I happen to like the Harry Potter series. Yes, they are children books. There was a point when I wondered if it was worth reading the next one, but once I started reading it was immediately really fun to read.
The movies are also amazing. Most movies that are based on books are really inferior to the books. But the authors of the Harry Potter movies did an extremely good job.
Just remembering Alan Rickman for his role as Snape does not give him full credit. He played in a lot of other movies [0] and he did a lot of theatrical work of which there is no real record.

- dudul 5y agoI found the movies very mediocre. They try to tell a 500 page story in 2 hours. Plus they waste screen time on stupid action scenes instead of including important plot elements. The books are really good though. The world building would be a true masterpiece if Rowling didn't make the mistake of including time travel.
- NotSwift 5y agoTelling a difficult story in 2 hours is difficult anyway. The directors made some reasonable choices. The overall level of acting was very good (perhaps this is not surprising when you know that the cast included some very famous British actors). The visual effects were also very convincing.
