A woman embarking on her yearly ritual of watching the Harry Potter series has revealed that she only really likes watching the first few movies, because the rest of the movies are ‘too dark and emo’ for her fragile mental health.
Speaking to our reporter, Angelica Riley, 31, Hufflepuff, admits that she usually watches the fantasy series when she’s trying to get her way through a comedown, as there’s nothing more comforting than rewatching childhood movies when your brain is severely starved of serotonin.
But as an anxious girlie who doom scrolls too often, Angelica admits she really only wants to watch nice things on the telly now – which is why she hasn’t gotten past The Goblet of Fire, for years.
“Obviously, all the movies have sinister tones and you know, violence and death”, Angelica says, with a shrug, “but the first two really captured that sense of whimsy. With the nice Dumbledore!”
“I really like Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire as well, but it really starts to get super dark after Cedric Diggory dies.”
“That’s usually when I opt out.”
Angelica admits she also quite likes watching the first Twilight movie only, because the rest of the movies never quite caught the campy vibe of the first one.
“They should have kept the blue filter.”
More to come.
