Wizarding World - Hermione Patronus Otter Pop

[TheStephil]

The craziest part of this was I only read my first book in 7th grade. I bandwagon all movies. I felt like I needed more so I blasted thru all the books. How amazing reading a book after a movie only enhances the story. My friend was opposite she hated movies cuz books were so good.

Happy Potter is the only series I've been able to separate the books and movies and appreciate them for what they are. Normally I have a hard time enjoying the movie if I read the book first. Ready Player One is the perfect example.

Its rough.. I enjoyed Hunger Games less after reading books. Maybe the format should be ables go in blind if you haven't seen. It can never live up to your world. I wanted to start witcher but I havent read so I've been debating whether or not to start series.

I have an easier time enjoying them separately if I watch it first and then read the books. You know the idea of the story from the movie but get all the backup and extra detail while reading the book. It’s an added bonus if the story has a different ending in the book.

[HarryPOPter]

Same here!

Which one do you like more? Gotta be tonks for me since we don't have a pop of her yet

Tonks all the way!

Yes, I'm pretty excited for Tonks. I like how they captured her pink and purple hair too.

[HarryPOPter]

Yes, same with reading the books for the first time! What's insane is that I still remember my first time watching each movie. So I'm just glad I get to hold onto those memories.

Same here. It's actually kind of weird that I can separate the two too. I think it's partly because I'm such a huge fan, I don't like the idea of comparing the two since obviously they needed to cut down on some content and change things for the movies. Maybe it's also because they've had different directors for the films through the years that it's just nice to appreciate it for how it is.

[HarryPOPter]

Let's be honest...do we really need a reason??

Hahaha, you're right! What was I thinking

Obviously someone cast Confundus near you!

That's so interesting because it's easier to enjoy it the other way around for me. If I watch first, I get expectations and fixated on how those characters are portrayed that it makes it harder for me to come with them on my own in my mind while reading. But I really like your take on it and may see it that way for the future, especially if it's something I want to watch and also read.

Lol nicely done

Thank you! My charm work isn't always great, but re-reading the books for an upcoming HP bingo night is definitely helping!

[Katers]

I saw that Harry’s patronus was released at Barnes and Noble and cheaper too. I wonder if Hermoine and Ron’s will be released at B&N too. Am just scared to miss out on them.

I think they'll be easy enough to snag in store. And let's be honest, we all think they'll re-release in GITD versions at some point!

They should have been GITD from the start!

Agreed, but I think they're going to save them for big events, like SDCC and NYCC.

Goodness knows I had plenty of rage over the HP movies differing from the books! I actually got to a point in Prisoner of Azkaban where I scrounged scrap paper and a pen from my bag, and was writing down all the things they'd messed up. So there's definitely an argument to be made for watching the movie first, and then enjoying the richness of the book after!

Looming forward to hunting during SDCC season!

[StarWarsFunkoGirl]

Good question, I can't actually remember that many in the films.

Had to look it up...between the books & movies there are 22 know Patronus

You don't happen to still have that list, do you? I was strictly going with what was shown at the DA meeting in the 5th movie, and of course didn't bother listing the 3 we definitely already know about!

At least with shared exclusives, we will likely have a fighting chance for them!

Very much so, thank you!! A little horrified that Umbridge of all people managed to conjure a patronus. Can't imagine what it was making her happy!

[Yassiefay4]

Agreed, i wonder if there will ever be a GITD bloody baron. Cant be sure if theyll ever make the GITD patronus, wish they made it from the start...

Yeah, it would be a missed opportunity if they didn't make GITD patronus.

100% agree to all

Haha that is true!

So funny with the shareds...I've gone from "No, I don't need the con sticker" to "I NEED THE CON STICKER" to "Nah, I don't need the con sticker..." Always a journey with these guys!

Makes sense, but I stand by not wanting to know what her 'happy' was to conjure her patronus! That way lies nightmares for the normal people, I think!

I adored the books so much more after the movies. Its like the movie laid the ground rules, settings, and characters. After that the book just fills in all the voids the movie left out <3

But going from book to movies I can see why many were disappointed. I'm glad I didnt have that to take away from the movies

I totally agree.
My best friend is a huge Harry Potter movie fan but she has never read the books. She's reading them now and keeps sending me messages of excitement. It's so nice to see the love for HP books through someone else's eyes.

My friend that was a hardcore HP fan read the books when they came out. Everytime a movie came out she would talk about how she absolutely hated it. On all the details they left out and etc haha

Happy to have it, and frankly, ready to spend my extra $ on the next pop on the list, not throw the extra at a reseller who raised the price for the 'real' sticker!

Definitely perks to both sides. Movie then book leads to less disappointment, I would think, since yes it just fleshes out what you saw. But book to movie fills in any holes that the movie may have left. I was definitely always taught that you had to read the book before the movie. Which has lead to a lot of last minute reading!

That's so sad! It would drive me nuts, but I also knew that they couldn't cram everything in because of budget and time. As long as it made sense at the end of the movie, you just have to sit back and enjoy the story and special effects!

Yeah I always give them a pass. Like with Hunger games I read before I watched and I understood time is not on their side. I understand when movies split their last movies into two parts.

I'm seriously going to read HP again. I remember being stuck on it all day and only coming up for food haha

HP is the cause of the first and only true all-nighter I ever pulled!

In other news, saw the Harry & Hermione patronus pops at B&N tonight! Of course they still look amazing....even if I do like mine with their stickers! Seems a bit silly to call them a pre-release though if they come out as commons a mere 2 weeks later!

Sticker flex is always real. Even if they reglow it I might box swap

Oh really? Guess I need to add BN to my list of places to try this weekend. I’m still missing Hermione.

[Marquetry]

Is it bothering anyone else that the Harry Stag Patronus (at least the WW one) and the Hot Topic Buckbeak are both number 104?

I love these, and it's just a tiny thing... but was very apparent when rearranging a shelf today

Edit: The stag, not the otter... but still the same number!
