A Phineas and Ferb Party? Well, okay, but someone’s going to have to bring the bootleg DVDs.

I went on a Phineas and Ferb binge on YouTube a few weeks ago- that show is one of the most well-written and plotted cartoons, and the musical numbers really are excellent! Real proof (as if anyone needed it) that child-oriented doesn’t have to mean stupid.

To be fair, the adaptations leave out a lot of character development because they had to be trimmed down so much. The first book does start out very light, just an enjoyable entertaining read. It progresses from there, developing characters and fleshing them out more and upping the stakes. As with any translation from medium to medium, there’s going to be a lot lost in the move.

And I don’t really like Harry Potter either, but I do like the actor.

I completely agree with the sentiment about Harry Potter. I liked him enough at first, seemed like the standard protagonist of boy who lucked into a better life… then he just got really grating.

I’m not sure how you came to that conclusion, because to me it seemed like pretty heavy foreshadowing that he’d rebuild and try again. Harry Potter’s whole existence as a famous “wizard” is because he survived it.

I have been dragged to all of the films, and my main problem is this: I do not care about the Potter character. I am completely indifferent to his eventual success or failure. I can enjoy the films on a purely visual level, but the acting of the three main characters is awful and there has been little, if any, character development since the start. It’s not as though Rowling wrote anything remotely original anyway: Neil Gaiman wrote ‘The Books of Magic’ for DC Vertigo comics over a decade before she started, whose protagonist is a lonely bespectacled boy who has the potential to become the world’s greatest magician and an owl as a companion.

True.

I guess I figured that by the end of the first book, Voldy was gone. He was weakened and would never come back.

I never read the sixth book. I went from Book #5 (the book that got me off the series) straight to Book #7.

Hey where’s Perry?

I catch my 5 year old doing the “Doofenschmirtz Evil Incorporated” sing-song ad chant all the time….:)

Harry Potter movies are forgettable in general as they are not great but don’t suck as bad as the many Video game adaptations. They are what I like to call a pleasant waste of time.

I have not really enjoyed any of the HP movies. I’ve never felt like rewatching them, though I do watch the second one hwen it’s on TV because young Tom Riddle is cute. I loved the first four books, with the third book being the high point, but everything after that was a painful struggle that I only forged through because of my need for completion. I’ll watch these two movies for the same reason.

Also, I’ve always hated the character Harry Potter. His friends and teachers are so much more likable and interesting.

To be fair, the signs that it was going to make that switch were in it from the beginning. Also, as much as I enjoy the series, it has no business being used in an educational setting.
