Author Topic: New Year's Eve 2010 - the last Harry Potter picture show Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-18-2007 02:04 PM                        According to "the-numbers.com" the release date for the 7th and final Potter film will be on 12/31/10. Should be an interesting evening.....hordes of people taking their kids to the movies in the midst of all the drunk drivers. The 6th movie will be out 11/21 of next year, so it's a full 25 months between that installment and the final one, the longest gap in the series. Might be a good thing.

I think the lead actor would be 21 or 22 or thereabouts when the last one is done. Does Harry potter age in the books? By that time Daniel Radcliffe should be man enough to grow a porn star moustache.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Not being of the age of the character is nothing new. In more recent times..(well 27 years ago)...remember the move FAME? Look up how old Maureen Teefy was when she played Doris Finsucker (hint...she wasn't in High School any longer).  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-19-2007 10:57 AM                        Hey, if John Travolta can play a singing fat woman, there should be no trouble making Dan Radcliffe look a few years younger.  |  IP: Logged Mike Heenan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1896 From: Scottsdale, AZ, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-19-2007 11:11 AM                     Yeah you guys got a point...  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-19-2007 11:55 AM                     I stopped reading the books at the beginning of the third but I think each book they are a year older (new school year). Although the actors have aged a little more than the books it isn't that far off.  |  IP: Logged Matt Fields Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 545 From: Ohio, United States Registered: Jun 2005 posted 07-19-2007 01:01 PM                     Harry will be 17 in the last book, almost 18 by the end. - Matt  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 07-19-2007 01:12 PM                       quote: Steve Look up how old Maureen Teefy was when she played Doris Finsucker She sure had me fooled. Most of the principals in Grease were well into their 20s when that picture was made. Olivia Newton-John was almost 30, and Stockard Channing was 34! Some people simply don't look their age The only difference with the Potter show is we're starting with children to begin with -- no one knows how they will age in real life.  |  IP: Logged Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 07-19-2007 01:24 PM                     Emma Watson certainly aged better than the rest of them! (and she'll be 18 next year)  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 07-19-2007 03:21 PM                     Yeah, they're supposed to be 15 or 16 in part 5, I believe they're all 17 almost 18 right now. A lot will depend on when they shoot it. Just because they're planning 25 months between 6 and 7 doesn't mean they'll wait until the last minute to shoot 7. In any event I have to agree with Paul, unless December 31st is in referrence to some plot point in book 7 (don't tell me, I don't want spoilers ) it really makes no sense as a release date.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-19-2007 05:12 PM                        Well they'll undoubtedly move it up. This year several movies have been inched up a couple of days, by 2010 moves of two or three weeks will probably be common. To combat piracy, most likely.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-19-2007 06:56 PM                        quote: Dustin Mitchell don't tell me, I don't want spoilers Hormone dies in a massive dual-headed vibrator accident.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.
