Adulthood is realizing that 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.

I'd say the worst book goes to Order of the Phoenix, it's just unnecessarily long

>>83852226
>Worst book
HBP is one of the better books, Harry is less hormonal idiot, actual consequences, and we learn more about Voldemorts backstory.

>>83851855

What if you think they're all kinda shit.

Like I can get liking the first couple because they're nice and bright and kiddie but then it gets delusions of maturity and all goes downhill.

>David Yates
>kino

The first two feel much different than the rest of the movies. If you liked those two because they were light school adventures than skip the rest.

>>83852761
first two are ass
3 is cuaronkino
the rest are yates

>>83851855
HBP had the best cinematography, best story,
consequences and stuff happening..
also he book is my favorite too.. its like everythings changed from the last 4..snape become defense against DA is what started me off that this book was gonna be goood

>>83852015
The Great Gatsby is the most overrated piece of socialite wankery soap opera shit there is in English language literature. I'd rather be forced to read trough the entirety of The Wheel of Filler and A Song of Writer's and Block than having to endure said trash ever again

>this meme again
just let people like harry potter

>>83852761
First two are comfy and warm.
#3 is a bit darker but probably the most fun out of the series
#4 is just plain gloomy and no fun but for whatever reason its my favorite
#5 is boring and nobody remembers it
#6 is the last fun one they did
#7 and #8 are awful and should've just been one movie

I can't believe they split the last book in two films and did not even TOUCH on Dumbledore's story and deceit in 6 hours of runtime

>>83853485
Harry Potter isn't literature
