First preview of BBC’s The ABC Murders starring John Malkovich as Hercule Poirot and Rupert Grint as Inspector Crome. The 3-part series premieres on Dec 26 2018! [x]
“Hermione and Belle are like perfect head and heart girls, they have both. They’re super smart but have this incredible empathy and compassion and ability to see, kind of, beyond things and be non-judgemental.”
Now it’s clear, Emma. You never quite understood your character.
Hermione, non-judgemental? She probably haven’t heard the word at all.
Where was Hermione’s empathy and compassion when Lavender lost her pet rabbit? Oh, I remember, that scene got deleted in the movies!
Who’s responsible to this all? Of course the good ol’ Steve Kloves. Sometimes even professional writers forget that super humans with no flaws are not believable.
Emma really needs to re-read the books again….
You can tell how badly she fell for Kloves’ distorted versions of the characters.
I think calling Steve Kloves ‘a professional writer’ is actually insulting to writers. Kloves might have done other good work, but his ‘adaptation’ of the HP series was basically just a H*rmione fanfiction with an almost-flawless Hermione, a generic protagonist Harry, and comedic sidekick Ron. Shame on Kloves.
Kloves frankly hijacked the series from JKR and that’s the hill I’m gonna die on.
He has no talent nor writing ability, he’s just good at picking a better writer then trying to make THEIR story fit HIS perception of what the story is.
I think that the HP series would look different, had Rowling not been so taken with Kloves’ Hermione-worship. Perhaps Hermione’s jealousy of Harry in HBP would be amped up. Perhaps Ron’s behaviour during the Horcrux Hunt would be described differently, with less “complaining about food” and more “sick, and out of mind with worry because Ginny is held hostage at Hogwarts”.
All in all… without Steve Kloves, I think the Harry Potter books would look much, much better.
Agreed.
(Maybe there’s some reality where Kloves never went near HP, and Rowling didn’t get influenced by his way of thinking. I hope so. Lucky reality.)
Characters it would make sense to have fall asleep in the library whilst researching for the second task in the GOF film:
Hermione Granger. Works herself way too hard, and stays in the library a lot anyway. Has a tendency to forget all that’s going on around her when she’s studying. It wouldn’t surprise me if she lost sleep from reading textbooks til the early hours.
Harry Potter. Is stressed out from the Triwizard Tournament, and finds studying tiring anyway. Is probably losing sleep over what could happen to him in the third task
Characters that it doesn’t make any sense to have fall asleep in the library whilst researching for the second task in the GOF film:
Ron Weasley. Is super-supportive of his best friends, and wants to help Harry out with his research for the second task. Is probably still beating himself up about not believing Harry at first about not putting his name in the goblet of fire. While Ron doesn’t enjoy studying for long periods, his friends’ well-being is a high priority for him, and he wants them to be okay. Knows when to take a break from studying and keep himself alert. You’d have to be extraordinarily ignorant of Ron’s character to ever think he’d fall asleep whilst researching a way to keep Harry alive.
