Miscegenation in next Harry Potter film
Does anyone know was this in the book or was this added for the film?
"Harry wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the International Quidditch Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event that's supposed to take place at Hogwarts this year, an event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for a hundred years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal, even by wizarding standards."

[QUOTE=Faust]"He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream)...Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal, even by wizarding standards."[/QUOTE]Well, they got that much right, at least. More anti-white Multi-Cult propaganda aimed at brainwashing white boys. To be avoided. :gunsmilie

Better Cho Chang than LaShawna Jefferson. This will be, what? - the fourth Harry Potter movie? You can't hope to keep racially hitting .1000 with any movie series these days. Be grateful the first three bucked the trend of the brilliant black in charge and the white buffoon beneath him.

And, be glad that it's Harry doing the banging and not the usual "[I]white girl being sexually annhiliated[/I]" by the black guy. Not that this story is going to be graphic like lots of other HollyWierd slop, but it IS a slippery slope....
Which reminds me: how different would movies like "Guess Who's Coming to dinner?" and even "Meet the Fockers" would've been if [B]the male in both stories woulda been the white Christian male[/B]? Totally different slant when momma and poppa - black 50-somethings - see a tatooed mick named Michael drive up in his Harley and throw a cigarette butt onto the ground as he steps off the hog.
Maybe even put his Dale Earnardt bandanna on as he's waiting on the porch...
Or when Streisand says that women "[COLOR=DarkRed]crave their man's sperm[/COLOR]" - just would be so much more interesting if....say.....it was their little Jewish daughter getting married and Ving Rhames was the lucky suitor, licking his thick greasy lips to get after her.....

IR: *You can't hope to keep racially hitting .1000 with any movie series these days. *
Peter Jackson wisely shot the three pictures in his Lord of the Rings trilogy simultaneously rather than sequentially...imagine how degenerate the results would have been if he'd been coerced into casting and production decisions after the PC outcry following #1.

Things like this make me glad that I never paid any attention (as far as possible) to this whole stupid occult-mainstreaming franchise in the first place.

Of course it was in the books. I'm not singling you out, Faust (you're straightforwardly acknowledging that you don't know the answer), but I'm constantly shaking my head at the number of people who claim to be surprised and outraged at incidents in the HP films, when they were present in the books all along. Same with the Lord of the Rings trilogy; I can't count the number of LOTR reviews that began with "well, I've never read the books, but..." or "I haven't read the books since I skimmed them in college, but..." or even "I, like, read a couple of the books when I was in middle school, but..." And this isn't just from online amateur reviews, either; the bleating, limp-wristed "mainstream critics" were doing the same thing.
C'mon, folks -- most films can be taken separately from the books upon which they are (usually extremely loosely) based. But these are films whose content is inseparable from the phenonomenal popularity of the books from which they were adapted. To comment effectively on them requires reading the books, whether you approve of their content or not.
And if it makes anyone feel any better, Cho turns out to be a whiney, self-centered, spiteful jerk and Harry breaks up with her. I know because I read the books.

The Star Trek Enterprise series ended, but not before an episode focusing on a relationship and copulation scene between a black regular and an attractive white actress. If any part of me was going to miss the franchise, this put an end to that.

Never fear, a cash-cow like the Star Trek franchise won't be allowed to remain dormant for too long, especially given that Hymiewood is utterly incapable of coming up with new ideas. That the Potter series has been seized upon by these same types with the avidity of a starving man crashing a Golden Corral buffet is precisely because Rowling has come up with something, while not entirely new, at least imaginitive and well-written. Oh, and all that "promoting witchcraft" stuff is nonsense. It's just a fanciful tale, and trying to read too much into it is unproductive. I'd much rather see the kiddies with a copy of Harry Potter and the Storming of Starbase 16 or what have you than have them parked in front of MTV or clutching the latest copy of The Source, let me tell you.

arkady,
Thanks for reply. Yes that does make me feel better. :cheers:

I have not read any of the Harry Potter books, that is why I asked if it was in book. I am reading Julius Evola right now. And I think there are a good number of other things well ahead of the Harry Potter books. I do kind of hate to attack things I have not seen or read or if I do so I do it carefully that is why I asked about the book. Thanks.

Parents want to protect their children, when they're not allowed to protect their children from the real dangers, their instinct looks for something else to guard against, that's where Potter comes in. It's OK to protect your children from wizardy. The PC police might make fun of them, but won't call them names like "homophobe" and "racist bigot."

Good point, but it's a sad testament to how far the art of parenting has fallen in this country when parents let the welfare of their children take a backseat to their fear of being called a nasty name like racist or homophobe.

Perhaps--but usually a considerable chasm opens between novel and screenplay.
Tom Wolfe's brave, anti-PC, Tribe-savvy Bonfire of the Vanities--arguably the best American novel of the 1980's--was unrecognizable in its screen version...

I have been told by people who read the books the films are very close to the books. I think Harry Potter books are harmless fuff for the most part, but I am very sure there are much better books one could find for one's children to read. I will also add there are many books that are plain evil and sick being pushed on children so Harry Potter does look like harmless fuff next to some of the stuff in print.

Yes, Faust, your instincts are spot on. It is escapist, mixed in with "the drama of a teenager growing up." I read them, my kids like them. On their own merit the books are both poorly edited and pretty harmless. Her writing style is loose, not impressive to my eye. I also discuss with my kids the morally and logically corrupt premise of Rowling's fantasy world.
The flawed premise that with the power the Wizards have, they hide rather than try to take over the mundane world.
The flawed premise that magic is by its nature benevolent.
The issue of "you don't have magic to solve your problems in real life. Don't waste time wishing you did."
You are also right that there are far better books than Rowling's for teen reading.

Actually, it would be hitting 1.000 (but who's counting?)

In what way would "Cho Chang" be better than "LaShawnna Jefferson" which I assume to be code for a Black woman. BTW, Jefferson is an interesting choice of name.
