Okay, so I'm watching PoA and I notice something. Never do they say that Lupin, Sirius, or James are Moony, Padfoot, or Prongs. I find this very odd. Does Harry know in the movies or not? And if they have said it in the movies, can you please tell me what part? Very curious.

It was never mentioned in the movies but hearing Voldemort refer to Peter Pettigrew as "Wormtail" in GOF, it was easy for me to figure out which were Mooney, Padfoot, and Prongs. Mooney would be Lupin since he turns into a werewolf at the site of a full moon and I looked up the word "Pad" on the dictionary and it states that its the "fleshy underside of the end of a finger or toe". Dogs have padfoots and since we see Sirius turn himself into a dog, that makes him Padfoot which leaves James Potter as Prongs.

OK... I am very curious as to why James was called Prongs. We do not know what he did to earn all the Gold Harry had been left. I'm going to research 'Prongs'... I might come up with somthing VERY exciting and relevant... Can someone help me please? We might find out more about james...

Very Relevant, Thanks.

I'm guessing they thought you'd've known who they were already..

Most fans who already know what's going on See the Movies, not people trying to understand everything for the first time..

oh I have always known their nicknames... I have just never thought about it much

Well, to the average person who never read the books, it must be much confusing. To us people it isn't because we basically know the books back to front (and yet we still don't know them that well). As to the why James is Prongs, yes, that is very interesting question. Research it. And I think the director or screenwriter is asking a bit much to ask the audience to piece Moony with Lupin, Prongs with James, and Sirius with Padfoot.

Kinda easy to figure out tho whos who with out reading the books cuz Lupin becomes werewolf Sirius in to a dog So on not overly hard to figure

I'm serious, who teaches that in school? What kind of vocabulary do you have?! No, but seriously. They barely say the names enough to put the connections on who is who.

james is called prongs cause his animiagus was a deer with ANTLERS!!! can't you put that connections together?? DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not all people know what the **** prongs are! Use your brains. People who have only seen it once, who would be able to make the connection right away? They don't know the characters that well for that.

that's also why harry's patronus is a deer, because that was his dad's animiagus form...

... Who could have put that together! They never even said that his animiagus form was a deer!

everyone has their own special patronus form, i don't know why hermione's is an otter, but i know that harry's is a deer or buck or whatever animal his dad turned into because of voldemort killing his dad b4 he even knew him. and patronuses can change like tonks did when she was in love with lupin but he said they couldn't be together, remember???

Yes yes yes. patronuses are all nice and all. And just showing that it could just be a coincidence that Harry's patronus is what it is. They never say that James ever was an animagus at all!

yes they do!!! they say it cause they explain that they needed him to hold lupin back so that wormtail could hit the womping willow tree root to freeze him and get lupin to the shreiking shack. don't you remember?? it was in the books and the movie!! duh!!! are you that clueless??

No, but you clearly seem to be respectless...

no offence, but it is just a little cat room, so no need to be that way, and i just asked if they were clueless, i never said they were, and it kind of is really obvious so...

What's obvious is your lack of grammatical knowledge.

no offence, but i am using im language so...

I'm aware. But this isn't Instant Messageing. It's a forum. Forums (surprisingly enough) are designed for intellegent conversation. Not meaningless unfathomable babble.

wow, you have a big vocabulary...

Thank you.

Ok, I KNOW ITS IN THE BOOK! I'M TALKING MOVIE! I want a quote from the movie. Got one? Go ahead, go search. I have time. NEVER HAS IT BEEN SAID IN THE MOVIE!

Phantom, please no yelling.

i'm not going to quote the movie when knowing it's in the book should be enough

But he's talking about them movie. This thread is about the movie...not the book. Therefore, we (for the sake of greater knowledge) will pretend we never read the books, and only saw the movies.

but why???

... Because that is the point of this thread! How can people who never read the books put the connections together. I know its in the books, but they never said it in the movie. I find it a mistake.

i thought they did say it in the movie, when sirius was talking to harry???

Because it's an original thread. If you ever come up with an original thread, we will respect your idea. So respect his ideas, try to give/obtain knowledge, and create an ORIGINAL thread of your own.

He never said he was Padfoot, Lupin was Moony, or James was Prongs. Niether did theys say James was an animagus. So really, in the movies, Harry is pretty much blind of a lot of things of his father.

i'm sorry i thought it said it in the movie, my mistake

watch the movie again and make sure you watch it properly because it has been mentioned I am 100per.sure

I think not KMC most likely has the biggest Harry Potter forum on the net (not counting forums made specifically for Potter). Not everyone who watches the movies have read the books. Most of the people I know have seen the movies but haven't read the books.
But Phamtom, I don't really think most of them notice or care. At least not my friends anyway.

.....looking at the previous page...evryone was saying harrys patronus is a deer....which it is clealy not it is a "Stag".... which throws out the obviousness of the name prongs...because of the antlers...mentioned by d-flygirl

Seriously, you have to think about it after watching the movies to get it if you never read the books. Just because you guys get it like that doesn't mean other people will. Why? Because not everyone has read the books. Case closed. They didn't announce it, they should've announced it for all the people who don't read, but didn't and thus I am giving them a lower rating for carelessness for viewers.

Yeah i noticed that when it first came out in cinemas. IMO it's one of the many reasons why that movie sucked

never say that in the movie. This is a big mistake of the director for not inclued this important words in the script.

In OOTP is the flash back with young Sirius,James,Remus and Peter and I'm sure that the screenwriter with work that in there somehow....

yes but in POA there was to much story to include it in the movie.
I think that if they have the young Marauder's refering to eachother as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs sometime in the one of the memories hopefully the audience(whom haven't read the books), will make the connection
