Yates' comments on the OoTP
 
David Yates, in an interview for LA Times, commented on OoTP. He stated that when he read the book he discovered strong political overtones. He also adds, "And it's probably the most emotional of all the books." "As I read the book, suddenly, I tuned into the kind of thing I have always been drawn to."

Regarding the relationship between Professor Umbridge and Harry, Yates has a few comments. "Professor Umbridge is quite damaged as a person," he added. "She basically abuses Harry and puts him through this horrific detention. It is horrific abuse."

I must say, i agree with him on Umbridge.

^yeah, i agree with you the sixth book is the most emotional.

Blackened 01-15-2007 03:32 AM

I'll go with Yates on this one. HBP was definitely enticing, but OOTP puts the most emphasis on the psychology of the characters, on Harry's relationships with those who surround him, and it's also the book where we finally see Harry sort of 'get in touch' with his emotions, be they 'pretty' or not. ^_^

i agree with yates on umbridge and that OotP is the most emotional as well. :yes:

ilovehermione244 01-15-2007 05:03 AM

He's right.

potion brewer 01-15-2007 05:36 AM

agree with him on umbridge and the book!

Eclipsed 01-15-2007 06:03 AM

I totally agree with him about the book and Umbridge.

Hermionespell 01-15-2007 11:57 AM

Hah, yeah, the detentions are quite horrible. But they would have even more of an impact if you had kept the words that he carved into the back of his hand like they had been written!

Darlinga 01-15-2007 12:36 PM

Hopefully he meant "to date" when he said most emotional. Each book has gotten deeper and thus more emotional. He may not even have read HBP, to aviod the possibility of something from a future book comming into play too early.

bazla 01-15-2007 01:11 PM

i agree wit him about umbridge and OOTP being the most emotional of all books

Wayfarer 01-15-2007 03:29 PM

I think both OotP and HBP are very political. Both are good examples of the goverment sticking it's head in the sand or being totally lost.

Dasha 01-15-2007 03:39 PM

I think the HBP is the most emotional but OotP has more dark sort of parts like the detention with umbrige (imagine a bunch of little kids watching it and going around carving things into their hand... a serious hazard)

Painting_the_Silence 01-15-2007 04:25 PM

I agree with him on Umbridge...

nicola calvert 01-15-2007 04:34 PM

O: When people say ridiculously asinine things like that I really get peeved. My sock drawer has politics ... just because Ootp is the most overtly political of the books doesn't mean the others aren't ... :faint: seriously, then they go acting like politics is something you have to go looking for ... only in films you dork. <_<

T: You're still just miffed Rupert won't be playing Quidditch right?

O: And how!!!!!!!!!11111111 You wanna see politics
*moons the director*

Rebel 01-15-2007 05:36 PM

I agree on everything that he says...this is the most dark and horified book...next to the HBP :shifty:

hermia123 01-15-2007 06:04 PM

miss weasley 01-15-2007 06:18 PM

lol You really are my mummy, Chris. XD I agree with what you said *nods*
In the other books Harry doesn't actually feel things as deeply as in OotP :yes: It's really good to see how he reacts towards some things that happen around him. I can't wait to see how this will turn out in the film ^_^

GinnyWeasley07 01-15-2007 09:30 PM

I agree with him on umbridge being horrid, but we dont know what's coming in the final book yet-and that one will be beyond emotional, especiallly since it will be the last-snif snif

i totally agree with ottery!

prettyinpink 01-15-2007 09:32 PM

I totally agree!

Zoe 01-15-2007 09:40 PM

I agree with everything Yates says. I can't wait for OotP!
