>a-at least the books were good though

If you really need to talk shit about Harry Potter of all fucking things to feel cultured chances are you'll never be as cultured as you fancy yourself to be.

"No!"

CULTURAL
GENOCIDE

Invisible Man in High tier?
Dropped.

what are you racist or something

Not at all. They are the start of one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously 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.

"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.

My nigga you're the first person to get it right

what's wrong with 5?

Fantastic Beasts made me want to get into the series desu. In what order should I watch the movies in?

They're fun

In what order to watch Harry Potter? Why, very quickly, to begin with, and perhaps also to make an end. Why watch it? Presumably, if you cannot be persuaded to watch anything better, Rowling will have to do.

In fucking release order

>posting the bait image without the harry potter pasta
Sad!

>tfw too intelligent to enjoy anything Harry Potter related aside from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
