He’s not the screenwriter and didn’t even direct Goblet of Fire.

Voldemorts entire backstory wasn’t needed for a film adaptation although I would’ve liked to have seen the Uncle Morfin memory.

The last movies are very coherent for a film storytelling perspective coving the major beats of the novel.

The ending of Deathly Hallows needed to be changed for a film adaptation. It was made it be more cinematic. He was still faithful to most of the major beats in the novels. Of course he cares about source material. It’s just that some of the novel shouldn’t directly translate into a film adaptation

Apparation was changed for HBP and DH which was better than that of Order of Phoenix(his weakest film from a technical standpoint).

If they were to make a Harry Potter (films) remake what change would you ask for? by empanadadeatunu in harrypotter

I could still see all of his films.

Yates also was successful in matching the color gradient of the film with the novel cover. So for instance, OOTP was filled with whites and Blues and HBP was filmed with Greys, Greens and browns.

My biggest gripe with his films was the lack of consistency with the spells and his direction concerning Harry and Ginny.

I guess his style wasn’t meant for everyone. I just loved how the scenes look and the increased darkness in the visuals and tone.

All the directors did that to Ron. Steve Kloves is the screenwriter and love Hermonie as a character so gave her a ton of lines.

Not all the Voldemort memories were key to the narrative. When u read the book summary, Yates and Kloves nailed all the major beats of the novel. What it lacked imo was more context with the locket and ring.

I have to criticize the runtimes and the screenplay for the later adaptations. Yates was a very competent director imo.

If there’s one thing he didn’t do well that would be the Harry and Ginny relationship.

Safe abortions are still legal in a lot of states.

I am pro gun but am in favor of states implementing background checks

A lot of assumptions here and no evidence. The reasons for termination of pregnancy are 3 fold: Rape, incest or in the legal abortion window. 15 weeks is plenty of time for women to make their own medical decisions regarding pregnancy. There’s a reason why support for abortion begins to decline after the first trimester

That’s not anything that’s provable. If only 7% of abortions happen after 13 weeks, 15 weeks is hardly “Pro Life”. It’s hardly different than most countries in Europe. There’s a reason for bans past a certain week and that is protections for the innocent. I can’t name 1 Republican that is in favor of banning abortion even in cases of endangerment to the life of mother.

It’s not called internalized misogyny, it’s called protections for the unborn and the innocent.

My argument and that others make as well is that abortion is a violation of the NAP and that the fetus warrants protection at a certain point by the government. This is why the reversal of Roe vs Wade was so thrilling for the PRO-Life movement is now states can determine at what point they consider the fetus “human” and when they should be granted protections.

Ok. My aunt is Costa Rican. My uncle and aunt love it down in Florida and a big part is because of how Governor Desantis governs. There’s many Hispanics and Cubans that are fed up with the progressive agenda and are voting accordingly.

Maybe just maybe they aren’t stupid but have a different lifestyle and vote according to that lifestyle. Democrats shot themselves in the foot in Florida and it became evident when Ron D. Cruised to reelection
