Writing a book is super daunting
Why did you decide to take it up? Writing a book I mean

For some reason I've never been able to read fiction. I breeze through non fiction books, but can't sit around and read fiction
I've never given the HP books a shot though. I guess it's time :p

Have reviewed it. Amazing take!
I though feel, itโs a different combination of things that worked in HPโs case

Random things about Neville:
1. His name was not on the book of admittance for a long time. His magical abilities were hidden.
2. For five years he used his fatherโs wand (and probably thatโs why he didnโt reach his full potential while performing magic as the wand as choses the owner).
3. He was possibly the last person to buy wand from Ollivander.
4. He married Hannah Abbot, became a professor of herbology and they lived above the leaky cauldron.

I feel he was downplayed in the movies. The reveal wasnโt satisfactory.

Perhaps I imagined him differently

Yes, he was. For me he was more heroic and powerful than Harry. Also movies donโt really talk in depth about his familyโฆhow the book of admittance discovered his magic and his story in general. Thatโs also because movies canโt focus on everything and everyone. Thatโs why books >>> movie.

Everyone who teaches storytelling, talks about this difference between books and movies
P.S. I donโt like Harry Potter as a character

I didn't even realise that there was structure until I had read this twitter thread ๐
But the fact that the characters feel so human and relatable despite being in a super natural/fantasy world. There's so much emotional storytelling, themes of the strength of family bonds, value of friendship in darker times, loss of close loved ones, kindness, generosity & sacrifice are all well portrayed.
Characters are allowed to experience different emotions rather than remain one note. The friendships between the trio are wonderfully played out.
I can't pinpoint what worked for HP but it resonates with you!

Damn, didn't know any of this
I need to read the books ASAP!

Books, @karanagrawal books!!
โค๏ธ
Iโll give you an example:
Ron has been shown to be dumb, especially in the first few movies
In the books, he was the one who explained what a โmudbloodโ is.

Have you read this book by Matthew Dicks called Storyworthy?
Himanshu Khanna
Books, @karanagrawal books!!
Yeah definitely! I'm picking up the HP books after I finish my current read.
I was going to re-read Storyworthy but I guess it can wait ๐

I read it a couple of years back, and it continues to be the best (non-fiction) book I've ever read!

The movie, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was released in 2001, indicating that it was likely filmed and edited between 1997 and 2001. It's worth noting that the visual effects in the movie were impressive for their time, surpassing those commonly seen in current Indian films.
