As much as I'd like to attempt to, I can't prove you wrong with regard to 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 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.

You know while your pic is kind of shit I agree with your synopsis on HP. It really is a dull and shit franchise full of asspull and plothe holes. Why does voldermort need the elder wand, why did he make a fucking snake a horcrux, why wasn't Pettigrew on the marauder's map, how does a witch almost starve to death? It's all shit.

I never said he was wrong he's just mainly talking about the books and posts a pic of shit high school english books which would undermine his argument if he made a bad one but what he's mostly talking about belongs on

>>80714939
it was the HP that changed the tone of the series from lighthearted fun with a touch of mystery/evil to depressing realism with occasional fun moments and plebbit loves its gritty realism with childish characters

Hey /azkaban, go back to /r/watson

Idiot, it's the best of the lot. Most emotional, best imagery, not as episodic, and with the best character development.

Five was one of the worst.
Pretty much 90% of it is filler.
