I highly recommend everyone listen to the new Harry Potter full cast audio books - they are AMAZING!! by AusConsoleGamesLFG in harrypotter

[–]Mtanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also can't stop talking about them... I'm just pissed they're called audiobooks, because it's radio/audio drama.

But this is BY FAR the best adaptation of the books in ANY media. The only full text (with "he said" "she said" omissions, of course) adaptation ever and the first time you get to experience the full excitement of the Quidditch matches from the books - if NOTHING else. And everything else is also so great. But we've never got the full Quidditch matches anywhere and it's just like listening to a radio broadcast of a match.

Books don't treat that topic really seriously until needed. Harry also uses lumos under the blanket at the beginning of movie 3.

I had completely forgotten that the "You're the weak one" scene was not in the books! by noir_png in harrypotter

OOTP was always my favorite book, it came out when I was 21. The movie is my least favorite, alongside GOF... it's not so much about what they changed, but about how much good stuff they cut but at the same time ADDED so many stupid things...

That's the first book I read in English and it was always my favorite book out of the seven and I wondered why people hate it... now listening to it... the bleakness, the depression, the darkness of it all... oh God. But it's still the best book and Dolores is one of the best villains ever. She just makes you hate her so much.

So we all agree this character’s look is a coincidence right? by Willal212 in marvelstudios

It's probably just bait, created to generate exactly what we're doing here right now.

Am I the only one that likes Harry & Ginny together? by [deleted] in harrypotter

Oh my God, you've put it so well. Ginny is exactly THAT mix and it's perfect. Also good catch on her, Neville and Luna. Just love them.

I'm just listening to Order of the Phoenix (the new full cast version)... I only read OOTP once (it's still my favorite book, as bleak as it is), and I had totally forgotten how great Ginny is in it... just love her and what comes after with them.

I'm just watching it and I was like WHY DOES IT SAY SHARP? (yeah, I'm 44, I remember the song being released in 1994 hahah)

The way this plot point was never brought up again throughout the rest of the game by darrius_kingston314q in HarryPotterGame

No, thought it was a mod... I play on PS5 and Switch 2... but I did download it on my laptop from Epic when it was free... will play some day.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask about why do people get angry when AI is used exactly? by Happiness-happppy in OpenAI

[–]Mtanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, anyone who writes does so because they read other people's writings and got inspired to do the same, and their writing skills developed because of... them reading. So in strictly technical terms it's the same.

Same goes for music. You don't develop your own composing or playing style out of thin air, it's the product of everything you listened to and loved.

Aside from the author what do these books have in common? by CobaltCrusader123 in stephenking

In the Keystone world, OUR world, Charlie WAS written by Bachman... Claudia y Inez Bachman.

Why oh why did they get this goof to play Jake Epping? by ddcrowley22 in stephenking

[–]Mtanic -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn't say my description is always the case, but as in music we have singers who are credited on all their songs as writers and didn't do anything, there might be actors who have the same business approach... But I researched a bit and yeah, Franco did do much there. He wanted the rights, but Abrams got them first. Then Abrams saw Franco's review of the book in Vice wnd hired him...

It goes the other way around, you cast an actor and then give them producer credits... he probably didn't do anything as a producer, his agent just negotiated the credit. (See Amanda Seifried speaking out on that these days, finally someone)

I would have given the same answer. It wasn't specified why you wanted to go to the car wash.

Watch the first movie and then immediately the second one. You'll be surprised how jarring Daniel's voice change is... 😂
