Shouldn’t Harry take lessons from adrian mole on how to be a teenager or is having zero personality the new character development.

I don’t particularly like shakespeare but give me the tempest any day of the week. Where for art though Caliban I have some trinkets.

What do you think?

Harry Potter goes to a school where they teach him how to wave his wand like some kind of advanced phd only its so obviously just wand waving. The characters are devoid of any character and films just seem to move without any sense at all. Sorry JK I just dont get it.

What more, it is clear you do not know how to read Sarcasm. While my point was meant to imply, to some degree, that this argument and discussion on the thread was academic in nature, the academic opinion was as futile as the political sphere by comparison. Thus a sarcastic point, rather than one meant to be taken seriously.

However, if we are to delve into the nature of education and opinion, I’d put forth that education does narrow points of view, within a certain scope of topics. Rather, in the vast majority it only supplies knowledge on which to base opinions by comparison. If we are to use the scientific method (question, hypothesize, test, theorize, conclude) not one of us on this thread have done this in respect to the examination of Harry Potter or its comparison to LOTR. That said, I (at least) can bring to the point that as both a professional writer and an educated one at that, the nature of the films versus the books is a topic of debate that has existed for sometime and I provided my own opinions formulated about the films in question after reading and understanding those debates that came before it. This gives me an advantage in the discussion and by way validates it because others would agree with me on it. Since my education is in fact, creative writing and scriptwriting, my entire educational career has been about redacting common processes to writing and the sphere there in. In other words, my very purpose in educating myself is to in fact break the very conventions that confine and restrict writing, by understanding them and knowing what is expected and thus knowing how to deliberately step outside those bounds.

Unfortunately that approach to learning has an inherent flaw in that it isolates your thought realm from potentially useful bodies of knowledge and experience through summary rejection. Without this mechanism the allegedly superior “educated us” body of believers that you adhere to could not exist.

Such an approach to the acquisition and maintenance of knowledge is not really scientific in nature. Instead it seeks to reject notable amounts of knowledge and experience with ridicule and moral posturing.

This behavioral phenomena was well documented in a recent Harvard study that showed clearly the more people attach a sense of superiority to their knowledge as a way of differentiating themselves above others they believed to be less so — the more rapidly and pronounced was their learning deficit.

Because true science doesn’t have a place for ridicule or moral posturing I don’t think that opinions formed or espoused in that manner are all that educated or long term sustainable. But as I said before “you are entitled to your opinion”.

Guys, have fun while I have intimate hours with the game

On the matter of the second apology, again it comes down to appearance of respect. While I now understand that you use boy and girl in a sense of endearment, without prior knowledge to this it appeared condescending. Further, your comment of “waking up on the wrong side of the bed” further exacerbated that sense of condescension. (No need to apologize again, I’m merely pointing out the reasoning behind my previous post.)

@FT That is the point I suppose, it’s all opinion.

My comment to was addressed to @KM when I said he was entitled to his opinion too. I was addressing him – not you.

In light of the above errors you have made I think I’ve also made my case that you seem to contradict yourself.

Anyhoo…whazzap people?

Adieu.

@FFF Not sure why you think sarcasm makes you seem smart, intelligent, or superior in some way. However you are entitled shape your character in any way you see fit.
