This is such bullshit i cant believe im even replying. Deathly Hallows was awesome and just because it didnt follow the normal boarding school formula doesnt mean she wrote it to cash in on the two part adaptation. Thats complete nonsense.

>>3199302 Indeed it is. Sorcerers Stone was the first book to show me the magic of reading. Ill love these books to my dying day.

>> No.3199542

Instead it features 300 pages of aimless wandering and camping.

JKR: Stick. To. The formula.

3rd was the best by far imo, both book and movie

>> No.3200999

The half Blood Prince was my personal favourite.

I had great difficulty putting it down once i started reading.

The order of the phoenix was my least favourite, by some considerable margin.

My guess is that it's a nostalgic thing. One of those things that's utter shit but you can't bear to admit it because it was an essential element of your childhood. Like Nintendo today. If you insult Nintendo, people will treat you like you just shat on their childhood.

One of the worst things I could ever hear in my life is if I put on the sorting hat and it said

"HUFFLEPUFF!"

With that one grim declaration, my mind would forever be shackled with the unforgivable fact that I'm forever doomed to mediocrity.

Having recently marathoned all 8 films back to back, I'm honestly impressed at how Rowling wrote the series as novels, but able to be translated into film. Only the parts from the books that made it to film ended up being important, to the point that the first few watch like plot-disguised-as-filler the whole way through.
