I love Lockhart too. Have you read Order of the Phoenix? There's a sad bit with him.

nonperson · 13-04-2021, 12:01 PM

Yes. =/ I always forget he appears again in the books but never to be seen again in the films.

nonperson · 13-04-2021, 12:02 PM

And yes, he is totally annoying but so funny and Kenneth Branagh did a great job acting the role. =)

Cacoethes · 13-04-2021, 12:03 PM

I remember that too!
Though i haven't read the books in a long time

Yes he did do a great job!

It was very stressful. So busy but I survived and got Josh some stuff.

You're right, I do try my hardest. Some places are a bit confusing.

I actually hated Chamber of secrets. I don't know why just found the book really dull.

Well done for surviving Luna!

Chamber of secrets is my least favourite of the films and books.

shadow-light · 13-04-2021, 12:38 PM

*has only read 3 HP books and not seen the films*

Cacoethes · 13-04-2021, 12:39 PM

Shock!!

shadow-light · 13-04-2021, 12:39 PM

I don't really do pop culture

[Luna] · 13-04-2021, 12:40 PM

I'm actually not a fan of the films. I've watched them all a few times but I don't think they did the books justice.
When I was 12/13 I was absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter but lost interest over the years. Now my hatred for JK Rowling makes me even less interested lol

shadow-light · 13-04-2021, 12:42 PM

I read the first 3 books as I read them to my brother.

But to be honest due to social media I pretty much know the plot of the rest of the books too

shadow-light · 13-04-2021, 12:42 PM

I liked Lupin

no idea if I would have prefered a character past book 3 though if I'd bothered reading them

[Luna] · 13-04-2021, 12:45 PM

My dad used to camp outside Waterstones every time a new book came out to get me and my mum a copy. We all used to go to see the films as a family and he fell asleep every.single.time lol

Cacoethes · 13-04-2021, 12:51 PM

They definitely didn't do the books justice!
And yeah, JK Rowling has turned out to be a complete dick.

Lupin is awesome

My step dad did too Luna!
I can't remember first seeing the films though

nonperson · 13-04-2021, 01:52 PM

I was really late to join the HP fanclub. And I always said Chamber of Secrets was my least favourite book and film too but when I think about it it does have some very good moments.

Cacoethes · 13-04-2021, 01:53 PM

It does! I don't know why it's my least favourite. It just is!

nonperson · 13-04-2021, 02:43 PM

Moved on to the next film yet, Beckie?

tamobhuuta · 13-04-2021, 03:03 PM

Why is Rowling a dick?

not_so_insig · 13-04-2021, 03:15 PM

I think it's to do with her political and trans views tamobhuuta.

Cacoethes · 13-04-2021, 03:15 PM

Not yet! My concentration only goes so far!

Because she's posted some very anti-trans stuff on twitter tamo
