Your point is correct. Recently I've watched the movies with my family. I read the book, they didn't. They didn't understand a LOT of important things, so I was giving explanations all the time. Without it they wouldn't get even half of what was going on.
i completely agree. it was almost an unbearable watch the first time with my gf because i just had to keep pausing and giving context or explaining what was really going on
Thank heavens Steven Spielberg didn't get involved, he wanted to cast the American child actor Haley Joel Osment as Harry, have Spielberg and Dreamworks combine a couple of the books together and have it all be animated. This went against what J.K. Rowling wanted with live action films of each book and an all British cast. I have tons of problems with the films, but I'm eternally grateful they didn't involve Spielberg.
I hadn't heard any of those things at all. Don't think it could have been Dreamworks though because WB already had the rights and Rowling was given full veto power so even Spielberg couldn't do what she didn't want. However, I am fully on board with animating Harry Potter. That video is coming soon.
Thanks for putting into words the reasons why I hated the movie initially, I haven't reread the books since and Gary Oldman and David Thewlis's performance made me like it now. I think that people who adapt all books rely on their audience having read the books it was the same with LOR which put me off reading the books again and I reread them alot as I got the books in school which was quite a lot of years before the movies came out. I did watch the 1st Harry Potter movie before reading the book but it was a year is a long time before the story continues and I was impatient so I got the books and read them before I watched the movies (a big mistake) which I seem to think after the 2nd weren't as faithful to the books, missing great chucks of relevant information and changing much of the story. There is only one book that I didn't like after reading it and it wasn't a Harry Potter book, I usually go into a film blind and if I really like it I will get the book as the book is usually a hundred times better, if I have read the book 1st then I am inevitably disappointed. Thanks for the video.
Why would Haley Joel Osmont have been such a bad choice? I'm not saying that he would have been a good harry, but why sneer at the idea of him? He was a good young actor at that time coming off of The Sixth Sense and being nominated for an Oscar. It wasn't a bad choice. And yes, Spielberg thought that Harry Potter, the idea of the story would have probably been an interesting idea conceived as an animated movie or series, but he never said that he would have combined 2 books into one movie or show or whatever. The 2 executives at DreamWorks Getten and Katzenberg met with Warner Bros and discussed ideas for the first 2 harry potter movies. They felt that with the amount of visual effects andproduction involving wizard an animated movie would interesting but speilberg turned down the film because he didn't want to have to spend several months away from his kids in another country while they had school so he passed on the project. In a collider article and other articles from back then in 2009 and 2010 with other outlets the former Warner brothers chief Alan Horn, was the one who actually suggested to JK Rowling to go with Steven Spielberg and that he thought that animation would actually be a good idea as well, because of how successful they were and how well they could make the animated moves with the visuals. JK rawling has said in interviews many times that Alan horn, the producers on the Harry Potter movies and other people at Warner Bros. I told her they felt like Chris Columbus would be the better choice for the first 2 movies since they were more geared towards children because he'd had a reputation of working well with lots of kids. And there's a a documentary about the making of Home Alone and John Hughes wasn't on set for half the production. Idk why people don't think he was that good but all art is subjective
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much for making this video! :-) So glad to find someone else who agrees and made it even more clear why this is one of the worst Harry Potter movies (how In the name of Azkaban can anyone call of the best movie, especially after watching your video here?!), And I can add you to the list of me and movie flame As being the only people who actually have an issue with Dumbledore tapping Ron’s Bandaged leg, which I actually think is worse than the scene in Goblet of fire! Please do more videos on this for the other Harry Potter movies and other similar kinds of movies like this! :-)
First time seeing your channel, I'm autistic and im so sorry if you feel im calling you out im not i just have a feeling when i see Harry Potter heads talk exactly how i talk about Harry potter, only the first four books were written when the movies started and that highly influenced the story ... I'll shut up now but im 100% on prisoner of Azkaban i say this on every reaction i watch
You can't blame the director for this movie. You actually can't really blame any of the directors for any of the Harry Potter movies, whatever happens in the movies, they're not really actually directing the movie, They're directing based on notes and everything else from the producers and the studio executives, they're the ones who get final say. The director's are there just to keep everybody in line and shoot the scenes and all that, but the directors of these movies do not get final cut, they don't get to choose and make decisions. They don't get creative control or story points. That's all down to the people above them even jk. Rowling The creator of Harry Potter didn't get final say so or approval over the movies. The studio and producers had all that.
Personal opion of movie 3 book readers hate it for all these reasons and the new director wanted amazing visuals bare minimum details cause by now they could produce anything Harry Potter movie and that's what this is the director manipulated jkr to letting him take too much liberty's I feel this way about the entire series in the movies amazing visual greatest story ever but the 8 movies is barely the cliff notes version
Cantrips kinda be used out of school like light, druid craft and Harry hasn't cast a spell higher than a cantrip til now in this world a sorcerer and a wizzard are the same thing well based on the students back ground we know Harry can just do reactions spells but here he is year 3 of dealing with an unknown reason, cast a non cantrip spell the patronus even to Hermione thinks is an advanced spell, I place the charm at lvl 5 spell level which would be when Harry would graduate age ? Hate thus movie cause fans don't know the importance of this book
Did work tail dirty too they kinda portray him too much "rat" and he has some kind of humanity when is legit a ROUS if wormtail back story was there he might be the most evil of the villains I mean we know who the most evil is and the top 2 have noses just saying

Gotta disagree with Chamber of Secrets being a slog, but I’ll say Philosophers stone kind of is.
First time seeing your channel, I'm autistic and im so sorry if you feel im calling you out im not i just have a feeling when i see Harry Potter heads talk exactly how i talk about Harry potter, only the first four books were written when the movies started and that highly influenced the story ... I'll shut up now but im 100% on prisoner of Azkaban i say this on every reaction i watch

I've never met a Potter head on the level i am im really glad to find channels i talk too much expect a lot of comments just warning
It might be limited. We'll see.

@@chrismalik1579 if they were good, would you credit the producers or the director?
Did you really just call a violent gang of bullies targeting one guy for no real reason a rivalry?
They did Sirius dirty in the movies damn shame what they did to that dog?

Adaptations to live actions no nos 1 Alan Moore, ask him why
Did work tail dirty too they kinda portray him too much "rat" and he has some kind of humanity when is legit a ROUS if wormtail back story was there he might be the most evil of the villains I mean we know who the most evil is and the top 2 have noses just saying
ITS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE STORY BUT NEVER MENTIONED IN THE MOVIE, THE PAPER IS SHOWN BUT NOT THE IMPORTANT PART!!!
I don't agree with making crookshanks a big muggle cat with no story at all
