Your expectations are exceedingly-low. You're quite easily pleased. Everybody's different, of course, so there's no logical reason to chastise you as such for that, but you were still brought to tears by 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.

How many died?

I swear it seemed way bigger in the 2nd movie.

because you're a stunted child so "losing a pet" the horizon of your experience of grief.

Why doesn't the wizarding community live in the sky or have a moon base?

Too pure for this world.

That would mean he is a victim of a capitalist society, which is impossible because our current society is the pinnacle of human development, morally, technologically, and politically. So therefore you must be wrong.

Or because there is a deep sadness at the loss of an innocent yet misunderstood beast. Hagrid and the spider relate deeply on this level, as kind beings outcast by a society that can't look further than appearance. The two share an unspoken bond between man and beast both suffering under the condition of life, and the loss of that represents the loss of understanding companionship.
