The intriguing plot holes of the first book and movie in the Harry Potter series implies that the mysterious Albus Dumbledore may not be as nice as he seems. Dumbledore is masterfully portrayed by Richard Harris and Michael Gambon, and they communicate the complexity of Dumbledore’s psychology, which helps make the intrigue behind the plot holes incredibly real. Based on JK Rowling’s book series, the Harry Potter Kino created an Albus Dumbledore who was simultaneously enigmatic, clever and threatening. In both books and movies, this great character often moved me to awe and anger. I always knew that Albus Dumbledore…

The Lord of the Rings is full of heroic characters, and Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings Movies succeed in recreating some of them – but they don’t do justice to Faramir.

JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings Novel was known for its huge scope and wide range of characters, which Peter Jackson’s Return of the King Movie partially adapted, but it left some key elements. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King was the third Warner Bros. picture in his Lord of the Rings trilogy, preceded by The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring And The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Jackson’s approach to the LotR trilogy made a strong impression on viewers, but it was at the expense of some of…
The Harry Potter TV shows have the opportunity to crystallize the character of Draco Malfoy, and take the implications of the books and movies to their logical conclusion. There are many characters that deserve a thorough examination in the show, especially since the adaptation has the breathing space of multiple seasons to tell JK Rowling’s epic, sprawling story. On the contrary, the Harry Potter Movies had to condense Rowling’s books into eight feature-length pictures, which meant neutering some strong character arcs. Draco’s story could have been improved, making the show a key opportunity. The Harry Potter The franchise is being…
Luna Lovegood is an iconic character in Harry PotterHowever you Deathly Hallows Storyline should be given to someone else. Luna’s importance in the Harry Potter Movies and books cannot be overstated.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power has filled in the technical details of his orc origin story, and there’s a strange poetry to it. Those who categorically do not like the title of the show have no reason to like this one more than the other, but those who can stretch to a wild ride in mogul magic may find some thematic resonance here. Adar was one of Rings of power Most mysterious original characters, perhaps subject to some inconsistent characterization. Or, perhaps he is simply inconsistent, as might be expected from one tortured by Morgoth. With…
Dungeons & Dragons Put forward one of his best heroes of all time in the dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, and Drizzt has many high fantasy fights to prove it.
