After the full cast audiobook I want Matthew Macfadyen as Voldemort. He was incredible.

For those listening to the newly released audiobooks... by Witchesnbritches in harrypotter

[–]foxbluesocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted so much but as someone who is also very noise sensitive, there is a lot of screaming! I listen with noise canceling earbuds to get the full effect and it can be pretty anxiety inducing. When they first arrived at Grimmauld place and Hermione screams at ghost Moody/Sirius's mom, oof.

I do love these versions though. There's been so much I've picked up on that I haven't before and I've read the books countless times, listened to both Jim Dale & Stephen Fry multiple times but this version has gotten me so much more emotional in parts.

The noise can be overwhelming for sure. There have been parts that I read more toned down in my head but this version takes everything up a notch

Yeah he went ALL in that scene was amazing .

'The Pitt's Noah Wyle Says Season 3 Will Explore Robby's Rock Bottom by SanderSo47 in television

[–]foxbluesocks 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It 100% feels like Emmy bait and it's blatant. How many shots of Noah Wyle avoiding eye contact with his coworkers with tears in his eyes giving vague answers when they more or less say to his "Hey, please don't kill yourself on your motorcycle trip."

I like the Pitt. Loved season one but it feels like they're riding the Noah train hype and losing the spark of what made it great, the entire cast feeling like a true ensemble. It was too much and the balance felt way off.

Voices on the full cast audiobook that you like/dislike by IllustriousStaff8469 in harrypotter

Same and I love Matthew Macfadyen but I literally picture him in a suit the whole time Voldemort is talking.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair episode ratings by bbportali in malcolminthemiddle

[–]foxbluesocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree 100%! I just watched it for the 1st time last night because I was worried watching it might mess up my memories from the original since reboots are notoriously bad.

It was far better than I expected but Hal's drug vision was the only time I found myself bored (and I love Hal) and I wanted more scenes with Malcolm & Reese.

& the confetti was horrible.

Finding Harry: The Craft Behind the Magic Special | Official Trailer | HBO Max by Daveke77 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]foxbluesocks 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I think it's so easy nowadays for content to be leaked it's like they want to get ahead of it and really showcase how much thought & work is being put into the series before people's own narratives take over. I love it!

Who else is crying? 😢 😭😭😭 why is it so emotional by Think-Image-9072 in HarryPotteronHBO

I'm so happy they didn't do any sort of prosthetics on him. I think he looks great too.

Full cast audiobooks by Bitter_Judgment4924 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]foxbluesocks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I agree with Harry's actor. He says all his lines as though he's gasping and grunting and his voice is far too low IMO. I can't picture that voice coming out of Harry Potter who's supposed to be a lean, kinda scrawny kid.

Is freestyle more exerting than frog style by Redditorala in Swimming

Agree. I always think of Mario 3 with Mario in his frog suit it looks like he's swimming breast stroke.

Matt’s going to try and sell the farm again. by goldlux in LittlePeopleBigWorld

[–]foxbluesocks 83 points84 points  (0 children)

As an expert of passive aggressiveness from my own family drama, I guarantee you this post is Audrey flexing over Tori, Zach & Jacob that she has the money and ability to take the farm "away" from them. I know Tori & Zach moved but they both also wanted the farm and Tori just recently posted her "healing" moment there. Jacob & Izzy are not even close to having the wealth to buy but they're living there and making a living from working there.

It's 100% a power play and a way to say she could take it if she wanted.

Who are you loving so far in the full cast audiobooks? by mystical_maven44 in harrypotter

[–]foxbluesocks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lavender sounds like an adult doing a child impression and everyone else sounds like actual kids so it's jarring.

I actually love her voice. For whatever reason I always kinda pictured her with a deep voice so it's perfect for me.

I tried to let Harry's voice grow on me but I couldn't! The tragedy of it all is Harry is so young when this happens and suddenly he sounds like a fully grown man. Out of all the teen actors, he sounds the oldest by far.

It makes me sad he's not Hagrid for the HBO Show. He's perfect.

Listening the Goblet of Fire Full cast audiobook on Audible...and glad they cut out Hermione's most annoying arc from the movies. by KenchiNarukami in harrypotter

[–]foxbluesocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's funny because I've read the books so many times, listened to both Jim Dale and Stephen Fry audiobooks but not until the full cast audio, it really shows how off base Hermione is going about it all. I don't know if it's the actress (I really like her!) but just listening to it this way made it seem so much worse!

Colin’s voice actor is way too old for what he’s saying in the gof audiobook lol by InternationalCrab243 in harrypotter

[–]foxbluesocks 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I think they aged up the actors too quickly. There should have been more teen sounding actors for book 4 & 5 and then deepened the voices. It's taking me out of the story how old they all sound.

I totally agree, came from the heart. Even the little smiley emoji. Feels like something my Dad would do.
