#A XMAS SNOW MOVIE MOVIE#
If one is to truly commit to a Harry Potter Christmas movie marathon, there should be no question about that movie firmly belonging in the Christmas canon, and by our established standards, fans of the boy wizard and his school days may be shocked to find that only three of eight Harry Potter movies make the cut. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban literally melts through the winter season with no mention of Santa or gifts, and an elf gets stabbed to death and dies in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1. And, to possibly start another argument: Not all of the Harry Potter movies are.ĭespite what the stans (a group to which, I’ll admit, I am a card-carrying member) would try and convince you, every return to Hogwarts doesn’t elicit the same holiday goodwill. Thus, to end a popular argument, Die Hardisn’t a Christmas Movie.
In essence, a perfect Christmas movie should include (whether literally or metaphorically) at least two of the three aspects defined in the seminal classic I’ll be home for Christmas: snow, mistletoe, and presents under the tree. To qualify as a good Christmas movie, the film in question should be clear in its tropes that the rest of the year sucks and life is complicated, but on Christmas - so long as the powers of love, generosity, and a little bit of snow are on your side - anything is possible.
As we deck our halls and decorate our trees, however, there is perhaps no better way to embrace the holiday spirit than by indulging in the amuse-bouche of the Christmas season: A Harry Potter movie marathon.īefore we begin, a few parameters. Yes, it’s the time of year when even the most fantastical of ideas seem possible, if only we’re good enough to wish for them. Days are getting shorter, lights are starting to twinkle, and the good cheer is so abundant it’s almost enough to blunt the wounds in our depleting pockets.
