Has anyone done the audiobooks of these? I'm a huge audiobook fan but not sure if this is one that's much better to read as opposed to listening to. I have a few tokens on my Audible account so I may give it a go (given it's not abridged).

Richard Harris sucked ass as Dumbledore

Who's excited for the new film?

Nah he was way better than Gambon

tbh the films have had a huge impact on me, i'd say even more-so than the books

especially if you grew up (elementary school aged) when the films started coming out, the visuals, the music, etc makes a bigger impact on your concept of the universe than the books (though the books fill a lot of those gaps and help your understanding of what jk rowling wanted)

the mobile game is ****. that is all

Richard Harris played the role of dumbledore perfectly.

Michael Gambon had no idea how to play the role.

examples of this

movie 4, he runs at Harry yelling "HARRY DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIYAH!?!?" as he shakes harry.

Dumbledore never lost his cool like this in the books.

movie 5. he snaps at students to get back to studying after trelawny is kicked out of the school.

Dumbledore would never snap at any students. if anything he would pretend like he didn't see anything or make a joke about it

Think Harry Potter is pretty overrated tbh, as a kid it was ok. Just wasn't dark enough for my liking.

I agree lol, Gandolf was best Dumbledore

Watched the 5th movie last night with my roommate and said literally the exact same thing

Dumbly would never snap at students

I concede

Richard Harris was too old though

Only good HP movies were Goblet of Fire, and the last one. The rest were boring AF to me.

Dudley?

here is another character that the stupid directors completely fked up because they either didn't read the books, or didn't care

mad eye moody. in the book, described as extremely paranoid, and in fear of being poisoned. which is why he sniffs his food before eating it to make sure its not poisoned.

do you think somebody who is extremely paranoid about being poisoned would be overweight like this?




not to mention, his magical eye is not suppose to be strapped around his head like this.


this is how mad eye moody should have looked, skinny with a face like this

oh hell yes

Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you're going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

Here's why:

Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol' American hot lead.

Basilisk? Let's see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren't looking at it--you're looking at a picture of it.

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."

And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

Pretty cool drawing.

But Brendan Gleeson is the sh!t.

About to watch the 2nd movie again.

Finished the books last night

now what should I read

Srs question? You looking for fantasy?

GameOfThrones, the books are amazing, there's a reason for their success and subsequent tv show
The Wise Man's Fearhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wise_Man%27s_Fearand its sequel The Kingkiller Chronicle
Anything by Terry Pratchett's Discworld series(except the childrens books ofc) but these are humoristic

Idk

GoT is by far my favorite TV show, but I'm not all that inclined to start the books when it's unlikely fatty mcfatfuk will ever actually finish them

I get it, but they are worth it, I am yet to find a series that is equal to it in terms of quality and I am an avid fantasy reader

never bothered with that sht

Hated the last half of the last book. Author wimped out on Harry dying permanently and then made them one weird happy family.
