Comments on: Harry Potter and the Dirty Secret https://www.robohara.com/?p=8249 The Adventures of Rob, Susan, Mason and Morgan O'Hara Mon, 21 Sep 2015 20:35:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Charles Pearson https://www.robohara.com/?p=8249#comment-4305 Mon, 21 Sep 2015 20:35:31 +0000 http://www.robohara.com/?p=8249#comment-4305 I’m not going to exhort you to read the books because – based on what I’ve observed – you don’t read a lot of fiction. However, if you do decide to take the plunge, you won’t regret it. The HP books are an amazingly easy read – most YA fiction are easy reads – and you’ll be through the first book before you realize it.

It wasn’t until I watched the 3rd and 4th movies that I realized how appallingly bad the first two movies were. Not because of the acting or the script but the really terrible FX the movies had. I cringe when I see those movies now (mostly when I’m channel surfing).

BTW don’t watch the very end of the last movie where they are at the train station! Oops. Sorry, I should have warned you before you saw the last movie. It just plain sucked and it was not any better in the book.

I third that you should try to read the books sometime. Even (or perhaps due to) breaking the last book into two movies, the Deathly Hallows films really did NOT capture the final book well, I was disappointed. Also, much like the special effects in the movies improve over time, J.K. Rowling really improves with each book (with the exception, at least for me, of Book 5, which I thought could have used some editing, and Harry’s “Anger” was too one note, on the page.)

I find it so sad that you just discovered the wizarding world of Harry Potter. May I suggest reading the series? The movies were great but the books were so much better. River read the entire series for the second time this summer. David and I both enjoyed the writing much more than movies.
