Prisoner of Azkaban

Watching these movies back it's really apparent how often people just give Harry shit - things that are crucial to his survival or the progression of the plot. He never earns anything; instead he's handed everything by side characters. It's like he's getting collectibles in a game. It's bad writing.

His face effect looks like when he was being attacked by the dementors, but instead he is smiling and filled with joy - probably due to having a family member that loves him.

What do you want me to say?

>"Yes lad I am watching it on ITV. It's rainy here and it's adding to the comfieness. But we're already in the second half of the film now and it all gets pretty sirius (haha) from this point on. In fact I think the halfway point of Prisoner of Azkaban marks the tonal shift of the Harry Potter films"

That better?

>>84975845
I thought it was a metaphor for ejaculation. The very first scene of the movie alludes to masterbation. The entire movie is a metaphor for puberty with the final shot being the 'climax'.

>>84975866
It's alright. It tries to be 2 movies at once, and I don't think it works well. Colin Farrell is great in it, as is the baker and hot sister.
I'd say parts of it are comfy (the beast sections) but since it tries to be 2 movies, it also throws in some rather dark parts that don't really fit.

>>84975892
>PAL speedup

What?

>>84975953
http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php/PAL_Speedup

>PAL Speedup is a nasty side effect from the process of converting film into home video for European audiences. It results in distorted video. It is a widespread problem that is not sufficiently addressed in the Internet video community. In a nutshell, PAL Speedup is when a movie file plays slightly too fast, so it is shorter than it is supposed to be, and all the actor voices are slightly higher pitch than they should be. To some, it is not noticeable, while to others it is maddening. It is such a slight difference that it is right on the edge of human perception. Yet, if you notice it, then you don't like it.

>In Europe due to the oscillation of their electrical system frequency, they film movies at a different frame rate. Europe uses the PAL or SECAM video standards. For Europeans film destined for television are photographed at 25 frames per second. The PAL video standard broadcasts at 25 frames per second, so the transfer from film to video is clumsy. In this clumsy 2:2 pulldown, for every film frame, one video frame is captured. Theatrical features originally photographed at 24 frame/s are shown at 25 frame/s resulting in a 4% increase in playback speed. The increase causes a slightly noticeable increase in audio pitch by just over 0.679 semitones.

This movie sure was comfy alright, so comfy that I fell alseep and when I woke up I had watched one of the dullest franchises in history. 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.

How can you have watched it when you fell asleep?

One of the worst openings I've seen to these.

Apply yourself.

>>84976104

I really don't know maybe I never caught it on tv, also probably why I seen the first one so many times.

>>84976086
The movie that conveys a comfortable atmosphere. It makes you feel good when watching it. A 'comfy' movie has a lot to do with how good a film's world building is along with its sets and music. See the first 30 minutes of The Fellowship of the Ring.

Did any of you read the books? I only read the last one.

Emma Watson was at her peak in hotness in the azkaban movie. That's why everyone loves it even though it's a terrible movie and the dementors are flying jokes.

Early Potter is comfy

The whole universe is fucked tho, wizards powerlevels are all over the place and you got shit like >>84976581

Like, how powerful is Harry? By the end his most powerful attacks basically are just pistol shots.

>>84976827
The point is Harry isn't a great wizard

He has a knack for Defence Against the Dark Arts class and flying, but that's about it

He's distinctly average

>>84976824
Has she gotten way ugglier or have I got gayer?

>>84976845

>This movie is so comfy because of...

>Alfonso Cuarón had the idea that when the dementors approached the Hogwarts Express the rain would turn to ice. However, due to his thick Mexican accent the visual effects team misheard "ice" as "eyes". They went as far as to draft a storyboard which depicted eyes falling from the sky, which they presented to a stunned Cuarón, who instantly corrected their mistake.

Should've kept it.

>>84976581
Rowling's world building is absolute trash. It's all about the coolness factor but absolutely falls through if you try to examine the world as a whole. And she's still on twitter making it worse for herself

>>84976867
dude she has cottage cheese legs and wonky tits

YOU'RE WIZARDS

WEAR YOUR DAMN ROBES

>>84975866
It's good.

I might be biased though because I watched it immediately after HP8 (which was awful)

>>84976581
Time travel is limited to 5 hours in the main series

The play does away with this though when it introduces Voldemort and Bellatrix's rape baby on a mission to go back and save her father

>>84976845
Then how does he become head of the Aurors, one of the most powerful wizards in Britain

Deathly Hallows Part 1 is the best film. We all agree on this right? A slow-burner character study that does away with dumb plot tools but instead focuses on the characters.

>>84975432
ay someone was watching ITV this morning

>>84976022
The Cursed Child doesn't even use Time Turners in the same way as the actual books. There's a reason it's been called nonsensical fan-fiction.

Isn't that the one that had Harry and Hermione slow-dancing for no reason other than to tease the shippers?

>>84975986
>if I pull that soul out, will you die?

>>84977324
I was reading on imdb that Cuaron allowed each of the cast to wear their robes and uniform however they liked, which I thought was a good idea because it makes Hogwarts feel more like a lived in school. But I didn't like that that there were so many scenes when they're not in their robes. I think in PoA there's at least the excuse that, I think, they were on a school trip for the final act of the movie which is why they were in casual clothes. But it was something that became more prevalent in the latter movies and it really killed the atmosphere.

Utter shit. Take the music and the castle out of these movies and it illustrates how flat most of the other stuff is.

Why don't they just make a TV show so they can actually focus on the school stuff a bit?

>>84978118
It's fine if the trashy half-blood kids wear normie clothes sometimes, but a wizard supremacist tit like Draco shouldn't be caught dead wearing anything but robes.

>>84978174
I'm sure they will. There's too much potential for them not to, considering it could be about literally anything and at any point in the school's history. The only way they could fuck it up is if they try to tie it in to the Harry Potter storylines and central existing characters.

>>84976845
Harry's a talented but lazy wizard.

You want to slap him and Ron upside the head for being so fucking lazy about doing their wizard homework.

>>84978396
I was actually thinking of them doing the film series over as TV and just decompressing it. Show more than 5 minutes per book of them actually attending classes and learning magic.

>>84978407
Yup, why would not want to do your very best and learn as much magic as possible?

Especially for Harry who had such a miserable existence at the Dursleys

There's like 6 individual classroom scenes in PoA. Really adds to the comfy.

is chamber just the weakest one?

Everything after Goblet of Fire is a blurry mess for me. I don't think it's a great movie but GoF does have memorable scenes, in my opinion, like the quidditch World Cup, the dance and the maze. I couldn't tell you anything that happens in OotP.

>>84978826
>I couldn't tell you anything that happens in OotP.

The bad guys turn into black smoke and the good guys turn into white smoke. And they can all fly around this way without brooms even though Voldy being able to fly without a broom was supposed to be a big deal.

>>84978814
Chamber is the least liked on but is secretly the second best movie after Azkaban. It's got that Columbus atmosphere just with a darker tone.

He's got to be a relative jerk or, at the very least, people need to think he's capable of doing evil, menacing things in order to keep his cover. Some of it is his actual personality; however, he knows not to actually side with Voldy when it really counts. He's in very deep cover.

>The very first scene of the movie alludes to masterbation.
Exactly. I keep saying this but people often shoot me down saying it alludes to staying up reading/playing video games when you should be in bed, and that masturbation would never be alluded to in a HP film.
But obviously it was a masturbation reference. He's 13. Under his duvet. With a light. Every single 12-16-year-old who went to see Prisoner of Azkaban at the cinema with their parents had a slight moment of panic at that opening scene. It's subtle, but very good.

It was way better than I thought it would be. I went in with quite low expectations and was pleasantly surprised.

When I first heard about it I thought it would be a lazy cash-in. I thought HP should have nothing to do with 1920's America. And the plot about a British wizard losing some magical creatures sounded bland.

But then I saw it and loved it to bits. The characters and their interactions were great, the simple plot turned out to be just a set-up for much larger things to happen, and somehow (and this was very important to me) they managed to keep the magical feeling of the original HP films in. I walked out of the cinema already counting down the days until the next one.
It had some very funny moments, good references to the source material without being all in-your-face, and interesting hints about the greater plot of the films to come. Special effects were also great but without resorting to Michael Bay style over-indulgence.
Magical, funny, capturing and endearing. After the complete fuck-up that was The Cursed Child, this was amazing and gave me hope for the future.

>>84981467
Rowling needed to set more rules for her universe from the start. A lot of it feels like she was just making shit up on the go. Like the cloak, the time turner or the fucked up quiditch rules.

>>84981696
This is the most irritating aspect of fantasy desu, when in-universe laws are broken or not established at all.

>>84981408
Invisibility cloaks are rare and highly difficult to create, there's not just one in the world. CrouchMoody uses one in Goblet of Fire and Aurors use them too. Invisibility cloaks are just very hard to create and their effects wear off after frequent usage, they are also vulnerable to scratches and slashes (so walking through a dense forest would damage the cloth and those holes in the fabric would expose that part of the wearer).

The fact that Harry's personal cloak turned out to be a legendary items was slightly lazy I agree. But it's a family heirloom handed down through multiple generations. It's different from your standard invisibility cloak.
It also (and this isn't mentioned in the books except for one line about Ron's exposed ankle one time) somehow hides three 11-year-olds just a perfectly as three 17-year-olds despite being a single cloak designed for one adult human.
So yes, lazy, or rather, convenient writing. But it's not the only invisibility cloak.

>>84981408
>>84981467
>>84981957

Its hilarious that people try to defend this

Its so obvious that it started out as some kind of luxury item and only got changed to being legendary as an afterthought

>>84982041
The hallows in general were lazy shit

>>84981408
It's supposed to be the only invisibility cloak that lasts so long.
Given the fact that nobody questions how long it's lasted up until deathly hallows, including some people who have been aware of it for 30 years or more, it's still an asspull.

Did the colour scheme really have to get darker with every movie? It seems like such a lazy way to inform the audience that the tone of the respective movies would be darker. It stops me from rewatching the later films.

>>84982475
They made their own Hogwarts express

I haven't seen Philosopher's Stone in a long time and never read the early books. I've forgotten, why was Harry rich? He had a shitload of gold in his bank vault. Were his parents rich?

>>84982626
they were exceptionally rich from collecting bounties on death eaters, and died before the war ended so couldn't spend it

>>84975432
This is why its comfy.

>>84982626
Yes, the question is why does gold based currency have any value to wizards who can cast spells to make themselves shit diamonds if they wanted to

>>84982677
It's goblin gold, they can tell what's fake and what's not and human wizards can't conjure it because goblin magic

>>84982041
>>84982082
Nah, I'm with you. It's lazy writing and the cloak being legendary and perfect was pulled out her ass at the last moment, like most of Deathly Hallows.
I was just pointing out that invisibility cloaks were around and used.

>>84982695
What is the difference between goblin gold and normal gold

Even IF we assume that a magically conjured gold brick is somehow identifiable as fake

What is to stop a wizard from going to a muggle and selling them conjured goods for currency, and exchanging muggle money for gold?

If not just using magic to rob a muggle vault?

>>84982626
I never understood why his parents were so rich seeing as they were 21 when they died and were in hiding. But then Deathly Hallows reveals that the Potters are descendants of the Peverells. So James Potter was just living off a huge inheritance passed down for generations.

>>84982794
>What is the difference between goblin gold and normal gold
No idea, I'm not a goblin

>Even IF we assume that a magically conjured gold brick is somehow identifiable as fake
Goblins were shown to be able to identify fakes of magical stuff

>What is to stop a wizard from going to a muggle and selling them conjured goods for currency, and exchanging muggle money for gold?

The Ministry Department of Muggle Affiars, or whatever it was called. Presumably they have some power to punish Wizards who cross the line abusing muggles.

>If not just using magic to rob a muggle vault?
See above

>>84982626
We never actually find out how his parents made their money.
I'm sure there's some staggeringly retarded explanation up on Pottermore, that raises far more questions than it answers.

The problem there is that Wizards seem to be genuinely retarded when it comes to economic matters.
They'd probably come down on someone who royally fucked up the economy for a laugh, or someone who brainwashed people into giving them money, but there are thousands of ways any halfway decent wizard/witch could make a mint with very little effort.

>>84982888
>I'm sure there's some staggeringly retarded explanation up on Pottermore

Indeed there is

>In the Muggle world ‘Potter’ is an occupational surname, meaning a man who creates pottery. The wizarding family of Potters descends from the twelfth-century wizard Linfred of Stinchcombe, a locally well-beloved and eccentric man, whose nickname, ‘the Potterer’, became corrupted in time to ‘Potter’. Linfred was a vague and absent-minded fellow whose Muggle neighbours often called upon his medicinal services. None of them realised that Linfred’s wonderful cures for pox and ague were magical; they all thought him a harmless and lovable old chap, pottering about in his garden with all his funny plants. His reputation as a well-meaning eccentric served Linfred well, for behind closed doors he was able to continue the series of experiments that laid the foundation of the Potter family’s fortune. Historians credit Linfred as the originator of a number of remedies that evolved into potions still used to this day, including Skele-gro and Pepperup Potion. His sales of such cures to fellow witches and wizards enabled him to leave a significant pile of gold to each of his seven children upon his death.

>Henry’s son was called Fleamont Potter. Fleamont was so called because it was the dying wish of Henry’s mother that he perpetuate her maiden name, which would otherwise die out. It was Fleamont who took the family gold and quadrupled it, by creating magical Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion ( ‘two drops tames even the most bothersome barnet’ ). He sold the company at a vast profit when he retired, but no amount of riches could compensate him or his wife Euphemia for their childlessness. They had quite given up hope of a son or daughter when, to their shock and surprise, Euphemia found that she was pregnant and their beloved boy, James, was born.

Prisoner of Azkaban sucks because it didn't have Harry defeating Voldemort like in the previous moviesand in the end Harry even says himself "what was the point of it all."
At least this is why the movie felt so underwhelming to me when I was a kid and I've never been able to shake that discontent away even though it's apparently supposed to be the best of the series.

6 7 8 are great as a trilogy (they were all made after the books came out) as are 1 2 3 , watch the extendeds of 1 2 though.

>>84975652
Plotfah plebs are insufferable he's the most famous well known wizard and he's famous for killing a dark lord as a kid and an orphan. People felt obligated to give him shit he's harry potter the boy who lived.

>>84984337
Well love potions basically make the person who drinks it fall in love with you and lust after your cock. It's kinda rapey.
Dumbledore actually makes a point about how Voldemort was born from a woman who used a love potion to make a man love her and says that the fact that Voldemort was born from such a relationship explains his complete lack of the notion of "love".

>>84986100
The sad part is that the death scene is literally the only part I even remember being in 3D. It was such a fucking useless addition that was only memorable at the one moment that shouldn't have had a big 3D spectacle. Voldy dying like any other man was pretty damn important.

I'll also always blame HP for making the whole split-the-last-book-into-two-parts-because-money bullshit become a thing.

No idea why they ended up being so shit, then, either. The final scenes of the last movie were awful and made me want to leave the theatre.

It's never brought up. Like I said the overall details are so fucked up. I mean it's possible, the story skips months at a time to the point where you don't quite ever get an image of their day-to-day lives and schedules or even the complete scale of the place. Number of students, faculty, etc. There could be "more" that's never brought up at all. Now that I think about it, doesnt book 3 actually list their classes, and doesn't several list the textbooks they buy before the school year? Isn't it usually just seven or six classes a year?

It pisses me off how lazy these fucking movies are.

Because the only hint we get (outside of Pottermore shit which probably shouldn't be considered canon anyway) about ghosts are "you need to dedicate your life to it lol".
Rowling actually believes that we're stupid enough to think Moaning Myrtle, who was like 13 at the time, "walked the path" to be a spooky ghost.
Voldemort - who wanted to live forever - didn't do this for some reason, whatever.

>>84987965
>Rowling actually believes that we're stupid enough to think Moaning Myrtle, who was like 13 at the time, "walked the path" to be a spooky ghost.

I thought she pretty much got an order from Hogwarts on her death bed that she had to choose ghost to protect the Chamber of Secrets? At 13 there's no way she planned on being a ghost (or was skilled enough if even someone like Snape didn't come back as a ghost when it would've been useful, though perhaps he needed to go buttfuck Dumbledore in Wizard Heaven).

>>84987955
Oh, gotcha. In that case he should've tried transmogrifying into something amortal like a poltergeist.

>>84988177
Myrtle died instantly, Anon. Basilisk stare just blows you the fuck out. It even "kills" a ghost.
The rules of ghosts are only expanded upon in Order of the Phoenix when fans would obviously ask "Why isn't Sirius a ghost?"

>>84988240
The original justification for ghosts worked just fine: People who died suddenly or violently and weren't willing to move on to the afterlife. That works just as well for a bratty teenager as a nobleman on the chopping block.

>>84988289
Yeah but Rowling is a bad writer and decided that ghosts need rules.
You need to WANT to be a ghost, for some reason.
Of course this completely breaks many things in the series, but Rowling apparently doesn't give a single shit.
Still, I could see why Voldemort wouldn't want to be a ghost, as he wouldn't be powerful in any way in that form. That's at least consistent with his character (even if written accidentally).

>>84987845
Seriously if I ever wrote shit like this I'd work out the basic logistics from day one, sketch a map of the place just so I know everything is coherent enough.

Harry never wonders about wizards outside the UK until book four. It's never brought up once, no one ever said anything in passing to him about them; even though Ron took a vacation to Egypt. Given the size of hogwarts, there'd have to be at least one other school in the UK to facilitate the size of the ministry of magic. None are ever mentioned and it always seems to be taken for granted Hogwarts is the only one in existence in The UK

>>84986100
>>84986357
Voldemort's death scene was done terribly. I'm now even more pissed off knowing that they filmed a version where he just slumped over like in the books. That was the whole point, he was mortal now, he died like any other man. Defeated, slumped over, dead on the ground.

Same shit with Bellatrix. Ruined one of my favourite scenes with Molly going bad-ass and showing off her protective nature for her family and duels Bellatrix when she tried to kill Ginny. NOT MY DAUGHTER YOU BITCH would've been absolute kino if Bellatrix just keeled over and died instead of fucking exploding for no reason at all. I don't even think there was a 3D effect on that one so what was the fucking point?

>>84983014

Hogwarts is the only Wizarding school until book 4.
This is because Rowling is a fucking liar when she says "I planned it all out." She clearly wrote off the seat of her pants.

To be fair this is coming from Hagrid who is biased and stupid.

>>84987845

>>84988404
I always assumed Harry's generation was artificially low because he was born during Voldemort's reign. Except for that Weasley slut people just weren't making kids like they used to when they feared Voldemort might kill them or use their children as bait at any moment. There's only a handful of students that actually have any siblings(the paki twins obviously don't count), with most of the other ones probably being surprise babies that they decided to keep despite the danger, or they'd only risk having one.

Since Voldemort disappeared after Harry was born you'd expect the next year or so to also have fewer students before there's a slight uptick as people start feeling more secure. But even then plenty of deatheaters obviously escaped and there was no body to show so people couldn't be sure Voldemort was really dead either so people wouldn't instantaneously feel safe again. So Harry would be out of Hogwarts before you saw a real increase in the number of kids.

It'd be an easy thing for Hogwarts to simply scale back the number of teachers and whatnot to accommodate the fall in attendance, and then once Harry's generation starts having kids the place will fill up again and the giant castle won't seem as deserted.

I know it's a kids book originally but when I read it (as a teen) until book 5 even then I couldn't get over how incoherent it all was. As opposed to say LotR or even the fucking Discoworld series everything just gets made up as you go. I'm not even talking something like between book 1 and 4 but you literally realize Rowling makes up the universe page by page and either disregards or lazily omits previous contradictions.

>>84988404
>Seriously if I ever wrote shit like this I'd work out the basic logistics from day one, sketch a map of the place just so I know everything is coherent enough.

You have to be careful with this though. There's so many stories of wannabe fantasy writers that spend all their time pouring over world building and rules. By the time they get to creating a narrative, their autism has overtaken them, the creative spark is gone and they struggle to unpick all the shit they've already established. They become bogged down by their own rules. I agree that JK definitely needed a bit more prep work but her creative spark was clearly coming from discovering new things about her world as she went along. I think Tolkien struck the right balance when he, if I'm not mistaken, wrote The Hobbit with a basic idea of his universe and then really dived into the lore and world before creating the LOTR.

>This is because Rowling is a fucking liar when she says "I planned it all out."
This. So much this. I have no idea why she keeps up this obvious lie that every single thing was planned out.
I'm sure she had a vague idea of a general storyline and what happens in each book
Stone: Introduction of setting and plot/antagonist
Secrets: More exposition, raise mudblood/racism point
Azkaban: Dive deeper into Harry's parents
Goblet: Tournament Arc, Voldemort resurrects
Phoenix: Ministry denies resurrection, try to control Hogwarts, Harry starts underground movement
Prince: Explain Horcruxes, focus on romantic antics of puberty
Hallows: Quest for Horcruxes

I'll give her that, AT BEST. But all these rules of magic, European Magical Schools etc, clearly written as she wrote, not planned from the start. I kinda doubt the Horcrux thing was planned from the beginning as well.

Also people like to point out all those awesome Chekhov's Gun moments like that necklace they dusted in 5 was a horcrux all along. While that's obviously Rowling flicking through her older books trying to find something she can use.

>Stone: Introduction of setting and plot/antagonist
>Secrets: More exposition, raise mudblood/racism point
>Azkaban: Dive deeper into Harry's parents
>Goblet: Tournament Arc, Voldemort resurrects
>Phoenix: Ministry denies resurrection, try to control Hogwarts, Harry starts underground movement
>Prince: Explain Horcruxes, focus on romantic antics of puberty
>Hallows: Quest for Horcruxes
I really think you're giving too much credit here. I think there wasn't really much backstory to anything at all until she mentioned it. Let alone the horcruxes, I think it's just something that gives the main story enough flexibility to make it up as you go and prevents more forced endgame showdowns.

Also notice how nothing in the HP universe background stories / lore has any interconnection at all. It's all just "yeah there was this guy in the middle ages" and then this item/school/spell/animal/person/place/continent/super important tournament/backstory/fundamental of magic isn't mentioned, acknowledged or used BY ANYONE until right before it's convenient for the plotline when suddenly everyone was aware of it like it's the most normal thing. Gaslighting: the universe

>DUDE Lord of the Rings has a cave troll, I'll put one in my book too LMAO
>fuck it I want a giant spider as well, let's call it Aragorn LMAO; maybe that's too obvious, Aragog then
>DUDE those ring wraiths are cool, I'll use them; they can hunt Sirius just like they hunt Frodo LMAO
>Sauron poured his evil into the ring and he can't die as long as it still exists? What if he had seven rings LMAO. I'll call them horcruxes.

Don't listen to people saying it was good at all.
>lead character acts like a legit autist for the entire length of the movie, avoids eye contact, constant mumbling
>jew ministry lady randomly decides to stalk an autist: the movie
>awkward and boring throughout
>not even comfy
The main series movies have their plot problems but they're still very enjoyable. This was an insufferable cash grab at best with a terrible script and awful acting.

>>84988880
Tolkien only managed to do what he did because he was an actual professor. Your average writer is just some schmuck who is good at putting words on the page so when they try to do what he did they botch the whole thing, because they don't have the years of background work and literary training that make it possible to put it together after you've gone autistic.

It's kind of like Tom Clancy vs. the people aping Tom Clancy.

>here's a secret map LMAO
Why DID the Weasley twins hand off their map to Harry instead of Ron, if they were going to hand it off to anyone? I can't even remember the reasoning, beyond it being Harry who found it in Filch's office. Why just give it to him when they were the ones always pulling pranks and needing it every day?

Those bastards really did have it in for Ron. Wouldn't even pass down the one cool thing he could have had at Hogwarts.

>>84989297
It's about how he acquires all his stuff. It's never through discovery or ingenuity. I realise that Harry wasn't supposed be the most intelligent wizard but it becomes really tiresome when everyone's just handing him extremely important stuff right before he needs it. In Azkaban he's just walking outside under his cloak when George and Fred grab him so they can give him the marauder's map. It's boring writing.

>>84989476
Ron's a pussy, Harry was the cool younger brother they always wanted

The more important question is why they saw Ron sleeping next to some guy called Peter for years and never said anything

>>84989487
Stop being a plot babby and talking about a weakness of the book. It isn't a weakness of the film batshit things are constantly happening to harry you are just upset. Watch for the tone and atmsophere.

>>84989562
he was sentenced for 2 years for acting like a nigger

Is Harry trans?
Someone should ask JK this

>>84989600
>watching your brother sleep

When you have that kind of item there's some ground-rules you need to set. One is not spying on your little brother at night for no good reason. Besides, they were too busy checking to see that Snape or someone wasn't around the kitchen or wherever they'd made plans to meet up with some chicks at night. Why would they check for the dormitories?

>>84989400
He is what I imagine every brit north of London to look like.

>>84987747
You are legit retarded. Like rifftrax star wars rlm retarded. They are all good and after 1 2 are in fact great movies all around in how they were produced. And it's a fantasy wizard dystopia stop being offended.

Enjoyable thread lads.

>>84989623
Let me guess, Azkaban is the best one because muh tone muh atmosphere muh colour filter. Meanwhile the parts like Sirius growling at Harry for literally no reason at the start, and the playground being all spooky moving on its own again for no reason, is disregarded as being plotbabby problems.

pls giv (yous)

Anyone have pics of people tweeting plotholes to Rowling and her explanations? I know there's tonnes of them.

I mean, it shows some dedication to try and make up a far-fetched explanation for a glaring plothole but I think she'd show more balls if she would just be honest and admit that the series wasn't planned out letter by letter from the very start.

>>84990248
What about images of her trying to score liberal brownie points by agreeing that Hermione could be black and all that

w-where?

>>84990300
someone also tweeted a scene to here with "Hermione's brown hair curled around her pale white face" or something.

It's really amazing how she can just forget that herself. Or how she think she can salvage all this incoherences with a twitter account

>>84990413
How many of the characters would be white if she wrote Harry Potter today?
Voldemort and all the other bad guys probably.

>>84990248
>Ron overheard Harry speaking Parceltongue in year 2 and remembered it really well because it could come in handy, that's why he could open the Chamber of Secrets to get the Basilisk fang

wtf you filthy cis scum?
she has always intended hermoninnie to be a strong black womyn from the very beginning!
when you hear that two regular dentists gave birth to the smartest witch in recent history and who attends a school that is 99% white, doesnt that immediatly conjure up an image of a strong black girl?

Hermione being a super smart Mary Sue is something her fans and the movies came up with.

She was always supposed to be a snotty precocious tryhard. Often knowledgeable but frequently wrong and with an ego too big to admit it.

>>84990560
DUDE WEED LMAO

>>84990413
in her early notes she actually had a token black kid that was suppose to be one of the main characters. his name was gary or something stupid

>>84990495
wait wasn't that something super rare and genetic? in book 2 they say only voldemort, harry and a handful of people EVER could speak it

>>84990585
Wasn't there something like she got all of Ron's positive sides and Ron just became a non-character in the movies?

>>84990248
I don't think there'd be sham in admitting that either. It's weird to keep up the pretence.

>>84990704
I mean her ego has got to be a bit inflated since Tumblr treats HP as the peak of literature.

On the flip side she's probably reasonably concerned that if she ever said "chill out it's just a story god damn" it'll piss off a bunch of mentally unstable people who would respond with "fuck you Rowling you ruined my manchildhood!"

Anyone want a comfy 2001 Rowling/HP BBC documentary?
