In the books, the school putting out a huge feast for the students is supposed to show the stark contrast of starvation and abuse Harry went through prior to Hogwarts. If this is a sign of how little effort they’re putting in I’m thrilled.. Let it bomb and bomb hard. Terfs don’t deserve our time or money
Oof

It won’t bomb unfortunately.
As much as Twitter and Reddit are up their ass about JKR her bullshit tends to remain only in those spaces. Most people don’t know she is a shitty person.
Frozengyro@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Considering how many of those who complained about Reddits enshitification the last 5ish years are still on it… I’m sure they will also be bitching about JKR and still watching the show.

It’s interesting how the books never truly question the class consciousness that is at the heart of his backstory.

Thats because rowling was writing a story about maintaining the status quo. Its interesting just how much she wrote overtly class conscious inequality, like wizards being an isolated superior class who can act with impunity on muggles, but then hand waves it as appropriate and good because the alternative is “bad”.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It’s a childish attempt to talk about morality. A “muggle” that can’t be accepted unless they are truly exceptional. Race based names. The poor Irish. Ya she been a racist.
BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I’ve gotten the impression that the British are a bit more class conscious than Americans. I think it’d be hard not to be when there are actual lords and ladies running around.

Yeah, I’m down with criticism of the revising author, but they really did make some solid movies back in the day.

It’s because it was offensive to Americans seeing children being fed at school

You’ve probably seen what they feed kids in school.
There was an idea to make school lunches “healthier” to push weight loss by dumb politicians and the result was worse than the prison food served before. I’ll take the prison food any day over the “healthy” lunches I had when I worked in education, lunch duty so may as well eat something then since you get maybe 15 minutes to eat on lunch break, I would drink a pot of coffee a day lol.
I really felt bad for the kids, and I can say it probably contributed to behavioral issues. I worked 12 hour+ days some of these kids where there that long for the after school program.

Is it possible that the ‘dumb politicians’ were skill making and the result was malicious compliance and active sabotage?
It’s perfectly possible to make school lunches health and good.

Just remember folks - if you really really can’t go without it, the only ethical way of watching Harry Potter is by donning your hat and parrot. 🦜

codexarcanum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Because HP is a role model for poor children, and poor children shouldn’t have the expectation of getting a feast ever. They should see the bare minimum school lunch and think it looks like a horn of plenty because US schools have been shutting down and reducing school meal programs. Real students don’t get anything.
Jiral@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I think what people miss here is that this is Americanisation that is the norm in most US movies. While the original movies were distributed by Warner Brothers, the producers were largely British, so where many other important people in the making of that movie. So they apparently stayed their ground in staying closer to the British source material.
In the remake those safeguards are gone. People just realise it because they see the contrast to the original. But look at other US movies, so much of it has fantasy scenarios that are still very “USified”, to not confuse the US audience too much. This is the most obvious when Hollywood takes up a successful foreign movie and makes a complete US “remake”.

I think the most offensive detail is the tray. In the books the meals are teleported directly onto the tables so you can stay put with your plate and just get whatever you like. No need for a tray to carry your food to your seat at the table

Is this real? I thought it was a joke. Is it because they don’t want school kids knowing what a big school meal looks like?

I don’t think any Harry Potter came out this year? So AI slop?
TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I looked up “new Harry Potter” and found that there’s a TV series releasing on HBO later this year. I’m assuming this image references a trailer for the show.
This was not in any way difficult.

It’s coming out this year, so maybe trailer screenshot

I wonder if they went out of their way to hire kids they “know” won’t grow up to be gay.
Did anyone ask for this to be remade?

Lmao I want nothing to do with that series anymore for a variety of reasons but if this is actually a screenshot of the utterly unnecessary remakes then that is pathetic
bedwyr@piefed.ca 1 month ago
The movie producers suck so bad they can’t be bothered, or don’t trust themselves, to find new movies, despite more good ideas than you can shake a stick at, and instead remake already popular movies again paying obsceme amounts of money to big name actors and using flashy new computer graphics.
Hollywood has sucked my entire life, I understand many of you don’t realize how true that is, but they have gotten a lot worse with consolidation, It’s down to 3 or 4 studios now, 3 with each around 25%, including Paramount now. It’s going to get a lot worse.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It used to be that remakes would be taking advantage of new technology. Like silent films remade with sound or black and white redone in color.
Now, advancements are incremental and often look worse than what we used to have. All these remakes are just studios trying to monetize their existing IP.
DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Not just movies. I recently noticed that a lot of games are getting remasters for a quick buck. I intended to play the whole Atelier Ryza series after I got the first one pretty cheap, but they delisted the original (2019) to sell the remaster at a higher price. I don’t know how old I want something to be before it’s redone, but it’s got to be longer than that.
