best book but worst movie
Inverse of Prisoner of Azkaban
>caring about the relative qualities of the movies in Mid:A Film Series
the fact that the time-travel one is viewed as the best says it all, really.
The sad thing is that the time travel in PoA was executed about as well as it could have been in the confines of its own story but has hilariously moronic implications when you factor it into the rest of the franchise
Sup plotgay
at least it's unintentionally funny
The scene where Neville turns to the camera and goes "Oh my god, I've killed Harry Potter!!!" is genuinely probably the worst scene in the entire franchise. Embarrassingly bad, I feel bad for the director for having his name attached to such a shitty scene.
I think the entire movie feels about as goofy as that scene
Yeah, honestly, it's tonally very poorly executed because it's such a silly movie but then the graveyard scene is supposed to be like real serious shit.
Emma's buds in my hands
MAH BOIIIIIIII
The first two movies I found to be the best of the franchise. Comfy kids movies focused around the world of magic.
How long until we can use AI to:
1) rewrite books 4-7 as Rowling would have done if she never got famous
2) re-direct all the movies in the style of Chris Columbus
>1) rewrite books 4-7 as Rowling would have done if she never got famous
What happened after book 3?
It was weird, she wanted to do a gradual role reversal where Harry and Draco swapped places. Harry would succumb to his horcrux's influence over time, while Draco would find redemption as his family began losing its wealth and power.
Same plotline as Nuwars was obviously setting up to follow until Rian Johnson fricked it
She had written 1-3 before 1 took off in popularity. The later books were heavily influenced by the studio.
5 years barring some catastrophe (likely) or government intervention on behalf of major IP holders (even more likely)
That said, I have high hopes.
It's probably already been done in the mountain of fanfiction this series has accumulated.
the first 2 movies are some of the best fantasy/kids movies ever made period. so sad that the movies blew up so huge they had to go for the blockbuster npc audience.
THERE'S NO ONE LIKE KRUM
VICTOR I LOVE YOU

I wish magic was real.
Oddly enough, it’s actually the best book. It’s the longest book but the shortest movie, it should have been a two-parter.
pretty sure order of the phoenix is the longest book and the movie feels the most cut down because of that
Order of the Phoenix is both moron
cutting out the quidditch world cup match is a travesty
Why?
It kills me that we don't even see 1 game. Not even the finals or anything. It's like "Hey Harry this is a thing!.... whelp cut to it being over now!"
Goblet of Fire was Rowling's first big attempt at adding more flavor to the world and the movie cut it all out.
>Any person can just drink a potion to turn into another person and walk into Hogwarts
>What's that? a ceiling that's supposed to go crazy when an intruder enters Hogwarts suddenly goes crazy when Moody enters Hogwarts? Must just be malfunctioning hehe
>He's constnatly drinking some suspicious potion? Well no way it could be a polyjuice potion!
>Hmm I have to somehow teleport Harry Potter to Voldemort. I could just turn his toothbrush or his shoe or his book into the portkey, cause he's definitely going to touch those objects at some point. No wait, I'll turn the trophy of the Tri-Wizard tournament, the hardest tournament to win that there is into the portkey, so that he first has to not only survive it but then also win the whole thing, conveniently forcing the entire plot of this story!
I think portkeys don't normally work at hogwarts but there was an exception made for the triwizard cup which was already a portkey
>ceiling that's supposed to go crazy when an intruder enters Hogwarts
what? i don't remember that
i never watched the movies
in the books the same thing happens? i don't remember it
yes it's a ceiling that goes crazy whenever someone who isnt supposed to enter enters
also it was done by Rowling to foreshadow that something is wrong with Moody, but of course being a woman she doesnt realize how fricking moronic that makes everything if nobody cares
Wizards are incapable of running their own affairs. Without the entire muggle economy propping them up they'd die in a gutter. It's no coincidence their society is run by a mere Minister of Magic, who obviously reports to the PM.
Alastor Moody characterization is superb
exactly how i imagined in the books
THATS MY WIFES SOOONNNNN
THATS HER BOOOOOOYYYY
any of you homosexuals that were sporting the 'shag' haricut during this time needs to be culled out of society
Only God tier memes come from Goblet of Fire
>Help help, Cedric is dead, anyone seen Cho?
>'ello Fatha
>the Chinese Fireball, OOOHHH
>"HARRRYDIDAYAPUTYANAMEINDAGOBLETOFFIYAH!!?"
>THATS MY BOOOYYYY
>Barty Crouch!..........…………… Junior!
>one of the worst books
>one of the best later era movies
Who honestly really enjoyed the Degrassi tier teenage drama shit and Harry reading a journal?
Half Blood Prince is widely regarded as the best book homosexual
Absolutely not, the book ranking is
4>3>5>6>7>2>1
>LE BIG GREEN MONSTER
nah read that shit when I was 16 and thought it was worse than Order of the Phoenix by leaps and bounds
Are you thinking of Chamber of Secrets? Stupid homosexual
no he's talking about harry's lust for ginny being imagined as a monster, and he's right, it was cringe
No he wasn't he was thinking of an entirely different movie
he wasn't talking about a movie, Black person
no, you should read the book again
Reading is for nerds
>still believing in the israeli "Chad/Nerd" dichotomy and not being /fitlit/
ngmi
>every scene ends in a joke where Jim looks at the camera and says something witty
Hated it, turned it off
Best book, one of the weakest films tbf
absolutely not
goblet is still alright
order of the phoenix and half blood prince are HORRIBLE
fricking marvel quipping look at the camera one liner fricking shit
soulless
Indeed the quality drop was quite significant, you could even say it was the dullest installment of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
this fricking queer is the reason i never finished the series
half blood prince was so fricking sterile and unfunny that i turned it off before the end even though its my favorite book in the series besides the first one
Wrong. HP is a surprisingly consistent series, and there's not a bad movie in it. Of course the losers on this board like the first two the most because it reminds them of childhood when their lives weren't so pathetic and sad
It is just a fact that as time goes on there are more and more plot contrivances so that magic that solved problems in earlier stories cannot invalidate new stories.
You're fooling yourself if you think the first two aren't also filled with plot contrivances
The first one is completely fine because the magic is new and the protagonists are inexperienced. Every subsequent film requires you to forget more for them to function.
Magic without rules is dumb.
Magic with rules is autistic D&D wankery
Real magic has rules.
Damn, I guess there's no real magic in Tolkien's Legendarium then
These digits are magic
No because LotR is cryptocathocuck shit. It's all the power of Eru Iluvatar.
Nitpicking
"Rarely, God intervenes" is loose but at least it is a rule and better than "anyone can do anything with the only limit being your memory" and then cutting people off by repeating "huh? huh? huh?" whenever they ask about a spell that was in a previous movie that would probably fix everything now.
"Rarely, God intervenes" still doesn't explain the magical powers of any of the wizards or sauron or the elves or the silmarils or morgoth. And for that matter "people who die cannot be brought fully back to life" is also a rule in the Harry Potter universe
That’s one very general rule and the series revolves around a boy who magically cheats death anyways. HP magic is adhoc.
Nitpicking again. It's a very specific rule and the idea of death is the bedrock of the entire series.
Wasn't there even a time travel episode? That's like some star trek voyager shit.
Harry's aunt and his mum were sisters yeah?
Well once they started doing flashbacks they should have revealed that Harry's aunt also attended Hogwarts but flunked because she turned out to be without talent. Would have added more depth to her hating magic.
for me it's harry potter and the spellbook of desires
For me, it's the Methods of Rationality
How is it possible to be that fat and still have stick arms?
It's called "Metabolic Disprivilege"
Look it up.
I tried reading that but all the random anime references were really cringey
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
gays who unironically read the b***he's books are still assblasted by based Mike Newell. Goblet is the best Potter movie by far.
>based Mike Newell.
If he was really that based he would have been part of the dullest pasta, like Armond White and Harold Bloom
