So, why did Ron scream in agony and look like he needed medical

I don't know, never thought about it. Boy, those Harry Potter movies are underrated.

He was still sitting on a chess piece that exploded, and he was thrown to the ground pretty hard.

He wanted to escape, through death, but to no avail, one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises.

I think that he became the Knight. So when the Queen killed the Knight, it was kinda killing him too. But he survived because it's a children book and a plausible excuse could always be made up because it's literally a magical world

He was in agony from starring in one of the dullest movie franchises etc etc.

How convenient that one of the stages at the end is a literal chess game. And also a broom riding segment. What are the chances!

A dumb questiosn from a dumb numale
Very fitting

Bingo. 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.

Missed you sweetheart

And then Ron's chess skills and Hermione's botanic knowledge are never relevant ever again

He should have just jumped off before it got stabbed
