The ULTIMATE Harry Potter Social Network

I had a moment last night while watching SS and GoF.

Where did the ghosts go?
I know they are heavily in the first 2, and like once in 3& 4 but you never see nick again unless, i'm going crazy, just an observation, but what does anyone else think?

You see nick in book 5 when Harry asks him where dead people go and the gray lady is a big chracter in book 7
oh, i know that, sorry, i ment the movies
I think that with how much more starts happening in the books after book 2, they decided that the ghosts weren't important enough to include in the movies.
yeah, i figured, but it's still so sad :(

they should atleast have them in the background if nothing else
I'm not sure how the ghosts are done, but visual effects can really raise the price of the movie. Because they're not crucial to the plot and the movies haven't been as true to the books since the first two films, they've probably been cut because the movies are expensive enough to produce -- think of the trio's salaries!
I wouldn't be surprised if the ghosts show up in the sixth film, just as a reminder -- because they are so important in the seventh book, and it's the last change for the filmmakers to do so before the end of DH.
The ghosts are always present, but because they do not move the plot along, they are just not mentioned. In crowd scenes, not everyone presant is named. I think of the ghosts as silent observers. They also might have a favorite part of the castle, (Myrtle and her U-bend) which they spend time in doing whatever they want to occupy thier time.
it's sad that myrtle isn't in HBP, was looking forward to that, but yeah they can't mess up DH by not putting them in
Hopefully, we will see a little more of them. It is quite fun reading about the students interacting with ghosts because it is common place for them, but not so with us muggles.
Different directors just want different things, and the ones that don't feel them essential to the story just cut them to make the workload easier, though I have to say that I would like to see them again. ^^
Yeah. I REALLY hope that they don't exclude them from DH! Especially the Gray Lady because who she is (or her background) is somewhat important to that book.
Maybe it's just expensive to add ghosts... IDK, they aren't that important except for Nick and the Grey Lady.
Peaves is not a ghost, I loved the ghosts popping up everywhere!
