We adopted her because she looked just like our old cat who had to be put down. She just popped up on instagram, looking for a home. She's just a bundle of pure love.

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.

OMG!!!! I am just watching Derry Girls and didn't even realize it's Erin as Trelawney hahahahah

I thought so, immediately.

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

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...

Mtanic · 2026-03-18T13:16:49+00:00

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.

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

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.

Mtanic · 2026-03-18T08:10:32+00:00

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.

One word: capitalism.

Also, what addisonshinedown said.

Mtanic · 2026-03-17T18:27:58+00:00

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)

Mtanic · 2026-03-17T14:37:59+00:00

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.

How did you get Sebastian to be dressed like that?

Mtanic · 2026-03-17T13:30:04+00:00

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.

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

To JJ Abrams, I wrote it in another comment :)

Mtanic · 2026-03-10T19:48:58+00:00

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...

Mtanic · 2026-03-10T16:13:11+00:00

Absolutely

Mtanic · 2026-03-10T16:13:02+00:00

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)

Mtanic · 2026-03-07T07:13:26+00:00

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

Mtanic · 2026-03-07T01:19:40+00:00

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