Wait till you find out who is secretly black!

Mongolian Ron

I'm sorry, but this school is closed to rongolians

FUUUUK YOU RONGORIANS!

Rowling just confirmed all the characters are gay trans poc

First two are kind of meh, they have some fairly poor film making from a technical standpoint and child actors are, as you may have guessed, child actors. Alfonso Cuarón directed 3 and it shows, it may not be the best of the series but it is by far the best directed, dude does a lot of neat tricks with the camera in the film and makes some great shots.

Also, haven't seen the films in like 7 years but I remember 6 having some really nice cinematography.

3rd (Azkaban) is generally regarded as the best in the series with the 5th (Phoenix) being the worst.

People really don't like 5 because the whole atmosphere of the book was way different than the others with Harry being a twat the whole time. The movie itself honestly wasn't a bad adaptation.

I'll have you know I also read Sword Shit.

Me too, I'm low key excited for the Wheel of Time Show

I want it to be good, but the people they have cast so far looks like the cast from Home and Away.

I'm actually ok with it. The two rivers is black people, better that than an eclectic mix of races in a backwater town

Didn't mean that they were dark, although I pictured them more like the actors for Egwene and Mat than Perrin. It's more that they look big, hunky and moddel pretty instead of good actors, especially the guy playing Rand.

And we all know who really should be playing Rand

Imgur comments were a mistake

i've never read this trash. the movies were good for the most part. i can't remember shit about the last 3 tho.

As I recall, wasn’t the 5th book just like 800 pages of Harry fucking around and then they’re like “oh shit, we gotta put in a climax, everyone go have a big fight!”

Also kill off a liked character to show that things are srs bns

It got better once Emma Watson started growing boobs.

Emma Watson is a good example of how redditors are drawn to weakness and decay. Just imagine a baby trying to pass through her puny, withered hips. Not possible.

Biker chick this actually crush the babies head, it's how chapos are born.

REEEEEEE I read many books and they are very interesting and completely unrelated to Harry Potter

Just wait till you get to the puberty scenes and the rape spells

Fetus deletus!

That joke wasn’t funny when I first saw it 10 years ago.

Is that when the books came out?

No, that’s when Harry came out as a biracial bicurious demisexual homoromantic polyamorous nonbinary feminist.

biracial

Fifty shades of mayo?

Fantastic Beasts 2 had a rape spell. A white guy uses it to have a baby with a black woman.

Talk about a downgrade!

Why use a spell for what 200 bucks on your EBT card can get you

Fantastic Beasts is some of the best evidence I've ever seen that once a writer gets famous they get extra retarded. Not that Rowling wasn't retarded before. She's just even more retarded now.

She went from being able to write semi coherent simple stories to actual complete nonsense for adults,

Is that actually real?

I thought Hermione was the Mary Sue

No, she actually has to study all year and putting in a lot of effort.

While Harry just can do shit because "His dead mother loved him".

I hate that I know this but she was a Mary Sue in the movies because they overplayed her abilities and underplayed her flaws during adaptation because she was a favorite for the film makers.

Yeah. In the books Ron was a bit more charismatic and fearless, but the actor who played him was kinda bland so they gave his role to Hermione

Yeah. In the books Ron was a bit more charismatic and fearless, but the actor who played him was kinda bland ginger so they gave his role to Hermione

Not just ginger, advanced ginger. Literally looks like a caveman. Id give his lines to watson on that basis alone

because she was a favorite for the film makers

🤔 🤔 🤔

[removed]

The author merely wrote that she earned everything with effort because she's the Mary Sue. That's part of the trope.

This is not how it works. Otherwise, even movies based on real persons would be Mary Sue.

"Yeah, why is Ali such a great boxer in this movie? He is a Mary Sue!"

"WTF, he trained hard 80% of this movie."

"Yeah, but he just did this to have so there is a reason why he became such a pro."

????

He was a great boxer because he padded his record during wartime, but that's an aside since we were talking about fiction.

Congrats, you’ve finally come full circle as a worthless jannie

Edit: Harry Potter is a Mary Sue.

if it's a guy it's Gary Stew

oh.

what if zelda was a girl?

Wow you're watching a children's movie as a full grown adult and you don't like it? Damn dude share some more of your insights, like what are your thoughts on Baby Einstein and Blue's Clues?

Fucking moron

The way millennials act these days you'd think the series was aimed at 30 year old women.

30 year old women are millennials too though

Millennial Karens are the worst kind of Karens

I want to see a kids movie written and directed by this guy. “Fuck it, it’s for kids! Throw logic and good storytelling out the window! Why even try? Just pump out some shit and get paid!”

Sorry I insulted your favourite children's franchise, I didn't realize the soy infestation had reached critical mass here

I couldn't give less of a damn about Harry Potter and I never said I did. So "soy" means anything you don't like? You can't come up with a more clever argument than that?

Why would I put in the effort to come up with a "clever" argument in r/drama? Is it your first day here?

I realize your daily soy intake would eventually turn you into a drooling braindead NPC but I never realized the amount of damage it actually did. Thanks for the cautionary tale, friend

What the fuck are you talking about? I know some of those buzzwords...I know a soy boy has something to do with liberal men being effeminate, and an NPC is someone who doesn't think for themselves. What does that have to do with anything I said?

Welcome to the board, newfriend

Stop being a fag

Soy means an unnatural amount of estrogen. Bean infused HRT.

Soy infused

That's actually literally what they do.

Excited to hear your thoughts on the repetitive nature of the Dora the Explorer franchise or the logical leaps taken by The Pacifier starring Vin Diesel

Cope

When I was 5, I asked my mom if Dora was like the autistic retard in my class.

Stuff like Pokemon though was fun, first time I cried to a TV show was when Ash let Butterfree go to be with his love. I didn't even know what the deal with the two Butterfrees was, I thought they were just friends, but fuck did that hit in the feels.

I didn't even know what the deal with the two Butterfrees was, I thought they were just friends,

They were partner and hotwife and engaged in cuckoldry mere minutes after the end of the episode

Blue’s clues holds up. The teletubbies, however, have completely amateur cinematography and deserve to be left in the dustbin of history.

Blue's Clues was unironically groundbreaking TV at the time. The flash animation let them produce a lot of it for cheap. The whole story behind the show is actually kind of interesting. The original Steve has posted videos discussing what it was like and there are lots of heartwarming stories. Dude came to LA wanting to be the next Pacino and ended up being a massive celebrity to pre-schoolers

LOTR was a kid's and didn't suck ass. Narnia was a kid's series and didn't suck ass. Blame the writers, not the readers for having expectations.

An a slightly related note was anyone else scarred shitless by that green dragon from baby Einstein?

I remember being quite impressed with the third one but that may be because it's just not absolute dog shit like the others.

it’s easily the best of the movies

I get that Harry Potter is appealing to children, but it's not particularly well written. I tried to read the books as an adult, but gave up due to all the plot holes. When I hear Millennials go on about how great it is, I just roll my eyes. Besides, it's just a rip off of The Worst Witch, which also pandered to kids' fantasies of being special and having magic powers.

Mummy dearest was devoutly Christian and banned me from ever watching or reading it. Little did she know that she saved me from a lifetime of faggotry. Based paranoid Bible thumpers

Mummy dearest

she saved me from a lifetime of faggotry

But you're a faggot tho

Aye but I am not a faggot by way of parental neglect, but rather by choice. Amongst faggots, my type are the uppermost echelon.

[Yep, you're watching one of the dullest franchises 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.](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589507778285010952/613341512058798096/1480194209347.jpg)

Mommy is soooo proud of you, sweaty. Let's put this sperg out up on the fridge with all your other failures.

I saw J.K. Rowling at a grocery store in Edinburgh once. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything. She said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

I was taken aback, and all I could say was “What?” but she kept cutting me off and going “wot? wot? wot?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Mackie's bars in her hands without paying.

The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Ms. Rowling, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Rowling is two parts looney and one part twat.

God Tier

Atlas Shrugged

I do not trust people who like L’Étranger

Yuh a Whizzer 'arry!

JK Rowling was a mistake.

The films are garbage, but the books are acceptable.

Wand shits doesn't get the hate it deserves. It was a great entry level read for 12 year olds because it was long and engaging to their narcissistic "I'm the chosen one" self insert fantasy. It's low tier fantasy junk food and the fact that it gets any more literary praise than McDonald's gets culinary praise is an insult to anyone with above a 4th grade reading level.

Just curious as to how you haven't seen the first movie yet. I can't even work without some retard putting on the Harry Potter movies.

You may find Wizard People, Dear Reader by Neely of interest.

Much better than the actual story.

His "Washington" lyrics sometimes pop in my head when running. What an odd, funny man you are, Brad Neely.

I always hear J-j-j-jaaaaay F K as an earworm. It's a shame his show wasn't as good as his shorts.

Would you like to host the Film Club and talk about it in more depth?
