Sydin posted:Book 5: Also in Book 5:  "Ughhhhh, none of you can understand what it feels like to be possessed by Voldemort!" "I did, you loving dumbass!"There's the groundwork there of Harry befriending and bonding with Ginny over their shared experiences of being under Voldemort's influence, but no, Harry goes back to ignoring her until his monster rears its head.

YaketySass posted:Don't forget the most important part - their relationship is a way for him to officially become part of her family, the one thing he really wanted all along. I forgot that that was pretty much the main point of Harry marrying Ginny. What a hell of a relationship.  Considering how Harry treats Ron better than Hermione or Ginny, that would've been way better than what we got.

I've said it before: they're getting divorced just like Ron and Hermione except it won't be because of jealousy and friction under the boss. It'll be because of his unresolved PTSD, drinking to deal with the former, government agent/cop attitude and inability to express emotions other than rage. He'll get weekend custody, which will be awkward in his creepy, dour manor in London. They still haven't removed Mrs. Black's painting from the walls.

Ghost Leviathan posted:I used to make jokes about Ginny being basically Amy Rose but Amy has much more character depth and recognised formidability If anything she's like Videl from DBZ. A spunky tomboyish love interest who likes all the same things the male lead likes so he doesn't have to come out of his comfort zone much, and is originally introduced as a capable fighter in their own right. But then as soon as they actually enter a relationship and the plot gets serious they're suddenly relegated to the sideline and lose all personality besides cheerleading for the male lead.

lmao at holding a grudge against the guy tapped to replace the abuser who you went to the mat for, as if it's his fault. Jo is such a loving petty rear end in a top hat. Then again having to interact with Rowling would be a huge step down from smoking weed with Kojima so maybe Mads is better off.

Bleach blond hair and two different colored eyes is exactly what I would expect from someone who chooses to dress like a bohemian pirate irl e: I thought Rowling was the one who insisted on only casting UK actors in the first set of movies so to hear he was her pick for Sirius is extra funny ONE YEAR LATER fucked around with this message at 11:17 on Apr 15, 2022 |

She actually kind of threatens divorce in Cursed Child after Harry keeps loving up with Albus in the same stupid way. It's the one cool thing she does in that story, where she's, of course, reduced to ultramom despite having been a badass professional quidditch player.

Being recently unemployed and tired of waiting around to hear back from the places I've put in applications I actually went to see this. It's hard to describe how little actually happens in the movie. People go places and then just leave without really accomplishing anything. Highlights: Mads makes it easier to understand why people would follow him since he isn't a gross looking weirdo the new Fantastic Beast is very cute there's a cute little bit where the niffler steals stuff from a guard, including his gold tooth Dumbledore and Grindelwald do have some sexual tension in the two scenes where they directly confront each other Newt having to move weird to stop some crab monsters from attacking was funny Lowlights: the scene with Newt moving weird had some nasty tonal whiplash as while he and Theseus are goofing around a monster is killing and eating prisoners the new Fantastic Beast choosing Dumbledore as pure of heart is crap seeing as he spends the entire movie manufacturing events in order to force Grindelwald to try and kill Creedence everything involving the magic election is garbage because you never learn anything about any part of it or even the candidates outside of their names Tina being written out is done very poorly again, nothing really happens in the movie. It feels like the first half of a film stretched out to 2 1/2 hours. Hey, remember how in the last movie they introduced Nagini as a human woman? Guess who isn't in this film at all.

Also despite the whole one thing we knew about Grindelwald before this series was that he was obsessed with the Deathly Hallows there's still no mention of them at all. The only thing is the symbol showing up in his political logo thing.

The only thing is the symbol showing up in his political logo thing. At this point, Grindelwald should have the wand. This may get retconned and it wouldn't surprise me. The invisibility cloak is with the Potter clan still and neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald know about it. The resurrection stone is with the Guants, who may have a kid at Hoggy Warty Hogwarts and/or have someone in the ministry. Neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwaif know about this, either. Maybe they will show the ring or mention the cloak surreptitiously but, uh, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Jakob/Queenie wedding is weird because everybody gets super dressed up and then they just have it at his bakery. Also for how abbreviated the subplot is because it mostly consists of Queenie ignoring Jakob whenever they see each other until the very end where he wins her back with a quick speech about how he loves her. The other absolutely bizarre part of the wedding is Dumbledore talking about it like it is literally the first time Muggles and Wizards have married which is bonkers.

Well the first movie established that in America in the 20’s it was downright illegal for muggles and wizards to marry as I recall, which isn’t a stretch considering, you know, America. But to my knowledge that should be a regional issue and not something British wizards should care about. Actually, yes, I remember now how Newt says something to Tina to the effect of “you silly yanks and your laws, catch up already” regarding…something.

Which is still super bizarre because according to JK's canon their wizard school was literally founded in part by a muggle who married the European witch who brought ~civilized~ magic to the Americas. Despite being a self-taught abused shut in who was denied from formally learning magic. You see she was descended from Salazar Slytherin so she was just better than the natives.

If these movies were based on books, one could make the argument that these adaptations did away with such nonsense and is therefore not canon. But they’re not so I guess this is canon to the Harry Potter universe. I kind of wonder if JK herself forgot that there were books that preceded the movies.

Well I mean the HP movies can always technically wave away any such horseshit lore because they are ultimately adaptations. Like, canonically, the books takes place from, I believe, 1991 onwards. The movies clearly shrugged and went with the practical “it takes place whenever we make the movie”, meaning you get to see the collapse of the Millennium Bridge in movie 6. Unless JK wants to open that can of crazy and insist that the movies are canon just as much as the books, they’re not. Meaning they exist in their own little world, where, if they choose to, they can ignore all the filler details about wizards making GBS threads in the corridors of the school as stuff not being part of their world. These FB movies, though, can’t do that quite as easily though because 1: there’s no books to adapt from and 2: JK is clearly more involved so it has that schizophrenic feel of trying to be the world as described in the books while also visually being part of the world as established by the films. I’m clearly putting too much thought into this tbh. “Movie give money” is the thesis of it all in the end.

bobjr posted:We do never see a lot of together wizard/muggle couples on screen. Apparently Cho marries one but it’s weirdly said like a consolation prize Cho sure got a lot of poo poo for the high crimes of A) Being emotional and broken up about her ex-boyfriend's death, B) Wanting to get closure by talking about it with the guy who last saw Cedric, and C) Standing up for her best friend who made a stupid mistake because she was a scared kid who got pressured by Umbridge, and said friend got disfigured for life by Hermione's trap contract. We all know the answer is because Rowling's a misogynist, but still. Looking back, it's very satisfying how Harry and Cho's relationship imploded because Harry is such an unfeeling jackass who can't even spare one ounce of empathy for Cho.

The Puk-whatever sure as hell didn't see her as a friend; It clearly stated they're only begrudgingly helping her out because she saved him and he owed her one.
