>when yoi realize Harry Potter is one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises.
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.

It's because voldemort is an allegory for hitler, come on this is baby shit. Snape can be considered Russia.

>>83068735
On time, as usual.

>>83068735

> Atlas Shrugged

Fuck off.

I'll discuss that you're a fucking brainlet. All modern science fiction is you retard. Children know this, I bet you thought were so XD clever right Reddit. Kys

>>83068286
>>83068499
lol

A very shit metaphor to be sure

if you fools can even distinguish the charactor factions

if one of you AT LEAST can catagotize the charactors as

>allies
>axis
>other forces involved with labels
and
>three major events and what they allude to (goblet of fire games, etc.)

then i will consider you guys smart enough to argue this with me. i see these threads every day and nobody even can break the ice on the surface of the deepness of the movies. im really hoping you guys can do it im rooting for you. if you get it right ill respond to you and award you because im writing an extensive paper on this film series for my master's. good luck.

>you don't need images just try and explain.

>>83068997
Honestly kill yourself. Nobody gives a shit about babies first subtext.

>>83069074
you see this just proves my thesis more that you guys are just not smart enough to draw a few simple conclusions about any art on this board it's pathetic really.

this place used to be a great intellectual fountain of knowledge but now it's just bane posting and trolling.

>>83069186
XD upvoted!!!!!!!

>>83068218

>>83068218

>was i even close lmao

>>83069186
Hey OP you're right on the money nobody here discusses anything if they can't meme. Its cancer. There's a lot to analyze in HP in terms of metaphors and the filmmaking involved that nobody discusses. They think about the plot and not pottery

>>83069512
somewhat. you need two more events and ron is not what you say he is

>>83069512
Malfoy is Italy

>>83069383
All modern sci fi is ww2 allegories. But op presents it like it some intellectual feat. It's embarrassing.

Remember in 'Chamber Of Secrets', at the end, when Malfoy's dad almost Avada Kedavara'd Harry?

>>83071452

He was never right. He was just a guilt-ridden cuck that got used like a bitch by Dumbledore.
