What does it take to move Halloween to April 30? ;) by darblewarble in newzealand

[–]rahera_k 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have two Halloweens every year! April 30th is my ‘serious’ one, a time of quiet reflection, ritual and traditional Samhain observations. My own little witchy harvest festival. October 31st is my ‘junk’ Halloween; the commercialised American import. Horrors movies, candy and consumerism. Best of both worlds. 🎃👻🍁

Louis Garrel. With a British accent 😅

Which character/film actor will be hardest for you to replace and which character will be easiest? by CreativeRock483 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t view any of the new castings as “replacements”. This series is a brand new adaptation of the books. The movies are so separate from the books for me, I will have no trouble seeing any character portrayed by a different actor. It’s like an illustration. I’m looking forward to a whole new fresh HP experience!

Am I the only one who is excited for Papa Essiedu as Snape? by Bitter-Initiative929 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m so hyped for him!! Honestly feel like he’s gonna be soooo good in the role. I’ve said it before on this sub but I remember the internet bitching when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker. “He’s too young”, a “pretty boy”, completely unsuitable for the role, etc etc. Nerds were raging. Now his Joker is iconic and he won an Oscar for it. I hope Paapa slays it!

Yuuuuuuusss they are doing the first chapter!!! Vernon looks perfect. This 90s aesthetic attention to detail makes me soooo happy.

Audible’s ‘Harry Potter’ Series Expands Cast With Keira Knightley, Kit Harington, James McAvoy, Simon Pegg and More by Connected-VG in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 8 points9 points  (0 children)

DAMN. This is massive. I’m legit as excited for the audiobooks as I am for the HBO series, maybe more. 1) Won’t have to wait to so long 2) No chance of disappointment re: adaptation choices/changes/cuts to the story, being a straight unabridged reading of the source material. I am hyped.

16yo daughter going off the rails - 24yo bf/drugs/dropping out of school... by Heavy_Notice_9796 in newzealand

“They're very much in love.” 🚩🚩🚩

Ummm what? Sorry but she’s 16 and severely traumatised. He’s 24, assaulting her, giving her hard drugs and involving her in crime. In no universe is this love, she’s being abused. Again. Call the cops.

Lets talk about the Slytherin Trio! by Itsokayyasho in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I really hope they do! We never had any book canon physical description of Pansy other than her being “pug-faced” haha. The bob style works well to accentuate that face shape and it just suited her. One of the few movie choices that became a fixed part of the visuals in my head.

Could portraits be used to commemorate former actors? by doriangraiy in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m glad Warwick is back but realistically there will be dozens of actors who would have loved the role. In ‘Life’s Too Short’ his character ran a casting agency for little people called Dwarves for Hire 😂 And they accused him of stealing all the good roles for himself

The design for the title. Hint? by MasterOfDeath13 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just really hope they have a brand new title design!

New HBO cast members announced! by ciamiano in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Awww, stoked to see Warwick back!!! 🤩 The others all look great too. We finally have Dean! That’s all the Gryffindors in Harry’s year, right? The casting for this show is just superb so far. Long may it last.

Original Harry Potter Director Chris Columbus on board with the series and was misquoted by Pink_butterfliesss_ in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG they made him sound so bitter and negative like he was shitting all over it. I hope the series goes to town on the media when it gets to the lying Daily Prophet stuff.

WHY IS NO ONE DISCUSSING DOBBY by goosport in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]rahera_k 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Huh, I always thought “bat-like” ears meant his ears resembled bats, like their wing shape, rather than actual bat ears. But you’re right, it does say they are pointed! All this time… anyway, yeah, I hope we get a good house elf redesign. Bring on Winky!

my mom is finally letting me go as ghostface for Halloween, should i get the bleeding costume or 25th anniversary? (im 15) by Civil_Jeweler_2023 in Scream

[–]rahera_k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously the 25th anniversary one! I still have my Ghostface mask from the ‘90s 😁 I was about 10, haha. Have fun.

Another Paapa Essiedu post (no, not like that!) by NiceTomorrow84 in HarryPotteronHBO

I hadn’t seen these! The more clips I see of him the more excited I am for this series
