Yes! They made Harry's parents look soooo old in the first movie and I'm like...they were 21 people! I've been ignoring my kids all week to reread it... Can this thread turn into all things wrong with the movies? I’d be down for that. DID YOU PUT YOURRR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!?!?!!?!;&:@;’!!!! Cutting all of harry's smartass remarks and watering down those scenes, turning beauxbatons into a girl's school and durmstrang into a boy's school. Cutting peeves, turning the bloody baron into some kind of circus clown, everything about post-Richard Harris dumbledore.........

Im reading the first one with the kids right now. Im reading out loud from my illustrated copy and then my nieces are following along in their own copies of the book. But its funny because I am reading the British version so every time I read a word thats different we have a tiny vocab lesson. This is the greatest thing ever. I can’t wait to start reading my illustrated copies to my littles. Me too, my DS is kinda sensitive to intense stuff so I wanted to wait a bit but I'm so excited!

She was a piece of furniture in the movies. Book ginny was a total badass. So many characters were relegated to furniture and props in the movies. I kinda get why but also...don't. Lol.

And I'm orettty sure they attributed some of hermione's lines to Ron, I think in the third movie? Yes! I was gonna mention that but I couldnt remember if I was confusing fic or not lol. Also it wasnt potions class in book 1 it was also PoA where he agrees with Snape, my bad lol. Heres a pretty good rundown. But yeah they basically boil Ron down to the comedic side kick and turn Hermione into Harrys right hand woman. Theres also the Mudblood thing, in the books Ron has to explain it to both of them in the movie Hermione tells Harry what it means. How the hell does she know? She grew up in the muggle world. www.mugglenet.com/2015/09/7-times-hermione-granger-took-ron-weasleys-lines-in-the-movies/

Yes, in the books I got why Harry liked Ginny and how their relationship progressed from her being the shy fangirl to becoming her own person and a friend and later love interest. Plus like Harry totes liked her because she was a badass Quidditch player like the other girl Harry had a crush on :cough: Cho Chang :cough:

The meme about Ron breaking his wand reminded me of something. Why did Charlie get a new wand anyways? I'm guessing he bought it out of Hogwarts, but he would only do that if his wand broke or wasn't his wand before. Like how many Weasley's used that wand before Ron broke it?

Freaking David Heyman is to blame for how Ron is. Look. I have my ships. We all have our ships. Don’t give the person who is MY SHIP OR NOTHING executive power.

You’re on tumblr? Same name? I thought they were good. You can really tell that RTD helped moved the process along since this was kind of in the works to be a show but never happened. I’ve gotten through the first three and was feeling my heart strings pulling. There wasn’t a ton of pining, but Rose was on a mission and she’s just Rose ya know? No I go by WillowOdair there and on AO3. Its mostly Teen Wolf stuff these days, as I mentioned most of my DW blogs arent very active anymore I love that RTD was involved. He is such an amazing story teller. I was hit or miss with Moffatt, he writes himself into corners and then pulls some BULLSHIT to get out of it, he works better when there is someone there to kind f temper his ideas ya know? And Matt Smith was just incredible so that I think was the only thing that saved it. And from what Ive heard Chinball is kind of disappointing and boring. Which doesnt actually surprise me because while I loved Broadchurch it was slow as fuck and I really only kept watching because my H was so into it. Like he was MOVED by it. I had the hardest time with Capaldi being the Doctor, mostly because I felt like there were a few episodes where he showed like pure disdain for humans, which is ridiculous because even after the events of Midnight and Time Lord Victorious the Doctor loves humanity and they really dropped the ball with Capaldi IMO. I hated the spider moon episode sooooo much. It was like instant DW boner killer. So I never actually watched anything past his first season, even though I enjoyed his War speech and some of the stuff Ive seen on Tumblr. Then of course there was all the discourse with Jodie Whittakeer becoming the Doctor and dividing the fandom and Ive read a lot that says she is doing her damnedest but the writing is just missing the mark. Which I think has been happening since RTD left in all reality. I will always love Rose, I know she gets a lot of hate but I found her to be a fairly relatable character and was crucial to the Doctor forgiving himself while also just being a badass who really evolved into a strong woman who literally jumped universes partly because she loved the Doctor but also because like the Doctor she wants to help. -cracks knuckles getting ready to type- RTD had this series planned out with Rose but it never got the green light. So he had a lot of insight for the writers. It shows. RTD planned out so many things. He’s a fantastic show runner and truly had a vision for the universe that he brought back. He successfully the other two spinoffs as well. He plans. Moffatt and Chinball are good one off episode writers. Like you said Moffatt needs someone of equal power to tell him to sit the F down. And not retcon his entire series because “such and such is Cool.” Matt and Karen and Arthur were magic and really saved it. Matt is actually my favorite Doctor because he understands that rage beneath. Capaldi’s last season was better because Moffatt was too busy with Sherlock and let other writers take the show and go except for those first and last episodes which -sighs- it’s like the hold my beer meme with Moffatt. You think I can’t screw up years of work in 10 minutes? Watch me. Jodie is brilliant but the writing is crap. They need more ideas and someone to help the show. It’s failing badly. Barrowman and Piper have both expressed interest. Jodie has asked for them and Alex to come back. Ugh. Just kill it or figure out a way to save it. Because it’s sad. It’s so sad and it breaks my heart. Also Rose haters can just go away. She challenged him. She made him better. A lot of the classic fans hated her because of all the love but you know what? The war changed him and he wasn’t the same. And 8 fell for someone too but I won’t get into that because he deserved more.

You really are a woman after my own heart <3 I would love to see Barrowman AT LEAST. Oh hot damn give me Jodie and Alex immediately. Im torn on Rose coming back because I do love her ending with 10.5. Matt vies super hard for my favorite because like you said he gets that rage and his acting is just so powerful Tennant always just edges out because of the Rose storyline and Donna even though I hate her ending. Like should have let her be happy with the bloke from the library GDI!

I have complicated feels about River, THANKS MOFFAT, I barely understood her arc half the time with 11 honestly but like I said I havent seen any more of Capaldi and the impression that I got from memes and gifs was they fleshed it out more with him and her. But alas tumblr is a fickle creature and Im aware many fans put more effort into building the relationship from very little than the actual creators. Hello STEREK lol. And plus of course my Rose/Doctor feels are always the top dog in any scenario. And Ill also give you I kind of hated they were falling in/out of love separately or backwards or whatever. Like it was kind of a bummer for me. And very much like "you're supposed to fall in love with her because she says you eventually are and what not." And of course he remembers the first time he met her and she basically fucking died, so a little guilt thrown in here you go.

I was all for the Doctor finding someone who wouldn’t fade from him etc. But like you said, you can’t guilt people into it. Or MARRY YOU TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE. Like it’s just not genuine. Just a forced relationship. Let the man have something real.

You have all my sympathies for sure.

Is anyone following the craziness going on with Cursed Child?!! JK Rowling broke her twitter hiatus for it. Times Square was filled with Cursed Child stuff going on and they changed the logo outside of the lyric theater. Rumor has it it’s more than just a rebranding now that WB owns Cursed Child.
The rumors are all over the place from a novel, a tv show, a movie and nothing. I am curious to see what is going to happen.

Unless it's just to have access to the younger generation characters.
