No I don’t I’m just messing around. We’ve played with the same rules every time and have gotten destroyed on games 4 and 5. So much of it is luck, based off the order of the villains as well as the order that the cards you can acquire flip over
Wife and I played level 7 tonight (we each play two characters) and we were doing splendidly until one of the horcruxes stopped letting her give coins to other players and we had a board full of 6+ expense cards. We didn’t get a petrificus totalus until the 57th card of the buyable deck and we had a total of 4 dice roll cards in our four combined decks when we lost. Once we got to the 4th location that turns 3 dark arts events per turn we lost in like 3 rotations
Just watched the “Always” scene... hits me right in the feels every time Got tickets to Harry Potter and The Cursed Child for next year on Broadway
So yea... https://techcrunch.com/2017/11/08/n...-be-a-harry-potter-ar-game-launching-in-2018/ Niantic’s follow-up to Pokémon Go will be a Harry Potter AR game launching in 2018 Niantic Labs had tremendous success with Pokémon Go, which paired their expertise in building location-based augmented reality mobile experiences with a top-flight IP with a ravenous fan base. So, it stands to reason that we should expect a similar fan response to Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, an AR title set to launch in 2018, co-developed by Warner Bros. Interactive and its new sub brand Portkey Games. Niantic building a Harry Potter game similar to Pokémon Go was rumoured last year, when the company noted that it had acquired the rights to the app. But the rumour was subsequently debunked, oddly enough, with the original article containing the information pulled from the web. The app is now official, but the details are still scarce, with the launch timeframe of just sometime next year, but it sounds like there will be significant influence from the Niantic game Ingress, which allows players to roam the real world collecting power-ups, defending locations and exploring their environment. The mechanics of Ingress would actually translate pretty well to the fictional Harry Potter universe, and seems almost ready-made for a fantasy spell casting coat of paint to replace its science-fiction special forces veneer. Also, like Pokémon Go, it could benefit from the location database built up by Ingress originally (and expanded by the Pokémon title) to incorporate real-world locations into the in-game experience.
Been listening to the books on tape (read by Jim Dale) and just finished Book 6. Dumbledore dying was rough. The way JKR wrote (and Dale voiced) Dumbledore's voice when Snape shows up. Harry's inability to move for a minute after it happened due to fear.
Played Game 6 last night with my wife, my buddy and his mom. She was Harry and we got down to just Voldemort with a number of hits on him, on the last location with a bunch of counters on the location. She got stunned so had to discard half her hand, add the last counter to the location but got to finish her turn. She had just enough hits to take him out and win otherwise it was game over loss. For those that have been playing, you can imagine how intense it was
Wife and I both got sent home early due to snow/ice coming and both off Monday so decided to do a rewatch. The look on Draco’s face at the end of term feast when Dumbledore awards Ron 50 points and he realizes Slytherin are about to get shafted is pretty funny
I just got done rewatching Community a couple days ago. Completely forgot Lee jordan is Magnitude until I just saw him announcing the quidditch match
My wife was in the restroom and I backed up and paused so that when they cut to him I could say this and raise the roof
And book Malfoy is 38 years old now. Those little twerps were having their adventures during Clinton's first term.
The greatest tragedy of the whole series is that it took place before Arthur Weasley got his hands on a smart phone and/or tablet.
Dobby's death hit me harder than any death in ASOIAF except maybe Ned's and that was more shock than anything. GRRM kills people with reckless abandon. JKR barely killed anyone for six and a half books. Then Dobby saved the day and I blubbered.
Between Christmas and New Year I got to see the sorcerers stone movie with the music performed by the Cincy orchestra. It was awesome. They’re doing chamber of secrets next year and I will be at ever single one if they do one movie a year for the next seven years.
It would be much harder to watch Dumbledore suffer if he were still Richard Harris instead of Michael Gambon
Makes Snape and Voldemort doing it seem so much less significant and minimizes the power of those characters
Exactly. That is such a huge oh shit moment when he does it but in the movies it just like “whatever, everyone can do this”
Still less annoying than Daniel Radcliffe expressing anger in every single scene by smiling for w/e fucking reason.
I can forgive that they chose someone who ended up not being a good actor when they picked him at 10. I don’t forgive changing details that impact the story and to me that impacts the story as it was a way of showing how powerful Voldemort was
When we were in Indianapolis they did multiple ones a year. Started in 2016 and did Sorcerer's Stone and then last year did both Chamber of Secrets and Prisoner of Azkaban. Last week they just did the Goblet of Fire (jealous we couldn't see it having just moved). It is really well done.
My wife got it for Christmas and we have only played with two of us (with one character each) and got done with 4 and 5 first turn. 4 we got lucky with the hard villains in the front. 5 we were on the first location and had Voldemort and Umbridge. Fortunately we defeated Umbridge right as we got to the second location which allowed us to move to Voldemort. The double dark arts cards are killer but fortunately wife had Nimbus 2001/Krum/Fred Weasley (Rolled an additional attack) and we were able to wipe out Voldemort pretty quickly. Trying 6 tonight the two of us, probably get our asses handed to us as we were starting to get wrecked in game 5 but got lucky.
Yeah when we beat 6 it was literally the last turn of the game. We were going to lose if we didn’t beat him that turn. Haven’t beat 7 yet but haven’t really had chances to play either
I don’t know why I even watch Deathly Hallows Part 2. I hate it so fucking much. The Gringotta scene. That’s why. It’s worth watching for that but the entire battle of Hogwarts, you know, the biggest battle in the entire series is just terrible and ruined
The quality of the movies nosedived when Yates took over as permanent director with his washed out bland aesthetic
Did they ever explain wtf was up with that random ass dancing thing between Harry and Hermione in the tent? It was like something straight out of a fanfiction.
This was one of the only things added to the movies that weren't in the books that didn't bother me. So much of that part of the book/movie was spent in the tent where there wasn't a ton of action, but covered a few months of time. Even if it Rowling never wrote about it, I can imagine Harry and Hermione attempting to try and relax at some point and try to give themselves a few minutes to unwind and not worrying about everything going on with Voldemort or at Hogwarts with Snape. Plus, it is so non-essential, it doesn't change anything about the story arc (it isn't like they are using that scene to make Harry and Hermione turn into a couple, rather than Hermione-Ron). This is nowhere near the atrocity of the Death Eaters being able to fly; Death Eaters attacking the Burrow in Half-Blood Prince; Nagini/Bellatrix/Voldemort's deaths, etc.
