Harry Potter

I know there are a few fellow Harry Potter obsessives on this forum. Harry Potter is a subject that gives me a lot of joy and can help me when I'm struggling.

I just wondered if anyone was up for chatting some Harry Potter - favourite characters, favourite scenes, differences between books and films etc?

Please no JK debates though. Just light hearted discussion of the content of the books/films themselves.

  • Hi. I love Harry Potter as well! I started off with the books which I absolutely loved and have read so many times now. They never get old, I could read them for ever! I love the films as well though prefer the books. I also enjoyed the spin off film series - Fantastic Beasts.

    Newt is such an interesting and fascinating character so it's really cool they've followed some of his life. I'm hoping they'll do more for other characters as well, maybe like Tom Riddles youth, I think that'd be fascinating.

    I also have a great collection of Harry Potter things like the books, dvds, Lego, video games and some plushies.

    It's definitely a special interest for me too.

  • I definitely prefer the books.

    I loved the first Fantastic Beasts film and thought following Newt was a great idea. I loved delving further into the fantastic beasts and the differences in other countries magic wise. But then the 2nd film ruined it for me. They messed with the original Harry Potter timeline and plot and the story got way too complicated. I thought it was a massive shame as it had so much potential.

    I'd like one about Riddles youth but I would be concerned that they would make similar mistakes.

    I have a lot of Harry Potter Lego. It's become a bit of an addiction. I currently have 2 sets waiting for me to build. I'm trying to be really patient because I have a long period of work in the summer that I find difficult so I want to have the Lego to fill some of the time. Admittedly it's probably only going to fill a couple of days because I will obsessively build it until it's done.
