in my last comment i forgot to mention the high expectation’s i had for the movie.
All the great literature and morale and beauty in books is sometimes obstructed and the charcters become 2-D, thier not as real, and thier for, the movie isn’t as good. i feel this has been hapening to Harry Potter, but i’m confident that the cast can transfer the complicated fictional characters’ personality to the movie, and make it shine

Oh I forgot to say that I am a 12 year old who loves these books, so don’t think my deep sadness will stop me from seeing this should-be-awesome movie. I hope to see it opening night. Let’s just hope the other 2 books become movies too.

Haha, looking at the lovely comments posted 12 year olds above, I thought I’d shoutout that I’m a 20 year old who read the series when I was 12, and I think it’s a testament to the suject material that I’m just as passionate about the series now as I was 8 years ago.

I am a twelve-year-old, like many of them. I’m serious, though. This is a recreation of Milton’s Paradise Lost, in many ways more than one. I like this trilogy because it gives you a deeper understanding about the universe and the world. This is so complex on many different levels, from characters to the plot to descriptons and details to etc.
I hope that the next two become movies too! But the movies will be hard to make, since it is such a complex story.
I didn’t read this until recently, because I was only eight when my sister gave them to me and I had absolutely no interest in them until now, and when I read it, I was like, “Wow.” -

And this should beat Harry Potter by a long shot, since it is so complex and convoluted and rich and has many levels of understanding, from the plot to characters to the whole world’s workings.

What is it and most everyone reading the books when they’re twelve?! I was twelve when I read it! >.
This trilogy is my farorite ever!!!!!!!!! I respect the storie for being so realistic, that Will and Lyra have to be sepret and locked away in thier ow nuniverses, and the writing was beutuful. I want the whole cast and crew to read the whole trilogy.
Anyway, I almost screamed in the middle of the movie theater when i saw the ad, i think the golden compass beats harry potter, and i think you’ll do great Dakota.
There was a book with a similer cover page, exept the girk was about 17. it was very good too, good writinglike “his dark materials”. I’m so exited my hands are shaking. I’m not one of those finatics who would pat $400 for For a kleenex you used or whatever, but i’m a big fan of great literature, especialy fiction with a morale about loyaly or morlity in general, and that admit that life isn’t the lvely fantacy that we try to mold in people’s head by oppressing thier thought’s.
You probably think i’m just you’re you’re averge creepy over obssed 12-year old, but donj’t worry, i work on a cycle. it’ll wear off in a couple of days, only to sart up again in a few more.
Buh bye!!!!
