@ChristiJunior @LukeAlmighty @beardalaxy I stopped trying to make sense and consistency of Harry Potter a long ago, it's just a franchise for kids that's centered around school and the entire worldbuilding is subordinate to the school. simple as that
that being said, the Prisoner of Azkaban is still probably the Harry Potter movie I remember the most fondly. deranged yet comfy

For me, the best one is the chamber of secrets.
By far the best one.

@grips @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy
And I seriously don't understand why so many people like the Azkaban the most. But everyone who's favorite is Azkaban had also read the books. That is a common link.

I am not asking I know you have read it.

@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy oh yeah, I devoured the books when I was 7-9. it's funny because I don't remember much from them, and they all feel the same
@LukeAlmighty @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy to each their own! I found it a bit too depressing but the ending is good

@grips @ChristiJunior @beardalaxy
The premise is about someone being tortured in the worst prison by mistake.
It introduced the "memory eating" monsters, who try to depress you to death.
The kindest character is a fucking werewolf.
The entire environment changes in order to take any semblance of familiarity away from the movie.

The memory eaters attacked even during the football.
There were also monsters that outright personify your fear.

You know... a happy movie. :ablobcatcaramelldansen:

@LukeAlmighty @grips @ChristiJunior i haven't seen harry potter since the last movie came out. i really don't remember which one was my favorite or anything. i read all the books too. those memories are stored so far back in my mind that i can't actually recall much of what happens in the series without someone else bringing it up first. i know i liked it a lot as a kid and a young teenager, but as soon as the movie series ended it completely faded away into obscurity for me and i lost interest entirely.

over the years i have dug around a little bit in the lore and such, and yeah, it's definitely just a series made for kids without a whole lot of thought put into the way the world works..... a lot of that came waaaay later when jk rowling would just make up shit like a spell to get rid of feces or whatever. or dumbledore being gay.

as far as fantasy series go that i have personally experienced, i think zelda is the most intriguing lore-wise (even though it was largely made up on the fly and had no real connection until wind waker). lord of the rings is also very meticulously created and i can appreciate the hell out of that.
