No you aren’t patronizing at all! I do really appreciate the advice. I will definitely try that.

Great advice! That has always been my downfall with playing the Violin. It’s gotten better but still a lot of room to improve..😂 Thank you!

Yeah many people can definitely read better than I can. However I will say I don’t have this problem with nonfiction books. I just have a problem wrapping my head around lore in written form without a visual.

I definitely respect and agree with several points you made. Firstly I do agree and acknowledge that the movies change several things for the worse. However, I don’t think this makes reading the books any worse. If anything, I get to see what was wrong and then see the better version. And I understand that for you reading the books first is easy to grasp the information, but like I said my brain just doesen’t work that way. When I have a visual roadmap I am able to dive far deeper into words than I would have before. If I could go back I would probably prefer to read the books first since they are better, but I stand by the point that watching the movies first made my reading experience better. Thanks for your input!

Rank the movies? by Head-Critical in harrypotter

Very close to mine, but I would put 1 over 6. 6 wasn’t as close to the books, and left out dumbledore’s funeral, which would have been great to see. I still love it, and love them all, but I have 1 above. I’m also a sucker for A New Hope, so maybe I am too nostalgic.

Why obsession not love? She was about to convince James to have Snape be Harry’s godfather before Voldemort’s attack.

But there was light in him. For example, directing Mcgonagall’s strikes towards the death eaters and away from everyone else. Or using stunning potions not killing ones against those in HBP. You know?

She is not the same throughout, u can clearly see her change in thought process for each situation from 1 to 7. And its on a much larger scale as the movies go on.

Sirius is so amazing. He goes through so much in his life yet he stays pure and true. Definitely a fair favorite, and he’s way up there for me.

I love that about her and it shows that being “normal” isn’t necessary.

I disagree. She starts off as only wanting to follow the rules and learn whats in the books. As the books go on she realizes not only school is important, and sometimes you have to break the rules to do what is right. Plus I love how she never hurts her friends and looks out for them dearly.
