FINE DAY, SUNDAY
MY OPINION, BEST DAY OF THE WEEK
Is that uncle monty?
NO POST ON SUNDAY
I'll post these dubs
No blasted posts today. No sir, not one!
>>72111810
No dubs on Sunday
>>72111673
Yes, yes, fine day sunday fine day sunday.
HOWEVER
>>72111922
Untrue
I don't get why we were supposed to dislike this character
>loves his family
>tries to keep everyone together
>raises a boy that isn't even related to him
>cares about him and doesn't want him to go to a black magic school that endangers his life on a yearly basis
What did he do wrong?
>>72111922
Oh the irony.
Why did he raise his wifes son?
>>72112034
They made Harry sleep under the stairs while they had a room just for Dudley's shit.
>>72112178
wow, you mean he had a warm, roofed shelter with free clothes and free food instead of atorn cardboard box and having to jerk off old men for change?
What villains!
>>72112246
Harry had to work for those clothes and food, though.
>>72112246
>atom cardboard
doesn't sound too bad

Harry didn't do shit, just some chores, which any kid would do.
Uncle Vernon didn't do nothing, m80
>>72113616
Oh yeah he didn't do anything except verbally and emotionally abuse Harry
Fun fact, the country that Harry Potter was set in outside of Hogwarts is very close in appearance to the nation of England, no comment from JK Rolling or the director has ever been given on the similarity
>>72113690
He was preparing Harry for a hard life as a freak. He was looking out for his '''nephew'''
>>72112062
There's a point where an obsession with a children's book becomes very sad.

What did Vernon do that was so terrible exactly? He decided to take Harry in like someone hiding jews from the nazis and in response Harry causes all sorts of mischief but still he cares for him and looks after him despite the risk to his family. He tries to teach him to behave, toughen him up to face the real world and get him to stop acting like an aspy so he can be a part of things, yet each time Harry rejects and rebukes him. Vernon reaches out and Harry bites, Vernon gets mad though still he keeps reaching out, it is kind of sad. Even when evil wizards were literally on their way to torture him and he had to flee his own home he keeps his cool.
>>72113941
But he keeps him in this tiny ass room under the stairs where he doesn't even fit.

>>72114062
Yeah but she was a Jew
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
>>72113941
>He tries to teach him to behave, toughen him up to face the real world
That was obviously not his motive since he allowed Dudley to become a spoiled little shit. He just didn't care about Harry and was only raising him out of a sense of obligation, which I guess merits some gratitude. I mean, he's not a monster, but he's far from parent of the year.

why the fuckd id no one avada kedavra the shit out of that snake?
also why the fuck does Hogwarts have funding if a giant killer snake is under it's fucking floors?
and who the fuck designed such shit tier plumbing and never renovated it?
>>72114786
It's taboo for anybody to use Avada Kedavra under any circumstances whatsoever.
As for the giant snake, it's probably the same reason they have a tree that murders anybody who gets close to it, a forest full of giant man-eating spiders, and a dangerous poltergeist on school grounds. And how about that popular team sport where you're pretty much garunteed to break your neck if you fall off a broom?
>>72114786
are u baiting m8?
>>72114194
Why were his parents even rich?
>>72114786
Avada Kedavra is a forbidden curse
Salazar Slytherin put it there.
Salazar Slytherin, magic pipes don't need renevation.
>>72114786
Pretty sure Basilisks have magic resistant hide just like Giants and Dragons so unless it's hit in the ees or mouth, it wouldn't do shit.
I like this thread, OP.

Was Voldemort aware of the events of Chamber of Secrets?
>>72116106
he knew that lucius gave away his horcrux and kt was destroyed yes
>>72113690
Get some rest Potter, you look tired
>>72111986
>>72112038
it isn't realistic that Vernon would let Harry live under stairs when they had extra rooms.
If he had his own room and they still treated him like trash, it would be more realistic.
>>72117030
that happens in the second and third one
>>72114194
>never even considers sharing it with his best friend who is poor
>friend is poor even when magic exists
Does anyone have a webm or pic of the shot with Aunt Pertunia covered in sweat, wearing that little dress get up, fanning herself? I can't remember which movie it was from but i remember being surprisingly aroused when seeing it and thinking, "wtf, i would...".

>>72116106
What would have happened if the Tom Riddle from the diary finished sucking the life out of Ginny and turned real? Would there be two Voldemorts then? Or would the other one merge with the teen one?
>>72117411
this was answered it would only be the memories of 16 year old riddle or whatever he was
>>72114297
1.265625 million dollars, apparently.
>>72117149
Magic solves the hunger side at least, the weasleys were white niggers popping out kids without the means to support them.
>>72117149
They explain in the book you can't just make money, and also the Weasleys were "too proud" to take Harrys'
why didn't voldemort buy a fucking gun
>>72118059
stop thinking guns would be useful or appealing to wizards or a witchcraft fantasy story my dumb fellow american
Why didn't Harry use Buckbeak to throw a nuke on Voldemort?
>>72118059
It takes place in Bongistan and not America.
>>72118081
>>72118479
no really all voldemort needs to do is buy some knock-off .38, forget the avada kedavra nonsense and just pop harry and cedric in the graveyard
>>72115518
A pretty shite children's book series at that
Do you guys think Aunt Petunia forced harry to go down on her?
harry potter is the bad type of wish fulfillment
>>72112062
THATS IT WE'RE GOING AWAY!!!
>>72111673
>locking his devil child in a cupboard just in case his magic goes haywire and killed them all.
Uncle Vernon did absolutely nothing wrong.
>>72114888
>Basilisks have magic resistant hide just like Giants and Dragons
So why don't Wizards kill them and use their hide to make magic proof armor? Harry could easy have taken Voldemort if he had a magic proof vest.
>>72121400
meh
how many basilisks are roaming around in their world?
>>72114468
Dumbledore was literally gay for wizard Hitler
>Right you are, Harry!
There is something hilarious about the cheery way he says this. Maybe it's because that's the only time in the entire series he uses Harry's first name.
>>72114327
Source? Would really like to read that
>>72117149
Harry considers it several times actually but he knows the Weasleys would never accept the charity.

Shut the fuck up
Harry should've ended up with Cho. I'm currently reading the fifth book and I can't fucking believe he still ends up with fucking Ginny.
Fuck you Rowling you asshole bitch why did you have to mary sue yourself into ginny and then force marry harry because you're such a trainwreck.
>>72122291
Harry should have ended up with Luna
>>72122291
Cho is completely incompatible with him. The whole point of that is that she's his first crush but ultimately it's nothing more than that, they don't actually have much in common.
Regardless of what you think of Ginny, the Cho handling was valid.
>>72122312
In the books, not really, in the films, yeah, they practically shot it as a beginning future romance.
>>72122198
BBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>72122312
Yes I would've been fine with that aswell.
>>72122329
Yeah you're probably right, I still haven't gotten to the inevitable break up part.
But they seem so happy together :c
>>72122312
It would have worked fine in the films, frankly he shares more screentime with her than he does with Ginny
>the incredible casting of the films
They didn't do all the characters justice in writing or screentime, but by god they cast everyone right.

>>72114786
How the fuck mastermind Dumbledore did not know where the entrance to a chamber of secrets is, yet some fucking aspiring 13 y/o figured it out? If he did it intentionally to test Harry's balls then man he's a sociopath.
>>72122312
LUNA IS MINE
>>72122442
Gambon was great in POA and HBP. He had weird direction in GOF and OOTP to be way more angry and aggressive than Dumbledore should be.
But for the other two he was great. Richard Harris was wise and grandfathery and all that but Dumbledore's meant to come across as very intimidating and strong in his own way, too, while staying whimsical.
>>72122486
Prime Luna, and then enchant her so she stays that way
>>72122486
Fuck luna, marry the weasley.
>>72122488
Because he doesn't speak Parseltongue so had no clues to its whereabouts.
>>72122488
Because the plot writing is just bad. How did the snake even move around "pipes", what kind of pipes are these? How did it stay alive down there? Did it shit down there?
>>72122488
DD doesn't know all the secrets of Hogwarts. He didn't know about the Room of Requirement for instance. He'd found it once when he needed to piss and created a room full of chamberpots for him, but he couldn't find it again since he didn't know the secret behind it.
>>72122536
The giant ass pipes in the walls. They enter the chamber through some of them.
Also it stayed alive because it hibernated until woken and is literally magical so it's kind of a wave off.
>Okay we got 3 spells that are totally illegal and you're not allowed to do, here's the names so you can do them
Fuckin what? That's like giving everyone a loaded gun and a getaway car
>>72122291
because harry did not want crazy pussy.
he went for /comfy/ with ginny.
>>72112246
Srry abt ur childhood bruh
So here's a thought.
In the fifth book everyone kinda hates Harry because they think he's making everything up about Voldy. Soooooo why doesn't Harry just put the memory inside a Pensieve so everyone from the Ministry can see the resurrection of Voldy for themselves??
>>72122569
Nope.
Read it again.
Moody/Crouch straight up says the words aren't enough, you need power and conviction behind them. He says they could all point their wands at him and say the words for the killing curse and he wouldn't even get a nosebleed.
Hell they demonstrate that when Harry tries to use crucio on Bellatrix and it doesn't work, it just knocks her over.
>>72122569
Everyone can buy legal rape potions in the stores.
Wizards are retarded
>>72122598
He doesn't own a pensieve and the Minister is not at his beck and call.
>>72122569
moody says in the class the ministry told hogwarts not to teach it but dumbledore thinks different, so its alluded to.
>>72122598
I guess memories can be tampered with
>>72122611
>sex shops in HP universe
>>72114327
dumb bastard
>>72122569
Moody literally says that it doesn't matter if the kids pointed their wands and shouted avada kedavra at him after the class, because it takes more than that to use the unforgivable spells.
>>72122569
Also they were not actually supposed to be taught about the three curses.
>construct a maze to protect one of the most powerful artifacts in history
>fucking riddles which can be solved by first grades instead of deadly traps or impenetrable doors
>50 points for breaching the secure system created by "proffesionals"
>>72122617
Yeah but couldn't Dumblydore be like "Hey Harry could you just jizz your memories in this bucket, I want to see it for myself"?
>>72122633
As is done in the sixth book as a major plot point.
>>72122665
I don't think it's a great idea to start chucking everyone's memories into the pensieve. Dumbledore keeps the few memories from other people separate and he had heard everything that happened from Harry anyway.
![Frodo-Sam-image-frodo-and-sam-36091804-1920-796[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HIgz3Ll.jpg "Frodo-Sam-image-frodo-and-sam-36091804-1920-796[1]")
Why did the ghosts that go through walls not find the hidden chamber?
>>72122656
Ok.
Say you're a mighty wizard who solves everything with a wave of his wand.
Suddenly you can't use your wand to solve it, you have to solve a logic riddle instead.
Suddenly, you're boned because you spent your life using magic and not your logic centre.
Hermione literally points out that most wizards haven't an ounce of logic.
>>72122695
Because they are bound to a specific location, I guess.
>>72122598
The ministry was already partly corrupt iirc
>>72122695
What hidden chamber?
>>72122695
the ghosts did go
moaning myrtle probably went in it all the time
>>72122715
Myrtle can go as far as into the lake though.
>>72122715
Too bad there isn't a ghost right in the bathroom then
>>72122743
She doesn't really explore though. She only goes between the bathrooms and occasionally the lake if she gets flushed.
>>72122712
Then why didn't Snape poisoned all the fials to ensure that any smart dumbass will die in suffering?
>Cho is asian with a scottish accent
I don't care how boring she is I'd plough her into the fucking ground.
>that scene where Nearly Headless Nick talks about why he became a ghost and that he sometimes wishes he had had the courage to die instead of clinging on in imitation of life
>>72122656
But they were deadly traps. They just managed to avoid them by being proficient in their certain areas.
>Plant that chokes you to death
>lmao just fly through razor blades with the shittiest broom ever
>Chess board that murders you for blunders
Ron cheated death because he was on top of the horse. If he had to sacrifice Harry or Hermione, we'd have no more books.
As the other guy said, any "true" wizard would get stuck on the logic puzzle.
>>72122758
Because how the hell is Dumbledore or someone else supposed to get to the Stone then?
Why wasn't Veritasserum used on every fucking death eater they caught? How did Karkarov even have a sliver of leverage? When they could've just waterboarded him with the stuff and get the names of every death eater there ever was.
THE CHINESE FIREBALL, OOOOOOOOOOH
>>72122790
Also, a reason it's like that is it's the first book and it's much more child orientated, so it's a lot more simple and fairy tale esque.
>>72122783
and they cut Nick out all the films after the second one
>>72122803
Because not just anyone can brew that, for starters, so unless you're 100% certain it's correctly done the information can't even be trusted.
Even then, it's not foolproof. Someone prepared for it can take measures.
It might not have even existed back during the trials shown anyway, it might be a more recent truth potion. The wolf bane potion is a recent invention in the books too, so it's not out of the question.
>>72122810
Really now.
What the flying fuck with up with the Goblet of Fire movie? Was it made on acid?
Everyone acts like a complete lunatic in the film, everyone's hair is out of control, the books' most complex plot is rendered nonsensical by the cut up script, and the pacing is just all over the place.
It's the weirdest movie of the series by far.
>>72122569
Book 4: These three curses are so awful that if you use one of them you will spend the rest of your life in Wizard Auschwitz, surrounded by soul sucking monstrosities.
Book 7: lol, lets use Imperio on everyone we meet to make them our mindless slaves. Hey that guy spat on Professor McGonagall, I'm going to inflict pain beyond belief upon him,pain that can drive men insane
>>72122902
its a result of the movies changing directors all the time i guess. There was no clear direction at the time
>>72122792
How about bring the correct potion with him when he enters?
Seriously, the obstacle course was clearly designed to allow anyone through so long as they were competent first years or better, as opposed to only allowing authorized people. Why the fuck did Flitwick not only put the key to his locked door IN THE ROOM (defeats the whole purpose of locking the door with a key), but also provide a means of collecting it in that same room? He's a dueling master or some shit. Just put it in your pocket and walk the fuck away.
>>72122948
>everyone we meet
>one person, one time, in an extreme emergency
>>72122415
Everyone except Ginny. She was supposed to be a hot leggy redheaded beauty, not an Irish looking mong.
>>72111673
Vernon movie when
>>72122656
>>72122790
The traps were just distractions I'd imagine. The true protection was that it was hidden in Hogwarts, guarded by Dumbledore, greatest wizard of all time.
Remember Quirrell had to distract Dumbledore away from the school before he even attempted the steal. Most likely they just stuck that other shit in there to deter and slow any potential thieves down.
>>72122902
I blame the director.
It's the only film in the series he did, and none of the other films are batshit insane like that, so he's the common denominator.
The plot being slashed to shit is down to the screenwriter, but apparently they had seriously considered splitting the film in two (this was before doing two part films for adaptations was a thing) before of how long it was, but ultimately they decided to compress it instead.
>>72114133
>Atlas shrugged
lmfao
>>72122983
>Irish looking
But she looked extremely English.
>>72122983
To be fair, they had no idea how she would age, or that she would even be the love interest when they first casted Philosopher Stone.
>>72122983
To be fair to them, they cast her as a little kid in 2000, when she only appeared briefly in the first film, and they never recast her.
Plus it wasn't made clear in the books that she grew up to be hot until the sixth book, released in 2005 after three of the movies were already out.
Dangers of starting film adaptations before the books are finished.
>>72122218
If she were married to James Potter, yes.
>>72123020
>apparently they had seriously considered splitting the film in two
Imagine if they had started splitting all the moviesfrom Goblet.
They would have ended up with a whooping 11 movies.
>>72123037
>>72123056
Well, gotta give them that, at least they kept her instead of trying to 'subtly' replace her with a different actor
>Hermione was only good in the first film and MAYBE the second
>She just became Emma Watson from the third film onward
She was nothing like Hermione by the end of the series.
>>72114858
Most of the potions in the wizarding world were created by the Potters of old.
>>72123072
they did recast a few of the students, but it was only really the ones who appears as named extras with no lines, who got recast then when they actually got a role in later films
>>72114858
Harry's grandparents (as in James' parents) were from a very old and very rich wizarding family. So James inherited their money and Harry in turn since James died at age 22 or 23.
>>72122598
JK didn't think more than a paragraph ahead.
>>72123082
I always thought it was donated to him by various wizard families as he was the orphan that lived.
Fuck you, Rowling.
>>72123077
This pissed me off by the fourth film where Hermione was suddenly always the hot chick instead of bookish frumpy Hermione. Like her big Yule Ball transformation is just "Oh it's still Emma Watson but now she has a different dress on, wow", instead of the book's one where Harry initially doesn't even recognise her.
Vain as fuck bitch, Emma Watson.
>>72123077
>implying the original bookworm had complex personality
The main three should've been in different houses. I've said it before but putting all the good guys in Gryffindor, all the bad guys in Slytherin and making Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw borderline irrelevant was stupid.
Do we even hear about their common rooms other than where they are and a single line about what they look like?
>>72123130
That's really not true at all.
>>72123157
I don't think they knew his postal address.
>>72123092
eg Lavender Brown becoming Lavender Pale.
>>72114786
Avada Kedavra was invented in book 4.
This is a series where they use a time machine to take as many classes as possible instead of stopping wizard-Hitler, so consistency isn't really common.
>>72123164
Where did I say she had a complex personality? She at least HAD one, instead of just the actress playing herself.
She didn't even attempt to be the Hermione of the book from about movie four on.
>>72123221
Except no it wasn't.
Harry dreams of flashes of green light killing his parents in the first book.
>>72123221
>instead of stopping wizard-Hitle
did anyone who whines about the time turner actually read anything Hermione said about it?
Why am I the only one who has read Hogwarts: A History anyway?
>>72123198
Indeed.
Though Lavender did not actually get a physical description until she entered the plot in book six.
Both nerd girls were too hot for their own good, Luna and Hermione were the most attractive girls in the movies, while Ginny wasn't worth mentioning. Funny how that turned out.
>>72123244
It could had been any random spell, it was in book 4 when they declared the 3 forbidden spell, and that the green shit was Avada Kedavra.
>>72123263
>Why am I the only one who has read Hogwarts: A History anyway?
Because fucking reasons.
>did anyone who whines about the time turner actually read anything Hermione said about it?
What did she say
>>72114786
>why the fuckd id no one avada kedavra the shit out of that snake?
Because no one even knew where it was, or that it was a basilisk.
>also why the fuck does Hogwarts have funding if a giant killer snake is under it's fucking floors?
Again, they didn't know a basilisk was in the school.
>and who the fuck designed such shit tier plumbing and never renovated it?
Nothing wrong with the plumbing, though. And it had been renovated at some point in the centuries since, the basilisk just adapted to it.
In short you were defeated by the complexity of a children's novel. The second one, in fact, intended for 10 year olds.
>>72123221
>Time Turner
Even Rowling knew that shit was broken, she had them all become unusable in Book 5.
>>72123295
>Harry dreams of a green light killing his parents in the first book
>In the fourth book, the green light is identified as a killing spell and its name is revealed
This is like, really straightforward storytelling anon. How are you having trouble with this?
>>72123295
In short.
Don't fuck with time.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!
>>72123326
Think people just get confused, because they seem to throw it around and only 10% of the time do they even say the curse name before the spell.
Avada as one of the 3 worst spells is dumb as fuck really, the mind control one and torture one are understandable, but Sectumsempra is nearly as bad, plus the Dementers kiss has got to be worse than Avada, and the ministry still used it as a punishment. I imagine also, there's gotta be a nasty rape potion somewhere. What's so unforgivable about a basic kill spell? You could use it on an animal when hunting or some shit.

>>72123590
It's an "unforgivable curse", of which there are only 3, not just a "bad" spell
>>72123668
Yes, because it only exists to kill people. Like the other two only exist to torture people or control them.
>>72123737
It kills animals too, it's used on a spider. You could use it every day to get rid of pests.
>>72123326
Its just uncreative. There is a spell which instantly kills, unstoppable, unblockable, etc.
Why don't wizards spam that shit on-stop in wars? Even in book 7 they use different spells, when the plot-armor clicks in.

The only one Harry doesnt go into is Hufflepuff
>>72123168
Hufflepuff is a joke house, I bet Rowling secretly wishes she wrote something else. No one will ever convince me it actually stands for anything worthwhile, is underrated, or some such. It's a joke house.

The effects for the first film have aged....interestingly. Even the director of the first two films said they mishandled them and they were all in a rush at the end instead of being done throughout production like from the second film one. The basilisk in the second film still looks pretty good if I recall but holy shit the troll and books and flying scenes in the first film look nearly Mummy Returns level.

speaking of Quidditch. you'd think there'd be dedicated catchers for each game in case anyone fell. Magically slowing down the fall of whoever would fall off. that's their job maybe?
But no. Instead they just have to hope that Madam Pomfrey would be able to magically mend a fatal spine injury or ruptured organs with some potion thing.
Then say you mend a kid into perfect health. What about the traumatic experience? Experiencing the pain of falling 100 + feet , being a twisted broken suffering shadow of a human, sliding into the great beyond, and then somehow surviving would ruin the kid mentally.
>>72122603
On that thought, when Harry did try to use crucio on Bellatrix, after just having seen her kill his closest thing to a father, how did it not tear her apart? You think that would have made the spell powerful enough.
>>72125574
He didn't simply have it in him. Even when the world was at stake he chose expelliarmus as his potentially last spell ever against Voldemort
>>72125525

Because all he had was righteous anger at Sirius' death, not genuine true malice and desire to cause pain, and he'd never cast it before either.

>>72126632
I have one criticism of 3 and it's that they don't ever actually clearly explain what the plot twist was. I know what it is because I've read the book, but never in the whole climax do they ever actually clearly say "Peter Pettigrew was the Potter's keeper instead of Sirius, he betrayed them and framed Sirius then faked his death".
It's weird how they sort of dance around explaining what the fuck is going on in the climax. It must have been hell to non-readers.

I mean really, watching those first two movies nowadays is pretty cringeworthy, particuarly the acting from the kids. One particular thing springs to mind is when Ron is trapped in the plant shit after Hermione and Harry both have slid down. Holy shit, the acting from Radcliffe and Watson when trying to remember the spell to get rid of the plant is top tier cringe worthy.

Book rankings are pretty similar
3>7>6>4>2>5>1
>>72126709
yea they are meant to be standalone or complementary to the books, surely a very big chunk of the audience did read the book.
they should have added something about padfoot and prongs and mooney and wormtail and explained it but its all implied. the shreiking shack scene was pretty well done considering how much explanations were in the book, you get the jist that pettigrew was the one who betrayed harrys parents and sirirus was wrongly accused
>>72126731
yea man its directed poorly and the adaptation is sketchy. theres good parts and i enjoy it still but it not as good as the others to me. newell really isnt subtle and he made the tournament a gladiator match even moreso than wizard olympics. great climax though (the shining maze fits the film) and moody was a standout. yates and cuarons are much better. maybe 1=4. but its all subjective.

You can't change time, you only relive what events has already occurred through assisting the current time line.
Like the way they went back and saved buckbeak and sirius. All that stuff already happened the first time around, they just didn't know it.
Hermione can't suddenly decide to go back in time to 2 days and kill lord voldemort, because for that to happen, he must have already died 2 days ago.

10/10 in britain
>>72123070
they actors already were constantly working filming all of them back to back except ootp , combined with their promotions they were busy all the time, which is why radcliffe and watson considered leaving. so if they did even more it probably would have been a mess and they would have needed to switch actor look at this
2000 filming 1
2001 promoting 1 filming 2
2003 filming 3
2004 promoting 3 filming 4

yea its the directors fault
>>72126709
When Sirius and Lupin were holding Wormtail down in the shack, just before they were about to kill him, they said aloud that he was the one who betrayed the Potters, etc.
>>72126819
>>72126870
Yea for 10 11 year olds i thought they were decent enough though, i acrually though watson was pretty good especially being stereotypical hermione. they definitely improved with the direction of cuaron and then again with yates though.
nice ranking. for some reason i think hbp is one of the best its a dreary dreamlike tonal masterpiece. the castle engulfing the characters in times of stress. people dong like the adaptation but for a film its really good. yates really came in and put his foot down in the series which it needed. i though ootp was a commemorate job for a debut.
i like hoopers soundtrack more but i do like 7 a lot as well. as soundtracks 1 2 are great and 3 4 5 6 7 are goat

>>72127551

>>72114333
>>72114333
Fucking brad neeley
>>72127153
Vaguely I guess, but they just could have been more explanatory. They did the same in OOTP, left everything just sort of hinted at.
>>72127646
Idk how old she is in the books/story compared to them but not that much older after its all said and, only a couple months. If she was time traveling for 1 school year during the school week she would age about a little over a day extra every week (i think the time turner is only effective 5-6hhours a use). how many weeks on their school year i dont know. But it provides she aged two months or more her 18th bday (and all of them) comes sooner.
at least i domt think it would be 9-12 months. unless she was older to begin with. in the movies shes younger but they are all the same age roughly to start.
>>72127813
they didnt want to boggle down the films with extra exposition that could fuck up the climaxes or pacing. granted they could have thrown in a couple crazy limes to explain stuff, nut they took to making the emotions flow and show for the characters properly, mostly the trio and them in the end dumbledore and snape
>>72113508
They come from, the bearded man
>>72127867
>>72127867
In OOTP and GOF's case the lack of explanation hurt the film. Well all of GOF was a mess, but OOTP felt like it ended really abruptly with little resolution to the film's plot.
be honest, you wanted Harry and Hermione to use the time turner a second time at the end and go into the broom cupboard for five minutes. Cuaron hinted at it...........
>>72111673
>/tv/ having regular threads about normie shit like Harry Potter
What happened? In the Alan Rickman death sticky anyone who mentioned HP was crucified. Is Reddit invading?
>>72128024
MUH
>>72127983
what needed to be explained in ootp? i havent read the book in a while but i think the film conveys everything needed, although ive been judging them as they are, so i mean as a film gets across the message and emotions the book offered, i think extremely well, the possession scene and in general the last hour is pretty good/great.
im sure they left out some things, but exposition isnt always the best. yates had a big task but his less is more approach and his directing did the book a solis, it got the tone
>>72127984
I wanted it to never exist because it was such a major plothole they had to put in the fact they all got destroyed by book 5.
>>72128024
reddit are only bookfags anyways, we are mostly discussing the films at least thats the main reason.
the actual reason is they were always good, they were a big deal for a reason. all but goblet of fire was pretty great. its well shot and made with good atmosphere because of the clmbo of cinematographers and directors. every film has a different feel yet they flow? they are also top tier comfy.
perfect for the summer, halloween or winter
>>72128073
Well what the flying fuck the prophecy was for starters. DD shows the whole thing, where he heard it and what it means in the book, in the film, you heard like half of one line and that's it.
I know OOTP was cut to shit though, the first version they cut was 3 hours long and they cut almost an hour out for the final version, to the point that it's the shortest film of the series (not counting DH Part 1) for the longest book.
>>72128122
Stop saying plothole if you don't know what that is.
>>72128165
They were a plothole.
Why did they exist but not ever used to fucking stop someone like Voldemort? Why did Voldemort not ever fucking get one?
Its the most powerful fucking thing in the universe yet its used so a fucking high schooler can take more classes?
Dude its garbage. Rowling did not think it through.
>>72128122
its not a plothole you dont understand the basic nature of the time turning in the film. see the novikov self consistency principle. it fits with the themes of harrys past present and future in the book and film and it goes along with the plot of buckbesk never dying and why harry cats a such a powerful patronus.
honestly the dilm is one of the best representations of time travel and it melds with the story. if you did get the time travel and you have another issue
REMEMBER the time turner being given to hermione to take extra classes, such powerful object to a booknerd is British humoe foremost. the wizards would really do something like that because the brits are insane?
>>72128201
I KNEW you were going to say that. As soon as you mentioned the time turner and "plothole" I knew "Here comes WELL Y DIDNT THEY GO BAK N KILL VOLDEMORT".
The same shit every time.
>>72128201
dude READ
read this
>>72128223
and in general read up on everything you domt even understand basic concepts.
1. you can only go. back in time in a loop nothing changes 5-6 hours
2. the time turner being given to hermione to take extra classes, such powerful object to a booknerd is British humoe foremost. the wizards would really do something like that because the brits are insane
you idiots always have the exact same two problems, theres the answer
>>72128201
They were explicitly shown to be unable to change the past, dumbass. You cannot use them to kill Voldemort unless Voldemort was already killed.
>>72128227
yep they are really stupid.
plus the time turner being given to hermione to take extra classes, such powerful object to a booknerd is British humor oremost. the wizards would really do something like that because the brits are insane
>>72127821
Well, in the books she was caught by Ron having 3 classes at once.
So lets say classes run for 8 hours a day, for 5 days a week, for a standard 40 week school year, she would have added 200 days to her school year, which is around 6 months
So I was wrong with 9-12, but at a theoretical maximum, she would have lived an extra 6 months that year.
Also on top of that, it's unlikely it was to that extent because she would have been exhausted living a single day 3 times over without sleep, unless she used the time turner to also sleep and rest.
>>72114194
You mean his abusive, wealthy family?
>>72128137
>Well what the flying fuck the prophecy was for starters.
i just watched it the other day. harry hears a good bit of it. he hears it for at least 15 seconds or so and it says about the one who will have power to vsnquish the dark lord, that he will be created as his equal ajd neither can live while the other survives. it explained fine by my sights and harry and Dumbledore discuss it more after the minsitry
>I know OOTP was cut to shit though, the first version they cut was 3 hours long and they cut almost an hour out for the final version, to the point that it's the shortest film of the series (not counting DH Part 1) for the longest book.
yea ive seem some of the deleted scenes and they wouldnt have added anything but a lot was cut indeed. i think the pacing is good though. the only bit im mad about is the brain scene because they filmed it but cut it, but it wouldnt have fit tone wise with the climax. a three hour film still would leave stuff out as not all extra stuff would be important. and it might not be as good and tight as a little over 2 hour film
Ironically once Harry left the Dursleys he became more and more of a spoiled and arrogant little shit as he got older. He also never really learned about hard work because almost everyone in the wizarding world was constantly fellating him and he was Dumbledore's favorite. Everything always fell into his lap without any effort of his own and he was always arrogant and condescending about it.
Meanwhile they mentioned that Dudley eventually started working out and became more mellow.
>>72128425
They never released much of the cut footage for OOTP, only like a couple of tiny deleted scenes. I know they cut a lot out of the Department of Mysteries (which sucks because the spooky as hell rooms in the books were the best part of OOTP) and the climax in general.
I found OOTP very choppy watching it, always like there's bits missing here and there. It needed to be at least twenty minutes longer.
>>72112246
Why are you even trying
>Dursleys
>abusive
He was fed, he was clothed, they didn't beat him. On his birthdays and Christmas he got gifts even if it was just clothes and shit. Eventually he got to move into Dudley's old room and even got some video games.
They never treated him like their own, but he could have been a lot worse off.
>>72128356
3 classes at once wouldnt be happening all the time though. she would only use the turner for 5-6 hours a day. thats why im low balling it.odk of their school day is 8 hours including breakfast and such or 6 hours of class time.
yea she would have been very exhausted. extremely. if she used the time turner to sleep and rest she would have been aging even more.
3-4 months sounds about right. thats a lot for their schedule
>>72127303

I thought the editor did a good job with the theatrical cut. he did all of yates films. of course i would want more especially in the ministry. shame i liked how yates was shooting everything inside the ministry at the end.
i didnt find it choppy but it moves along briskly once they get to school
>>72128549
Sorry I forgot to mention that 6 month was what I thought the maximum would be
Obviously she wouldn't be in 3 classes for the entire day.
A reasonable assumption maybe would be like you said, 2-4 months

if you are going to use kino at least realize what it represents. goblet has a mishmash of tone with standard cinematography and weird directing. sure it has a crazy atmosphere because newell is a maniac its consistent but thst doesnt mean its a better film or better kinos than cuarons or yates

implying the weasleys wouldn't simply reject any money he gave them out of pride. seriously why would harry want to treat them like a charity case?
also the twins got rich with their business and continued to do so after the war. they made enough to buy expensive dragon skin suits within a couple months of opening which is ridiculous profit from a start up joke shop.
ron became an auror which is a high pay job. and he married hermoine, the best wizard ever since Dumbledore she's only going to make more money
percy was a politician another high pay job,
charlie was that other one who trained dragons, probably also high pay.
ginny married harry so she gets half his shit anyways
with only one man working in the house they managed to pay the bills and clothe and feed 6 kids and harry, once their kids move out theyll have alot more money.

1
the only person who met the snake and had time to actually have a chance to fight it was harry, everyone else got paralysed the moment they saw it.
harry didnt even know of the killing curse therefore couldnt have used it
the killing curse requires skill and hate. you have to seriouslly focus hate against the thing you wanna kill. harry didnt hate the snake he was shit scared of it so even if he said the words nothin would happen.
2- because the wizarding world is inherently dangerous. if wizards took the same ideas on safety as muggles theyd all never use magic ever and act like us.
also nobody knew that the basilisk was down there, it was just an old legend. and the legend only said "a monster" nothing specific. they never even found the chamber til harry did.
3-its a medieval castle that is very very big, old and nobody even knows all of its secrets, nobody wants to go renovating it for fear of accidentally setting off a centuries old curse. besides the plumbing must work so why change it?
