Did you really expect anything else from the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip? 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.

Most of the DEs didn't trust Snape and told Voldemort not to trust him.

But he kept proving himself useful while all the rest of them kept fucking up.

Cause after Voldemort came back snape went to him and told him he was only pretending to be dumbledores double agent. Snape was a master of occlumency (preventing people from reading your mind) because muh unrequited teenage love so Voldemort was fooled.

Thanks doc

Nice digits btw

harry potter is not particularly well written serious of books

I've missed you Pastaposter

So how does occlumency work? I always figured you could "guard" against an intrusion like in KotoR, by keeping your mind busy with a mental game while you carry out a mundane task.

I hate this bullshit.

Surely if Voldy can't read Snape's mind then he would know he's hiding something

Is Snape the “Hitler” of the Harry Potter franchise? Like how everyone thinks he's the bad guy but he turns out to be right all along

>>85806562
I assume it's more of a "when they read your mind, they see what you want them to see" rather than "when they read your mind, they see a brick wall" kind of thing

Are you actually retarded? Snape was a triple agent and it was explained pretty straightforwardly in the books. They were written for children and you're still too stupid to understand them lmao

>>85805284
that whole scene is bad. Karkaroff announces BCjr is a death eater and attempts to run away, doesn't even use his fucking wand. Just sort of hisses at his dad like an autist.

Should have just sat there and played dumb, at least then he wouldn't have got caught that easily.

Snape was a race traitor for that slut Lily

in the book, snape uses the pensive to take out that memory just incase harry would be able to read it. Then after each session he puts it back in. One time there was an emergency and snape had to run out the room and harry dove into the pensive and saw it, only having snape pull him out right before his pants were taken off by james. Then he refuses to teach harry anymore
