YASSS QUEEN

YASSS QUEEN

also happy birtday

Unfortunately the only royalty she could be is queen 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.

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

>god tier

You're a fucking dip shit that is the most allamentary thing I've ever read

quality banter but Harry Potter is still shit

i swear this whole queen bullshit is the worst meme i've ever seen

I like it.

Ulysses, mid tier?

Look I've read it and there are parts I had to piece together. It was a hard read. But it deserves its status as one of the best books ever written.

>pic still triggers /lit/

it's supposed to be a bit of a meme chart like '/lit/s top 100 books'

Either good counter-bait or you're both newfags who need to leave right now

>allamentary

Glad to see you again Harryposter

>100 years of solitude
>low tier

k

these are the moments in the books i loved as a kid
i'm sure they're still good outside of the tumblr/Sup Forums false dichotomy

>"No!"

yeah but you're a terrible person who contributes nothing to anything and just exists to tear the contributions of other people down

How wide did those centaurs stretch her holes?

That exchange didn't make any sense assuming there are only 2 people speaking. It looks like it should be

>minerva
>mgonnigal
>minerva
>mgonnigal
But in the third line the speaker addresses minerva, so is that supposed to be mgonnigal as well? If it is, it makes that exchange very strange.

The book is generally written from 'arry's perspective, so teacher names are their last name e.g. Professor McGonagall. Umbridge has higher authority than her, so she calls her Minerva since that is her first name to belittle her and show her authority.

more like harry poo-tter

you fucking faggot

shut the fuck up roastie
