He got kicked out of Hogwarts before he could take any exams. He's a wizard but a shit one because he's dense, half giant and has a 13 year old level of education.

In the books it was stated that he got kicked out in his 3rd year but Dumbledore let him stay as the gamekeeper

Because she's the author of 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

Why do people hate it?

I would have thought 4chan would love it since it's about a white couple and harkens back to le glorious 50s.

It's just a crappily written and sung and acted movie

You do realize their complaints aren't with the quality but that there aren't enough POC in it?

Because of Viggo Mortensen. Anyone else as Aragorn would have destroyed the entire film.

Also they're movies made with pure love and respect for the subject matter. That's why The Hobbit was shit, because Jackson didn't want anything to do with them and literally got forced into it.

I could care less if this good movie distances itself entirely from that pile of shit novel

why don't you watch your containment miniseries

>>78969241
It's almost like the movie has a different message to the novel

I don't know Disney's end-game. They push all this progressive cancer in all their films but are also hyper-capitalistic. Is this the age of the progressive capitalists? I know liberals in general are more focused on WHITE PATRIARCHY than corporations fucking them in the ass.

And that's why corporations have embraced progressivism. It's simple supply and demand. I know /pol/ likes to meme about the liberal jew marxist agenda and all, but corporations are amoral, they love money. They're not pushing an agenda as much as pandering to demographics.

does it really trigger you whiteys to see your women pick us over you?

How do I tell what's art and what's dishonest garbage?

I do I know if something's tryhard or genuinely 2deep4me?

How do I improve my cinematic IQ?

Both are shit

There's a point at which something tries and either becomes (a) cool or (b) pretentious.

The worst Rowling movie is better than the best DC movie so far.

J.K. Rowling gives them money and good reviews + satisfied fans.

James.
Doug has a lot of the "Greatest films" on his list that I guarantee are only there because he feels like they have to be.

It's funny and clever. It's nothing like TBBT at all.

I preferred Futurama tho
