    In case you wanna know Voldemort's motivation, he was obsessed with Dark magic. Like Witchcraft and black potions. He was a brilliant student at House Slytherin. But Dark Magic was a toxic notion for him so they had to lock him in an institution. And his obsession grew so potently due to how much power it had. Plus he had Thanatophobia, and Dark Magic was a path way to many abilities he urged for. And then it corrupted him into his deformed and eerie abomination willing to defile the wizarding world

The inconsistent magic has always been something I have laughed at (I have read this series over 14 times and watched the movies countless times).

  • @Primisshorts01
    @Primisshorts01 3 місяці тому

    I like how you weren't just hating like some ppl do, and actually giving reasons for disliking the series. I'm a massive potterhead and I'll try to give my defense. From what i gathered, I think the main reason you dislike the movies is that there are a lot of plot holes, and not everything makes a ton of sense, I think most of that is because the movies don't go to deep into details since they couldn't in just 2 hours. The movies were specifically made to the book readers. Yes, many good movies can stand alone as movies, Lord of the Rings is probably the best example of this (although imo Hunger Games comes close). But Harry Potter is a pretty difficult book to turn into a movie. Too much happened in the book for the movie to show all of it, so they just showed WHAT happened instead of explaining WHY it happened. In the books we're in Harrys head the entire time, hearing his thoughts and all, which is hard for the movies to show. One thing to note is that the LOTR books were, in many ways, easier to make into a movie. Mostly because Tolkien was EXTREMELY descriptive (which is good), if you've read his books you'll know he can go on forever describing landscapes and sceneries and go into extreme detail on whats happening, which can be showed in seconds in a movie. Rowling didn't really do that, she usually got straight to the point, which means there was a lot more action than LOTR. However part the reason the Potter movies were such a success was because of the way it perfectly aligned with book, anyone who read the books would perfectly understand whats happening. However the non book readers didn't really get everything, because if the films explained everything, they would have to cut some other scenes. So basically if you read the books, you don't need the movies to explain everything since you already know it, it can just play out. Explaining it would make them leave out some stuff the book readers wanted to see. Another thing thats kind of inconsistent about the movies is the amount of directors they had, they went through 4 I think. The worst director imo was the one for the 4th movie (my least favorite movie). So the movies have a slightly different feel to them. I have a lot of problems with the writing tho, Steve Kloves wrote 7 of them (the only movie he didn't write was the fifth one which is my personal fav), and I just didn't like some of it. The worst example is how they made Ron stupid and Hermione a goddess. I would recommend reading the books, it's at the 4th book where it starts to get really good. The first three were mostly targeting younger kids, the 4th and up are more targeted towards a teen/ya audience. The books are way better then the movies imo. also just fyi Rowling said before that she regretted making the time turners since they created so many plot holes (and a bad spin off). So they were all destroyed in the 5th book (not mentioned in the movies that I remember). If you have any questions/arguments about anything related to hp, reply to this comment, I'll answer.

      Thanks for the info! I actually never knew about the multiple directors they had over the course of the series, but looking back on the films, that makes a lot of sense. It is a shame they didn't have one director able to complete a full adaptation of the books because I imagine if they did, the movies would flow together in a far more compelling way with less plot holes and inconsistencies

    Ouch, who hurt you? Yes WB cashed in, but they did with other 1000’s of movies they’ve produced over the years too 😂. Agree about the magic usage, not all of it, non verbal spells are covered off in the books. And the wandless stuff is usually simple spells done by the higher up wizards which I’m actually not sure is in the books. But agreed the world built by Rowling does have issues on how magic is used and there’s plenty of room for ‘why didn’t they just use such and such spell?’ And the later Magical Creatures films haven’t helped with that. Rowling realised her mistake with the time turners and they all got destroyed in the 5th book I think. But yeah I agree, in a world where there is literally a spell for everything, it’s pretty difficult to maintain a cogent view on the stakes when they can turn each other into teapots whenever they want. I enjoyed the books.

  • @Bradman1978

    I agree with 80% of what you said. I think the HP movies are a bastardation of the books. Once you get to the Goblet of Fire in the book it becomes Harry starts earning magic and it's the adults that ignore Harry that fuck everything up. And yes time travel is stupid at the best of times to where all time magic was destroyed off the face of the HP verse at the end of Order. Mostly I disagree with you saying LotR is good. Those movies are a worse bastardation than the HP movies. I been a fan of LotR since the 80's and when so much important stuff way through out, characters were completely altered, and motivations were fabricated. It pisses me off. If you read the books first, the movies are total shit no matter what the movie is.

      Having read the Lord of the Rings books before I watched the movies, I completely disagree.

Change is necessary when adapting a novel to film, and I think it was handled exceptionally well in that case

Moreover, the removal of Saraman was unforgivable. The worse part was completely changing Theramoore from a wise man that knows peril to basically a clone of him older brother who tried to take the ring. I am of the opinion that the plot was altered beyond consideration and could have been named something else. and it would not even be considered plagiarism.
