorable 4 year old sat in front of us. He was making little comments like "where did the cat go?" and clapping at the end of the Quidditch match. Cute! It reminded me of me when I was 4 years old and watching Star Wars for the first time. Totally enthralled and loving every minute of it. Graham *broody!*

Ah Star Wars! Yes, I remember seeing it in London, I was 5 years old. Darth Vader scared the hell out of me!!!!!!!
Well my parents definetly found Christmas and birthdays a lot easier after I'd watch those films. :-) And I still have all the figures that I got as a kid. All stored safely in a box in my parents loft. :-) Graham

Any figurine or toy my parents gave me lasted for at most 1 month, by the end of the month they would be missing heads, arms, legs, motors, wheels and batteries. The only toy that ever survived with me was my bike (though it got regularly bent hehe) and Lego (damn I loved lego, still got whole boxes of it in my cupboard). regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

Well some of the figures that I have aren't exactly in great condition. Especially my first R2D2, which I got when my brother was born in 1979. It's lost all of the stickers on the body and has to use a replacement leg! :-) Paul Watson wrote: The only toy that ever survived with me was my bike (though it got regularly bent hehe) and Lego (damn I loved lego, still got whole boxes of it in my cupboard). I think all kids bikes end up a little out of shape as time goes by. And Lego is virtually indistructable, mainly due to the fact that you can accidently sit on your Lego castle and it'll collapse around you. Do the same with, say, a Millenium Falcon model and something's going to give! :(( Graham *reliving his youth!*
