I think some people in Yorkshire might question such a marketing campaign!

I definitely want to see the Simpsons Movie. That looks really funny. I love the trailer with the ending Homer's Spider Pig song.

What did people think of the new Harry Potter film?

I though it was OK as a film, but was not really that memorable, and didn't really feel that the characters were in much danger - I knew they'd win in the end and was just sitting there thinking "enough of the build up already, I'm a bit bored now so let's get to the resolution sharpish"

Also, the whole liberty-erosion by statute leading to a weakened population unable to defend themselves in the face of an oppressive influence-y type bit was a little too heavy handed and ham fisted I thought.

I thought this was the weakest film in the series so far. The biggest problem for me was the lack of anything really unique or original. We didn't really see any magical elements that hadn't already been using in previous films, or anything else that hasn't been present before.

It was still good, but it definitely felt like the prequel to the next film, rather than a film in its own right.

At least there was no sodding Quidditch, though

I haven't seen any HP movie yet, and am also not eager to watch one.

They are better than you might imagine. Thinking of them as children's films is probably the worst thing to do. If you enjoy fantasy films then you should enjoy them.

Yeah, but fantasy films are often done the way children can also watch them.

The first few Harry Potter films might have been child-friendly, but I very much doubt a kid could watch the last few episodes without getting the crap scared out of them

Personally, I don't think the HP movies are childish at all. They're generally a bit light-hearted, yes, but they do also deal with themes such as death, agony and betrayal. The last three films have become much darker in tone, and I expect that trend to continue into the next, and final, two films.
