Jazerus posted:this is just a reformulated version of the knight bus problem, i.e. why does nobody just run voldemort over with the teleporting bus If I was Voldemort I would simply apparate next to Harry while he was on his annual scheduled visit to Diagon Alley and use my instant death stick to instantly cause death at him.

Zesty posted:Daniel Radcliffe 'Not Interested' In Returning as Harry Potter Role for Cursed Child I cannot imagine how bad that film would be. It's straight up just the worst plot they could have possibly conceived and even people who still love this stuff would have a hard time swallowing it in film form. A lot of them forgave the play because it was more about the live performance and visual spectacle but a film wouldn't be able to hide behind that.

Cranappleberry posted:The wizarding world is incestuous anyway but dipping the pen in company ink where everyone is working together, maybe closely, or might be a boss/superior or working under them might not be great. Now add in jealousy, bad break-ups and the fact that technically all of them have the ability to do real harm at range and maybe without it being noticed if they're good at magic (lol no). Also imagine dating someone in the wizangamot who literally makes the laws that affects your job. Recusing? Hahahahah Sure, they don't all have to work at the fascist civil service though. By all accounts there are a ton of magical trades and industries. But yeah really it's just a symptom of their twisted little insulated society.

The bulk of the plot is a play on It's a Wonderful Life with some bad end twists thrown in. It's very fanficcy and is basically Shrek 4. Some of the stagecraft was cool though. I remember a bit with some sort of hosed up bookcase being enjoyable.

Man I watched the latest Terf Magic movie... Possibly the most poorly conceived, nonsensical plot of the series. That's including the loving play. The entire first half of the film is spent doing random poo poo that goes nowhere because... Grindelwald randomly sees the future sometimes, which has never come up before? But not in any way that's relevant to the movie or whatever the gently caress Dumbledore was doing. It's straight up just a way to give the characters something to do for an hour. And none of the characters that were part of Dumbledore's crack team (except Dumbledore and the lady with the scary smile) ended up doing anything even at the climax. But somehow Newt saved the day by standing there in the background. And don't even get me started on the deer thing...

I got halfway through the first episode. It's really, really bad. I don't see it mentioned anywhere, it's probably only survived so long because JK demands it. And I sat through the first four turgid audiobooks.

It's not just that it's long - the last book was two years ago. That's a very short time to crank out 1,200 pages. It must be a barely edited, incoherant stream of consciousness.

It's hard enough to tell what individual players are doing on a football pitch from the stands. Quidditch must be like watching a bunch of flies buzz around in the air, and you occasionally see one of them pass a ball to another.

Jazerus posted:the whole point of harry's wealth is to be ambiguously large so that harry can be construed as part of any class and therefore have the broadest appeal. he grew up deprived and poor, inherited a bunch of money, but only spends it on necessities and small luxuries, therefore everyone can see some component of their own financial situation in harry's. it also allows her to write harry as getting whatever he narratively needs to get without uncomfortable questions about how the plucky orphan afforded it, yet also duck under describing him doing any rich person financial things. defining how wealthy harry is by comparing his bank account to the price tag on the firebolt in any way shatters the everyboy illusion He eventually inherited a god drat house in Islington. That'll be a couple mil easy.
