How did Slytherin ever get into the position to win the house cup anyway? Gryffindors are always bossing sports, Ravenclaws are super intelligent nerds, Hufflepuff are the good two-shoes getting points for being so good.
How? Slytherin is full of delinquents who probably all bludge class to do meth in their Aryan clubs.
>>70733719
Literally the only Slytherin teacher anyway, he'd have to deduct like 500 points per potions class.
'>Correct Ms. Granger, but in Slytherin house we wouldn't let a nigger like yourself yell out in answer, 420 points from every member of Gryffindor in this class
>>70733391
Not to play armchair writer, but if I wrote Harry Potter ideally you would have four leads, one of each house, and they represent the ideals of those houses and clash and come together over the course of however many books. It makes more sense to me at least than the house of the heroes is the good guys and there's a whole house of evil wizards in training. It also devalues the other houses because who cares about them? They aren't important.
>>70732772
I know it's funny to make it sound like Dumbledore was fucking over Slytherin but I realised recently that really he was sort of returning it to how it should have gone. The only reason Gryffindor lost is because of bullshit reasons. Like the trio trying to help Hagrid fix a huge mistake of his, and losing the Quidditch Cup (worth a buttload of points) because Harry was busy dealing with Voldemort.
Gryffindor were the rightful winners.

>ideally you would have four leads, one of each house, and they represent the ideals of those houses and clash and come together over the course of however many books
That actually sounds really cool. Although there is an appeal in how Rowling did it. By the main characters all being in the house it gave the reader that sort of comfy camaraderie with Gryffindor. I think for kids there's something very appealing about imagining themselves chilling by the fire in the common room, having a laugh with their friends. You'd lose that if you spread the narration amongst all the houses like that.
At the last there should have been significant secondary characters from each house. We only really have Malfoy. And I guess Luna, but she was a bit of a late addition.
Yes, Yes. Well done, students. Well done, students.
>However
>>70732804
fuck. literally spat out my drink
>>70734100
I think the camaraderie could be done with a club all the characters belong to, or maybe a common parlor area where the houses fraternize. But I understand what you mean. I think a long time ago I just realized I grew out of enjoying the series, but I think the appeal for kids is still there and maybe it's better as is. I'm not sure it would have been the sensation it was if it made you think and question yourself or really delve into adult stuff kids wouldn't get.
>>70733389
Snape was just countering Dumbledore's bullshit.
Yes, Yes. Well done, Krum. Well done, Krum.

>>70734278

>>70734278

>>70734318

However
>Having a house whose "special characteristic" is being evil
Why the fuck would they bother
>>70734218
>I think the camaraderie could be done with a club all the characters belong to
Yeah, that worked pretty well with Dumbledore's Army. But if it was sort of like that from the start of the series it would really blur the lines between the houses to the extent where they're almost pointless. I think the simplicity of the system definitely did the series some favours and made it more likable to younger kids. You can easily sum up the houses. Ravenclaw's the nerds, Griffindor's the cool/brave kids, Slytherin is the naughty kids, and Hufflepuff are the literal who's.
Rowling probably should have put more effort into breaking the boundaries between the houses as the series progressed though. Especially with the War looming, there was so much emphasis on unity, maybe the characters should have actively started rejecting the false division of the houses. Who knows. I still like it and plan on re-reading them soon.
>>70733861
Apparently this was the plan in the first place. Harry was Gryffindor, Hermione was Ravenclaw, Ron was Hufflepuff, and Draco was Slytherin. Sounds like it would've been harder for the trio to interact though.
>>70734393
She had ample room to give Draco a redemption arc, but chose not to because so many fans wanted it, and she didn't want to pander, I guess.
>>70734393
Well cedric was a bro and luna and later draco doesn't rat harry out
>>70734417
Plus I think ron and hermione exhibited gryfinndor traits. They broke the rules and did so to help out and help the school out
>>70734392
it was just a prank
>>70732885
>not just throwing all new Slytherines into the lake immediately after the sorting hat ceremony
Would never get away with it. 1/4 of students being Slytherins likely means 1/4 of the British Isles' wizard population are Slytherin graduates who would say things like "Well I don't support what Voldemort did, but SOMEONE had to do something about all those damned mudbloods" And those of them like Lucius Malfoy took an active role in pressing for school policy, and was able to do it sometimes.
Yes, Yes. Well done, Harry. Well done, Harry.
However.
Water
>>70732772
dumbleposting is quickly becoming a favorite meme of mine
>>70734392
Their 'special characteristic' is that the trait they value most is ambition, or something like that. It just happens that the majority of people who seek power are assholes.
>>70734424
>>70734425
I meant on a bigger scale. The houses are always pitted against each other with the point system and the quidditch matches, and they hang out in rooms that nobody from the other houses is even allowed to enter. It could have been interesting if in the later books the kids were like, fuck this, we're going to be fighting side-by-side in a war soon. And started finding new places to hang out together or protesting the point system or something. I dunno. I literally only just thought of it, so it might be a shit idea. Especially since most kids were flat-out denying the impending war.
>>70734392
it was to show that in the real world, even assholes are needed.
>>70734331
Nah she didn't. Didnt get fucked til the next year
>>70734449
Well yeah, I think the way the sorting worked is it considered what ideals you value most, not necessarily what ones you possess. Hence why bumbling Neville only really displayed griffindor traits when he grew up.
>>70732772
>Every day until you like it!
sage goes into all fields
>>70734509
this is a good one, thanks!
>>70734534
The sorting hat's a drunk anyway, rarely do the characteristics of the person actually match the house
James Potter was a fucking asshole, he totally should have been either in Slytherin for his lack of empathy or Ravenclaw for being a smartass. There was nothing courageous or moral about him, he was just kind of a douche
>>70733055
>Americans can't into obscure public school systems of reward and oppression where the real reward is a life of competitiveness on an almost sociopathic level
>>70732804
Fuck got me good there.
>>70734579
The meme took off
>>70734630
That's because it's about what ideals you value, more than what ones you have. James was a super asshole though. Why did Harry even name his kid after him. Most the people Harry named his kid after were assholes, actually.
Yes, yes, well done, Slytherin. Well done, Slytherin.
HOWEVER since Voldermort's daughter tried to travel back in time to kill Harry Potter while his son and his dumbass friend did other bullshit time travel things, I must take about 69,420 points.
"You motherfuckers!"

I would seriously pay to see a parody based on my immortal
>>70734717
Ignore it
>>70734715
Looking back I think that was one of my favorite elements of the books
having never met them, Harry idolized his parents and put them on a pedestal. To an extent, Lily lived up to that standard. But as Harry got older, the penseive revealed that his father wasn't so great after all, and forced him to come to terms with the fact that his father probably wasn't actually all that great, wasn't the hero he thought he was.
Save that Harry doesn't seem to take that whole lesson to heart. Like you said he still names his kid after him, and in the books there isn't an explicit moment where Harry notes on his dad sucking, its just an unpleasant reality he has to deal with.

You're a pleb l. I can appreciate both. The first two books are literally kiddie shit. Sirius dying hogwarts being orwellian harry getting mindfucked. Dumbledore dying literaly deathly hallows and soul splitting kind if kends itself to be adapted as such. Witchcraft you know can be dark. You have bad taste cuarons and yates and pure kino
>>70734932
They weren't banished they were literally getting arrested and shit.
>>70734966
use some commas, dumb kinoposter
>>70734932
iirc the fat dude got arrested after being pulled over by the cops and they found a shit ton of drugs in the back of his car.
>>70734888
They didn't get how to transition from the Prisoner of Azkaban tone, which was quite fitting for the story, to the Goblet of Fire tone, which was horribly forced in the movie, and sucked all the fun out of the story.
>>70734488
>Would never get away with it.
They have school records right? Kill every Slytherin who graduated, and then add an axe blade to the Sorting Hat so that if it says Slytherin you get the chop immediately.
>>70734993
I do, I just didn't there
>>70734835
I think that was good too. Rowling could have easily played it safe but she had these moments where she added these awful characteristics to the "good guys". I think Dumbledore's an even better example of it. For 6 books he's seen as this noble figure, strong and powerful and extremely moral. And then after he's dead his name is dragged through the mud when it's revealed that he used to be a mega asshole, neglected his family that needed him, and inadvertently caused the death of his sister. Not to mention he uses Harry like a pawn in a game.
The fact that Harry still names his kids after these assholes does feel realistic, because despite their glaring flaws he still sees them as heroes in his head. But I think most readers don't see anything wrong with that, and they think that those characters genuinely deserve the respect. Actually, I don't think Rowling even sees anything questionable about it.
Snape too. Snape's twist was a good one but he was still an asshole. He still mercilessly bullied a young child for purely selfish reasons. Sometimes I think it might have been better if part of the twist was that Snape had to be a dick to Harry in order to maintain his cover. Because if anybody heard that he was nice to Harry it would definitely put his loyalties to the Dark Lord in question. In a way, that feels like it could be more tragic. That for years he had to hate this child who was his only connection to the woman he loved. But that might have been too easy.
>>70734121
i swear this room gets smaller in each movie
>>70735013
Goblet of fire was directed terribly that's why. Its the worst one, yates are so much better
>>70735056
Well that's certainly true.
>>70735054
Lol try watching the movies. Its pretty big in 5 and 6. I think they had to use real castle locations for 6.
>>70734047
>because they closed the Calais refugee camp
>>70735082
Yea its like an action flick. They missed the tone of the tournament it was supposed to be like wizard olympics not a deathmatch
Okay, so I don't know much about Harry Potter but why the fuck does Hogwarts have a school entirely for evil wizards. That seems like a pretty stupid idea. A guy like Draco or his dad who everyone agrees are assholes and who nobody's surprised when they join forces with the magical Antichrist to wage war on the school probably shouldn't get into the school in the first place, right? Maybe I'm just missing something massive here but it doesn't seem to add up.
>>70733217
>And free blowjobs from Luna
You didn't need to win to get that ;^)
>>70735013
>>70735056
Goblet of Fire is when the series went to shit in general. Rowling basically admitted that she fucking hated writing that book and almost didn't even finish it because it was such a mess
>>70735155
You're missing probably everything its british and quite tongue and cheek. Students are seperated in british private schools.
>>70735269
Is there a designated evil group?
>>70735155
it's based on a childrens book
Also in Ireland and Great Britain up to very recently, many schools assorted students into classes based on intelligence. Certainly during the time Rowling went to school anyway, so it may be based on that
>>70735245
Source? This sounds interesting. I love reading about writers being completely candid/brutal about their own work.
>>70734318
except the entire point of the challenges is to see who the most badass or noble wizard or whatever is
and harry was more badass and noble without following the rules
people that follow the letter of the rules at the expense of the spirit are dumb
>>70735245
The adaptations by yates to me were the best you could do with the books in translating them to film. His are very emotional so they center on harry as they should. The directing and cinematograohy was all top notch and I feel his took the material and got across everything important plus was shot superiorly. The acting improved and the series to me was very satisfying
>>70735341
There are some JK Rowling mini documentaries on youtube, where she talks about her experience with the books. I honestly don't remember in which ones she talks about, but she made comments on multiple occasions about going through hell with GoF. She said she had writers block for the entire thing and wanted to start from scratch, but her publishers insisted she release the work she had done
Why are the heads of each house able to give and take away points? Like Snape could just give Slytherin ten thousand points and they'd win
How come pottershit falls apart so easily when scrutinized?

And I thought I understood what pleb meant.
>>70735415
That's really interesting. I wonder what story she would have done instead.
Something I realised lately (and I'm not sure if I'll be able to articulate it properly) is that there's no actual reasons each books plot had to be what it is. As long as some of the larger beats stay in place (Voldemort returning, Dumbledore dying, etc.) the individual plots (goblet of fire, chamber of secrets, etc.) could have been totally different and it still would've worked. It would be interesting to see what the HP series looked like in parallel worlds. All the different titles.
>>70735529
Yea ok kid. Stop shitposting anytime
>>70735029
that's well put. With Snape maybe it was more headcanon for me than actual pieces in the text supporting it, but I kind of figured that what you're describing, this need to hate Harry, was in part a neccisity to keep up appearances. But it was also clear that he did hold deep resentment for Harry, albeit far more conflicted than we first knew.
He hated the James in him but felt obligated to the Lily. The fact that Harry's a dead ringer for James probably didn't help a whole lot.
Do Americans schools have houses at all? I didn't go to a private school or anything but my schools still had houses. There were four and each had a different name and colour. Every student was sorted into one. It wasn't like HP though. The only time our houses were relevant was for Sports Day (one day every year where students competed against each other in sports and gained points for their houses) But there were house captains and we had house meetings leading up to sports day, and even had our own songs lol. For the rest of the year though nobody gave a shit about their houses.
I always sort of assumed this was normal and most schools did it but maybe it isn't.
>>70735823
American sports in school are against other schools.
>>70735702
The only moment that I recall Snape showing genuine care or concern for Harry was when he was shocked at Dumbledore's plan and said something like "So you're just raising him like a pig for slaughter?" Even in his death scene where he gets Harry to look into his eyes, it's only because Harry has his mother's eyes and he wanted to spend his dying moments thinking about Lily.
One thing I've always been curious about is: what was Snape's long-term plan? He was a double agent, and very valuable throughout the war, but at what point was he going to openly betray Voldemort and fight? Surely the Battle of Hogwarts was pretty obviously the final battle. But I suppose he was still going on Dumbledore's instructions and waiting for the moment where Voldemort would be protecting Nagini. But as soon as he saw that, he should have nope'd the fuck out of there or something. A Snape/Voldemort duel could have been really cool, since Snape was clearly quite powerful. But obviously that would have been a lot less tragic and devastating than what actually happened to him. And I guess would have revealed his true loyalties too early to the reader.
>>70735961
Our schools competed against other schools sometimes too. But we still had houses. Although, from what I've seen, American schools' sports events are unbelievably huge.
>>70735607
The second and sixth book/film had a lot of parallels bit they work fine where they are. I think they all do l each installment gets more involved. Goblet is a nice halfway point with the tournament. Then things withthe ministry/society start to accelerate
>>70736100
That's not really what I mean. The overall story and arc of the series could have been the same even if individual book's plots were vastly different. I'm not saying that anything should be swapped around or changed. I'm just saying that we could have had very different book titles and plots.
The fourth book doesn't NEED a tournament, but it does need Voldemort to return at the end and lots of important character bits throughout it. Other than that though it could have been something totally different.
>>70735984
Snape in the third film is seen in cousel with dumbledore while they explicitly talk about his safety. Then later on snape thinks lupin and sirius are working together and he considers harry threatened by him. Like dumbledore he didn't have the whole story but he was trying to protect harry. I think he's present in ootp when harry yells at dumbledore and he's kind of almost worried ot seems. As worried as snape could ever be that is as he asks dumbledore what he called him for
>>70736181
I gotchu. It would be nice if she used any ideas she had for sequel potter films. Not cursed child shit
Why are there no good wizard fights in the entire series? Both of the confrontations with Voldemort basically boil down to "Harry shoots a thing and Voldemort shoots a thing and their spells clash," and there just plain aren't many creative uses of magic.
>big bad is the one of the nost evil and powerful wizards fucking ever
>all he can do is shoot green shit that kills people and make people feel vaguely defined pain
It's so goddamned boring.
>>70736322
Because you don't like different things. A wizard duel is very much like a gun duel. You don't want to get hit by anything and would use cover. It worked fine if you're trying to disarm incapacitate or kill and not practice cool looking spells just because itsgoing to be adrenalized
>>70733361

>>70732804
>>70735448
What's happening is part of a phenomenon I wrote about a couple of years ago when I was asked to comment on Rowling. I went to the Yale University bookstore and bought and read a copy of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I suffered a great deal in the process. The writing was 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.
But when I wrote that in a newspaper, I was denounced. I was told that children would now read only J.K. Rowling, and I was asked whether that wasn't, after all, better than reading nothing at all? If Rowling was what it took to make them pick up a book, wasn't that a good thing?
It is not. "Harry Potter" will not lead our children on to Kipling's "Just So Stories" or his "Jungle Book." It will not lead them to Thurber's "Thirteen Clocks" or Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows" or Lewis Carroll's "Alice."
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.

The House Cup marks an important development of tone in the series. It is of considerable importance in the first book, with Harry feeling devastated to have put Gryffindor in last place after being caught out of bed. With each proceeding book, it is pushed further into the background (the winner not even being revealed after book 3), paralleling the main characters maturing and caring about more important issues.Only Gryffindor and Slytherin are ever mentioned in the books to have won the House Cup. While Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff almost certainly have won the Cup they have never been presented with it in the books. They may have won it while Harry was at school but during the years not presented.The House Cup system was thrown into disarray in1996, following the formation of theInquisitorial Squad. The broad powers given to members of this group, consisting entirely of Slytherins, meant that points were docked en masse from other houses, Gryffindor in particular.Severus Snapenoted at the end of school year that they had none left, prior toMinerva McGonagalladding a large number to the actions ofDumbledore's Armyat theBritish Ministry of Magic. As the Inquisitorial Squad was disbanded following the removal ofDolores Umbridgebefore the end of the school year, it is entirely possible that the House Cup was simply not awarded out of fairness.

>>70733641
If you read the books you would know :^)Gryffindor sucked at Quidditch until Harry's first year. They were on a loooong losing streak. Most of the teachers didn't play favorites with their students. Even Mcgonagol, Flitch, and Sprout didn't award any extra points to Gryfindor, Ravenclaw, or Hufflpuff respectively. Snape constantly deducted points from non-slytherin houses and would award his own house tons of points.

Are you threating your superior? Cinema is a slaughter house. This is a medium of suffering in the name of authenticity and the board should reflect that. This isn't 'fun times "film buff" clubhouse'

The closest it gets to that is freshman/sophomore/junior/senior competitions during pep rallys or other events.

well the thing is that Harry never met the asshole Dumbledore. he met the wise, all knowing Dumbledore so in his mind that's the only Dumbledore that exists. The same with James, he never got to meet him so in his head he was a noble man. Even though he later on realizes they were both horrible people he can't think of them like that because to him they are good people.
I think it's something like my grand father. everyone always says he was an abusive drunk who cheated on his wife and wasted all of his money on booze but I only met a man who would always take care of me and was the nicest man ever, and even when I realized he was a horrible person in the past he was still a good man in my mind because that's the grand father I knew.
As for the Snape thing, I pretty thought the implication was that he was only mean to Harry because that was part of the plan and because he didn't want anyone to think he could care or have any kind of favouritism for a non Slytherin student, and that he really cared deeply about Harry.

That makes sense actually. I know for a fact my dad was an alcoholic asshole but I'm too young to have memories of that so it doesn't really affect how I see him. Kind of strange how it works, to be honest.

I mean, there's definitely some care there at least. But I thought the implications was that he hates Harry because he reminds him of James, and he only really looks after him out of respect for Lily. I don't know. I'll have to reread them soon.

well they do outright say that he hates Harry because he reminds him of James, but to me that always sounded like something people assumed and Snape never said anything to disprove them.
But he does go to great lenghts to protect Harry and he even puts himself in danger to protect him. Idk, it my sound too headcanon but I always thought that the implication was that he protected him at first for Lily's sake but at the end Harry grew on him and he did his best to hide it.

No, the whole point of the House Cup was to promote good behaviour and to reward exceptional individuals. Harry Potter and friends did nothing but break rules and endanger themselves. Sure maybe they could get a separate award for services to the school but not the House Cup.
>>70738570
It is a children's series written by a "SJW" for profit. Nothing more. I am not a child so why would I take this even remotely seriously? At this stage of life I have been exposed to film which is in a completely different league.

>>70738850
Because they were made purely for profit. You have children like >>70738927 trying to connect stuff, but its just as sophomore as the B/v/S children(which he most likely is)
>>70738916
Wait, is that confirmed?
Making one house the "evil" messes with the message of the films.
>>70738896
>Rowling is a hack writer.
No shit mate
>>70738987
Wow you're retarded. Once again learn to film. Yates indirectly and even directly homaged brazil in dh1 and the series deal with corrupt society as it goes along. There are many parallels to the modern world you. Can you discuss something without mentioninf BVS? British cope with their shit lives by naking fun of themselves. The ministry and wizards are incompetent and batshit for a reason as is the fearful nature of everyone. The direction in 2 3 5 6 7 and 8 is very much on purpose

Wrong. If you had any sense you'd see the series was very well made. It was going to make big bucks regardless. The direction the series took was fantastic but you had assholes complaining it was different because it was different from the books. And now we have faggots insinutating there no original filmmaking at work. Well youre blind

we really gotta calm down with all these made-up statistics. when you think about it, the amount of slytherins we see that are dark wizards is actually a pretty small percent of how many students there are every year. there's probably more slytherin accountants than slytherin dark wizards

>Not to play armchair writer, but if I wrote Harry Potter ideally you would have four leads, one of each house
The way it's done in Harry Potter probably has to do something with British boarding schools and their groups and cliques. You can't convey the whole "us vs dem bullies" if you just get one kid from each house. That'd make story interesting.
>>70740067

A few different reasons:
1. Educated people don't hang out on 4chan. They have better things to do, like advance their chosen fields and tend to their families.
2. Not only is 4chan largely poorly educated (or just young, which is the same thing), those who do come here don't come here to be enlightened or advancement. They come here for knee-jerk and cheap entertainment.
There's a bunch of other pocket reasons, but these two cover the bulk of it.
