Harry Potter in The Maddest of All
a Danielle Radcliffe clone dressed up in a Wizard's Hat? Really? I loved Mark Williams as Arthur Weasley as well as the next person, but this was badly done.
shareOh lighten up,I thought it was a fun little bit:)
shareIt could have been fun, had they had fun with it. Like incorporating a few more oblique Harry Potter references, or inside jokes. Maybe Father Brown saying to the boy: "You remind me of someone..." but as it was, they acted like they were hoping no one would notice. That's why I say it was badly done.
shareYou don't understand dry humor, or perhaps subtlety. That doesn't mean they did it poorly, it just means you don't have that sense of humor. Lots of other people, thought that it was just the right amount of a wink to the Potter films. Incorporating more (like your suggestion, which would have been heavy-handed at best) would have taken the viewers out of the Father Brown story too much. This isn't a sitcom.
