Name a more powerful scene in cinema history.
Pro-tip: you can't. Sorry, filmbros, but a franchise movie has you beat here.

they chose the worst possible way to direct this scene without the use of the narration/internal dialogue of the books.
>blurry outline of some guy, i guess
>several scenes later
>"it was my dad! i swear!"
>oh i guess it was his dad?
just have it either
>a) be the actor who played his dad, or cast a lookalike
or
>b) "dad?"
Don't forget they intentionally misdirect with it being completely silent, yet when he runs up and does the spell the second time he screams the spell name at the top of his lungs.
The whole wide world of magical duels at their fingertips and the filmmakers settled on most of them being lame beam shove-of-wars.
if only there was a century of cinema that had perfected scenes of two characters duelling with projectile weapons
To be fair for some stupid reason Rowling wrote most of the fights that way even in the books. The only kino magic fight was between Dumbledore and Voldemort. Big wasted potential.
Not being sexist but maybe women in general aren't imaginative and descriptive in that specific way, and she's a prime example. Or maybe she didn't think it was important to the story and the filmmakers had to make do with what they could.
as a child i dismissed so much of it as "well, they're children's books".
as an adult i still think they're charming and actually well-written, but she had no clue what she was doing.
really don't buy the newer excuses she's come up with. do you know that the whole Quidditch rules, "the Golden Snitch wins the match" thing is supposed to be wrong on purpose? it irritates men: she was going through a break-up and wanted to wind them up! haha.
But the golden snitch only grants 150 points if I remember correctly, you can find the golden snitch and still lose the match if the other team has more points, the snitch just ends the game right there.
yep and eventually there's some historic game where this happened. "but then why would you ever catch the Snitch?" because that game went on comically long, doho.
obvious fix is there's a time limit and catching the Snitch is rare. in practice, it's the only thing that matters.
fortunately girls never care about sports or rules or, i don't know, fantasy fiction.
My testosterone feels lower for being involved in this exchange. Imma go break something and fuck something, possibly not in that order.
In The Goblet of Fire (book), Bulgaria is getting thrashed by Ireland 170-10 at the World Cup. Krum pursues the Snitch to put his team out of their misery and give them a less humiliating defeat (170-160, but if the Irish seeker caught the Snitch it would have been 320-10).
does the World Cup even go off points like the FIFA World Cup? i am 100% certain she just wanted to write "an example" to prove it was justasplanned.jpg. at no point has she ever said anything like "oh yes that was an error."
hell, it happens early on with Sirius Black. named in the first book by Hagrid, when he's later introduced Hagrid says "cor blimey i sure was being a dumbo back when i mentioned him then! that's why i said what i did!"
(in real life she's an author writing sequels, her ideas and characters naturally changed over time. publish a new edition if you feel that insecure about it, like Tolkien did with The Hobbit.)
ACCIO! INCENDIO! DEPULSO! LEVIOSO! FLIPENDO! DESCENDO! CONFRINGO!
Been playing Legacy of chudseethe I see
>Every time wizards are fighting
>Shoot little bolts at each other
>Every single time Harry fights voldemort
>Dragonball z beam battle
Why? What are they even casting? Avada is supposed to be unblockable.
Imagine unironically suggesting this. Imagine actually thinking this.
Imagine being a kid again.
Imagine this guy going back.
Kino
He is literally me
>I knew I could do it because I already saw do it before
>does that make sense?
>no
Damn, so Harry and Hermione in the movie admit this scene makes no sense?
>Weasley twins set up a cheeky illusio charm of Harry flying off a cliff
>he actually does it the absolute madman
I'm convinced it's the same autist spamming harry potter threads every day.
I'll ask this again.
Why was the Half Blood Prince even a movie? Literally 2-5 minutes of the entire film have any sort of relevancy.
If you take away -
>30 second memory of Voldemort asking about Hocrux
>Snape killing Dumbledor
The movie has no reason to exist. Why not just put those scenes at the end of Order of the Phoenix? Another film completely lacking in relevant events, although not to the same degree.
It's not even interesting. 90% of the film is terribly written teen romance. The rest (that I haven't already mentioned) is about how I'm supposed to give a fuck about who the "half blood prince" is. Why am I supposed to care that Snape is the half blood prince? It's completely irrelevant. it could have been any other character in the franchise and it wouldn't have changed the story at all. If it's just supposed to be "he's not a pureblood" reveal, again, why am I supposed to care and how is it relevant? Being a half blood isn't some epic hint that Snape isn't a bad guy, like I assume it's supposed to be. There are plenty of half bloods who follow Voldemort. Voldemort himself is a half blood.
It's a mystery series, and the book is much better. It's about setting up Snape's character as more complex than he had been in the previous books, both introducing his past and Voldemort's.
In the movies they kind of miss the point. Try reading the books sometime, they've aged well.
Do you have any issues about the time travel in this
