I'm about half-way through the Philosopher's Stone right now and I like how Rowling is consistently imaginative and keeps everything moving forward at a fast pace. I'm not in love with the book by any means but it's highly consumable. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue onto the next book in the series, but likely not.

What is your opinion on the Harry Potter series?

Looks like she needs to stretch her legs.

It’s gay Reddit shit. Seriously.

"No!"

Those feet... *sweats profusely* oh, oh, oh, Bloom, my dear, forgive me...

I really want her to walk barefeet on my cock and face

Post more pics, for research purposes of course

I have to say, I've come to see some of its virtues. I teach it to ESL kids and I was not excited to do so. It's not nearly as good as Hunger Games, but it's not without it's merits. The pace is zippy without leaving one feeling shorted; the details are well laid (e.g. Hagrid mentioning Ron's brother Charlie as a dragon trainer to get out of talking about Snape); the characters are a little flat, but sort of like Dickens characters.

The real surprise I got was how sparse the descriptions are. The Sorting Hat is really only a page or so, the school is described in almost no detail whatsoever, etc. The movie is really a much more magical picture. But maybe it's precisely the lack of details that made the book feel so personal for people. 1000 readers, 1000 different Hogwarts.

Obviously not high fucking art, but it's a children's story for fuck's sake. As far as that goes, one could do worse.

They're fun, but not much beyond that. I wish the protag did more wizard stuff, you barely see him cast anything or do wizard things. Also I wish he had an actually competent duel with the antag at the end, not that one spell cowboy quickdraw shit.

>how sparse the descriptions are. The Sorting Hat is really only a page or so, the school is described in almost no detail whatsoever, etc
keep in mind that the uk is littered with castles and british kids are routinely dragged around them by their parents on holidays, at weekends etc. every british kid instinctively knows what hogwarts looks like. it's not necesary to give a complete description any more than it is necessary to describe e.g. the inside of a macdonalds to an american kid

Why has she been photoshopped into a latina

Many years ago I read part of some Harry Potter book. I found the prose to be very clumsy and cumbersome. Granted it is for children/young adults, but I couldn't fathom why adults were so captivated.

One particular line stands out in my memory, the only one really: "Harry unstuck his face from the window". Or something like that. It was awful.

>"Harry unstuck his face from the window"
there's nothing really wrong with that though. it's literally what kids do when they push their faces against a glass and it sticks there like a sucker dart and then they take them away. perfectly ok line for a book aimed at teenagers.

the many pictures of her lying around in a bikini in expensive sunny holiday destinations may offer something of a clue

>It's not nearly as good as Hunger Games

Hunger Games is a good story but the actual novels are trash and horribly written. The movies are immensely better.

that one's been touched up really badly too

Good point. Hadn't occurred to me. Question: HP bigger deal in UK than in the U.S.? Seems like actual exposure to castles would make Harry Potter less interesting. No one who grew up in "Arabia" is much interested in the 1000 nights.

Time was I'd have agreed, but I've since changed my opinion. Hunger Games isn't great by any stretch, but first person narration allows for a more interesting ambiguity. The movies are forced to show the game makers. In the novel, Katniss speculates on their decisions, and it's not always clear she's right.

That said, I only ever read the first one. I just found it much more interesting to teach than Harry Potter and much easier to discuss (remember - ESL students) than the movie.

Hardest books to teach are Roald Dahl. Charlie and James are both superb children's books, but better primarily aesthetically. Kids dig all the alliteration, but it's hard to really discuss. Less obvious rhetorical devices are hard even to point out.

I know J.K. Rowling never specified her skin color, but did she ever describe Hermione's ass?

>HP bigger deal in UK than in the U.S.? Seems like actual exposure to castles would make Harry Potter less interesting.
another part of HP's appeal to the UK audience is that it fits right in with the "boarding school story" tradition. i am not sure if this is a popular thing outside the uk. it goes right back to the 19th century and each generation has their own e.g tom brown's schooldays, several enid blyton books etc. i remember seeing one review that called HP "billy bunter of the rings" or something similar
basically HP was successful because it ticked so many genre boxes, including for adults who grew up with the famous five and so on

like a lot of girls, emma gets a lift from wearing high heels. they accentuate the shape of the legs and butt

forgot pic

I really don't understand how people can sexualize Emma Watson. She has a libido of a nun, or your caring auntie. She is a total, complete do-gooder. Even if she was caught naked, her face won't have even a tiniest twist of flirtation. Look how NORMAL she is in the Wallflower movie, for example.

In Britain, that's considered a bubble butt.

In addition to the fact that she just isn't attractive, even by Hollywood bimbo standards, as the photos in this thread adduce

I think I'll give it a pass, or a miss, whatever.

gb2Lesbos. Men don't fap to “attractiveness”.

were these for Harvey?

>highly consumable

Now you're just quoting Keats on Chapman's Odyssey

>sort of like Dickens

This has to be some witty litizen LARPing on reddit

for a lot of guys between about 20-25 she was the first girl they ever noticed, similar to men who gret up in the 70's with princess leia

I've literally masturbated to the thought of living in a country house and waking up to her making me a nice English breakfast with pressed coffee and wearing nothing but heels and a cooking apron with her hair pulled up.

Don't tell me what my fantasies are, faggot.

are you fucking retarded? are you akshually fucking retarded? i wanna punch you in the throat

It is obvious that your “fantasies” are products of a pathetic imagination fueled by stereotypical circumstances, and that anyone could be in that apron. Go buy Who Cleans the Housemaids? Vol. 8 porn DVD.

She looks kind of like a boy though.

No, that's a nice teenage figure, and jailbait has never felt out of fashion. If you focus on her butt alone, it's totally '''me gusta'''. Porn is in the face, and hers has none.

Literally do not give a flying fuck if you think my fantasies are stereotypical. Not a single fuck. In fact, I've just unbuttoned my pants and I'm going to think about her sucking me off while I read your pathetic excuse for a thread.

She looks porn when she's angry.

Describe how her breasts look like after the boob job to which she agreed only for you. Doctor said she chose the biggest implants her body allowed.

didnt rowling do character and setting descriptions well?

Not interested

i dont get the appeal either

jesus you guys might be psychotic, how do you get this angry about nothing

Gotta say she has some fantastic feet

Would have really enjoyed them when i was younger but i was busy watching porn all day

There's nothing wrong with Harty Potter if you're a kid; it's a fairly imaginative story and it has some interesting characters. The issue is when grown adults read it and nothing else, then use it as their sole point of reference when discussing "books" and relate it back to real life in retarded ways.

this guy gets it

Emma Watson is the most perfect girl ever. Prove me wrong.

I grew up with it and loved it, but the first four books are the most coherent. It functioned best as a narrative contained within Hogwarts and each book after Goblet of Fire just diminishes the initial coziness of the setting until it's gone.

Bear in mind, that's what my assessment is based on looking back on my impressions. I was 18 when I finished it, a decade ago and I'm kinda hesitant to pick it back up for fear I'll break the nostalgia glasses I have for it.

have you seen her feet?

she has a five star rating on wikifeet

Not a footfag but they look nice nonetheless.
