I hate the Harry Potter movies

Irony and Sarcasm

Okay I am officially pissed, not that I wasn't before. But I'm just mad that the Harry Potter movies are simply sucky! How can J.K Rowling sit back and watch those imcompetent fools produce a movie that lacks ... er ... the true essence of Harry Potter? I'm sorry Yvonne, but I just have to blog about this. I can't take it, blogging about stuff that I like; I don't really have a reason for liking anything.

It's 2.19am in the morning and I'm too tired to elaborate. But let me give examples of lines from the movies that I can remember which just SUCKED.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Lord Voldemort: (to Harry) You will lose everything ...

Er ... Did I miss something here? He will lose everything? Let's see. Voldemort killed his parents, was the cause of him being tortured by his uncle and aunt, caused him to live 11 years as a sad little boy, caused hell for him at the end of every school year, made him famous (something he hates), and on top of that, wants to kill him. How much more can a person lose? That has got to be the most ridiculous line in the world, not to mention making that line the tagline for the movie. Damn. You will lose everything. "Like I haven't lost enough" should be the proper reply by that teenage delinquent who seems incapable of expressing his feelings in the movie. Which brings me to the next point.

(Repetition of the earlier points) Harry Potter lost his parents. He lives with his horrible aunt and uncle who made the first 11 years of his life horrible and the consequent summers even more so. He has to face shit in school every time the school term starts. Let's review:

First Year:
  1. Curious students try to get a good view of his scar all the effin time.
  2. School students hate him because he lost 150 points for his house when he tried to help someone. (Oh wait this is not mentioned in the movie is it?)
  3. Professor Quirrel tries to kill him because Voldemort (who happens to be possessing Quirrel) wants the Philosopher/Sorcerer's stone.
  4. He has to face all sorts of obstacles to get to the Philosopher/Sorcerer's stone so that humanity does not have to suffer the rise of Lord Voldemort.
  5. Snape (this goes without saying.

  8. He finds a strange diary that shows him that his friend could be a killer.

  12. The Quidditch Final.
  13. He loses a match against *gulp* Hufflepuff.
  14. His broken broomstick.
  15. His new broomstick which was sent by an anonymous person.
  16. His new broomstick was confiscated by Professor McGonagal because she thinks she is his momma and can order him around and take whatever that belongs to him.

  2. Hermione's constant rants about elf rights.
  3. His scar is always prickling.
  4. His godfather's whereabouts and safety.
  5. Cedric Diggory.
  6. The Triwizard Tournament, which he was chosen for.

Fifth Year
  1. Puberty and his short-tempered character.
  2. Being expelled.
  3. If I continue I will never get some sleep ... let us leave it at that.
So, with all this bottled up inside him, you'd think that he would at least see a shrink every once in a while. But that's not the point. I hope u have not forgotten the point. The point is, he should a sad, sad motherfcuker. But in the movie he has a straight face, no matter where he is. Occasinally he will show an emotion or two by smiling and looking a little worried. Speaking of emotions, his friends (and I quote Hermione from the book, "has the emotional range of a teaspoon," all put together, if I may add. Want an example? Okay. When Harry is possessed by Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, his friends come up and find him there, on the floor, writhing in agony, and they just look upon him, sadly (or was it a concentrating stare?). *rolls eyes*
