Those movies are fucking SHIT.
How is anyone watching this crap?

>>212859853 (OP)
I watched for Emma

Movies are perfectly fine

>Great costumes
>Good actors in some fun roles
>Nice cinematography minus how dark the last film looked
>Great scores
>Good job of making things magical

By no means is it high art but for a children's -/young adult series it'd be hard to do much better.

Only movies 1 and 2 are good. The rest are mediocre. And you will only find 1 and 2 good when you read the book. You should have read the books when you were like 8 years old. Too late anon

3 is the only good one

It's for fucking kids and adult children like this retard >>212859921

the books are better

"No!"

I'm going to stretch my legs to your house and speak calmly to you

She hit the wall at 10.

>>212860010
Again, it's perfectly fine for what it is. Not everything needs to be some "le epic" deep meaning film or some high testosterone bloodfest.

>>212859853 (OP)
That's why they are making a new adaptation.

>>212859913
Sexo

I'm rewatching 'em now and they fucking suck compared to the source material.

>>212859853 (OP)
first two are comfy child whimsy in a magical school, great family films
3 is a bit more edgy, but still more or less feels like the first two, just a bit older
4 onward just turns into teen angst slop, the whimsy and magic is gone

>>212859853 (OP)
They were always for "whimsical" faggots, trannies, and young girls. You weren't the target audience

>>212859853 (OP)
I honestly believe people just assume the "magic school" trope was original to that series and rolled with it not realizing that there were already a few fantasy book series featuring magic schools out there.

>>212859853 (OP)
I thought Hermione was hot. She was my first crush.

>>212861278
I will add that they are essentially good movies for what they are

>>212861314
Exactly. OP isn't the target audience. It was for girls, teenagers, and those who like some whimsy in their films.

>>212859853 (OP)
Agreed, all the movies are shit because the source material is overrated shit as well.

>>212859853 (OP)
I was recently watching all the movies again and I realized that Harry is basically in every scene which was unbearable . Got tired of seeing him and that everything was about him, tired of all the shoehorningabout him being a celebrity in the wizarding world and being special and blah blah, tired of him being good at everything, not only is he a talented wizard but he speaks parsel and is the Messi of quidditch Every scene is specifically designed to wank him .All of this made me hate him even though the character itself isn't bad. I want to see the other characters a bit and whatever they are doing !
