Why is it important that he asked calmly? Why not just write "he asked"?
>>221314130To show that Dumbledore was calm about the matter and not losing his shit like everyone else.
>>221314164in the move he lost his cool though so the book is full of poop, possibly full of shit and feces too
>>221314177Did you know they used to use magic to make their shit disappearThey'd just shit on the floor and magic it away.
>>221314202Is this was indians are trying and failing to do every single time they go to the bathroom?
>>221314216>Is this was indiansgood morning sir
>>221314130Dumbledore’s personality in the book is WILDLY different in the books than in the movies where Michael Gambon plays him. Richard Harris’s Dumbledore was much closer.

>>221314130if it wasnt for all the adverbs and adjectives to fluff it out the whole saga would be 2 paragraphs.
>>221314130There's no special intent in it. It's just that dumb writers rely on adverbs a little too much.
>>221314130It served to re-establish several important parts of Dumbledore's character.First, he is not an overemotional person, nor is he given to panic. He is calm during a crisis. Changing the scene like the movie does makes him seem over emotional.Second, he is a fair and fatherly figure for the children beneath his care, concerned for their wellbeing but willing to afford them the chance to admit to their mistakes and explain themselves, rather than overreacting. The movie, on the other hand, makes him seem unfair and harsh.Third, being the kind he is, he likely suspected Harry would be drawn into the tournament in some way or another because Riddle coveted it, and because Harry is linked to Riddle, literally having a piece of the dude's soul in him. So the subtext of this scene, on reread/rewatch, should be that Dumbledore is trying to determine if the piece of Riddle's soul within Harry was able to influence Harry's thoughts and actions, or if something else is going on. In either case, he doesn't want to alert his enemies to his suspicions, because working against them will be easier if they believe him to be oblivious to their plots, whatever those might be. The movie's version, however, immediately draws attention and flags this as something that has come to Dumbledore's attention rather than slipped beneath it, and thus costs him the element of surprise.
>>221314258>>221314304What's wrong with that?It effectively communicates his manner without wasting an entire sentence on his expression and/or tone.Would you rather a scene where none of the character's emotional states are described at all?
>>221314335the ability to be succinct is a sign of high intelligence
>>221314360>It effectively communicatesJust say "it communicates", it means the same thing
>>221314394Answer the question, if you actually have an answer.
>>221314164Yeah. I think it was important to describe that Dumbledore calmed down after he pieced Harry up with that nasty six punch combo
>>221314393Wow twitter must be full of geniuses then. You should go back there, be among your own kind.
>>221314177Are you that one guy who argued on the official wiki that Veela didn't exist in the canon because they're not in the movies, only the books?

>>221314467So you don't have a response and you're just mindlessly repeating 'adverbs bad' because you heard someone else say it? Fantastic to know, thanks for your contributions. Next time try forming your own opinions instead of regurgitating those of others.
>PASS THE TREACLE TART MINERVA!He bellowed calmly.
>>221314247It's a pity, because Gambon's personality is pretty close to Dumbledore, which is clearly why he was cast. I'll never figure out why he decided to play him as an angry old man.
>>221314394Kek. Rekt.
>>221314467I bet you unironically posted brevity is the soul of wit until someone pointed out the context
>>221314512more reddit tier whining, just go post on r/movies
>>221314130>why do adjectives have meaningJackass
>>221314247This. I could see Michael Gambon feeling that the situation required a more spirited reaction, but he fundamentally misunderstood the reserved, wise, and restrained nature of the original character. He was such a hard turn from the understated elegance of Richard Harris. He kind of seemed a little too sassy for the role. I doubt Lithgow will be much better.
>>221314304You're a dumb gay hysterical faggalo
>>221314623you really are an insufferable faggot aren't you, you said understated elegance lmao
>>221314247Correction - Gambon only was that weird in Goblet. In Prisoner he was okay. In Order he was okay. In Prince he was a good book Dumbledore.
>>221314738Okay nerd. I've never seen the movies
>>221314130lol
>>221314130It demonstrates how Dumbledore is always in control.He already knew that Harry hadn't put his name in.
