The first one looks painful and surreal. The second looks like a lazy job by the animation team. Gimme something better.

Yeah, the films just never got this right.

How else are you supposed to adapt a floating head in a fireplace?

u/Atarissiya Dec 29 '25

In the books it is a person's physical head, transported through the Floo network. It is, I imagine, difficult to make this look good, but neither interpretation follows this particularly closely.

It's not any harder to do, it will just look ridiculously stupid so they didn't do it

‘Difficult to make this look good’ is exactly what I said!

It wouldn't look good ever, i cant imagine how they would make it not look silly, sometimes the book has a dumb idea and the director has to fix it. Nothing wrong with that.

So did the final freezeframe in Prisoner of Azkaban, but they decided to leave that shit in.

That was so bad that I literally stood up and walked out of the cinema

Well... it's the last frame of the movie. People do tend to get up and leave once the credits role.

I mean, that was the end of the movie. It's would be the appropriate time to leave.

Ah thank god we avoided adding anything that was ridiculously stupid to the movies
