You must be new.

Hit him with the copypasta, lads!

>feigning ignorance
you know what's coming

no but you're about to receive some dullestkino

I doubt there are others, as Harry Potter is without exception the dullest franchises 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.

>a-at least the books were good though
"Brap!"
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.

"Kino" is not how I'd describe one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises.

I don't get everyone's hard-on for Order of the Phoenix. It was short, it was rushed and they fucked up Sirius's death scene.

They don't make 'em like this anymore

You went about creating the thread the wrong way, OP. If you were here a bit longer you'd know the pasta is like the mascot for HP threads. It's not even meant to be malicious it's just become part of it
And freaking out at everyone isn't gonna get you a good thread

Is magic even a genre? I guess there's magic/fairy-tale stuff in Disney movies but I think Harry Potter with the live action magic and wand action is a genre on its own
