I never understood making a trilogy out of a relatively short single book. Of course I understood, the aspect of making bread; the trilogy made a ton of money. I just watched the last two movies last week (:skip:) and I didn't necessarily have any issue with them, but they were utterly forgettable. I felt like I was watching the straight to DVD versions of the LOTR trilogy

Easy. He'll either not give a shyt or only watch what his dad has. Put your foot down man. Wasting money.

How's your son going to eat when his dad spends his grocery money on movies he hates?

Better yet, how's your son going to shyt in peace when you spending diaper money on garbage flicks?

Even worse than making a 300 page book into a trilogy, they are making a 42 page book into a trilogy for the harry potter spinoff prequels.

But rowling is writing those screenplays herself

As a Harry Potter fiend I'm always down for that universe but I do also acknowledge its a cash grab. Trying not to be too cynical about it

I give her the benefit of the doubt on being able to expand that story and universe. She obviously misses it because she is always talking about it

I haven't watched all of the Harry Potter movies anyway:yeshrug: Loved the books, but never had that much of a desire to watch the movies. Maybe because of the relatively short period of time between the books and movies.

So much untapped potential still left in the HP universe. Stories that can still be told. It seems like Rowling is just now waking up to that.

I mean look at stuff like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and at how the their universes and lore have grown throughout the years through various forms of media(books, movies, games.etc).It just felt like a waste to leave it all at 7 books.
