Why couldn't she smell Harry when he was directly in front of her in the tunnel...

it could smell Harry in the books. They used sound in the movie.

why didnt tom riddle just tell the snake where harry was?

But the best one is immediately after this one.

How did they make the CG so good?

Why was there a giant ancient chamber in the sewers when wizards used to just magic away poop until muggles invented toilets? Why was there even a sewer in Hogwarts? What was the need for it?

Harry Potter is for children and man/womanchildren

>her
her? mmmmmmmmmmm......

that's a magicworld snake, our world's snake logic doesn't apply to him

Nobody TV director who probably sucked a lot of limey cock to get the blockbuster gig.

It's all so tiresome

Is that really the Basilisk?
Damn, I remember it looked way cooler.
It was the only one I liked as a kid.

True. The voldy horcrux shit ruined it.

>her
Ok that's hot

I must say this is an awesome movie monster. Other HP designs are not nearly as interesting.

this. Columbus MADE hp iconic.
without the first two HP films this is just a generic Roahld Dalh ripoff about faggy fairy fucks in their flying fucking fortress

Because this series is for 10 year olds.

Dangerously based.

Because of course it is especially when it's shown super close in the tunnels it's a very effective scene. Too bad it's so evil very misunderstood creatures those basilisks.

>2002 CGI
It still looks amazing. Must have cost a fucking fortune to animate.

But the series was too long to keep up this insanely high production quality and almost 3 hours of film so by the end they got some cheap bland director and discount composer (before Desplat in the last two movies). It's honestly a poorly adapted series. Whenever I watch the LOTR appendices I'm amazed how smart they were how thoughtful, there was set up and pay off and everything was necessary. In HP movies we get characters who are only introduced then they don't get their scenes from the book, they disappear for a few movies and come back at the last minute, the worst was that mirror from Deathly Hallows that came out of nowhere because that hack didn't think to show in the fifth movie.

theres a theme among early cgi films to have snakes as monsters, some youtube faggot said because its easier to animate a tube monster compared to reconstructing the rocks face on a scorpions body, plus having dark lighting to mask fine detail, 2002 was most likely that years sum of top tier artists working with top of the line technology

Compare Dobby in that movie and in Deathly Hallows. I don't believe it's just because they wanted to make him look less like Putin. And they used some puppets in those first two movies including the basilisk.

it's a damn shame. I never read hp I'm a 21 y/o who read percy jackson and i can rest easy my boy wont be cinematically raped anymore ever since they euthanized that shitty film franchise

The sewers and pipes were added retroactively. Those rooms were used for other purposes in the past

they put the lil nigga in nikes this shit is fucking stupid.

Thank FUCK I wasn't the only one that was annoyed by that.
It would've been so easy to fix, too. Just have Harry find it in Sirius' room or something at Grimmauld Place later in the movie. Have him pick it up because he thinks he sees Dumbledore in it.

On that same note, this awkward attempt to explain the grading system because it was left out (again in movie 5) was pure cringe. Anybody who wasn't already familiar with the books would be completely lost.

Yes adapt the longest book into the shortest movie what's the worst that could happen? And I swear the book version of the ministry battle is far more cinematic than what we got in the movie. Sometimes I want to read it again and forget about all the things that are now happening around the franchise, all the retcons and drama.

What the fuck happened, bros?

The later books were clearly written with the films in mind, giving them tons of cinematic material to work with, and Yates just tossed it in the garbage. Fucking hack that just got luck with DH1.

Why didnt harry just ask the eagles to destroy the Horcruxes?

Oh right that's a subplot that wen't nowhere. In the books at least he showed up for the final battle.

its actually tense as fuck when it slithers out

DH1 worked because the characters spend most of their time outside of the magic and wandering the Muggle World. So his boring aesthetic actually worked in its favor.
I'll give him credit though, there's some fun experimentation and decent visuals at play in DH1. The Godric's Hollow sequence and the animated sequence for the tale of the three brothers were kino and series highlights.
I think he did a good job with DH2 as well.

But fuck me, was he the wrong director for Oot and HBP. And I cringe just a little harder whenever I read that they asked Guillermo del Toro and other, better directors, to take those on.

It's not a serpent

More like basediliks

I was kind of scared to look into its eyes. Very funny, that was before theatres were afraid to be loud it was a totally different experience.
