>>211876752 (OP)this moment happens halfway through the book. the order of events in movie 3 are all fucked up
there were more quidditch scenes
>>211876813Quidditch scenes sucked. They were overhyped and always went on too long. We get it, they ride around on brooms as a sport. We didn't need 3,000 scenes of the same joke over and over. I use those scenes as an excuse to use the shitter or get snacks and just let it play out. In the books they made more sense and you were in the characters' heads. These were just so fucking tedious and pointless.

How fitting that the main character would be this excited that the movie is over. Little did he know that he's not even halfway through the dullest franchise 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 seriesโ 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 itโs 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.
>>211876752 (OP)I walked out of the theater after this.
>>211876813They didn't want people to leave the theatre halfway through the movie
>>211876752 (OP)This was such a stupid scene, I stopped watching after this.
