Yeah, she's great, not as good as my favorite author, Stephen King though.

Nah Harry Potter is actually 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 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 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

And how is JK a shit writer? Like I said, you clearly don't read books.

Harry Potter manages to make magic look so dull and boring.

I watched the films when I was little and found it nothing special.

I'd say high. Definitely helps that it directly influenced Apocalypse Now.

The books are good. But they are childrens'->YA books, so it's probably too late for you.

In any case, you're not missing much.

>It's too late to read a book

My gf and I attempted to watch them all. We watched the first one last weekend. It was trash. We watched 20 minutes of the second one and we gave up. Theyre garbage.

>>79107246

Don't insult Yudkowsky-sama.

>>79107246
Pretty good desu. They trigger /tv/ so that's a plus.

The first two are boring as shit because they're straight children's movies. The fourth is just a bad film in general. But three was probably one of the best movies of the year it came out and has beautiful cinematography. Most people just judge the movies on the first two.

The first two are garbage, but they're kids flicks

Prisoner of Azkaban is where the series takes off, with the only misstep coming from Order of the Phoenix
