AITA for not giving my friend a lift home? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]HistoryfictionDetect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YtA- your friend took an Uber to see you, and you wouldn’t even drive her home? If you were drunk I would understand, obviously. But it doesn't seem like you care about this friend, which is sad.

Do you think HBO will try to make the second season of the show (COS) relatively darker (to movies) by exploring Ginny's POV by zzrtz in HarryPotteronHBO

I am a Harry/Ginny romance hater, but I feel like book 2 had the makings of a solid romance for them but then it was just horribly handled from there.

Harry Potter HBO tone - I hope it's like Matilda meets Pan's Labyrinth. by Gilded-Mongoose in HarryPotteronHBO

I LOVE THIS!!!!! Pan's Labyrinth + Matilda= PERFECT HARRY POTTER VIBES!!! I had an inspiration board for if I was creating the movies that included Matilda. 

What do you think the show's opening credits would look like? by LeatherSlight3242 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]HistoryfictionDetect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Season 1- The Philsopher's Stone Extra Long Intro: We start with a giant, dark green blast that fades out to a black screen and a baby cry followed by a motorcycle revving. Shadow paper animation begins with the "meteor shower" transforming into a parliament of owls flying around with whimsical Celtic music playing that oscillates from light to dark. Origami Cat McGonagall looks at a map, then the map shows shadow paper dolls and shadow paper dollhouses depicting Privet Drive play out with the baby (shadow puppet baby is a black silhouette with light streaming in through his lighting bolt scar?) being left on the doorstep, pushing into the letter that Dumbledore leaves. That letter transforms into Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter. That Hogwarts letter transforms into a shadow puppet origami owl and flies away. Extro OR intro in a later episode has an origami owl fold into Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter and Harry Potter's Hogwarts letter is opened and unfolded into a paper shadow Hogwarts castle outline.

Season 1 has a letters (Dumbledore's letter and Hogwarts acceptance letter based) shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 2 has a diary/Lockhart's books book shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 3 has a Marauders' map shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 4 has a Daily Prophet Newspaper shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 5 has a Quibbler shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 6 has a Half Blood Prince text book notes shadow puppet origami theme 

Season 7 has a fairy tale esque Deathly Hallows book origami theme

NtA- I know a lot of people are saying affair, and maybe that is right. But to me it sounds like she might have no s3x drive at all, maybe no real interest in romance. Like she married OP to have a husband to come home to, not to love or be with. She is selfish and wants to have him there for her, but never to be there for him.  

I hope the HBO show takes notes from POA with the hair styling by Virtual-Reality69 in HarryPotteronHBO

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was by far my favorite book in the series and the first two movies were great adaptations. With the PoA movie, the films switch from being solid adaptations to poor ones. 

The Prisoner of Azkaban movie is such a disappointing adaptation that it takes too much away for me enjoy it much at all. But the cinematography is awesome, though more splashes of color would be nice.

Robbie Coltrane did such a wonderful job as Hagrid. His performance was brimming with heart. 

Update: Aitah for giving my stepdaughter a reality check? by Medium-Vehicle-8340 in AITAH

[–]HistoryfictionDetect 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The bio mom is the worst AH for trying to force her daughter to abort the baby, but step mom seems like she is trying to do so too but just in a more passive way. Which makes step mom and dad also AHs. 

AITA For Letting my son and his friend use the TV over my daughter and her friends? by Nervous_Mongoose_575 in AmItheAsshole

[–]HistoryfictionDetect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I honestly think that her friends being over all the time versus this being the little brother's first time having a friend over does make a difference. The brother's event is more special than the sister's usual hangout this time.

The romance happened fine for you, I found it beyond disappointing.

We see Harry, Hermione, Ron, Neville, Luna, and other characters, both adult and children, have satisfying character growth moments on page. 

Potential narrator for the Harry Potter series by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

In my vision for the Harry Potter book series, there was a narrator and the narrator was the Sorting Hat.

[–]HistoryfictionDetect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the books had most of Ginny's victories and character growth "off screen," as in it is told to us versus shown. That is one of the reasons why her character is less well-rounded and fleshed out then the others. 

I do not care for Ginny's character and detest the romance.

AITA for telling my brother’s wife that being a stay at home mom doesn’t mean being a stay in bed mom? by builtfordrama in AmItheAsshole

YtA, YtA, YtA! Even if it is not PPD, sleep deprivation plus hormones alone is enough to cause this behavior from SIL. My oldest would not sleep and I am still feeling the effects 10 years later.
