It's because it was offensive to Americans seeing children being fed at school
Austerity Potter
Temu Potter
In the books, the school putting out a huge feast for the students is supposed to show the stark contrast of starvation and abuse Harry went through prior to Hogwarts. If this is a sign of how little effort they're putting in I'm thrilled.. Let it bomb and bomb hard. Terfs don't deserve our time or money
It's interesting how the books never truly question the class consciousness that is at the heart of his backstory.
Thats because rowling was writing a story about maintaining the status quo. Its interesting just how much she wrote overtly class conscious inequality, like wizards being an isolated superior class who can act with impunity on muggles, but then hand waves it as appropriate and good because the alternative is "bad".
It won't bomb unfortunately.
As much as Twitter and Reddit are up their ass about JKR her bullshit tends to remain only in those spaces. Most people don't know she is a shitty person.
That's also not even taking into account the number of people who probably support her.
Considering how many of those who complained about Reddits enshitification the last 5ish years are still on it... I'm sure they will also be bitching about JKR and still watching the show.
They'll all watch it so they can pick it apart meme by meme. But it's ok, a hate watch doesn't count.
Yeah, I'm down with criticism of the revising author, but they really did make some solid movies back in the day.
Just remember folks - if you really really can't go without it, the only ethical way of watching Harry Potter is by donning your hat and parrot. 🦜
This just goes to show how ignorant some fans are! They use OWLS, not parrots! Some people! /s

Harry Potter joins the navy.
Is this real? I thought it was a joke. Is it because they don't want school kids knowing what a big school meal looks like?
Harry Potter and the Measures of Austerity
Harry Potter and the empty goblet waiting for the fire to trickle down
The goblet is a lie
What just normal drinking glasses? In whimsical magic castle?
Lmao I want nothing to do with that series anymore for a variety of reasons but if this is actually a screenshot of the utterly unnecessary remakes then that is pathetic. I'm pretty sure the source material said goblets. Most meals were described as tables full of food such as the left. Not a cafeteria plate that wouldn't look out of place in a modern school. Soulless remake cashgrab I hope it flops so hard it just basically marks the end of HP in the mainstream. Nobody asked for this.
The movie producers suck so bad they can't be bothered, or don't trust themselves, to find new movies, despite more good ideas than you can shake a stick at, and instead remake already popular movies again paying obsceme amounts of money to big name actors and using flashy new computer graphics.
Hollywood has sucked my entire life, I understand many of you don't realize how true that is, but they have gotten a lot worse with consolidation, It's down to 3 or 4 studios now, 3 with each around 25%, including Paramount now. It's going to get a lot worse.
It used to be that remakes would be taking advantage of new technology. Like silent films remade with sound or black and white redone in color.
Now, advancements are incremental and often look worse than what we used to have. All these remakes are just studios trying to monetize their existing IP.
They need the money to eliminate all the trans people
Transphobes starving misfit children is nothing new.
Because HP is a role model for poor children, and poor children shouldn't have the expectation of getting a feast ever. They should see the bare minimum school lunch and think it looks like a horn of plenty because US schools have been shutting down and reducing school meal programs. Real students don't get anything.
Depressing brown on grey cinematography strikes again, even with Harry Potter
start of term feast vs regular morning breakfast?
but also why does the newer one look like actual school meals lol😭
but also why does the newer one look like actual school meals lol😭
Because it's on a tray, which makes no sense.
Makes it easier for the slaves to carry, i guess
In the books, the slaves set the meal on "dummy" tables and the food gets teleported to the true tables
Why did they need slaves then? Couldn’t they just teleport it all in the first place?
To make the food in the first place. Magic cannot make or transform food. But you can move it with magic, store it in magic containers, or add magical properties to food.
No you see, its a sentient race that likes to be slaves so you need something to do for your slave race

That’s not magical at all! That’s like normal school😆
I wonder if they went out of their way to hire kids they “know” won’t grow up to be gay.
Did anyone ask for this to be remade?
The right looks like a “choose 5 items” breakfast at a university canteen.
Tbf that pile of chicken legs does not look that appetizing...or maybe just me
It's traditional British food - chicken leg boiled in unsalted water.
Not sure if joking…
And then dried out.
Animal Jerky; because we forgot what animal it was originally
We call it dry-aged!
