>>212922518 (OP)Only the first 4 or 5 are comfy. Rest are soulless Yates slop
Never got into the series, I will be watching the reboot though.
>>212922518 (OP)The first two are comfy. The third is decent. Everything after that is a British TV series cut down to movie length.
>>212922518 (OP)1 and 2 were peak comfycore
3 was the start of the grimdark blue filter bullshit but I still like it for 2 reasons
4 was retarded as fuck despite being one of the best books.
Didn't bother with 5 onwards
>>212922580>>212922609>>212922738Thanks for all feeling the need to rehash the stock standard reddit opinion in your own words.
I miss Alan Rickman bros ;_;
>>212922772they are not wrong though, i'm not saying they are trash because i like them, but there was a noticable nosedive in quality after azkaban especially when you compare them with the books
>>212922772Why haven't you killed yourself yet?
the films stopped being comfy when they stopped wearing wizard robes everywhere and started dressing like muggles
Judgement Night is the comfiest movie ever made
>>212922518 (OP)it stopped being comfy when it went capeslop mode movie 5 onwards
>whole movie is Harry, Hermione, and Ron at each other's throats while bumming through urban London and the occasional forest
It's so not-magical it becomes interesting.
>>212922772You're welcome.
Updoots to the left.
Edit: thanks for the good, kind stranger
Edit 2: 10k upvotes and 5 awards. Holy heck Batman ( Bale not affleck lol)
I like them all
except Deathly Hallows pt. 1 which is rather boring aside from only a few scenes.
>let's just hang out in the woods carrying not-the-one-ring for 80% of the film
>>212923007I'm more annoyed by the shitty off-screen deaths
>all these muggles hating on Half-Blood Prince
I'm still fucking confused about what the hell happened at the end of Chamber of Secrets
>>212923433The whole Tom Riddle being a memory but able to interact with the physical world and command the big snek, also what the fuck was he even doing to Ginny, and why did he need her? He monologued his master plan for so long maybe I missed it, but I think it just made fuck all sense.
First four are comfy, though 3 only barely. Yates is a shitty TV director and ruined the series.
>>212923612the diary is a horcrux, his soul or whatever they said is in the diary. i don't remember if they explicitly explain how his soul went from diary to "physical form" though
ginny was involved because malfoys dad gave her the diary so she would be tricked into opening the chamber of secrets and kill all the muggles and all that shit
All of the recommendations have been shite in this thread. Also, genre ends in -core.
1 and 2 are kino and comfy
3 is a bit of a fall off, too gray
4 is return to form
5 is the same as 3 but has better music that save it + Luna
6 is return to form again
7-8 are mostly ass except for ocasional scenes
>>212922881Only for the first 20 minutes
for me, it's the big lebowski
>>2129225807.1 is extremely comfy. Bad take.
>>212922518 (OP)For me peak comfycore would be home alone
>>212922518 (OP)Those aren't the original better covers.
>>212923702Yeah but that's where it gets confusing, cause like if his soul can just manifest or whatever then what the fuck is Ginny for? She, or anyone really, brings the diary into Hogwarts and that's it. Now Riddler is just free to walk around and do whatever and immediately murder everybody and unleash Solid Snake.
Where does Ginny being some weird ghost-in-the-wall and Tom acting like a retard in general waiting for Pottah to figure out the plot over the course of something like six months come in? The timeline and events just felt like a mystery box with no overarching purpose. Nothing else even happens in the movie. Nobody has any character development, we were already properly introduced to Hogwarts in the first film, and Voldemort/Tom Riddle will promptly be forgotten and then be reintroduced like three more times before becoming a proper threat. Chamber of Secrets just feels like filler, and really bad filler at that.
Why the fuck didn't Lucius just give the diary to Draco, Snape, or better yet just do it himself?
>>212922518 (OP)Stopped watching when Emma got too old
>>212924448cant answer all your questions cause i dont remember or it's not explained desu but i think part of it being ginny was that malfoys dad wanted to embarrass the weasleys, cause iirc he had just gotten into an argument with his dad right before. maybe he thought it'd be funny that the weasleys/gryffindors would be blamed
>>212924448Been forever but google dude
>Lucius Malfoy gave Ginny Weasley Tom Riddle's diary primarily to discredit her father, Arthur Weasley, and to dispose of a dark artifact he feared would implicate him. Lucius knew the diary was a powerful, dark magical object connected to Voldemort, and he intended for Ginny to be blamed for the attacks on Hogwarts students, thus damaging Arthur's reputation and derailing his efforts to pass a Muggle Protection Act. He also wanted to get the diary out of his own possession, as it was a dangerous relic linked to Voldemort. It really just sets up things for later. The diary being a horcrux is a retcon though, we know Rowling didn't plan that shit but it just happened to work for her.
>>212922897They needed at least one movie where they have a grungy phase.
>>212924511That's implications from the book my half-blooded nigger, we're on /tv/, talking about the shoddy adaptations that are filled with unexplained nonsense, like the time-turning sequence from Prisoner of Asskaban.
>>212922897>>212924335This is the most rewatchable one and the kid cast are starting to act better
>comfy
Because you're a fucking manchild without a sense of measured judgement and critique so you come up with an arbitrary meme to cover up for your plebness.
>>212924635Explanation still applies to the film. Sets up Lucius and his suspicious nature, full blooded nigger.
>>212926175Buy an ad you fucking faggot tranny
>>212922518 (OP)You can see the soul leave 4 onwards.
>>212922897>>212923007did y'all even read the book? half of the story literally is them camping in the woods evading death eaters
>>212923062half-blood prince was a mid adaptation, it would've been supreme potter kino had they actually focused on the plot and not sidelined voldemort's backstory for harry/ginny romance
>>212926209Wow! Do you want a fucking certificate, faggot?
>>212926211An ad for what? Not my fault you're too retarded to get film context.
I made a list of examples of racism, prejudice, and stereotypes in the HP books.
1. Kingsley SHACKLEBOLT is black, tall, bald, with a deep voice, and has a single gold hoop earring. He is wise and gentle.
(References: Slavery; black men are tall and physically hyper-masculine; the "magical negro"/"numinous negro" trope of wise, purely magnanimous black men; stereotypical black-dude fashion.)
2. Dean Thomas is black. He is described as being taller than Ron. Dean's father left him when he was young. His best friend is Seamus, an Irish kid.
(References: Black people are tall; black dads abandon their families; black and Irish people both used to be on the bottom rungs of western society).
3. Cho Chang is Asian. She is in Ravenclaw, and is very focused on her studies. She is a seeker and Rowling specifies that the best seekers are usually small and light. (References: Asian people being particularly academic, and being small and slender)
4. Seamus Finnigan is Irish. He is skilled in pyrotechnics, had several "incendiary mishaps" in his first year, and McGonagall chose him to blow up a bridge during the battle of Hogwarts.
(References: Irish Republican Army terrorism/bombings).
5. Fleur is French. She is beautiful, ultra-feminine, and her grandmother was a LITERAL INHUMAN SEDUCTION MONSTER THAT TURNS INTO A HARPY WHEN ANGRY aka a Veela.
(References: French women being particularly feminine and sexual; beautiful women being two-faced and less human).
6. The mascot for the Bulgarian Quidditch team is a Veela.
(References: Eastern European women are highly sexual seduction monsters)
7. Filch, a "squib", is disabled by wizard standards. He is a janitor and an angry, spiteful, miserable person who enjoys causing pain and aligns himself with whoever will benefit him most.
(References: Disabled people can only do menial/manual labor; disabled people are mean/amoral.)
>>212927486and that is why it's kino
rowling is realistic
This thread is a perfect example of why potter trannies are worse than capeshitters, starshitters and wes anderson faggots. op clearly made a thread for comfycore movies and these faggots had to inject their lisa simpson tier posting
absolute cattle
>>212927669>OP literally has HP in it>Reeeeeee! Pottertards!!! Reeeeeeeee!!Stfu cunt and go stretch your legs
Only the first two were comfy.
Second one was oeak comfy with its The Name of the Rose whodunnit element.
Third COULD HAVE BEEN comfy with its creepiness but it shat the bed completely after the train scene into Hogwarts.
The colour filter was awful and the lazy contemporary clothing showed they completely gave up all effort.
>>212922738>3 was the start of the grimdark blue filter bullshit but I still like it for 2 reasons... What two reasons, Anon?
>>212923817Based Luna enjoyer.
The later entries are lame yeah, but it always gives me kinobumps when Neville beheads Nagini
>>212928855>two reasons, Anon?Emma in the pink hoodie
And it was the last movie I watched with my grandma
is fantastic beasts any good?
>>212922518 (OP)What's the significance of the half-blood prince title being the only one that's got a dutch angle going on? It just looks so odd.
>>212922881Nah man, it's Jaws. The perfect movie for when you want those comfy summer beach town vibes.
>>212924448Ginny was using it as her own diary. Pouring her heart and soul into it each time she wrote in it, sharing her deepest secrets and thoughts. This gave the soul fragment power over her and let it control her in her sleep and then as it progressed it gained more and more power from her. Sort of like how Voldemort returned by having a ritual and the rat guy sacrificing his hand to give the soul fragment a power boost, except instead the diary fragment was using Ginny as the sacrifice and slowly leeching her life force away.
Lucius had no idea what the diary was because Voldemort would never have told one of his followers about his horcruxes. He just knew it was a powerful dangerous artefact entrusted to him by Voldemort for safekeeping and thought it could be used to hurt or kill Harry without it ever being traced back to him, and so he slipped it in Harry's cauldron when he had the chance. Then Ginny got it because Harry gave all his Lockheart books to her and the diary was slipped in with them.
>>212924511>The diary being a horcrux is a retcon though I'm not sure it could really count as a retcon. I think the diary was the moment she started thinking about horcruxes and how it was a way to explain why Voldemort survived. It's way too specifically "soul trapped in an object" to not have been the starting point for her horcrux ideas. She of course didn't plan on having seven of them and all the setup, she probably thought the diary would be enough to explain why Voldy didn't die, until she realised she wanted a scavenger hunt before Harry could finish him off and had to invent a whole load of them in later books.
>>212922518 (OP)And to think that in a few years we will have a better adaptation.
>>212929275I never understood why dudes go so nuts for her pink hoodie.
Second reason is wholesome though.
>>212929556One of the women in it is cute, but otherwise kinda weak. I was aged out of HP by the time it was released, though
>>212929556The first one is pretty decent. The second one is a confusing mess that dumps the fantastic beasts part to instead be about espionage shit and the third one goes full retard even by Harry Potter standards. It's simply amazing how bad it is. The final showdown between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the big finale for the trilogy and a fight that's been hyped up since the HP book days, takes place in a white void to save on CGI costs and they just do the shitty "beams interlock and then they push back and forth" thing again instead of something like the Dumbledore/Voldemort ministry duel like everyone was waiting for.
>>2129274867. Filch, a "squib", is disabled by wizard standards. He is a janitor and an angry, spiteful, miserable person who enjoys causing pain and aligns himself with whoever will benefit him most.

>>212922772Thanks for not offering anything of your own, you spineless fucking coward
>>212930585I'm holding people like you in check. Don't like it? Mosey on out.
>>212930022That's exactly what a retcon is. She retroactively changed the continuity. The diary was just a vehicle for an antagonist, and later on it was "btw this was one of the mcguffins you needed to kill." She didn't have to change the thing because her universe is "it's magic, I don't have to explain shit" so it just werks.
>>212931623>She retroactively changed the continuity.Except nothing fucking changed. She just introduced the "soul imbued into an object" thing and then made more of them. That's not a retcon, that's just expounding.
