Harry Potter as an 80's Dark Fantasy Film

[@directorans]

Harry being played my a mid-30s stubbly actor is a very 80s energy.

[@m.w.6817]

So that wasnt just an 80s dune thing, but an 80s thing in general?

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

@@m.w.6817 Yep. It even bled into the 90's and early 2000's where mid 20 year olds were still playing highschool students (Boy Meets World, Twilight, and all the Disney teen shows).

The first two Harry Potter films feel like dark fantasy disney christmas movies, and that’s why I like them more than the rest of the series.

[@passiondpete1624]

Probably a nostalgic thing

[@SonUzumakiIchigo]

Yea 2 first movies are more magic, 5-8 movies are too dark and too "muggle".

[@kendallbellors6102]

I know the first two harry potter. movies really do feel like dark fantasy Disney Christmas movies and are a major part of my childhood🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

[@theliato3809]

there is something of a notable different in the films aesthetic and capture of the scenes that set those two apart.

[@PeterPan54167]

@@SonUzumakiIchigo 1&2 have the same vibes as Home Alone or Hook, partly because people who worked on these films also worked on Potter like four years after wrapping with those. There’s a certain magic flavor to them that makes them cool, honestly I would have loved to see Prisoner of Azkaban done in that style, it would have been interesting to see how it would turn out given Azkaban’s darker tone, also The Jim Henson company were set to make the dementors as practical puppets.

[@jasonmarin8187]

I could actually see this as an 80's film. 👍🏻

[@TheElderScrollsFan88]

I like Draco in this one the most. He looks not as cartoonishly evil as he is portrayed in the books and partially in the movies. His character had so much potential, yet Rowling did not develop him in any significant way. Such a shame.

[@SonUzumakiIchigo]

You right

[@arir5390]

Cause he is a slytherin and she really acted like all slytherins were bad, the few that did redeem themselves ended up killed in horrible ways.

[@TheElderScrollsFan88]

@arir5390 yeah, an evil house. How interesting and believable.

[@at5297]

@@arir5390 It always bothered me that Hogwarts would have a house where like 99% of them are irreedemably evil and against the school's ideology. Why not just split those people off into their own school?

[@arir5390]

@@at5297 Or why not have these stereotypes about literal kids? Fred and George literally bullied 11 year old kids because they were place into 'the wrong house' and the school did nothing but then wonder why so many slytherins are evil...

[@MPES97]

This Bellatrix version is way more charming and beautiful than the original. She even looked like a princess. By the way the soundtrack here is from Harry Potter EA Game for PC (maybe the first or the third one, or both).

[@meowmew444]

tf Helena Bonham Carter is already charming and beautiful. She isn't meant to look like a princess, she's meant to look evil and insane.

[@yrooxrksvi7142]

She kinda looks like a mix of Keira Knightley and Winona Ryder. The music is from the first game, period. All versions (PC, PS1, PS2/XBOX/GC) were scored by Jeremy Soule.

[@Smartcookiezzz]

Agreed! The 80’s would have made her gaunt and more traditionally hag like with a screechy, screaming voice. Look at 80’s cartoons like Voltron or Thundercats and you’ll understand that horrible female villain sound that should be matched by the look.

[@Anna-dv5jy]

Original one is just as beautiful. You don't see it that way because HBC does an amazing job playing insane

[@Stoirelius]

The music is from all versions of the first game.

[@nitrokid]

In another universe, this could be a sword & sorcery film from 1984 😂 Harry the Potter teamed up with Ser Neville of Longbottom in a quest to defeat the evil sorceress Bellatrix and save the kingdom of Hogwarts.

Harry Potter as an 80's movie with 80's effect sounds awesome. I can easily see it looking somewhere between Krull and Willow.

Love how easily you can tell who is who even though they look noticeably different. But now that I keep seeing these show up in my recommendations I can't help but wonder why are almost all of them 1980s themed?

[@theliato3809]

80s had a good mix of effects and styles which holds up well.

[@Sly88Frye]

@@theliato3809 you sure about that? There's also a lot of effects back in the eighties that look like shit too. What you're saying can't be the reason though. Is whatever this AI art generator that they're using doing some promotion where everything is 80's themed?

[@tinag7506]

Probably because 80s aesthetic has that identifiable striking yet kitschy style

The Harry Potter films, especially the Colombus ones, already take so much from pre-CGI 80’s dark fantasy films so this is pretty fitting
