I still love that song for some reason. When I was a youngster, I listened to it over and over.

Not me, I think Perk is perpetually pissed off at the world lately.

I've never seen a Harry Potter move or read any of the books. Seems popular though, maybe I should pick one up when I have time.

seen the movie on opening weekend, and it was good overall, but if you read the book you will leave dissapointed...
they really left out alot of good stuff from the book, and the movie seemed too "rushed"...
good flick though, and i predict next movie Hermoine will be hotter than ever... with Ginny blipping the radar screen as well...
sadly, i felt like a pedophile at the theatre, as there were 2-3 dozen of underage hotties in attendance...

oh yeah i agree, they rushed the beginning of it, like when they went to that tournament. that lasted all of 10 minutesdiesel gli said:
they were going to make it into 2 movies but decided against it, and made it a 2 1/2 hour movie
the goblet of fire tho, was the biggest book so far
i hope the last one is 1000 pages lol
cuz i love those books
oh and they had reserved the whole front row for a birthday part of kids

I saw it last monday and plan to go again wednesday. I too thought they rushed. SHould have just made it 3 hrs. longs. I can't wait for the next book. Once I read the 1st one, i read all the 1st 4 in like 1 month and finished the newest one in less than a week. I just hope all the original cast decides to stick around and make all the movies.

yeah it was sad when the orig. Dumbledore died. He had such a firm but still loving and caringness about him. I can't really explain it. But the new guy is just sort of cold and not as emotional. I think they really need to change him to compare to the original.

I think the old Dumbledore was Richard Harris. "A Man Called Horse", The Molly Maguires", "Unforgiven" (played the english gunman that Gene Hackman kicks the shit out of). I like him better also. I just saw a movie with the new guy in it, although I can't remember his name="The Layer Cake". Pretty good english mafia movie ala "Snatch". The mafia leader he plays in it is not very sympathic either hehehe.
Michael Gambon is the current Dumbledore. I like him in Sleepy Hollow. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002091/

Mini biography
A genuine star of cinema onscreen, and a fiery hell raiser off screen, Richard St John Harris was born on October 1st 1930 at Limerick, Ireland...the son of a local farmer, he was an excellent rugby player, plus he had a strong passion for literature. Unfortunately, a teenage bout of tuberculosis ended his rugby career aspirations, but Harris became fascinated with the theater and skipped a local dance one night to attend a play of "Henry IV". He was hooked, and he went on to learn his stage craft at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and then spent several years in stage productions. He debuted on screen in _Alive and Kicking (1958)_ , and quickly scored regular work in films including _Wreck of the Mary Deare (1959)_ , A Terrible Beauty (1960), and as a frustrated Australian bomber pilot in _Guns Of Navarone, The (1961)_ .
However, his breakthrough performance was as the quintessential "angry young man" in the sensational drama This Sporting Life (1963), which scored him an Oscar nomination. He then appeared in the WW2 commando tale _Heroes Of Telemark, The (1965)_ and in the Sam Peckinpah directed western Major Dundee (1965), plus Hawaii (1966), and as "King Arthur" in the lackluster adaptation of Camelot (1967). Better performances followed alongside Sean Connery in _Molly Maguires (1970)_ , and then Harris took the lead role in the violent western _A Man Called Horse (1970)_ , that became something of a cult film, with two later sequels.
As the 1970s progressed, Harris continued to appear regularly onscreen, however the quality of the scripts swayed from above average to woeful. His film credits during this period included directing himself as an aging soccer player in the delightful Bloomfield (1971), The Deadly Trackers (1973), Juggernaut (1974), the strangely titled crime film 99 and 44/100% Dead (1974), with 'Sean Connery again in Robin and Marian (1976), Gulliver's Travels (1977) in the "Jaws" rip off Orca (1977), and with Richard Burton and Roger Moore as an ill-fated mercenary in The Wild Geese (1978).
The 1980s kicked off with him appearing in the silly _Tarzan, The Ape Man (1981)_ and the remainder of the decade had him appearing in some very forgettable productions.
However, the luck of the Irish was once again to shine on his career, and he scored rave reviews (and another Oscar nomination) for The Field (1990), he then locked horns with Harrison Ford as an IRA sympathizer in Patriot Games (1992), and as gunfighter "English Bob" in the Clint Eastwood western Unforgiven (1992). Harris was firmly back in vogue, and he rewarded his fans with more wonderful performances in Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993), Cry, the Beloved Country (1995), _Great Kandinsky, The (1995)_ and This Is the Sea (1997). Further fortune came his way with a strong performance in the block buster Gladiator (2000), and he became known to younger film fans as "Albus Dumbledore" in the hugely successful Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002). His final screen role was as "Lucius Sulla" in the mini series _"Julius Caesar" (2002)_ .
A diverse, vigorous and captivating actor, Richard Harris passed away from Hodgkin's disease on October 25th, 2002.
