lmao except this scene

>>212763511 (OP)
Correct. Most faithful to the book as well

Azkaban has best emma though

I really liked it after rewatching it recently. Easily the best looking one.

I’m stupid, I’m blupid, I’m plipid

>>212763511 (OP)
Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets were really good. I like Goblet of Fire the most, though.

but enough about Hermione

first 2 movies are comfy as fuck

>>212763511 (OP)
There are so many pointless fillers in the books. The best movie is still Azkaban, a lot of important things from the book have been removed; Lupin and Harry's relationship. But the movie cuts out a lot of the filler from the original book. Alan Moore's “Sloppily defined” is the best description of these books. Even better than Armond White's take on those books. I'm only going to finish reading all the books because I like to finish things I've started even though I'm forcing myself at certain times

>>212763511 (OP)
This is going to be a slog to get through in the hbo show

>>212764384
>The best movie is still Azkaban
But don't you know the guy that directed it is Mexican and woke or whatever?

>>212764384
Hope they don't cut out the valentine's stuff that was in the COS book this time

>>212764352
I wish we could have got the series where Richard Harris didn't die and Chris Columbus did all the movies

3 > 2 = 1 > 4 > 5 > 7 > 6
Not to say I didn't like the last 3, they just lost most of the charm

>>212764555
System shock looks like this?

>>212764439
There's just him boasting shit, ginny blushing and pointless dialog. The problem with the books isn't the amount of filler, it's the characters. They're too simple and most of their lines and actions aren't interesting.

>>212763511 (OP)
This is the most 2nd Harry Potter movie I ever seen.

>It was this one. This was the best one. It peaked here.

>>212763511 (OP)
easily the worst.
so many plot holes I was cringing the entire time

Cuaron did 3 all the others were dogshit in comparison. Home alone director vs British hack4hire

>>212765322
Cuaron is Mexican though. Oh wait, you mean Yates haha.

>>212764629
True, but consider the fact that Harry Potter is literal children's literature aimed at elementary school students that inexplicably exploded into a global phenomenon. It's good to contextualize the origins of these books. Rowling was never trying to contend with Rushdie and Nabokov. She was just trying to get out of her broke ass life with some shit writing. Who the hell could have predicted Harry Potter would become what it has? It's like getting mad at the Hungry, Hungry Caterpillar.

>>212765287

Why didn’t Harry die from the basilisk’s gaze?
How did Fawkes know to bring the Sorting Hat with the sword?
Why is Polyjuice Potion so easily accessible to second-year students?
Why can’t any teacher at Hogwarts understand Parseltongue?
Why didn’t Myrtle mention the basilisk sooner?

Why wasn’t Dobby punished for magic outside school?

>>212765518
>Why would a giant snake fit inside the school plumbing?
This is the only plot hole you managed to list. The rest is just you being a speedreader/watcher

>>212765518
>Why didn’t Harry die from the basilisk’s gaze?
Harry never looked into its eyes and then Fawkes clawed its eyes out completely
>How did Fawkes know to bring the Sorting Hat with the sword?
Dumbledore sent him
>Why is Polyjuice Potion so easily accessible to second-year students?
It's not, Hermione is a master of unlocking and a genius so she got the recipe book and the ingredients
>Why can’t any teacher at Hogwarts understand Parseltongue?
It's an uncommon skill
>Why didn’t Myrtle mention the basilisk sooner?
Nobody asked, she's permanently 11 or whatever
>Why would a giant snake fit inside the school plumbing?
The same way regular snakes can fit inside normal plumbing in suburban houses, except Hogwarts is a giant castle made by magic so the pipes are bigger
>Why wasn’t Dobby punished for magic outside school?
He's not human

>>212765518
>Why didn’t Harry die from the basilisk’s gaze?
When?
>How did Fawkes know to bring the Sorting Hat with the sword?
Dumbledore sent him
>Why is Polyjuice Potion so easily accessible to second-year students?
It's not. It took quite a bit of time for them to gather the ingredients and make it
>Why can’t any teacher at Hogwarts understand Parseltongue?
It's incredibly rare and we only know of 3 wizards that were ever capable
>Why didn’t Myrtle mention the basilisk sooner?
She didn't know what killed her. Just great big eyes
>Why would a giant snake fit inside the school plumbing?
It's a castle. I don't even know if they had plumbing, but first one that's a legitimate plot hole
>Why wasn’t Dobby punished for magic outside school?
He's not a wizard

>>212765518
>Why would a giant snake fit inside the school plumbing?
Better yet, how the fuck did they miss the big ass snake all this time? When I saw a giant ass serpent, big enough to fill a cathedral ass room, it just took me out of the movie, even as a kid I thought that shit didn't make sense. Does that thing change size or something? Maybe I missed that part or maybe that's in the book, apparently not, a giant ass snake in cathdral ass looking hallways is able to sneak past these morons. Harry Potter wizards ARE retarded.

>>212765287
But enough about Goblet of Fire

>first legitimate plothole
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GqtuLbN2_I

The sequel is better

>>212765695
The Basilisk is huge though. The pipes would have to be enormous. Honestly would have made more sense if they scaled it down to fit in the pipes and sneak around.

>>212765674
They should have scaled it down or gave it some type of camouflage ability. It is hard to believe it managed to go undetected given its size

>>212765518
>>212765674
>Why would a giant snake fit inside the school plumbing?
It didn't. The school's later plumbing in that bathroom just used one of the secret passageways that Salazar Slytherin put into the building for him and his pet to travel through. He was really big on tunnels and secret dungeons, which is why the Slytherin common room is in a dark dungeon. Everyone "missed" the snake because it was hibernating when there wasn't an heir around to wake it up and command it and it was only commanded to come out when the hallways were likely to be empty.

>>212765453
>Rushdie
>Good

>>212765755
Or Hogwarts just has big huge plumbing, like the size of the tunnels in the Salazar Slytherin lair, similar to how Hogwarts has an infinite living staircase, hidden crap all over the place like all the dorms that all have room for 200 students, a sentient junk room, classrooms that vary wildly in size, and any other number of things you should also be bitching about.
And the Basilisk is shown to have recent shed its skin, so any discussion of its final form in the movie being too big for anything is totally moot because it would've increased in size from that point, whenever it might've been.

>>212765898
Still hard to believe nobody noticed a giant ass snake roaming the halls, no matter how you try to justify it

>>212763511 (OP)
this was like a horror movie to me as a kid

>>212765631
>It's a castle. I don't even know if they had plumbing, but first one that's a legitimate plot hole
Plumbing was only implemented in the 80's in the magic world, how did the plumber somehow get into the supposed hidden chamber to install pipes in there?

>>212765968
people did notice
there was a series of near-fatal petrifications, including Hermione

>>212765453
>She was just trying to get out of her broke ass life
Those stories were PR spin to up her working class credentials, anon. She was never a near-homeless single mother writing on napkins in cafes because she couldn't afford paper or a good apartment, so she had to stay in cafes to stay warm. She just decided that she wanted a break from work and to write her book and so she took a break, jumped on the government's teat and sat in a cafe owned by a family relation because they'd give her free coffee. Her apartment was perfectly fine, spacious even by today's standards, and if it had been truly bad with rats and shit then she could have moved back in with her sister, whose house she only left because she didn't want to feel like a burden on her. Feeling much better about herself when being a burden on the tax payers while refusing to have a job like normal people do when they're writing their first novels.

Grow up you fucking t*mblr trannies

>>212766036
>there was a series of near-fatal petrifications
2. 3 if you want to count the cat.

>>212765968
It didn't roam the halls for most of the time. It used the secret passageway tunnels built for Slytherin to sneak around the castle unseen, or for it to slither through. Harry hears it while it's moving through one of those in the wall going along a hallway. They wouldn't have put plumbing going along a passageway like that, no matter how retarded magicians are. It just so happens that when Hogwarts installed toilets in the 1800s there was a danger of those tunnels being discovered, so a Slytherin heir took charge of the project and made a new secret entrance in the toilet built over the main entrance to the lair and tunnel system, making sure the toilet pipes didn't disturb anything. That's the only overlap between the two.

>>212766181
that would qualify as a series of near fatal petrifications, yes
your point was that people didn't see the giant snake around, but multiple people, a ghost, and cat did
Also the spiders knew it was around and got the fuck out
Harry also heard it moving around inside the walls multiple times, talking to itself

>>212766232
2 people saw it. Cat isn't a person and the ghost just got the full blast, no implication he saw it himself. Not here to argue retarded semantics of "achkually 2 people qualifies as a series". The point nobody actually noticed a giant ass snake slithering around is hard to believe, even in a magical setting.

The one thing about chamber of secrets I dont get is how the entrance was in the bathroom. If Slytherin built the chamber 1000 years ago and the chamber entrance is at the modern girls bathroom it means the architects had to build the bathroom around the chamber. How did nobody know where it is?

>>212766384
>the ghost just got the full blast, no implication he saw it himself.
Yes there is. You don't get petrified unless you look into its eyes specifically, not just at it. And if it's a direct stare, like not with a reflection or through a ghost or through a camera lens, you die, like Myrtle did.

>>212763511 (OP)

i liked the first movie the most, its the most comfy.
The more they focus on story instead of school stuff and the more focus on voldemort the less comfy and interesting it became.

>>212763511 (OP)
Agreed, it's got all the magic and wholesomeness of the first movie and more with none of the awkwardness

Azkaban is a close second though

>>212765755
Hagrid’s cabin isn’t plumbed in. He has to hike up to the castle two or three times a week to squeeze out some absolutely monolithic turds. Think about it. He’s twice the size of a normal man, and subsists entirely on grilled sausages, honeyed hams, roast turkey legs, mulled mead, fire whiskey, butter beer, treacle tart, ice cream, pumpkin pasties and his home made rock cakes. His sphincter must be absolutely gargantuan, but even it would be strained to it’s mighty limits by his diet.

Dumbledore had to perform very dark magic indeed on the school’s plumbing to accomodate his freak groundsman’s odious leavings. And, as is often the case, when you let one evil in openly, another crawls inside in the first’s wake. Although, for that poor basilisk? Imagine the smell.

>>212765506
This.

It reminds me of Goonies or maybe Indiana Jones. Probably the most comfy of Harry Potter movies.

>>212766119
Does saying that make you feel better about yourself after getting rocked by a weeb

>>212766713
Because when there were talks about putting newfangled flushing bathrooms in Hogwarts it would be news (they probably spent years debating whether it was necessary when the old system of chamber pots carried away by the house elves worked so well), so an heir of Slytherin got himself in a position to guide the works and built that bathroom. Voldemort wasn't the first "heir" to know about the secret cave, he was probably the first one who had to figure it out on his own instead of having the knowledge simply pass down in the family.

>>212766919
Hagrid never finished his magical education and is using a broken wand concealed in an umbrella to perform illegal magic. No, I’m sorry, lunar teleportation is beyond his talents. Dumbledore had to be involved in resolving the fecal situation.

>>212766919
>implying Hagrid is a good enough magician to vanish his poo
He just hikes into the woods to take care of business. He blames the stink on the werewolves.

Meh. The first two movies were carried by god-tier production design and music (plus some great supporting cast). Chris Columbus is a shit director.

If I had magic I’d probably just create a portal in my asshole that teleports my poop away as well. What’s the point of building intricate sewage systems when portals get the job done just as fast?

True. HP1 and HP2 are kino. HP3 onwards are crap.
