it wouldnt work

99% of children cant work such a spell due to lack of hatred. You need absolute hatred to use it correctly or it fails.

What about abused kids

>>86279674

I thought it was indifference to life.
Like, you could cast the spell on a cockroach or some shit.

It's magical bullshit. There is not right answer and no explaining magic because you can always just say " because magic" and nothing does "because magic" more than harry potter.

I can understand the executives' decision to dumb it down, after all "The Philosopher's Stone" is a title too sophisticated for what is part of one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises, but this excuse is too much. 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.

Why are you questioning childrens movies, brainlet?

Yes abused kids can, thus that is how Tom Riddle was able to use it at such a young age when he made his first horcrux.

as fake mad eye mooney said in class teaching them "if any of you even tried to cast it at me it wouldn't do much more than bloody my nose"

>Is the wizard society vile enough to send a child to azkaban?
Yes. They're an incredibly fucked up society on so many levels. Remember how they sent Hagrid to Azkaban even though there was absolutely no evidence that his forest spiders had anything to do with kids being attacked?

>>86279674
Voldemort/Tom Riddle did it when he was 16 or 17. Harry is implied to be capable of doing it at the age of 15 but chooses not to.

is that from the book?

How is torturing people in Azkaban better than capital punishment? The wizard society seems pretty vile to me desu.

>>86279674
So you're saying that some magic works based on emotions?
Fuck, I realize now many things are based on emotions:
>Azkaban
>Expecto Patronum

Guess it makes sense though, Rowling is a flaming liberal so basing literal magic on feelings isn't so far removed from what they do in real life.
