>Harry, did I ever tell you about time-turners? They are magical devices that allow the user to travel backwards in time! This incredible power can even be used to save loved ones from death, as you and your friends discovered with Buckbeak. Despite having an entire closet full of time-turners, the Ministry never once thought to use one to stop Voldemort's reign of terror. It would have been as easy as using one after he killed someone, say, your parents, and lying in wait to ambush him before it ever happened. Alas, time travel is simply too dangerous to meddle with. It must only be used for the express purpose of letting a little girl take extra classes one semester. And only if she is a good friend.
Harry, did I ever tell you about time-turners...

Why did JK think it was a good idea to introduce time travel? I get that she was a hack that got lucky but even when I was a kid I thought it was stupid.

Because she was writing fun kids books and didn't think autists 20 years later would be nitpicking her silly wizard school books

The last thread was good but we need more original friendposting for the discussion to continue.

Harry, did I ever tell you about the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Kids aren't the drooling retards you think they are and the time turner nonsense isn't nitpicking, it's a major point of the third book.

Gatsby, Les Misérables, and Atlas Shrugged are all basic bitch books

i can't believe i read that shit, a 5 year old could have written something better, and they had the gall to market it as the 8th book
