I always found the band in the movie weird, the way they song about wizards. It'd be kind of like a muggle band singing about how great it is to be a bicycle repairman.

I've just watched the scene over again, and they don't actually sing about wizards at all. The first song names off a bunch of magical creatures, you can't make out the lyrics to the second song, and the third one has pun lyrics about not letting the magic die.

Having said that, there are many muggle songs I know that are about mundane things like occupations and bicycles, so I wouldn't see it being any way out of the ordinary if a wizard band did in fact sing about wizards.

Maybe I misremembered the scene. It's been a few years since I saw the movie.

Glad you got a kick out of it :)

Jayson, I have very recently given in to my frnd's constant nagging n read Harry Potter, ur update made me laugh all the more 😂 n happy too, knowing that I'm not the only one who felt that way about poor dear Ron😁 he remains the most true to life, widely relatable character of the whole series, or so I feel, personally I have many of the annoying habits of Hermione, but Ron is my fvrt☘

I'm glad to hear my updates have added to the experience of reading the series! Ron's also my favorite of the main three, and it's been very nice to return to the text to point out his virtues and tidy-up his reputation, which the films sadly soiled.

Thrilled to hear that, Sara! Laughing out loud is one of my favorite reactions to reviews and updates I write, second only to spitting out drinks 😁👍

Likewise 💁‍♂️ the films did not do justice to his character like he's a mere comic relief! Glad that u too feel that way about Ron 😁👌

Absolutely! Ron plays a crucial role in the group. Harry and Hermione were raised by muggles. Ron's the window into the wizarding world for both them and the reader. In the same way that Hermione's smarts is a literary device for exposition about history and spell knowledge, Ron plays the same role for common sense wizarding knowledge. The fact that they give all of his wizarding know-how to Hermione in the films is tantamount to character assassination.

Ron is, in a way, "worldly wise" and even creative at times. U r right, the movies simply wipe it all out. 😒

And there was no reason to do it other than to possibly make Hermione shine brighter by comparison.

Not just Hermione, she already shines bright, its to present a foil to Harry himself, to glorify Harry or so it seems to me, as in there should be One Hero n so the other boy has to b shown as a "side-kick".

That's true too. To a degree that's understandable since films are relatively short and you don't want to spread focus too thin. But it's still a shame. I just mentioned Hermione because they regularly lifted Ron quotes verbatim and gave them to Hermione to say in the films, when Ron could have just said them. So it was specifically a transfer of his knowledge to her, which I always make sure to point out in my updates when I spot them :)

The gif in the status or the gif in the comments? Well, either way that's sad to hear that Kindle users are missing out. If future I'll have to make it so that the message is conveyed regardless.
