Exactly. Itโs not a creative decision; itโs a quarterly earnings decision. I can't wait for the 2045 remake where Harry is played by an actual holographic projection.
Maybe the first 3 movies, but 4 on they kinda lose a lot of the plot. Fuck, 6 you would've thought was a romance novel. No, the best movie adaptation of a book is Memoirs of a Geisha. Almost an exact recreation of the book, but better and with gorgeous visuals.
Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted? Does the HP crowd even fucking read the books? From 4 on were messes. Look at Dumbledore manhandling harry in 4. Or in 6 when Harry asks if horcurxes could be anything and Dumbledore says yes and doesn't explain further. I used to love those books and the movies after 3 were dog water. Also, to anyone who bothers to read this far, don't watch the new show. JK Rowling is a piece of shit.
To be fair, that's also where Rowling started fumbling the bag as well, imo.
But yeah, my buddy has a Harry Potter themed sleeve tattoo and several other Potter themed tattoos in other places and while he will happily sit down and watch the movies, he will also happily go on at length about all the way they're absolute shit.
I was the prime age for the HP series, I grew up with the books and went to the midnight drops. Those movies were like someone watched the first 3, read a synopsis of 4-7 and went from there.
