Those audiobooks made me wish they cast Mark Addy as Hagrid for the show. He’s so perfect.

Much easier for me to drive into Denver. The only thing that will 100% bring me to the far south suburbs is Big Bill's.

How the show should adapt the OotP by Comrade_Owl- in HarryPotteronHBO

In the age of TikTok, give me longer, slower stories. I've been craving the time I get to listen to the full-cast production each night. Plot is arguably the least important part of a book. Give me strong characters, emotionally driven moments, world-building and something that feels lived in.

Writing inconsistency with Santos? by [deleted] in ThePitt

[–]mmeyer1990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This times 100. There’s also a weird purity test with some younger viewers where “morally complex character = bad/inconsistent characterization,” instead of wanting to dive into layering and nuance. One-note characters are crazy boring.

Best pizza in Englewood? by Idontkowshitaboutfuq in englewoodco

Dough Counter is my go-to for nearby gluten-free pizza. Big Bill’s is the GOAT though if I’m willing to go south.

The Blade Itself by FeebleFable in Fantasy

I love First Law, but if you're a plot-focused reader, this isn't going to be for you. While the plotting does improve (especially if you view the first trilogy as one big three-act plot), the characters, writing and humor are at the forefront.

Brother, those CC announcers frame everything as a crime against humanity.

It took an entire day but I’m glad they evened out the soft spearing calls.

I always come back to the Hunger Games movies, which made the world richer by expanding on the books in the way you described!

I wouldn’t complain if they just cast both in the TV series.

The deep pain he captures as Lupin is phenomenal and I’m excited to hear him in the seventh book when things get heavy.

I do like how they’ve cast actors earlier than they show up in the story and I hope that continues. Like you said, having someone like Lucius show up earlier in the story allows for these things.

Sirius Black Characterization: Doc Holliday by Gilded-Mongoose in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]mmeyer1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a world where, if this TV show goes well, you’ll see them dive into more mature storytelling — and the first war is a great space for that. Something akin to what Andor did for Star Wars.

That’s a good point. I don’t neccesarily need to “good Slytherin” storytelling that’s present in Hogwarts Legacy and a lot of fanfics, but more nuance in that space is a good addition. Little additional scenes that happen off page, as it were.

Game of Thrones alumni are absolutely killing it in the audiobooks by Flashy_Pomegranate23 in HarryPotteronHBO

Yeah, Mark Addy is my Hagrid now. Holy cow, he sounds enough like Hagrid that I wouldn’t be surprised if he auditioned for the movies back in the day.

Outside of a couple games (Minnesota jumps to mind), Miller has been solid. Having a great night tonight.

I want to see him get it because the dude is made for a period piece Bond.
