Ghost Leviathan posted:Very Star Wars Sequels energy. Yeah people describe these movies as the prequels but thing is the prequels have charming actors and fun ideas even if they suck. Fantastic Beasts is the sequels: absolutely nothing interesting to say, maybe a character or two who could have been interesting (Dan Fogler muggle guy)

Sydin posted:Far be it from me to ask Jo to write more romance because Ginny was really better off as a tomboy who was only shy because she had a crush on Harry as a kid, then grew out of it and became her own person. Her going "I was waiting for you to notice me all this time" was super regressive. Hell, dating Harry didn't even mean poo poo since he didn't include her in his plans and ditched her in book 7 to "protect her." Though the worst part about the Harry/Ginny romance is how Oedipal it is. Harry spent his time at Hogwarts hearing how his mom was a redhead who was friendly to students, lively and charismatic, great at charms and has a fierce temper - all traits that Ginny has.

but Ginny and Harry date for all of ten chapters in HBP - largely offscreen - before acting like eternal soulmates at the start of DH and then going on to get married.
|
Harry winding up with Ginny is like..."Well, these were basically the first people I met when I became a wizard, have to be a part of their family now." Also reminded me a little of that Seinfeld episode where George gradually realizes he's dating a woman entirely because she looks like Jerry

So if any of you are slightly older goons, you might recallthere was a Let's Play of many Harry Potter games done by Dr. Roosevelt and friends over ten years ago now. I loved them and saved a few, mainly because blip and Viddler wouldn't play them on my browser so I had to download them to watch them. Luckily I did this because when those sites died, the videos died with them. I recently uploaded all the vids I had to YT to share and also to hopefully find more videos saved by other people. A week ago my hopes were fulfilled as somebody left a comment and shared with me most videos of Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ-06zMCdll3emOBBReTtQHUApuS4SKdB Still no complete set but far more complete than it was with just my offerings. This will always be my favorite video, though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeyZy-0mNHs

I'm almost afraid to ask but, did Rowling make up any stupid and messed up lore for Luna after the books were over? As far as I know, only Neville and Luna managed to escape any of Rowling's batshit lore.

Which makes her roughly the only person in the world who doesn't marry the person she started dating in high school

I think she goes on to prove that the various wacky creatures she believes in do in fact exist, which is cute. It’s kinda funny, and clearly a product of Rowling becoming a celebrity, how the Daily Prophet goes from the respectable mainstream paper to a tabloid rag. Meanwhile the Quibbler ends up being the paper that speaks truth to power and the Lovegoods end up being absolutely correct. E: Actually it’s a really fun idea that wizards treat their equivalent of the Sun as the bigbrain serious news and treat the most accurate paper as Weekly World News. It’s absurd on its face that literal wizards wouldn’t believe in certain magical creatures and artifacts so gently caress it, just run with it.

I can’t remember from the top of my head if it has already come up in this thread and I don’t have the power to search: What the hell is up with Dumbledore‘s brother and that goat thing? Why is the only implication of non-normative sex, that is actually in the books, apparently about bestiality?

Most of the stuff Luna says and that’s in the Quibbler is actually pretty out there and wrong, like Cornelius Fudge having an army of fire giants or Sirius Black actually being Stubby Bodeman or whoever. Hermione is still a dick for constantly assuming the entirety of universal knowledge is contained in her school books tho, so it’s cool she gets dunked on for this for a lot of the last two books.

It always felt kinda bullshit that Hermione went through her entirely mundane muggle childhood, until presumably only slightly earlier than Harry at most, before finding out that all the magical wizards and monsters in fairy tales are all 100% real exactly as presented, and then after like five years of Wizard Middle School is drawing arbitrary lines that, no, THESE things are totally fake. You already had one huge revelation that completely overturned your established worldview, why are you sure that it can't happen again?

Also even like how she kept getting thoroughly embarrassed by the Half-Blood Prince all throughout book 6. She sees evidence that most of the wizards around her are lazy and basic as hell, and then Harry find some marginalia that improves upon literally everything in the standard potions book. You would think this would at least lead her to the revelation "the books can only take me so far and I need to do my own experimentation" but instead she just doubles down on "must. follow. book. exactly"

I can only assume that all the 11-year-olds born into the wizarding world are constantly trying to gaslight all those born muggles into believing all sorts of untrue poo poo about magic, and Hermione latched onto her ability to read as a defense mechanism. Come to think of it, when a wizard falls in love with a muggle, at what point is it okay to tell them about magic? When they get married? When all of a sudden you've got to pull your kid out of public school because of their special needs?

apparently you need to get married first because seamus (or another similar minor character) has a semi-joke where he talks about what a shock finding out his mom was a wizard for his dad on their wedding night. it's very weird, especially coming from an author who has spent most of her life in de facto relationships to the best of my knowledge

Canonically, McGonagall became a cop because she loved a muggle boy but didn't want to leave wizard society, which raises questions. Later her beloved scottish muggle farm boy and his whole family gets murdered by the wizard nazis. This leads to her marrying her much older cop boss. He dies shortly after from a poisonous plant, and that's what convinces her to become a teacher.
