Added 2024-06-02 18:24:20 +0000 UTCTHIS PART OF THE BOOK CLUB IS NOW COMPLETE! THANK YOU ALL FOR TAKING PART AND SEE YOU NEXT TIME!! :)
Oof-Tee-Poof, everyone!! 👋
Here is a chance to get your comment read out in the next Book review video!
If you are reading along with the reviews, we are covering chapters "The Unexpected Task" & "The Yule Ball"! So if you have any thoughts, opinions, comparisons or questions regarding these, please leave a comment below!
I do have to ask, try to keep them fairly short, like 4 or 5 sentences. That way I can cover more when making the video. Also try to keep them on subject and not referencing anything that we are yet to cover. Ideally, keep it to 1 comment each if you can (if you have more to say after commenting, you can edit it and add to it! :) ). These are just rough guidelines rather than rules, I want to be able to fit in as many of you as possible! :)
NEW FEATURE!! - As some of you may want to make a comment, but not have it replied to by others, you can now Message me your thoughts on the chapters by DM'ing me on here. If you do, please follow all the above rules, especially avoiding mentioning things in future chapters or books! Oh and please start your DM message with "Book Club -"!
To anyone that does reply to comments below, please make sure you are being friendly and respectful! A lot of tone and meaning can be lost in text, after all! If you disagree with someone on something, keep it polite and remember the golden rule in life - Sometimes you have to just agree to disagree! :)
Thanks, guys!! :)

"compliance" erm... the moral implications of moody having an eye that can see theough clothes is a bit problematic. nice bit if back story on hagrid in this chapter and a mention of giants which I think the film skips, though the mind boggles at how that inter species relationship works anatomically.

I would also give him the benefit of the doubt, that some directors made him do some of the things, that are out of character for Book Snape. I don't want to upset anyone, but when i think about Bonnie Wrights perfomance... I think it is one of the most emotionless lifeless perfomances i have ever seen. Actually the only scene from her i really liked, was the scene in the bookstore, where she confronts Malfoy. But when you could have choosen the actor for Snape, at the time the movie was made, who would you have picked?

2024-06-29 14:07:13 +0000 UTCI was worried I was going to miss out on this book club but it looks like I'll manage to sneak my comment in at the last moment! :) I promise this is my very last comment on how much I hate the movies. But I need to get this one off my chest. (Don't worry, it is related to these 2 chapters.) Veggie, you know how much I love book Severus Snape. Unfortunately, I don't recognize him in Mr Rickman's performance at all. Take the scene of Mr Rickman smacking the boys with a book and aggressively shoving their heads. This scene isn't anywhere in the books, it was completely made up by the filmmakers. It's also completely out of book Snape's character! Book Snape is verbally harsh but he's always physically gentle. He scolds students and deducts points but he never uses physical punishment. Never. There's not a single scene of him hitting a student anywhere in the books. That's why I hate the movie scene so much. Talk about character assassination. I already wrote it before - Severus has many great characteristics but the thing I love about him the most is how non-violent he is. When you take this trait from him, he stops being Severus Snape to me. To me, Mr Rickman is not Severus Snape. He doesn't look like book Snape. He doesn't behave like book Snape. He doesn't even speak like book Snape! (Severus never speaks unnaturally slowly like Rickman does in the movies.) They don't even have the same backstory. (Don't worry, no spoilers there.) For example, book Severus was almost murdered by a classmate (using a werewolf as a murder weapon) when he was 16. This near-death experience naturally traumatised young Severus and shaped his personality. But this never happened in the movie timeline! And that's just one example. Real Severus Snape is in the books.
