Personally I found HP to be a massively over-rated pile of wank... like Avatar... Waaaay over-rated. Anyway, back to more Molly... Molly Molly Molly... Oh, Molly... You blonde cutie you!!!
Just wondering why I have to ride the volume control on all the Rocketboom vids? It always seems to be loud enough, but some vids, like this one, are so incredibly hot, you can here it was clipping when it was recorded, them post production is also so hot that I have to JUMP to turn the screaming volume down. After all these vids, and mostly great production values, can't Rocketboom figure out this small problem finally?
Wise words Molly - wise words. I like it how you manage to encapsulate what I hope we're all thinking in your vlogs. And how you don't dumb things down and you speak in an intelligent manner about not necessarily intellectual stuff.
I love those rocketbooms videos but why don't they pay more attention on sound, especially molly microphone? she has a cute and fitting voice, but it comes out distorted because of crappy hardware or false adjustment
Can we settle an important question? (JKR: yes) How do you pronounce your last name?
JK Rowling:
It is Row-ling. As in rolling pin. (mimics rolling action)
Stephen Fry:
So if any of you hear someone pronounce her name "Rohw-ling", you have my permission to hit them over the head with -- not with Order of the Phoenix, that would be cruel. Something smaller, like a fridge
Meh. They were low level books. I mean, that they're aimed towards children. The Lord of the Rings was a high level series, but I guess that's what made Harry Potter so popular.
going to tell the truth about Molly, this girl is the best Communicator ever on youtube, has the Super Communication Skill and is nice. it doesn't get better on YT. be happy that you have ever found her.
A good book doesn't have to be smart or a literary masterpiece, it's the story! It's how the story makes you imagine and picture the story in your head.
Harry Potter really is a phenomenal series. For me, Rowling matured as a writer and the books matured in their themes as I matured from an elementary school student to an adult. The plot and characters strike a chord with any reader with a heart, and the writing vastly improves from good to superb as the series went along. Definitely, without a doubt, a classic.
@haw45386 lol i also remember being read it in the library at school every week, but everytime we'd be read it we'd only get a few pages in and then we'd leave and often it would be a new person and she'd start over from the start.. never got past first chapter
@akidforever92 The 3:21 pursed lips smile moment is indeed lovely but if you freeze frame then you can really see just how small The Divine Moll's gob really is and hence understand her awful sufferings when two mighty wisdom teeth wanted to burst in and join an already overcrowded party. Sorted now though...Forwards Molly!
Hey Molly, you mispronounced Rowling - You might as well do this whole Rocketboom episode over, as it's really an unforgivable mistake to make, especially seing as you are English.
The earliest most derivative thing in Harry Potter is the lightning bolt on his forehead. If you read the Alien vs Predator series of books (published years before Harry Potter) the female herione has a lightning bolt carved in her forehead as a sign of respect. She was travelling with Predators who hunted Aliens and she did something brave and they took a drop of Alien blood and with the Predators claw etched a lightning bolt onto her forehead. They are good books.
I haven't heard much praise from adults but I guess I could push my daughter to read the series. On the other hand, there are great unknown fantasy classics out there that need to get discovered by the public. E.g. Gene Wolfe's The Book of the New Sun or Jack Vance Lyonesse are true (adult) classics that haven't had the renown they rightly deserve. For kids, I'd recommend all the Moomin books.
@Crissix100 That’s the standard line of defence Harry Potter fans use; “it’s all based on myth”.
I don’t remember the chapter in The Hero With A Thousand Faces concerning a remote rural British boarding school for children with magical powers, with an ancient wizzard headmaster and teachers with names like crap emo bands. Because all that stuff’s in The Worst Witch.
@neonatalpenguin If the "line of defense" is standard, doesn't mean it's wrong. But you're right, she definitely re-uses existing images and settings. In that sense one could rightly argue that her work is not entirely original. To me, though, the power in her books is in the characters, the plot, and the writing. Those are hers alone, they are in no way a product of luck, and they are very good.
@Karimsama Just because something appears in two places doesn't mean the later is a "ripoff" of the earlier. What I value about HP is the storytelling, the characters, the plot, all of which are fantastic. So what if she re-uses a few classic images, so what is she re-uses many? You're right, the bones of the story are recycled. It's always the same story, and we all know it, but it's the fleshing out that makes us want to hear it again. Hers was very original, and very good.
@Crissix100 Dude. The story Sux. You dont really know that until the end when JK screws up so bad it ruins all the other books. Look at the Villain! He kills himself TWICE! On the Beginning and on the end!
Have you ever read any of the stories she ripped off? Ok it has its value I know. Lots of kids started the healthy habit of reading by HP. And that is Awesome. But people tend to get stupid over things they are obsessed about. Like HP. It is just not that good. Deal with it.
@Karimsama lol "deal with it". I'm not obsessed at all, it's not my favourite book series, not even in my top three. I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree about the story. I'm definitely no stranger to fantasy literature and I found it fresh and engaging. I got a lot out of it symbolically and morally. My parents have three university degrees each (mom's is a PhD in English literature) and they both love the story. If you don't then that's totally fair, I guess it's just your loss.
@Karimsama Dude, bro, man, sux, you should take me seriously as a literary critic because of my incredibly vocabulary, wide-ranging syntax, and impeccable grammar. Right? Oh, wrong...
If you knew anything about literature, which I'm now under the assumption you don't, you'd know there are only about 5 or 6 possible plots that any story can follow. And archetypes? Yeah, they're actually the things that make stories memorable. The books are great, and they mature as the series progresses.
Comparing Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) to The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) is like comparing Apple to IBM. Or you highschool math teacher to Stephen Hawking if you will.
@gulllars As someone who labored through The Fellowship of the Ring, I heartily disagree that The Lord of the Rings is that great. The dialogue sections (mainly anything with Gandalf) are interesting; everything else - decidedly less so. Tolkien's strange devotion to describing every environmental detail to the nth degree is particularly vexing. It brings the narrative to a dead halt. I, at least, can't stand it, and I have no intention of reading on.
@Paltheos So you disliked the detail and effort Tolkien put into every aspect, that's what i liked about it. Also, he was a genious at constructing languages and fictional worlds. Rowling focuses too much on keeping the narative simple IMHO.
The analogy was apple makes fancy stuff that's easy and basic, while IBM goes all the way from transistors and scientiffic research to mainframes and datacentres.
The easiest way to remember how to pronounce 'Rowling' is that it rhymes with 'bowling'. She has said this herself in the past in an interview; I'm not just saying this because the spellings are similar.
FYI alot of the houses in edinburgh are tenement, even the modertley exspesive ones. SO the fact she lived in a tenement isn't the point it is the fact she lived in leith when it was still a shit hole (it better now.)
@ZAMIRMATAN Unless the video is fucking ENTITLED '' Harry '' fucking '' Potter ''. The argument is perfectly legitimate, you're just lacking in intelligence and therefore in a decent counter-argument. Don't even attempt a new response, you're not worth it.
A detailed fantasy world where you can really do anything would fascinate almost everyone and that's why I think that the key to the sucess of HP remains on the details of the Magical World.
The biggest flaw of the books are the fight scenes. they are really really bad. "oh look, i say 2 words and you're going to die and you'll not be able to block this because i'm very good with this shit"
i grew up with harry potter and graduated the same year the franchise officially ended...as pathetic as it may sound, some of my best memories involve harry potter.

Yeah, they're actually the things that make stories memorable. The books are great, and they mature as the series progresses.

Comparing Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling) to The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) is like comparing Apple to IBM. Or you highschool math teacher to Stephen Hawking if you will.

@gulllars As someone who labored through The Fellowship of the Ring, I heartily disagree that The Lord of the Rings is that great. The dialogue sections (mainly anything with Gandalf) are interesting; everything else - decidedly less so. Tolkien's strange devotion to describing every environmental detail to the nth degree is particularly vexing. It brings the narrative to a dead halt. I, at least, can't stand it, and I have no intention of reading on.

@Paltheos So you disliked the detail and effort Tolkien put into every aspect, that's what i liked about it. Also, he was a genious at constructing languages and fictional worlds. Rowling focuses too much on keeping the narative simple IMHO.
The analogy was apple makes fancy stuff that's easy and basic, while IBM goes all the way from transistors and scientiffic research to mainframes and datacentres.

The easiest way to remember how to pronounce 'Rowling' is that it rhymes with 'bowling'. She has said this herself in the past in an interview; I'm not just saying this because the spellings are similar.

FYI alot of the houses in edinburgh are tenement, even the modertley exspesive ones. SO the fact she lived in a tenement isn't the point it is the fact she lived in leith when it was still a shit hole (it better now.)

@ZAMIRMATAN Unless the video is fucking ENTITLED '' Harry '' fucking '' Potter ''. The argument is perfectly legitimate, you're just lacking in intelligence and therefore in a decent counter-argument. Don't even attempt a new response, you're not worth it.

A detailed fantasy world where you can really do anything would fascinate almost everyone and that's why I think that the key to the sucess of HP remains on the details of the Magical World.
The biggest flaw of the books are the fight scenes. they are really really bad. "oh look, i say 2 words and you're going to die and you'll not be able to block this because i'm very good with this shit"
