Was it a power play?

No, it was Radcliffe lashing out after he had realized he had been cast in the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. 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.

>So Ron, when will you pay me back for your half?
Did Harry have some goblin blood in him?

I bet the cart magically restocks itself anyway.
He also shared it with Ron, who just wanted some Twizzlers so whatever.
Besides you're not looking into the real play of the hand when Harry DIDN'T offer a literally mountain of candy to Hermione when she came by. Like there is no way the two of them could eat all that candy and could have easily shared it.

Remember that the trolley lady is now an eldritch being tied to the train charged with not allowing kids to leave

fuck, rowling, why did you have to make the 8th book so weird

Did she write the play or just approve it? Either way it's shockingly bad.

based and punctual

haha imagine feeding Hermoine so much candy that she swells up cartoonishly in size from her newfound fatness ahah that'd be so silly

Harry was mogging Ron. Asserting his dominance.

Also, did anybody notice, Harry never ever made use of his vast sums of cash? He got all the best brooms for free. Also, the best bits of the book was all the fun with magic, toys, food, sport and all the comfy bits. The LotR rip-off plot and shit was just awful. Had there been more fun magic shenanigans, you know, flipping skirts with wands, pulling down underwear with wands, more magic duels (perhaps a tournament), more fantasy creatures, interesting food and items and shit. Instead it is DRAMA OH MY GOD RON DON'T YOU GET IT I AM SAD OH LOOK TORTURE LOL ISN'T THAT GREAT. Shit like Harry finding a magic that Snape MADE is fucking interesting. The idea you could make magic spells and the counter for them is infinitely more interesting for people than the same spells over and over. Why there isn't a part of the book where Harry and Co make some magic to get over obstacles I do not know. Also why didn't Harry use the Luck Potion to make more Luck Potion?

Also can somebody confirm, did Harry give the Luck Potion to some of his friends when the castle is attacked by the Death Eaters? Which allowed his friends to avoid dying and win duels? I swear that happened.

I didn't read that book but the idea she is the guardian spirit of the train to prevent people who aren't entitled to go on it is actually really fun. Shame the story, as far as I know from people telling me, is literally 'Hey I'm a good girl, lets go back in time and meet somebody' and then it's 'haha I'm actually Voldermorts rape child and I want to resurrect him because I want his dick' instead with time travel that is fucking weird.

haha image her farting and the farts being chocolatey with a sweet note haha just imagine whiffing it haha it'd be like smelling cotton candy haha image the sweeteners made her poop a bit haha some have laxative properties haha.

based and brappilled

>poor AND ginger

Fuck I hate Ron

why would you hate a man born into those conditions

I know you're going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

Here's why:

Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.

And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it's because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.

Now I know what you're going to say: "But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!" Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?

Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.

Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don't think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort's wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry's would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let's see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.

I can see it now...Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can't be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:

"Well then I guess it's a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1."

>noone else on thw train got anthing

what the fuck are you talking about

>Harry use the Luck Potion to make more Luck Potion
doesmt it fuck you over if you do something like this

also i agree with you. 7 books and nothing happens

If you want a good read, this copypasta is basically a description of the dresden files book series. Aside from the innate coolness of a wizard detective blowing the fuck out of ghouls and assorted creatures with a magnum, it's also really well written and the main character is one of the best protagonists in fiction ever.

So go read the dresden files.

>Also why didn't Harry use the Luck Potion to make more Luck Potion?
Hmmmmmmmmm

that's one of the cooler retcons I've heard of

Rowling is just honestly a shit writer who managed to set the basic framework for a pretty interesting world but constantly ran away from going any more complex route
I know she took a lot of influence from other kid's series that came before, there's a list somewhere of terms or exact things she "stole" that's interesting to see but overall she did meld them in a decent enough way
however this world really doesn't stand up to much scrutiny, nor do most of her main characters, the general plot progression, not even to mention world building

>Live in a society where magic can seemingly account for almost every possible need
>Even those who live in apparent wizard poverty are still afforded all luxuries
>All basic needs are catered for through magic
>Somehow this society is still structured around some bizarre pseudo-capitalist system where people use fucking golden dubloons as money
>Somehow people like Ron have to wear shitty hand-me-down robes when ??? surely there are spells to clean robes or make them look brand new or just fucking sew copies out of thin air
>Somehow a class system is still established based on wealth despite the apparent complete lack of need for money in the first place
???

>???
Have to show rich people (except the protag) are bad, while poor people are good (Except for redneck stereotypes in which case they are poor because they are stupid and inbred)

Dresden is pretty cool, but the gun bits are hilariously bad noguns tier.

I tried, but it's just too apparent that the author has never been near a vagina. If you took out the absolute cringe writing involving attractive women, it'd be ok.

oh shit Harry

wtf I love harry potter now

muggle tech doesn't work in magic areas

A gun has no electrical parts.

Saw movies, read books, both when I was kid - teen, both were great, I have lots of endless memories with it,you're just being edgy and pretentious, esp. seeing the list u offered

yikes

Why didn't they Voldemort use a knife or gun to finish off Harry Potter?

It's not the 8th book. Its some used toilet paper with a book cover.

most wizards seem to just not give a shit that they're wizards. like they barely use magic at all, and can do very little with their magic all things considered

wtf is with today, ive been seeing all the old memes

fuck i miss those bubblegum strips so fucking much

Bump

>we'll take the whole bloody lot!
woah potty mouth

Expand on this

No it was basic wish fulfilment that the whole series is based in - what 11 year old wouldn't immediately buy a shitload of sweets if they found out they had all the money in the world? It was a blank check moment. He also probably saw a little of himself in Ron and for the first time in his life he is able to share with someone less fortunate than himself.

Or nah Harry was totally flexing on Ron and Ron's a total whore for becoming Harry's bitch for a couple sweets.

The class system is based on birth not wealth. The Malfuws get titled land becuase they come from a noble family. Ron’s family is not noble and will always be dirty commoners.

Legit

He would also let Ron give him hand jobs and later pressured him into blow jobs for some coin.

In that shitshow 'the cursed child', there's a scene where they try to escape the train, and the trolley lady metamorphoses into her true form, which is basically a demon, in order to stop them.

Am I supposed to like Ron?

>the trolley bitch is a hag creature

his whole thing about ron is him being insecure because he's the sixth kid on a relatively poor family with cool brothers (except percy)

my thoughts exactly, i love the 6th too

>it's also really well written and the main character is one of the best protagonists in fiction ever.
holy fuck read more books you actual manchild

He probably hated himself and his mum for that, because everyone else got food off the trolley. Depressing shit

>man uses capital to buy goods
>this is a problem for some """people"""

No, he's just a weaselly sidekick of the protagonist.

Dresden Files is a guilty pleasure of mine. I would never admit to reading it outside of this website. It's so fucking cliched and poorly written, I'm genuinely embarrassed to like it when reading the really bad bits.

Now that's suma premo pasta

I noticed that still, somehow, Newfag are falling for this pasta. Still, what can you expect when you post one of the the dullest copy-pastas in the history of copy-pasta. Seriously each copied post of the infamous Harry Potter pasta posted in order to generate (you)s and disregard a random film series is indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the book-tier image, the series' only consistency has been its lack of funny narrative and lackluster openings, all to make memes cringeworthy, to make millhouse seem reasonable.

Perhaps the die was cast when user vetoed the idea of Moot approving the pasta; he made sure the pasta would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously repetitive double-posting for their autism. The Harry Potter series pasta might be anti-reddit (or not), but it's certainly the anti-Yea Forums pasta in it's refusal of originality, capability of distribution and possibility for newfags to fall for it. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the original pasta was good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the OP was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time the user could have said something funny, he wrote instead something stupid and autistic.

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time this tactic was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. user's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of writing. Later, I read a lavish, loving reply of the Harry Potter Pasta by the same user who keeps posting the sneed meme. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading the Harry Potter Pasta at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to make sneedposts." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "dullest franchises" you are, in fact, trained to make Sneedposts

Fuck Harry Potter and fuck you.

Must be holidays for the school kids in the US atm.

Wow, how old are you?

Being able to just bewitch something to do a job for you like the pots and pans in movie 2 removes the need for skilled or unskilled labourers. Like he said, why pay for new robes when you could just use magic to make a needle sew you a brand new set every year.

There is a magic tournament though

They have a lot of gingers in scotland? t. Ginger fetishist

>ginger hairy pink butthole

imagine the lager smell

have sex

I feel personally attacked by this post.

This problem could've been solved easily if Rowling just straight up told us that most wizards are hopelessly incompetent with magic. In fact, it could've been a big plot point that voldy and friends realized that mudbloods are basically causing magic to die out which gives him a decent reason for his actions beyond
