    hearing all the people gushing about the magic of the franchise and getting giddy over what house they will choose honestly gives me the heebie jeebies. like i grew up with it too, i have zero clue how theyre mustering all this enthusiasm for bad performances by child actors.

      Also yeah I already had one awkward teenage phase in a English style boarding school, don't need another one.

        maybe i was just destined to not give a fuck. i feel like pokemon starters have better characterization than what is in the harry potter movies :shrug-outta-hecks:

          yeah, pretty much. gryffindor is the good guys who are cool and nice, slytherin is the bad guys who are evil and slimy and live in a dungeon. ravenclaw and hufflepuff are, like, there. sometimes. thats pretty much it

        on the whole the first two films are still pretty good if you entirely divorce them from JK Rowling but the child actors were very unambiguously bad (except for emma watson, she managed to make Hermione seem exactly the right level of self assured annoying teacher’s pet she is in the first few books)

          Hard-core disagree, they did a decent job. They conveyed shock, surprise, fear, and all their emotions decently. Some lines were clunky but that's because they're talking about weird British magic stuff
