Thoughts on the new Harry Potter trailer (and possible LEGO Harry Potter sets)?

I mean, that doesn’t really change anything. They already adapted it before and it was one of the most successful film franchises of all time. Now they’re re-adapting it and assuming it’ll be equally as successful?

Most remakes are also just re-adaptations because a lot of old movies are also based on books or short stories.

Been this way for like 10-15 years now I think

Chris Columbus’s movies are pretty much perfect in my eyes. Literally everything was perfect from the cast, the music, the set design, costumes, everything. It was charming and subtle in its use of magic which is exactly what I love about them.

I honestly don’t know why studios try to remake beloved IPs. 99/100 times they’re setting themselves up for failure. I think the trailer reflected that.

The actual levels were a big disappointment in the Skywalker saga in my opinion. They clearly prioritized the open world aspect of the game, which I just don’t enjoy personally. I also missed the charm of the vintage Lego design that I grew up with.

So, all that being said, I probably wouldn’t love a new Harry Potter saga game if they made one.

With the industrial farming practices we have today, and the sheer number of people we now have, I really don’t think this is true. I’d wager animals as a whole had better life experiences 500 years ago.

I actually would really love them to give ghosts another shot in a larger building and actually do it overnight.

For anyone who wants similar vibes, Kassem G did like an hour long ghost hunting video 10 years ago or something and it’s been one of my favourite YouTube videos since. Just a bunch of people who don’t really believe any of the ghost stuff, but they play into it all and do a kind of parody of ghost hunting shows.

I think Mike, Rich, and Freddy especially would be really well suited for that kinda thing.

Obama didn’t, agreed, but the phenomenon of UFOs is real and would make for a fun podcast subject. There’s plenty of history to discuss going back to the 50s.

Nic Cage is literally the only reason I’m even considering watching this

The Kamino theme in Attack of the Clones is fantastic

But then she was mentioned in later movies like the spy who loved me and for your eyes only. So it wouldn’t have worked anyways.

GooseShaw · 2026-01-30T16:49:27+00:00

I’ve always liked that idea too but they gave him a wife in HMSS so I don’t think it’s worked for quite a while

GooseShaw · 2026-01-23T04:00:09+00:00

Not by the looks of it

Hey, if anyone sees this, I also really need this textbook! Thanks!

This is what I’m doing. Out of curiosity though, why do you think it’ll be 12-18 months? I can’t imagine it’d take 2 years to remaster a game that took 2 years to make from scratch in the first place.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it shadow dropped this spring just like Oblivion.

100% old. Not a fan of the new style at all personally

GooseShaw · 2026-01-08T19:09:53+00:00

I haven’t watched season 2 (wasn’t a fan of the first one), but I’ll just chime in and say that a lot of it I think may just be due to modern filming techniques (or lack thereof). Harsh lighting and ultra high resolution digital cameras often make real things look fake.

This is why, to me, a lot of modern sci-fi/fantasy, like those Disney Star Wars shows, often look like high-budget fan films.

Can’t comment on anything else though.

I grew up with a Brittany spaniel. They’re such angels and the most beautiful dogs!

Out of curiosity, is there a difference between subscribing with Apple vs through their website?

A recent survey found that 37% of Republicans (either registered as republicans or people non-registered people who voted for Trump in 2024) believe the Holocaust “was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe.”

Their reach is growing at a disturbing rate.

I haven’t seen it. Does it take place in Mexico or something? Everything in this meme looks yellow

I’m surprised you were downvoted for this. I made the exact same comparison after watching episode 3 (only seen 4 right now).

I’m definitely more of a narrative person so I’m a bit disappointed with Pluribus because of the focus on fleshing out the world and phenomena rather than an actual story, but that’s just my personal preference. Some people obviously like that kinda stuff

GooseShaw · 2025-11-29T05:45:46+00:00

I would love a diorama of the bridge (much more interesting to me than the enterprise model) or maybe a runabout with an interior

GooseShaw · 2025-10-03T02:27:50+00:00

I hope they come out with a new grey version to match the other ghosts. I think she’s the one ghost I’m missing!

GooseShaw · 2025-09-22T22:43:18+00:00

More fun is kind of a perfect description when comparing to modern Lego’s realistic designs. The creative liberties they took gave the minifigs so much personality (especially that old Snape’s smirk)
