So...

A character of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises having autism is secondary to the autism of all its fans. 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.

I knew it will be worse than HP movies, but not THAT bad. I considered leaving the cinema multiple times.

The books and by extension the films are targetting an audience about the range 11-18yo. Also, they were never meant to be literature masterworks. They just happened to be popular as Eragon and others did.
>trained to read Stephen King
I don't see the connection. HP is a series of books part of the same universe that progressively get darker themes as it proceeds. SK writes books that though can be said have similar styles, are different from each other.
How can someone this ugly be accepeted in cinema? I hated him in Miserables, he's painful to look at.
