| | |  Jason Isaacs talks Potter books
In a 60 second interview with The Metro, Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) was asked whether he reads the Harry Potter books or just waits for the scripts. Quote: Do you read the Harry Potter books or wait for the scripts?
I stopped reading the books when the scenes I loved, usually involving me, stopped making it into the scripts. I’m waiting to read the script for the last one, then I’ll read the book. I don’t want to fall in love with particular sequences that don’t end up in the film. Obviously, they can’t include the whole story or the films would each be 20 hours long. I read the first four books all in one go, but haven’t read one since.

Yeah, you do miss the scenes from the book that aren't in the movie, so I guess his logic works.

Wow. I suddenly love him even more than before! He's a real fan, which is SO nice!  Shame he hasn't read them, but I completely understand where he's coming from. I admire him a lot for it...clearly he's a big fan if he doesn't want to be disappointed!

I don't blame him a bit, I think I would do the same thing. It's hard to see good scenes cut out that should be there!

Thats probably a smart idea. All of us miss some of our favorite scenes that don't make it into the movies but the books are better.

God I love Jason for what he said regarding all his delicious stuff being cut. He is just the embodiment of the sexy slimeball that is Lucius. ARE YOU DIRECTORS/SCREENWRITERS EVEN LISTENING TO THE STARS OR FANS ANYMORE?????

I agree 100%, I really think they've lost touch with the essence of the books, starting with POA, which is why I'm in the "split the last movie in two" camp, b/c there is NOT a lot in that book that's superfluous to the plot. na: IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

That's what I'm saying! ("Obviously, they can’t include the whole story or the films would each be 20 hours long.") So just understand.
