    Now turn it around.

    Would you read a Harry Potter book with over 10000 pages based on the movie describing every little detail on screen?

    Like the reaction of every character on screen, the amount and type of food on everyone’s plate, the amount of bricks in a wall, …

    TERF Rowling would make money from it and has stated that said money is a tacit endorsement of her views so… can’t.

        This is asking if I would want to watch this movie. Implying it would be made, meaning millions of people would watch it and give money to TERF Rowling. And as we saw with Hogwarts Legacy, not enough people care enough about not giving money to the TERF. So, no. I don’t want any more Harry Potter content made, unless it’s fanfic that features Harriet Potter smearing shit all over a racist, transphobic, bigoted author.

    Reading the books again lately. The first two films were pretty true to the books and left very little out, biggest thing missing might be Peeves and Neville’s involvement in some events.

    The third film, however, skates over some very critical events by combining some stuff from Hogsmeade and just skimming the surface of Lupin"s role.

    No because they would need new actors and at this point I don’t want to deal with the massive amount of fan backlash that would happen

    Which film is 24 hours? If Order of the Phoenix is 24 hours, that wouldn’t be the worst. All others would be under that, as short as about 7 hours going by pages per minutes. But, if book one is 24 hours, then all the rest would be more than that, and OotP would be, like, 84 hours.

      One page per minute is how we estimate runtimes from scripts so sounds about right.

        Biggest issue for me in my screenwriting classes. My pacing is borked, dialogue is so much quicker spoken than it looks like, and the format of screenplays means it takes up a lot of page relative to its actual speed. I love screenwriting, but I’m too reliant on dialogue and it screws everything up for me lol
