Thoughts?

>>63668709
dullest franchise in history of movie franchises
I'm really hyped.
I love Redmayne and the Wizarding World, so I'm obviously excited. Could be really promising.
>>63668709
i literally cant watch a single thing with that ugly faggot's face
>>63668709
I honestly don't see the point of this shit.
If WB wanted to milk the license some more they could've just done a prequel or something.
Who is this movie for? Is Harry Potter still a big thing for kids?
Eddie Redmayne
Colin Farrell
Ron Perlman
Goddamn, nailed it.

This right here, Harry Potter was easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. 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 seriesüf 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 itüfs 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 are g-g-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

They wanted J.K.'s backing. She's almost a big a brand as the franchise. J.K.'s made it clear countless times that she isn't interested in doing another Potter. So they came up with this.
>>63668899
the first few movies are comfy as fuck

HP is god tier when it comes to comfy levels. Faggots can't name ONE movie comfier than Harry Potter.
>>63668709
so its Ace ventura pet detective in the wizard world
>>63669214
I was thinking more Rex Harrison's Dr Dolittle
>>63669259
Nice, want a cookie faggot?
>>63669317
Yes, please.
What a shitty trailer
I mean I'm hype for Redmayne and more of this universe but fuck David Yates and fuck how boring that was
At least the film is a lot brighter and hopefully more light hearted.
>>63668709
Harry Potter was always shitty at best
i tried to like Eddie Redmayne but i can't stand him he's the most tryhard actor i've ever seen
>>63668709
>wandshit
Who cares? At least it stars my husbando.

Nostalgic young adults
I prefer trailers like this. I suppose the modern term for it is a "teaser trailer" that intentionally shows very little.
I'm officially hyped.
Will be complete shit without comfy Hogwarts scenes
>>63669030
pasta
there's zero hype for this movie
guaranteed to flop
>cloakshit
Into the trash it goes
Pretty underwhelming but I mean It's the first teaser and at least it gives me a basic idea of what It's about without giving away any of the plot
>Someone like JK Rowling is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good Seuss novel.
>Rowling seems to be too concerned with other novels. I mean, about appropriating other book, like in a blender. I think it’s, like, really funny at the time I’m seeing it, but then, I don’t know, there’s a void there. Some of the references are flat, just pop culture.
>These novels don't scrape the bottom of the barrel. These novel are not the bottom of the barrel. These novels aren't below the bottom of the barrel. These novels don't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.
>>63668709
Eddie fagmayne
>fucking turned that shit right off
>I’ll never read them again, but I will keep it. I’ll keep it right on my desk, as a constant reminder that a bloated sense of self-importance is the most unattractive quality in a person or their work.”
I totally read that as Fantastic Breasts and where to find them
>No matter what she's charging for them, it's worth more to throw your money out.
>>63668709
What do I think? Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip. Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family
>I’m not against the word, and I use it, but not excessively. And some people speak that way. But, Rowling is infatuated with that word. What does she want to be made — an honorary magician?
>>63671028
That will be the name of the inevitable porn parody. Quick, someone copyright it and sell it to the porn industry later!
more like Fantastic BReasts and Where to Find Them
if you know what i mean. amirite senpai? high five
>I don’t know her personally. I don’t think her books are very good.
>I haven’t any right to criticize books, and I don’t do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticize J. K. Rowling, but her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Every time I read ‘Half Blood Prince,’ I want to drive over to her house and hit her over the skull with her own shin-bone.
>Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is one of the most appalling movies I have ever seen. It could not be more damaging to the career of Ekow Quartey if it had been made as a documentary by someone who hated him. The fact that Rowling apparently thinks this movie is worth seeing is revealing and sad, indicating that she not only lacks a sense of humor, but also ordinary human decency.
>Lewis, Sanderson, and Martin move in the same field as Tolkien. Rowling was on her way, but expired, suffocated by her own tediousness.
>>63668709
Looks neat. Was that Katherine Waterston?
>>63668709
It would be more interesting if it took place after 7, never mind that it's based on a textbook.
>It’s like reading a schoolgirl’s fantasy of magic and satanism, which normally Rowling would be wanking alone to in her bedroom while her mother is making her baked beans downstairs. Only this time she’s got Warner Brothers behind her and it’s on at a million screens.
>I wish I knew how to read.
>How to read ‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’? Why, very quickly, to begin with, and perhaps also to make an end. Why read it? Presumably, if you cannot be persuaded to read anything better, Rowling will have to do.
>>63671201
Fuckin' kek
It'd be funny if this turned out like Wizard Pokemon.
>There were political reasons why I was out of the movie. That really upset me... just because of the temperature of me and the industry, my scenes were cut.
>>63669030
>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.
So what you're saying is, you have autism? Thanks, that makes is easy to know whether your opinions should be completely discarded.

>God-Tier
>Nothing by Emile Zola
Are /lit/ a bunch of plebs?
>For me she’s just a hoax. It’s empty. It’s not interesting. It’s dead. Harry Potter, which I have a copy of — is all the critics’ darling, always at the top of every poll taken, but I think it’s a total bore. Above all, the prose is worthless. The amount of respect that books got is absolutely unbelievable
>An enthusiasm for Rowling is the mark of a decidedly primitive stage of reflection.
Honestly it would be interesting if they had a chracter that's from New Orleans using voodoo or even Native American magic.
>A great cow full of ink.
>[Harry Potter is] the work of a queasy chav scratching her pimples.
Finally, some American wizards using actual magic to fuck shit up, no more of this pussy brit trash.

>there are people on this planet that wouldn't fuck Stephanie Meyer
The great thing is since she basically telegraphs her fetishes in her books you'd know exactly what you'd be getting into.
>>63668709
I wondered how long it would take to warp the franchise with American pandering.
>>63668709
How can Americans use magic when they have a shitty accent and cannot pronounce words right? You guys even misspell words on purpose and call it "American English".
How the fuck is magic going to work in a country that butchers a language when it's clearly explained you have to get the words exactly right or shit goes wrong.
>movie about hunting down magical creatures
this movie is gonna be 100% worldbuilding my dick is hard
>le gay British guy
Dropped hard.
>A prequel trilogy
What could go wrong?
>>63668709
I'm addicted to this universe. Bring more!
>>63671931
dat egg physique
>>63669030
oh fuck
I'm incredibly well-read by /lit/ standards
>>63668709
Looks like shit. Looks like boring ordinary world with a wizard adventuring in it. The first Harry Potter was so.good.because of the world it showed. The last Harry Potters were so.bad because.it was just a soap.opera with self proclaimed wizards in it.
>black, woman President
>in the 1920s
I'm sorry, but the wizarding world is not that progressive. Hell, they're quite Amish, I'd like to see how they operate in a big city like New York.
>>63668709
I'm the biggest HP nerd so you know I'm going to be the first to pre-order seats to another HP universe movie. Might even take my bf and his family haha
I hope there's a female lead I can relate to like Hermione or Luna Lovegood!
>>63668709
>invites you back to the wizarding world
literally the gayest fucking thing i've seen in a trailer
>>63671144

That would be a yes.

I will never understand why The Great Gatsby is revered so much.
It was boring as fuck when I read it.
>>63669030
>all that fiction
/lit/ loves to read fiction and pretends any one book of lies is different from another.
>>63669030
This is bait, nothing on that list deserves to be where it is.
