poki Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hey. So it's well known The Prisoner of Azkaban is the most beloved of the Harry Potter books / movies. This is the only one where Voldemort doesn't appear. Does this mean Voldemort was a bad villian? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Summer Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Well known by who? It certainly wasn’t my favorite. He’s a little one-dimensional at times, maybe, and I have no special need to give Rowling extra credit given her later history, but I think he was pretty effective for what the story needed, for what the franchise was, and for the target audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mtjjproducer Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Honestly would’ve liked them to make dumbledore the villain. He was bad just not as bad as Voldemort. Couldn’t stand his manipulative ass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaria Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 He is in the movies. His character in the books is a little more complex. The final battle between him and Harry especially was played out differently in the books which showed his human side. The movies made him seen like an entity rather than a human being that got corrupted 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameltoe Chariot Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Nah, he was a great villain. And kind of prophetic in a way now knowing the rabbit hole Rowling herself has fallen down The movies glossed over his origin story, which makes up the bulk of the 6th book Half Blood Prince. I think people make a lot of their judgements towards the series based off of the movies, which is too bad because the books are MUCH more complex than what ended up on screen. Looking forward to the HBO re-adaptation. Oh, and trans rights are human rights 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideOrDie Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 the 3rd movie is considered the best because alfonso is the best director the series has ever seen, his take was so unique and had so much style and charm to it. compare it to something like the goblet of fire movie which is just... let me not! the last act is great but the rest... voldy is fine, he was a bit too one-dimensional in the movies but that's hollywood, he had a lot more going on for him in the bewks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Who Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) The Prisoner of Azkaban is also my favourite movie in the franchise but that doesn’t take away from Voldemort as a villain. I really enjoyed him and I’m excited to see how he’s adapted in the upcoming HBO show as I’m sure we’ll see his character developed even more. He who must not be named is so hunty, yas gawd mama house down boots! Edited October 24, 2023 by The Man Who Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack! Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 He was okay? I think a "good villain" is one that at several points in a book or movie series can conflict you into thinking they're actually the anti-hero and have you rooting for them somewhat. Or not have their story-arc be so obvious that they're going to ultimately lose in the end - and that wasn't explored enough with Voldemort. Yeah they humanised him a lot more in the books and even in the movies I like how they played out showing his progression from Tom to Voldemort, but I don't think they ever made his goal make sense enough for people to be on his side. And considering the nature of the name of the series you know Harry would prevail in the end anyway. He isn't bad but not my favourite villain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptus Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Prisoner of Azkaban is visually stunning but soo boring. You have time travel tool and use it for...that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeHicks Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I liked his backstory in the 6th book. The implication that he was a sociopath because he was conceived while his father was under the effect of a love potion was so interesting.
