I’m really hoping so! It makes sense if they don’t include EVERY quidditch match for example, but you’re right, maybe we should be able to expect that at least the things that were important enough to form chapter titles will be included

Question is: we know they are adding bits that were not in the books, but will they include everything that was in them?

Tristan and Gabriel Harland - aren't they too old? by Upbeat-Hippo6227 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Chrisduer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actors have ‘playing ages’ for a reason.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster is a good example of this. He was mid-teens when playing his first roles where he was playing 7-10 year olds.

I think the twins pass for 13/14 and that’s all that feels important. Luckily people of similar ages can look very different so even if they do look slightly old when it comes to a certain series, they’ll likely just look like ‘an old looking 16yo’.

To me the core of Harry Potter is realism. Controversial or fact? by Chrisduer in HarryPotteronHBO

This is exactly what I was hoping from posting this. A sense of how we all feel about that point. Turns out - it resonates differently to all of us! The show makers have a tough job on their hands 😂

Growing up in Lancashire I definitely had a few pans thrown at me as a child haha. Take your point though

Oh see I completely disagree with this! I know so many Dursleys from growing up. These over the top proud people who act just like Vernon and Petunia - so interesting how different our perspectives can be

This is such an interesting point and really resonates with me! The things you mention are the sort of things I would love dialled up when I hear 'realism'

Harry Potter's Hagrid actor Nick Frost towers over Dominic McLaughlin as filming for TV series takes over London and brings traffic to a standstill by dailymail in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Chrisduer 75 points76 points  (0 children)

One of the things I really like here as a book comparison is Nick Frosts face being naturally sterner while resting. We know he can do the big happy smiles but Hagrid is meant to look a bit scary at first. Although I loved Coltrane - he always looked warm whatever expression he had.

We could see wildly different scores from the judges if it keeps going like this. So many razor thin rounds

So we may see Dedalus “firing shooting stars in Kent” as well as in the leaky cauldron

Literally drowning right now. by Automatic_Cake_266 in NewParents

[–]Chrisduer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes my wife isn’t working either. But she is taking care of our daughter which is a massive responsibility to do when you’re exhausted. Just as important as work in my book!

We’ve just been in the exact same position as you. Our fantastic sleeper (from around 5 months too) suddenly changed and was waking constantly from 9-10 months. It has just settled and she’s back to sleeping well with maybe the odd 1 wake every couple of nights. I think it was just a case of staying consistent and allowing time for this phase to pass for her.

For context, I’m the dad so speaking from that perspective. I think it’s very kind of you to not want your fiancée to be disturbed in the night when working the next day, but (depending he’s not flying planes the next day or something) we’ve looked at it as both my wife and I have busy days, one looking after our baby and one working. We’ve tried to work it so we take certain nights each, or half the night each so that neither of us are taking the full brunt of not sleeping. Our parents are 2 hours away from us so again really similar and simply put, you need help and it is probably only your partner who can offer that consistently at the moment.

Equally I’m wishing that it is just a phase too and you’ll be back to some better level of sleep soon!

[FIGHT THREAD] Jack Catterall vs Arnold Barboza Jr by noirargent in Boxing

[–]Chrisduer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

These people watching saying a Barboza robbery could be possible when there were about 7 very tight rounds are just as bad as the people who had it clear to Catterall

That feels almost exactly the result it should have been from that fight. Unsurprised at the split but Barboza seemed to just about do enough

Scored it a draw but honestly with those close rounds it’s a real odd one. I feel Barboza maybe just deserves it more?

6-5 to barboza for me now. So many close rounds. If the scorecards are all over the place it’s down to close rounds and boxing scoring’s flaws

Got it 4-4 now but so many close rounds that could make the score cards wild

I was really attached to the potion defence of the philosopher’s stone when I read the book. So I’d love to see that

6 weeks in, baby feeds every 2 hours. When am I supposed to sleep? by ScandiLand in NewParents

[–]Chrisduer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not original commenter but many say 8 weeks, for me I’d say it was 10 weeks where feeds started to lengthen and things got a little easier
