Klyka's thread is 5-6 months old and the new trailer is out now, so lets try to talk Harry Potter while everyone comes in and shits on the quality of the writing again!
New Trailer!

If you like, because I am meticulous about this shit (and a nerd), I am breaking it down in a spoiler so you can either read my thoughts or skip em
I am excited to see the final part of the final film of the final book of the Harry Potter series until Jo Rowling decides she needs a new home and cashes in again. Also, there has been rumblings about the series coming to a Kindle/Nook/e-reader near you, but they are still considering their options in that.

0:05 - Who is that? Snape? That's weird.
0:08 - Man kid Lily is chunky.
0:26 - That looks like Voldemort curses a Death Eater, which is a weird editing choice. Also, I decided after seeing the whole thing they use that Voldemort yell way too much, this is the first time they use it.
0:37 - Fuck yeah, dragon. I can't remember the dragon being described as albino in the book, though.
0:40 - Hey it is Snape in Godric's Hollow. That's weird.
0:47 - When Harry faced Voldemort in the final battle he jizzed. in. his pants.
0:49 - Voldemort scream 2
0:54 - You can't do shit, Ron. You've basically gone out of your way to fuck shit up.
0:59 - Even for a movie based on a book that came out 3 (now 4) years ago, this is a pretty big spoiler in a trailer.
1:01 - Voldemort scream 3. I don't even know what the hell is happening here.
1:04 - If they show Tonks and Remus' thing I may actually cry like a bitch.
1:06 - Harry could have been cursed 4 times in this sequence. This sequence also doesn't make much sense to me.
1:12 - Voldemort scream 4.
1:15 - Snape with some David Copperfield shit.
1:25 - Fuck yes, bad ass Molly Weasley.
1:28 - Someone, Lupin I think, screaming "Harry!" They introduced this in the 6th movie in the sequence they added on and have used that scream in trailers ever since.
1:33 - Voldemort scream 5.

It's definitely mediocre.
Wish I were a billionaire though.

That's better than the movie she won an Oscar for.
Viscount has the right of it.
I have friends who... seem to be in love with the series but I'm yet to see the attraction
Yeah, I didn't notice it until like, book 5. But by then I was already hooked and had to finish.
At least she made a really cool world with neat characters.
Watching people in their mid to late 20's having wand battles is...ok well its similar to watching them have light sabre battles. Still feel weird. And my boss wants me to dress like Hagrad for the last movie premier.
They are excellent date movies
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
Am I the only one who doesn't have a clue what's happening in this comic?
I have no idea what you mean by that. Its not very well written itself yes, and there are most likely some spelling errors but I'm typing from my phone and its a pain in the ass. Especially with the server errors.
Fucker called me a muggle once.
I am generally incapable of determining what is and what is not good writing.
So I just like the books because "hey, fun wizard story."
Then you look that bitch in the eye and say to them that their patronus must be a tube of colgate
Cause they got a case of serious plaque
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
I'm not so much annoyed by 3D myself as much as I am having to pay double the cost if there isn't a 2D theatrical release. I saw Avatar in 3D. I payed my penance as a movie-going American. Can we stop the 3D now?
I really agree. Really
It seems to me like "good writing" is a really subjective term anyway.
How do you define "good writing," anyway? Apparently it isn't "worth $TEXAS" which is fine. Regardless, her writing was very effective, in that it communicated the story in an exciting way with an interesting plot and intriguing characters.
I dunno, whenever I hear someone say "the writing was awful" or similar I tend to imagine them as a hipster in a black turtleneck smoking on a barstool, drinking cheap wine, and wondering why nobody wants to publish their screenplay. Then again, my chosen profession is engineering, where communicating abstract or complex ideas quickly, clearly, and efficiently is the primary purpose of writing.
Yeah, I never got into the dressing up side of things, but I have friends that did.
And you should come to PAX East dressed as Hagrid next year.
I haven't actually read enough HP to comment on the specific case but trust me, one day you will read something and understand how someone could claim that it was objectively badly written
Then before they can respond you call them a mudblood wannabe and while they are still dealing with that you cap it all off by telling them that if their mother was a witch all the wizards would call her She Who Could Not Get Laid aka Lard Voldemort

What spring does with the cherry trees.
Movies: I agree with vigour
Books: I agree
I liked the third.
Fourth was eh.
Fifth was awful.
And that's all I've seen! I know you all appreciate my valuable opinions on the Harry Potter movie franchise.
(It's surprising that Rupert Grint became the sexiest out of all the actors though.)
What spring does with the cherry trees.
It's opposite day in this thread.
That's the only way the answer to "hottest actor/actress in HP" is anything but the chick who plays Hermione.
Rupert Grint is Weasley, right? He's the ugliest one except for Neville. And Neville... now that is a unfortunate kid.
I still read it and like it.
Wait, let me change that.
I still let Stephen Fry read it to me and I like it.
