They'd throw in a few scenes but mostly it was the ramped up action/mystery which is totally not even my favourite parts of the books. 7 seasons, 12 episodes in each, you could fit in so much brilliance and character development and FUN.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259549933849264277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-32009511955419726022014-05-14T21:40:39.733+01:002014-05-14T21:40:39.733+01:00Now that you mentioned HBO I just picture some wei...Now that you mentioned HBO I just picture some weird Harry Potter/Game of Thrones hybridRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16456600806188531803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-33081756625526646042014-05-14T19:48:20.516+01:002014-05-14T19:48:20.516+01:00IMAGINE HOW GOOD A TV SHOW WOULD BE!!

Any other time, I don't really think about him, but with these films I'm like 'where's Snape? What's Snape doing? I LOVE YOU AR!' <br /><br />I can definitely see myself turning to these films for a bit of HP comfort, even if they're not perfect. Because Snape is perfect, and Daniel Radcliffe is actually a pretty good Harry and yeah. They're bad, but they're still weirdly comforting.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-6308148760394329542014-05-12T17:20:25.263+01:002014-05-12T17:20:25.263+01:00I would say we should do a HP watch-along although...I would say we should do a HP watch-along although doesn't sound like you'd be too into that. Unless of course it involved us collectively bitching about all the missing stuff. But maaaan, if they were to do a TV show, I would be 100% for that.

And if they don't, well, they're probably not actually real people at all so it doesn't matter what they say. <br /><br />I have a soft spot for the films because I love that they were made, but I used to rant and rave after seeing each one at the cinema because of all the things they missed out or changed. But now that enough time has passed I basically turn to them as a source of comfort when I can't be bothered to actually read the books but need some HP nourishment in my life.
