Does anyone else think Harry Potter has been one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? 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 r-right
"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.

Too should be to in the bottom paragraph, if you care. Strange how they get worse over time. I wonder if there's an interesting explanation for that.

these games suck, I hope that Warner Interactive can make a new game series more based on the books instead of the movies, they have done a great job with the Arkham series and Middle Earth games.

I would swap Order of the Phoenix and Goblet of Fire in that image. OotP at least had some exploration and Hogwarts was still comfy. GoF is just a mess from start to finish.

Oh and I just noticed LEGO Creator Harry Potter was mentioned. I remember playing that shit and yeah it was alright. The mode where you can build anything is great but the block limit per area really kills it.

Starts off great. By movie five it's awful. Slice of wizard life with some obstacles was so much better than what it became. I'm curious to know if the three games op has listed as best are what I described.

didn't the xbox version of chamber of secrets have missing modes that weren't in the playstation version

Thats what made the first 3 games comfy
