  And the movie portrayal was character assassination implying she was the one who ratted out Dumbledore’s Army.

    Fuck I forgot about that. Those movies kinda suck ass past the first two.

      Order of the Phoenix is brutal but I think Half Blood Prince from a cinematography perspective is the best in the series. Prisoner of Azkaban was also really well done.

        Oh yeah Prisoner was great.

        Going to have to disagree with you on HBP. I went through a huge Potterhead phase as a teen and I fell asleep during that movie every time I tried to watch it.

        At the time, the only other movie I had ever fallen asleep during while trying to watch was After Earth. So, admittedly, I kinda wrote the HBP movie off for that reason. But I’ve tried to go back and revisit it, and I just can’t keep my eyes open!

        Order of the Phoenix took the longest book and made the shortest film.

      Are you kidding? The first two films were shot in the most boring way possible, which is a bit odd considering the director Chris Columbus had previously made the two ‘Home Alones’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’. I still regret that I didn’t know of VLC’s playback speed adjustment when I watched ‘HP’.

      Then they got proper good director Alfonso Cuarón, who shown how a fantasy film could actually look and feel. After which of course he wasn’t hired again, and instead in one more iteration they found David Yates, who churned out the remaining four films like it was a factory job for him.

        Nope, not kidding. Clearly we disagree. It seems Mr. Cuarón’s look for a good fantasy film was a washed-out blue.

        That said, I still think PoA is still the best non-Columbus movie - I just enjoy the coziness of the first two. It’s what Hogwarts felt like to me when reading the books, so I naturally like seeing that brought to screen.

    Wasn’t she possessed or something and that was the reason she ratted out Dumbledore’s Army?

      In the movie Dolores Umbridge had Snape administer truth serum to Cho.

  That’s the joke.

    The joke is that JK Rowling names her characters offensively.

    I’ve seen this done before with multiple non-existent examples.

    Image

    My point is that JK Rowling already named an Asian character offensively. She also has an Irish kid named Seamus that loves blowing stuff up, and a black man named Shacklebolt.

    All I’m saying is the joke is now distracting from the source, because there is a real example of using her naming conventions on Asian characters.

      I struggle to imagine a world where magic and religion cohexist. I am normally used to high fantasy where the worldbuilding makes sense, but harry potter just flows like she thought of what could come next, and that’s it. Worldbuilding Babe, that’s how we add lore. Make stuff up.

      • VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Some fantasy is heightened by that, though.

        I think CS Lewis employed a similar strategy, and Narnia is all the more fantastical for it. I mean what the fuck is going on in The Horse and His Boy and The Silver Chair?

        Just a quick reminder that she designed Quidditch specifically in a way that would infuriate any person even remotely familiar with how sports games work, because she wanted to “bet back at” a guy who dumped her.

      Rowling is a diverse writer who can make multiple offensive asian characters. Yes she has a generic asian character but get ready for hiro and their friends Walla Greataru (China), pungeen Pitt (vietnam), and Ima Eatdog (Korea) who will be diversifying the bigotry in fun new ways along with their rivals Rege Sheepfucker (Wales), Maple Beaverlodge (Canada), and Gitmo Castro (Colombia)

        Just kinda fits with the stereotypical naming convention. Like John White for an American.
