Why couldn't you write the series for children based in a country where you have to have ID proving you're 18+ just to buy cutlery??

Why didn't lord moldybutt just avada kedavra harry potter at the started of the 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.

guns are banned in England. How fucking stupid are you OP?
>>
>>85785935
1. Firearms are difficult to obtain in the United Kingdom, doubly so for Wizards, who likely have no real legal documents backing up their existence in the first place. On top of this, underage Wizards can't do magic without getting in trouble, so they couldn't use magic to obtain said firearm
2. Voldemort is never out in the open. He generally keeps his location a guarded secret unless he is at full power, and sends the Deatheaters and other minions to do things for him so as not to risk exposure when he can't properly defend himself
3. Any situation in which the Characters find themselves facing the Dark Lord, he know they are there, and can easily prepare defenses for any attack.
4. Possibly the most important, Voldemort's soul has been divided and placed into a number of horocrux items that must be destroyed (via magic), before he can be killed. Each of these items must be located, often in an extremely dangerous and hidden location, and destroyed at great cost. Shooting Voldemort before destroying the horocrux's would merely weaken him.

Wizards are confused by any muggle technology past the 1600's, which largely has to do with the International Statute of Secrecy, in which the Wizarding world voluntarily decided to completely remove itself from muggle society. Wizards have their own towns, their own schools, their own government, everything. It would literally never occur to a Wizard to make a firearm because he can theoretically just zap shit dead or incapacitated with his wand in a nanosecond, assuming the other party didn't have a chance to block. Now, a wizards raised in muggle society would still probably understand to some degree how a firearm works, and might even see the purpose in using one, but no Wizard is going to have the machining skills, the metallurgical skills, or the chemical know-how, to just go out in their shed in and make a firearm; in the same vein that some African bush-man isn't going to just go build an AK out of the blue with no training. He may know what a firearm is, and how it works, but the bush-man lacks the pre-exsisting industry and tradition to produce such a technologically complex piece of machinery.

Why didn't they side with Voldemort and kill Harry and all the non-magic shitstains? Voldemort did nothing wrong, magic must be preserved.

They should redo this series on HBO (as it's owned by WB).

Could fix some mistakes from the books, not have the same visual continuity problems that the movies had, and you'd be able to fully adapt the books and even add some background shit.

The books would do better as a TV show.

Most books do better as TV shows vs Movies.

Because the best it could do is destroy his body, as long as he has his horcruxes he could recover from it.

Also, chances are powerful wizards have some permanent protection spells in power for that sort of thing.

Yeah, they can make Hermione black like Rowling originally intended

No they wouldn't because tv shows are all shit. HBO can't even do got. Wow you don't even get the purpose of filmmaking. If you film something verbatim it is nothing. Go read the book if you want the book reddit

So, why didn't they use it on Harry?

>>85790729
Fuck off with your film blullshit you pretentious faggot.

TV shows based on books are better than the movies. Because movies are limited severly by their length.

HBO only within the last two years have been fucking up GOT, the years where they no longer have a book to adapt from.

Pride.
Voldemort is not gonna use cheap tactics. Remember when in the graveyard he simply could have Avadakedavra'd Harry but he instead wanted them to have an old fashioned duel with bowing etc.
He surely when Harry was an infant simply could have used KNIFIO STABBIO but that is a plot hole that is always introduced when magic and stuf is involved
>>
>>85790768

Was Harry ever in any particular danger of being shot?
>>
>>85790446
the true love charm was basically a spell deflect and he avada kedavra'd the baby so it hit him and destroyed that piece of his soul

As opposed to a country where they would have been arrested in the second book for drinking butterbeer before turning 21 (twenty one years old)?

Or how about a place where Harry gets the death penalty for kissing a chink under 18 years of age?

Why didnt voldermorty just conquer the human plane of existence? Then the wizards wouldnt give a fuck

>>85793150
No. It's called putting a space between your quote and my comment you fucktard. The state of /tv/ is ruined by you pretentious cunts, who hate everything popular or even remotely mainstream. If it's not some unheard of french cinema then it's shit. Do the world of favor and neck yourself.
>>
>>85793150
King's TV shows have almost always been shit since he's a horror writer, but his shit ends up airing on family TV, so all the horror shit is removed.

That's a lot of assuming. No I just hate plebs like you that actually talk about tv shows fuck off back to www.reddit.com
