Despite Jason not wanting to watch the Harry Potter movies because "they are all the same," he can't deny that there is something special about this movie.

Harry Potter is clearly a huge and successful franchise, and we attempt to understand why it is so.

We go over our positives and favorite lines, talk about negatives, and find a lot of deep ideas to talk about. We go over the themes of fate, love, character archetypes, personality types, and explore character motivation and what philosophies they align with from Machiavelli to Sartre.

Have you read Walden by Henry David Thoreau?

What are your thoughts on the Harry Potter franchise? Do you like this first film of the franchise?
