It’s for streaming. Filming with flat colors and static cameras compresses better.
Why is anyone watching that garbage?
Some people are just obsessed with it. I never got into it, I even tried to watch it on acid and it still didn’t interest me, btw don’t do acid and go to a movie theater. I almost walked out of watching Tropic Thunder because I was like wtf is this in the character intros, so yeah acid isn’t always great for public stuff.
Anyway the funny was my ex-fiance was really into HP, one day she asks if she can read the books for me. I said okay. Then ironically she decides the perfect time is when I’m gaming with my buddies online. I still get jokes about it to this day, they were all laughing their asses off and I’m trying to keep a straight face like this is fine.
I enjoyed it as a kid. As an adult, the flaws are really hard to look past. From the goblins with massive noses that run the wizarding worlds economy, and is in kahoots with wizard Hitler, to the eugenics related hereditarianism views, etc. etc.
Every single woman character in her books are ridiculed, or plain evil, if they take up space at all. There are like three non-white women, two are basically clones. And every single character is good or evil based on genes. Harry is a mix of both his parents, having personality traits from both, despite never having met them. That’s not how things work.
It perfectly explains why Rowling pushes the politics she does. Her ideology is based on the long since discredited sciences of the early to mid 1900s, the stuff the Nazis were basing their ubermensch stuff on. Also explains why they so readily go hand in hand with neo-Nazis.

Hermione is a hero, professor McGonagall is loved by everyone, as well as Molly Weasley and so on.

Just a couple of years ago “people with massive noses” having kahoots with Hitler would be oxymoron.
But now, after genocide of Palestinians…You’re right, that was hyperbole. What I should’ve written is “every character that expresses traditionally feminine interests”, save for of course, the tradwife, like Molly Weasley whose entire character is just being a mother. Does she have interests beyond being a mother? No, with seven children who has time to be a person?
Hermione doesn’t engage with anything traditionally feminine, she’s a “not-like-other-girls” type character, hell she doesn’t really have any friends that aren’t boys. Even so, she’s often not taken seriously. She’s mocked for studying hard, and she’s mocked for her anti-slavery coalition, which people only really join half-heartedly in order to placate her.
There’s obviously Dolores Umbridge. She’s into cute, frilly, fluffy, pink things. She’s also a sadist. Her punishment for being bad is to be carried off by centaurs to get raped in a forest.
Luna Lovegood was introduced as another character to be bullied, and she remains on the outskirts throughout the book, but Rowling softened up on her once she got extremely popular with the fans of the series.

Ah right, the massive genocide of Jews, disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, and other minorities back in the mid 1900s was okay because the Israeli state is now running a genocide of their own. Rowling was correct to be antisemitic actually!
I actually didn’t notice that, I mean I never really put much thought into it and never finished watching the movies. That’s kind of weird though when you explained the details.
It’s not garbage (and books too).
If you, perchance, want to discourage people from consuming Harry Potter because of Rowling’s views, then state so explicitly. It would send a clearer message.
It’s
nothot garbage (and books too).Ftfy.
I don’t think it needs a remake. I’m not at all remotely interested in the material.
Yes, Rowling does have garbage views. Everyone knows that she hates women, Jews, and non-white people as is evident by her garbage stories, and her political actions. It’s rubbish and shouldn’t be platformed.
she hates women
Hermione, professor McGonagall, Molly Weasley for example - they are prominent and loved characters.
They’re remaking Harry Potter? Why?
To support transphobia.
Wtf is the breakfast shown from the 2026 version? It looks like an American school cafeteria meal. Where are the goblets? Why are there trays? Kids don’t need to carry their food. It magically appears and disappears on the tables from the house elves.
Hadn’t you heard? Everything is fucking stupid now.
House elves are racist/woke/expensive/striking/wrong-religion now 😜
The house elves were always fucked up
Wait till you see the bankers
Surely they can’t be tha…oh.
Oh, my.
The top one is a dinner, while the bottom image is of a breakfast. The colors just didn’t have had time to wake and drink their coffee yet!
They’re paywalled, you need a WB Chroma+ subscription to see the rest.
The egg looks plastic for some reason
I’d say it’s accurate (considering JK Rowling) that it’s reduced to only a few colours.
TV panels are light years better at displaying lower light colors and differentiating between blacks than they were in 2001.
As things like OLED technology and HDR offerings have advanced, directors, set designers, consumer designers, cinematographers, and editors across all of post production have been able to work with more of the palette as a result.
Older works needed to be over lit and wash out nearly everything on screen just so that every pixel darker than light tan didn’t meld into one blob of color. That is no longer necessary and, as a result, the worlds shown to us in our living rooms look more real and lived in than ever.
Unless you have a TV from the 2010s in which case fuck you.
Yes, but really, no, in this situation… Look at the other comment https://pawb.social/comment/24159500
This is likely the case, done like the matrix where there are differing scenes, exposures, coloring and/or filters between worlds so the viewers can differentiate.
This is proven bc I can watch old HP on my old 2011 FHD TV and it doesn’t look entirely different than my newer UHD HDR screen. It’s that way on purpose. Otherwise older films would all be blown out with coloring or contrast too, and they’re not. Only retouching when going from VHS to DVD and/or DVD to Blu Ray, etc. Format changes do usually get a remastering.
Every iteration star trek’s lighting budget shrunk.
Lens flares count as lighting.
I am pretty sure it just counts as annoying, distracting, and fucking stupid.
Maybe that’s why alien ships in star trek often have such dim lighting- that’s how ships normally are and human ships are an exception slowly reverting to the mean
Klingons sets their spaceships to night mode because they are Autistic.
It’s a canonical plot point in Star Trek that many species prefer it darker and warmer than humans do.
Many species such as:
- Cardassians
tbf original was wayyy oversaturated
In areas where it didn’t make sense it wasn’t. The high saturation in the shown scene helps emphasize the magical feeling the characters are feeling, which the viewer is supposed to emphathize with.
The new one isn’t a movie, is it?
True, also the hall is lit with floating candles according to the source material. I imagine most of the castle should be relatively dark. Unless they want to say the candles are similar to bright LED lights, the whole thing should realistically be darker when inside. (Albeit the roof was supposed to be some magical protection varying with weather?)
should realistically be darker
Bro, this is literal fiction in a magic world. Maybe wizarding candles are miniature suns for all you know.
The cinematography and lighting has gone to shit over years and this (unwanted) iteration just seems to prove that point.
I mean i get it but it looks worse for us the people watching it and i HIGHLY doubt this is any artsy show thats making a point with its dark lighting.
Well what do people expect, it’s a cash grab series milking a dead cow, of course the focus is on getting every last penny/watch/stream out of gullible sods rather than actual quality
Yeah i could go on i mean the uniforms look less wizard school more private school too.
The glass of half filled orange juice compaired to a goblit is also very sad…
