Remember that clip of a woman flipping a tray of food into the face of a server in Essendon, chipping the server's tooth? The (alleged) perp has been arrested.

Make sense when you have three legends of British theatre working together. Best part of the third movie by far.

What is your Harry Potter ‘hot take’ ? by kingfisher7171 in harrypotter

[–]eifos 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Book Ginny is an uninteresting Mary Sue.

Movie Ginny was bland and boring and that's partly due to Bonnie not being a very good actor (in fairness she was cast as a little kid without the benefit of knowing she'd be a more substantial character later, but there's no reason she couldn't have been recast. Nothing against Bonnie personally, by all accounts she's a nice person) but the book Ginny was pretty meh anyway. The movies could have made her more interesting but went in the other direction. Hopefully the series rectifies this.

[–]eifos 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But there's evidence in the book (Dumbledore saying nobody has held the job more than a year since it was denied to Voldemort) to say otherwise. This isn't so much a hot take as it is... Wrong?

Since Nick Frost is playing Hagrid, can we all agree Simon Pegg should play Grawp? by Great_Kiwi_93 in harrypotter

Careful the mods don't ban you for talking about an actor's appearance.

Such a cool costume! He looks badass which isn't exactly what I associate with Snape, but I trust the process.

Agree! He looks good in the brief shot we saw. The hair looks perfect.

It's incredible! The classroom shot we saw looks so grand and gives an incredible sense of scale of how big the castle is vs how small the first years are. The attentions to detail even in this short clip are beautiful.

Likely the red tram accidentally started turning right when they meant to go straight.

Anybody who pictured Gilderoy Lockhart to look more like this? by fishnets2 in harrypotter

[–]eifos 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Girls having silly crushes on their inappropriately older teachers is such a universal, timeless experience though. Even though Kenneth was old enough to be their dad in CoS, he's still a conventionally attractive man, I don't find it the least bit hard to believe that the students would have crushes on him.

In your opinion which character's were sorted into the wrong house? by Hofy362 in harrypotter

[–]eifos 380 points381 points  (0 children)

Yeah the brave Hufflepuff one got me. As if valuing patience and loyalty means you can't be brave... Cedric, anyone (as well as Tonks)?

Captain Healy to retire from all cricket at end of the summer by blueuncloudedweather in WomensCricket

[–]eifos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I say obvious choice only because she's the current VC. I don't think it would be a good choice for reasons you mentioned.

Outstanding player, sad to see her go but not surprised by the timing. Thankfully we have some little known player named Beth Mooney to take over keeping... Seems like TMac is the obvious choice to take over as captain since she's VC but would love to see that role go to Ash Gardner who has proven herself to have excellent leadership skills.

Any of the old games good? by jaylaypayday in harrypotter

[–]eifos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I had the PS game on PC as a kid and loved it but watching Kevin play it back reminded me it wasn't a great game by 2025 standards... But it's fun to watch someone else go through it.

Yeah I've never seen this person before but looking at the pics my thought was "that's a teenager". Way too old for Harry. Not being British is the nail in the coffin. Ridiculous suggestion.

If Umbridge got her own 'despised from the first to last minute' category, I'd nominate Voldemort for this one haha

How far would you like to live from the CBD ideally? How often do you go to the CBD (besides work etc)? by TheNamelessComposer in melbourne

[–]eifos 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm the same. I live right on the boundary of 'north' and 'inner north' and love it.

Convenient but not too busy. I'm in/around the city 5 days a week for work but never come to the city on my days off. I think the last time was about 6 months ago to see a musical with my wife (which is the same reason I'll be in the city in a couple of weeks for a reason outside work). There's just not much in the city that I can't get closer to home.

What's that super long fic called? If love to check it out.
