Default Harry Potter Movies!!

Are being shown on weekends on ITV!!

Prisoner of Azkaban is today's, and it's definitely the best directed of all of them.

As a kid I never noticed how awesome the adult cast are. While a fair few don't match how I imagine them, they're all great actors, real stars.

When I was in my early 20’s I worked somewhere that was open until 10 but really quiet from 6 onwards… we had a TV but it was stuck on ITV2. They showed “The Mummy Returns” like 4 nights a week for months. I knew that film word for word…

Me too if it's a time-travel sci-fi genre but in this case it's nonsense Deus Ex Machina in this case . The fact that it's possible means Dark Wizards would be using it constantly.

1-4 the only ones worth watching. The latter films are just grim and boring.

Oh I watched that at the weekend. I still can't decide if I liked it or not It reminded me a lot of the Wicker Man. I think I'd give it a 6/10

4 is easily the best and 1 + 2 are cute in their own different way. 5 doesn't really work as a movie because the entire book is exposition (though I quite liked the book, long as it is) ... 6 is filler both book and movie, everything in it could have been spread across other entries ... and book 7 don't get me started on that.

Rowling quite clearly wrote book 7 with the movies in the back of her head and it shows in the book. The book reads like movie scripting. Thus, I thought the films were decent enough, but the book doesn't sit right with the rest of the series at all. It should have been 1/3 longer and another 1/3 less "Hollywood action scenes".

Hagrid's flying motorbike death eater chase scene... come on . Too Fast Too Magic Motorbike. It works on screen, it is awful to read.

Yeah, I suppose though it was supposed to be like that, like a cult, like the only reason is "offerings" rather than blood lust kind of a thing

But they don't use it, because if they did they already would have, so they can't make changes because the time passed and they didn't do it!

Exactly. What is stopping them using it, if it exists and is simple enough that it can be handed out to a school kid? They essentially STOP using it because Dumbledore realises that it's a bad idea to **** about with time, don't they? But what's stopping a Dark Wizard with no moral code? The fact that it's established as existing IS the entire problem... just look at any sci fi or fantasy that involves time travel: they always end up needing a "filter" to stop it being a narrative disaster. That's why for example DC has things like "Flashpoint" (to teach The Flash not to mess with time even though he can), and things like the Legends (whose entire remit is keeping time roughly on track when villains try to mess with it)... Terminator basically establishes that trying to change the future is futile... Back To The Future has Doc Brown realise that it's a can of worms and gets Marty to destroy the time machine (then inexplicably throws caution to the eind and builds another)...

The list goes on but essentially "if time travel is possible you have to close the loop". It could be done relatively easily in the HP universe I suppose. Just make it that it's only permitted for "frivolous" things and have there be a Ministry department mysterious, benevolent, all-powerful group of future-wizards!! that exists purely to put things back on track if anyone ****s around, so no one bothers.

But in this case, we know that wizards CAN time travel, but just... don't... with no explanation .

I might write to JK and demand answers. She can just make something up and stick it on that Potter website, then it's canon and I can relax .

I actually like this head-canon and I'm going with it. Countless dark wizards have sent themselves back in time to kill Harry Potter, Terminator style, but NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT IT because there's a taskforce of magical future commandos that swats them like flies as soon as they try, using their superior future-magic.

I only watched the first one. I thought it was okay, but too long, like they tried to put as much from the book in as they could.

And Dumbledore WAS one of these commandos when he was younger which is why he seems to know everything before it happens. Guys this is Harry Potter 2.0 right here.
