We're just discussing shit,mate.
Imagine actually taking Harry Potter seriously...

For me knowing the details and narrative of any book\game is important to overall credibility and how convincing your argument is. Its like a debate on D&D games and rulesets, if you dont know the details how can make an effective post?

So its not discussing shit, its an informed opinion on the topic. I expect people to know the names of houses if they are knowledgeable

The best part of this thread is watching the usual suspects trip over themselves to make it clear they don't care about Harry Potter and know nothing about Harry Potter and hate Harry Potter and take issue with very specific things about Harry Potter even though they don't care about Harry Potter

Well, the gig is up so I might as well come out of the closet and talk about HP.

That franchise was made for kids like me. Of course I will have a stake in this thread even if it's just for the catharsis. Now, whether trannies v rowling is winning or not, I don't give a shit.

O the other hand, remembering that Ron was actually the level headed one that got done dirty in the movies? I take issue with that. The poor bastard was the middle of the middlest children, with much more succesful brothers (athletics, charisma or downright magical ability) and a kid sister for which HE had to answer for. So he finally gets to school, finally can get a clean break rigth as he's about to enter puberty. The first friend he makes at school? Turns out is Magic Jesus. The guy got a ton of resentment for the main character for a reason. Hell, HP picked up on it around book 4 or 5 and had to trick him into gaining confidence.

In the movies? He was the comic relief and his reward was making out with Emma Watson. Talk about disappointment.

I would like to have some of that in the game as well. There is a gameplay trailer where you help your friend get rid of his curse. Probably he will turn evil because you are the MC and he will get tired of being the comic relief. What I would also like to see is some tough love dialogue choices - basically telling him that life sucks but that's what it is. Also I want a false choice to try to be supportive but he will construct it as you being condescending and having him become a boss later on.

I mean, Potterites want a serious and mature evolution of the series (despite it being a kid's book series) well there you go.

Another point is that the Coles are making a sequel to Hero-U. The first game focused on the rogue class. It's quite a shameless Harry Potter parody, homage because it's a boarding school for heroes: fighters, wizards, rogues and paladins (I think). The sequel will be all about the wizard class. Unfortunatelly they said that they will only work on a second game if there are enough sales of the first. I have no idea what their deadline will be but it's a shame because one of the things I loved about quest for glory was playing as a mage. I hated adventure games and their puzzles but QFG gave you the option to magic your way out of your problems (even if it was a fireball to the face).

Edit - Disregard my post about Hero-U 2, I suck cocks. They are releasing some visual novel set in the Hero-U universe called Summer Daze at Hero-U: Tilly’s Tale. Some whale sent them enough funding to go ahead with Hero-U 2: wizard's way so that is happening.

Did you know that the original inhabitants of the British isles were midget nigger creatures they refer to as "Cheddar Man"? It was obvious that Cheddar Man was a nigger, because right next to the skeleton were empty bottles of colt 45, mad dog 20/20 and a crack pipe. Cheddar Man DNA also explains the popularity of KFC in Britain.

Like all other magic, it is demons.

Harry Potter is extremely popular, at least the movies. Is like Skyrim, everyone here knows that is shit yet everyone here played.

The movies are mostly dogshit though. Nerds should just be willing to admit they've read a popular book series.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

I've seen all the movies multiple times from being at my mother's house over the years. She loves the movies and used to have them on all the fucking time.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

I read the novel, all of them. 1 and 2 was best when they have this cozy adventurous feel.

Honestly moving to young adult and making Voldemort major plot is a mistake.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

"young adult" is the worst genre of literature ever created so that's no surprise
either it's for children or it's not, stop treating adults like children and stop treating children like idiots

 

[Heroic Liberator]

YA literature is for teenagers ultimately, but 'young adult' makes it sound more elevated than it actually is.

And teenagers should be reading adult literature, not slightly more mature children's books.
We're really messing people up by treating them like children well into their 20s at this point.

I'm not arguing against books like Harry Potter for children, but I don't believe they are challenging in the least for an average teenager to read.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Issue is that a lot of teenagers like that sort of stuff (particularly thinking about teenage girls & romance-oriented YA stuff like Twilight). If a teenager is into literature in general, I doubt that they'd gravitate towards that kind of thing just because it's marketed as YA.

I see it as entertainment products masquerading as educational. People think there is some inherit good just to be reading, but if it's not challenging them, is there? Is it really that different from watching TV? It's probably much worse than say, a competitive (sports or video) game.

Nobody is honestly arguing that reading random shit is educational. The only merit of reading in today society though is training attention span. Younger people are all retarded with attention span of less than 1 minute that being able to actually read novels today, even lightweight one, is an achievement.

Reading normal novels is just like watching movies or any other entertainment otherwise.

The big push to read Harry Potter was to improve literacy though. I remember constantly seeing commercials for that. Do you have any idea how often these ads played here?

(Some of you guys have to remember these too, right?)

Which, they are generally fine books for children.

YA "literature" is the fast food of reading. It's low quality schlock. It's just repackaged children's books with slightly edgier content and no learning value.

Proper literature is still part of school curricula. Issue is that teenagers read less and less as a recreational activity outside of school, so promoting YA literature is just a corrective measure since it's better for someone to at least read YA of their own volition rather than to not recreationally read at all.
