Re: An HP fan theory. Does it make sense?

... the idea that magic has dwindled since Merlin was around. As to the magic community being baffled by technology; I think that is mainly down to Rowling not creating a logical magical system, and using it as an justification for the insularity of wizards (especially pure blood families). Personally ...

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them

Perhaps it was the world of Harry Potter that kept my mind intrigued, or perhaps even more so it was JK Rowling's ability to capitivate with you world so grande and filled with fantasy. The recreation of New York was perhaps the most magical part of the film. Eddie Redmayne ...

"Arrival"--Coming to your future yesterday

... what with the excellent leading cast, the enticing trailer and the now inexplicable R/T rating up in the stratosphere. This is like getting J K Rowling to re-write 2001 only with 12 rounded monoliths, music you don't notice, totally inept aliens, and glowering, unimaginative, one-dimensional ...

Re: Famous Movies Better/Worse than Books They Were Adapted

... for movies I think are better than the novels, I'd honestly say Harry Potter. I hate both but at least with the movies I don't have to bear with Rowling's AWFUL writing and I do think that the casting and visual flair is pretty good at least.

harry potter and the deathly hallows part I (david yates)

... whenever something bad happens in this series, it comes from within; the wavering of their idealism, tolerance and discipline. the lesson that rowling and yates teach again and again is that heroism isn't about being pure--no major character comes close in this picture, each and every one struggling ...
