    Cuaron ruined the entire series. By letting the kids dress in regular clothes, he introduced product placement, making things less magical
    Also, by using a real castle, he made things less magical
    The singing frogs and shrunken head he added were lame

          Azkaban had a lot of decent Noir and Batman-tier ideas in it, but from how much I remember the Dementors only had a total of 3 scenes in it (4 if we count the time travel one). Sirius was a red herring that only appeared at the end when he clearly shouldn't had been. Part 3 was the beginning of the end with "let's cram all the good parts at the end". I genuinely don't remember much from Hp3 ... right 5 scenes with the dementors, I completely forgot about the quidditch match because you know why? they completely skipped it. Harry just runs into a storm of dementors and comes out falling from the sky. Absolutely no cool air fight, no dodging, no cool HowToTrainYourDragon tier 3D flight sequences like the first and second movie.

          Then they shoved that bullshit with Ron's rat was a murderer all along to try to replicate HP1 and HP2's red herring which clearly did not work as well as the previous movies. Then in movie 5 Voldermort's followers downright emulate the dementors' powers which was also moronic.
          Sirius should had just been a lieutenant like Quirrel another way for Voldermort to come back, this time with an army of grim reapers at his disposal. Much comfier, simpler, effective than that "a nothing burger" that happened, especially with the Marauder's map? what was the point of the map? I know they tried to replicate the invisibility cloak scenes in HP1 but they fricked that up too.

            The dementors were extremely hard to do because most of it was practical effects, the other movies could afford to overuse them because they were CGI shit.

                Apparently they recorded the cloaks underwater and then inserted them into the scenes, the only digital parts were the hands and the mouths.

                The scene in which Harry blows up Marge is also entirely practical with the exception of the ceiling, the actress had several different suits with different levels of inflaiton and they changed them between takes, then she was lifted with cables.

                The Monster Book is another practical prop, I think it was animatronic.

                This is the main reason PoA was the one film in the series that took two years to come out.

      In Prisoner of Azkaban kids from magical backgrounds keep wearing their wonky handmade clothes (Like Ron and Neville's horrendous knit sweaters or Draco and his tailored shirts), it's only kids from muggle backgrounds like Hermione and Harry who wear modern street clothes, which makes perfect sense given their cultural upbringing, it wasn't until Goblet of fire that everyone started wearing regular muggle clothing, tough in Ron's case you could argue it was because of Harry and Hermione's influence.

        The 5th movie/book was complete unsalvageable garbage. You have to remove the annoying communist character to save it which means rewriting everything. Who the frick keeps thinking these characters are interesting and good? The point of making them so annoying and hateable is to make them punching bags, but if you only punch them at the last minute then you wasted everything. They're suppose to be undermined, insulted, beaten to a pulp, spat on, treated like a buttmonkey throughout the movie without destroying your story and characters for them. The moment your story revolves around this annoying piece of shit as an obstacle is the moment you need to rewrite everything from the groundup. Frick Lizzie Devine, frick PollyMcShane, frick Elmyra, frick this entire archetype of annoying sociopathic c**ts. Whoever came up with this archetype and their "don't touch it" execution must had been a israelite. It's like a super bully character like Harr's step brother and Malfoy except executed without any of the "Just punch the fricking idiot in the mouth and be done with it"

          To me the fifth book was the make-it-or-break-it point for the series, with Voldemort fully revived and instantly starting to round up the death eaters, it was the moment for the Malfoys to have much more protagonism and for Draco to begin to switch sides, but Rowling, being the inept writer she is, just kept the status quo to the bitter end.

          In reality, Rowling's stupid choices can be felt from the first book, when she clearly designed Hermione to be a know-it-all Ravenclaw and Ron a supportive Hufflepuff, but then because she couldn't be bothered to think about reasons why they would hang out with Harry she just shoved them into the same house, having one hero from each house would have been far more effective at delivering the message of unity and equality than having every single important character be a Griffindor and just peppering the background with pointless characters from other houses.

              Umbridge, along with Fudge was, supposed to represent the obtrusive bureaucracy that doesn't have evil intentions but gets in the way of the problem being solved so they inadvertedly help it fester, to be perfectly honest I'm fine with how she was depicted in year 5, the problem came in year 7 when she was suddenly torturing half witches, I know she was just trying to secure her position in the new regime but it doesn't match her crazy cultish fanaticism of Fudge in year 5.

    The plot of them having to recreate everything they already did once they went back in time was so silly. What would happen if they did a single thing different from before, would their memory instantly change as well or would it be more of an 'alternate universe' type approach where they would then be in a slightly different timeline?

    • 2 years ago
      Anonymous

      They weren't trying to recreate what happened, it's just that the single timeline that they lived through already had the changes they were going to apply applied to it. i.e. there never was a timeline where they didn't travel back in time, which is how they were able to save their own lives.

      The director is an idiot. All he manages to do was good lighting so you can almost understand what's going on, but dear god he cannot do combat worth a shit.

      >Everyone just sitting there like morons not using their wands, leaving a fricking dog(Sirius) to do the fighting for them.

      Also Snape's parts if they were handled by the first director would had been handled more comedically and cliche. Something like...
      the camera cuts to Snape with the giant fricking werewolf behind them then to the kids' reaction then back to Snape.
      Snape starts berating them about not leaving the castle at night because it's dangerous and how they're in so much trouble and is ready to expel them.
      Then here they can either do 2 actions
      1) A) The werewolf beats the shit out of him B) runs him off C) Snape is efficient at battling the werewolf D) the werewolf punches him and knocks him unconscious
      2) Snape talks about Lupin, berates Lupin and how he's a werewolf and he says "... he's right behind me isn't he?" or B) he doesn't know he's a werewolf but he still insults him together with Harry calling them both irresponsible morons and the werewolf takes it personally.
      Would had been just as cliche and goofy as the troll scene and the spider scene.

        The spider scene wasn't goofy, but it was cliche. That typical "Thanks for the chat, we'll be going now" "Oh where's the rush, won't you be staying for dinner?" Aragog was an butthole. Also wasn't Aragog suppose to be a female, why did they give her a male voice?

        The Last Airbender was more mature by making Koh the facestealer not start a fight with the avatar, but still trying to steal his face in a passive way.
