This feature was primarily built by GitHub Copilot Agent Mode, which is a properly awesome feature 😄 I’ve been giving it a go since I got access to it through work, and I’ve been extremely impressed thus far. It has limits, but its *really* powerful.

(8/8) I think that’s about it for now! I’ll probably keep posting more thoughts over the coming days, this definitely doesn’t encompass everything.

Overall- loved it, hyped for the reboot series.

(7/8) Similarly, there are some writing and plot pieces that I think the series can improve upon given the benefit of hindsight, both from a continuity and writing quality perspective. The pretty weak twists at the end of the first two movies (with very little leading clues) comes to mind.

(6/8) Second - the movies were made before the books were finished, and it shows in some places. Ginny is largely cut from the movies until she becomes a love interest, seemingly because the writers didn’t realise how important she’d be down the track when writing the first few movies.

(5/8) Firstly, these movies need more time. The final two show how good they can really be if you give them time to sit and explore the themes well, and given the size of the books that’s just not palatable in cinematic form. A series where each book is a season seems perfect for this.

(4/8) The spells definitely get better as the movies go on, though.

Ok, let’s talk about the upcoming reboot series. I know a lot of people are not happy about this, but I for one am pretty excited. My next few notes will hopefully explain why.

(3/8)… which was definitely good to get rid of by movie 3.

I find the spells a bit funny, but I think that’s because I didn’t literally grow up with them. “Wingardium leviosa” being the name of the levitation spell is a prime example for me. It’s just kinda Latin-ified English 🤣

(2/8) The cast is stellar, and watching them literally grow up over the course of the movies is awesome.

Movie 3 was incredible, and the time travel twist was just 💯chefs kiss. The first two movies suffered from a bit of “it’s me the villain, now that you’re here it’s time to explain my plan!”…

Dolby Atmos on Apple Music has also come a really long way since I first tried in in 2021, in no small part because of how many artists are now mastering music for it. It’s not perfect, but boy it’s hard to go back.

if it was then they've become pretty lax about it
