>Villain of the first film wore a turban
How did Rowling get away with this
It was a different time.
>>85638219
That's not a turban, m8.
>villain of the first film was a fucking white male
that's how
>>85638226
It's also not familiar to any ethnic or religious group. It looks vaguely like a Sikh turban and I doubt those guys would give a fuck if you did this now even.
>Headmaster, I got a sharp pain in my scar during the Sorting Feast. Considering how and where I got this scar, it didn't seem like the sort of thing I should just ignore. I thought at first it was because of Professor Snape, but I followed the Baconian experimental method which is to find the conditions for both the presence and the absence of the phenomenon, and I've determined that my scar hurts if and only if I'm facing the back of Professor Quirrell's head, whatever's under his turban. While it could be something more innocuous, I think we should provisionally assume the worst, that it's You-Know-Who - wait, don't look so horrified, this is actually a priceless opportunity -
Holy SHIT, I knew he looked familiar.

White privilege.
>>85638359
Is that from that super autistic fanfiction?
>>85640791
Sorry that I am not constantly monitoring the front page for threads discussing one the dullest franchises 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.
>>85638359
He couldn't even fix his fucking glasses, he's not aware of the bacon experiments
>>85640862
I don't remember this scene
>>85638219
I think the story was that Quirrel had traveled around the world recently and the turban was an affectation he picked up during one of his travels.
>>85640957
>trying to slip Ayn Rand into the God tier at the end, as if no one will notice.
>>85641054
Isn't that 'cultural appropriation'?
>>85641126
It actually would be now, but in the early 00's it would have been seen as cultural awareness.
>>85638359
>11 year old kid
>Baconian experimental method
yeah fuck off
>>85638219
>>85638309
He was in fact a fucking white male trying to disguise himself as an innocent muslim man in order to do great evil.
Just like how the fucking white males in charge did 9/11 and then blamed the poor innocent muslims.
It was a false flag.
>>85641330
>tfw quirrel was an allegory to cia operations in the middle east, him wearing the turban is how cia operatives approach insurgencies and common people as charitable groups, but underneath the kind facade lies true evil, planting its seed deep into the system, hoping to bring it down for personal gain
wow rowling is WOKE AF
How do you go from this...
>>85641460
To this mutant cunt?
>>85641626
He looked great in Goblet of Fire, but then they made him more comical, possibly not to scare off children viewers.
>spend several books calling hermione a mudblood
>jk rowling says hermione is a black girl
just what did she mean by this?
>>85641460
>>85641626
>>85642044
Why did he lose the nose?
>>85642126
cuz he didn't want they to find out he was a wizard jew tricking them into the whole pure blood shit, it is the nazi all over again
>>85642126
The dark side of magic is a pathway to appearance some consider to be... unnatural.
>>85642252
why not just use magic to make himself look a bit better?
at least get some eyebrows
>>85642126
He's obviously the potter universe's Michael Jackson
>>85641626
There's a deleted scene where a mob of Pakis throw acid in his face
>>85642281
I don't know, maybe he liked looking that way.
>>85642126

>>85642252
>>85642317
It explains in the b00kz. I actually think in the first book he doesn't even have a nose. They're just described as "slits".
He was also a holocaust denier
>>85642413
basically this
he didn't even have a real body in the beginning, after he got fucked up by his own spell because of lily protection magic
he was pretty much dead however only alive because of the pieces of his souls hidden in the horcrux. i think he finally got his body back in book 4 when he tricked harry and what his name into the graveyard
>>85638359
Wasnt this the same fanfic where Quirrell fights Crabbe with karate?
>>85640862
Wtf I just kek'd! How did this scene get into the movie?
>>85640957
Thanks

the classic
>>85642126
Cuz every time he binds his soul to an object he loses some of his humanity and because the author is a woman, looks determine your personality and the loss of humanity is seen in his face.
>>85638219
Rowling is a massive SJW. If we called her out for this she'd definitely apoligise.
How will this aging harpy ever recover?

Did Raimi guest-write this scene?
>>85638359
> harry calling Voldemort you-know-who
How did the author of the fanfic not catch this mistake? Harry is one of two characters to use Voldemort's name prior to his return, everyone else except Dumbledore was too superstitious.
>race of slave elves
>Hermoine is portrayed as an annoying, culturally naive person for trying to free them
it was a different time
>>85638219
Fun fact: one of my high school English teachers was his friend in high school and apparently he got bullied a lot by everyone.
>>85643948
This pissed me off. Wizards have every fucking right o be superstitious about shit. Break a mirror? You probably pissed off a mirror ghost for the next 7 years. Black cat crosses your path? Nope, that was a fucking goblin marking you for death. And yet Dumbledore and Harry are shown as smart, brave heroes for using Volemort's name. AND THEN you find out that everyone was right all along, and saying 'Voldemort' is telling his cronies exactly where you are with a big flasshing magical sign. Goddamnit Dumbledore, how many people did you get killed with your fucking 'bravery'?
>>85644070
There were going to be unfortunate implications no matter which stance the characters took on that.
>>85644296
saying his name geo-locates you? when was this revealed in the book? damn
>>85644583

Your teacher sounds like a really good friend.

what did Warner Bros. mean by this?

jesus christ, was raimi on set that day?
>>85647272
They celebrate Christmas in HP so abrahamic religions must exist in that universe. Was Jesus just a wizard?

>movie franchises
True
>book franchises
False.
>>85644296
Isn't that the point though? They were sort of saying "come at me" baiting death eaters out of hiding.
>>85647531
That was the next step in his master plan, nigga didn't have time.
>>85644296
What does Voldemort even get out of this name shit? It's either Dumbledore/Harry or some dumb kid saying his name.
In the first case, well, he obviously fucking knows about them and if it's just some random kid why even bother with it?
>>85647456
Since they had that Yule Ball rather than Christmas Ball I'd say wizards celebrate Yule rather than Christmas. Which would make sense if wizards knew Jesus was a wizard and didn't worship him.
>le different dark arts teacher every movie
>>85648214
>what does the megalomaniac narcissist get out of everyone being too scared to even use his name
Truly a mystery for the ages, that.
>>85648214
Harry isn't some random kid. Voldemort had been trying to kill him for 16 years because of a prophecy. As for the rest, it's mostly members of the Order of the Phoenix who say his name, so it's a way to locate and kill them.
There's something so comfy about Richard Harris' Dumbledore
>>85648504
He actually looks like an old wizard. Gambon is a fat bearded homo, which is closer to what JKR intended.
>>85648504
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1c3EmrySSI
Gambon had three times as many movies yet never managed to make a single scene where his Dumbledore was anywhere near as good as this.
>that "Alas! Earwax" delivery
Literally perfect.
>>85643948
actually he calls him you-know-who most of the time in the first book because he knows people will freak out otherwise, it's only in the end of the book that dumby advices him to always use the real name
>>85640957
>"No!"
everytime
>>85640862
Truly a different time when this type of scene was allowed in a movie
>>85638359
Yeah... this is really bad.

>"[...] the only thing that really held me back from fantasizing about my own mother is that she just wasn't good looking enough."
I like this guy.
I really like the scene in the last movie where Harry is going to meet Voldemort in the forest, and Voldemort is there waiting for him, but Harry is taking too long and he says "I thought he would come." in an actual disappointing tone. If Harry and Voldemort are supposed to be connected in some way, that scene really portrayed it well, the understanding that Voldemort expects between them.
