Richard Harris was a fine actor, but I'll never understand why he made Dumbledore sound like he was dying of emphysema. "Welcome...wheeze...to Hogwarts...wheeze...school." Dumbledore was old, yes, but he wasn't decrepit.

yeah, neither are very good. He was also really old, and the casting people didnt realize how much physical stuff Dumbledore would have to do.

it was bad casting overall imo

Nah, I don't buy the "Harris was old" thing, because there are interviews on the Sorcerer's Stone DVD he gave on-set, and sounds perfectly fine.

If he clapped like a normal person, the sound would be filled with uncontrolled magical energy that would destroy Hogwarts, clearly.

he was good as an older Dumbledore sitting in a chair. But he would never be able to do the physical stuff that would come in books 5 and 6

smart idea. They are terrible movies (which is a shame because theyre the best books in the series...)

the 5th movie isnt so bad though.

in fact even movies 1-4 arent even that good. The only respectable one is the third, but thats only because of Alfonso Cuarons directing

Imagine if they'd held off on the films and made them now when all the millenials are old and depressed, they'd make fucking bank and they might have even been good.

Admittedly JK Rowling shooting her brand in the foot would have ruined that.

Im re-reading them as well, for the first time since the final book came out (I think 2007?) Im on book 6 now, but each book is better than the one before it. You can see her writing develop with each one

i think it would probably be a Netflix / HBO series if they made it today. With each book getting 8-10 episodes

Probably? A lot of books, Harry Potter included, are very episodic with each chapter being its own mini narrative. Making them into movies is often a poor fit.

The issue is that the Harry Potter books are often overflowing with details that are very paper thin. Rowling is a notoriously poor world builder. I'm not sure if that would hold up in a TV format, at least not well.

No.

1-2 were good, 6-7 were good.

The rest are dogshit. Not even worth watching. Especially 4 and 5. Which sucks because 4 is my favorite book. and its the worst one.

I mean I think the first part of Deathly Hallows is a joke, nothing of real note happens in it, the entire movie is setting up the second part. Now if you just consider it one long ass movie, it's pretty good but split in two I was pretty disappointed with the first part coming out of the theater.

LOL, the 5th movie is easily the worst. Made the longest book to that point into the shortest film. Neutered Umbridge, fucked over Cho as a character, and cut one of the best subplots of the series (the faculty rebellion).

Why would there be tension in a movie where a serial killer is trying to murder a child in a school surrounded by literal fear itself? When in the book he literally showed up in rons bed with a knife and fucked up his curtains? Yeah why would we ever need tension?...

Harry Potter book nerd here, read it several times.

1-4 are amazing
5 was good
6-7 were good in their own regards but fail to stand up other then its "endgame" premise, JK Rowling's writing is strongest when her formula primarily keeps to the school class schedule along with the relationships they make and new things Harry learns. Best when there is mystery and intrigue.

Topic made me miss all the old men in fantasy films Count Dooku/Saruman is gone but at least we have Magneto/Gandalf.
