I've been seeing I lot of unwarranted hate for this event and it just started a couple of days ago. Now I'll admit I miss the lack of trick and treating, the green rivers and the cartable items stink However we've had some good content in this event. We're finally getting the House of Evil Shopkeeper and Angelica Button is brilliantly voiced with fun visual tasks. The monster battle animations are well done and you have the ability to buy a Magic Scratch-R with a jackpot of 2400 donuts! Not to mention we're only in act one and EA could have some good surprises on tap that they're hiding.

They have nothing else to do but complain about a free event. All I read is blah wa wa blah. NOBODY IS FORCING THEM TO PLAY. One would think with all the crap going on in the world they would direct their hate some place else.Wish we could have a subforum for complaints, that way the people who like the game wouldn't have to see all the negative complaint threads.

This is a good event. Why all the hate?

This event has slow pace, much like mini events, but I quite like it. It may not be exactly Halloween themed but an event is better than none. All the complaining around here is the biggest downer for me. Long live TSTO!

Back in the day blood sacrifice was what kept the world going, now it's complaining. Harry Potter splitting the finale didn't work well for me. The 3 kids standing still on the bridge staring into the camera at the end? What was that supposed to do, make me lose it or something? And if he tossed the resurrection stone before facing death, why was Harry able to resurrect? And if true love can save you from dark magic why was that married couple of good guys from the order of the phoenix unable to save themselves via love shielding?? Snape was good, his big character reveal sequence was the part that really shone.

This Potter event lacks the sense of importance and momentousness we see from the movies, and its not exactly crammed with specific wizarding content. .............I like it!

A little off-topic here, but since you asked about Harry Potter...

Spoiler

1. The book, as usual, was much better in relating the details of all of this.
2. The ending in the book was, IMO, much more satisfying than the movie.
3. The Resurrection Stone brought back the ghosts of loved ones (in Harry's case, his parents and Godfather), it had nothing to do with Harry not dying.
4. True love saved Harry when his mother gave her life to protect him. It was the act of giving everything willingly that gave the protection. Similarly, when Harry sacrifices himself willingly, without fighting back,to save everyone else, he imparts a measure of protection on them, which is, in part, why Voldemort's spells are less effective than they should be.

Well if you check LPNs general spoilers you do know some nice surprises await us.

However Angelica Button is just a British Lisa, so meh at best fromage. Would prefer a Canadian Milhouse.

We've had other special scratchers before as well, so that's not really a redeeming quality as much as an extra perk.

EA might surprise us yes, but frankly, I'd rather be dumbfounded. This year boasted some really good events from:
Destination Springfield
Secret Agents
Time Traveling Toaster
Homerpaloza
County Fair
So when this event came up, I believe many have been let down. Which is alright, my theory is this Xmas should be better, I'm guessing Grumple will make a return (maybe Penguins, wouldn't count on it), maybe Don Brodka(?) Probably not Just Stamp the Ticket Guy (but it doesn't hurt to add to the wish list), possibly a jab at the Pagan Winter event, etc.

Once again wishful thinking and very little to back it up, but if this event was tailor made for the content from the first episode, than chances are they'll play around with Xmas, just as they did when Maggie was released.

If you'll recall that was a bunch of seasonal content cobbled together to make an event (which worked) following a THoH event heavily based on an episode from that same season. In contrast to last year's THoH that was various random monsters from random episodes put together followed by a winter event that heavily borrowed from an episode later in that same season.

In conclusion:
#THoHTodayXmasDecorationsGoUpTomorrow

A very decent event, although I feel previous events this year did much better though.

Quite simply: it is easier to knock things down than to build them up.

I want him in game as much as the next guy (unless it's you, you're the highest in that area of fanatism). However unless the Xmas event involves Brodka and a mall, chances of JSTTG appearing will be substantially reduced.

If the Springfield Swap Meet is added once again, a high chance for him to appear, A Barney in a giant diaper skin? Once again a high chance for him to appear, but if none of those occur than we are looking at a #NotJustStampTheTicketGuyChristmasWinterHolidaysBringBackGrumpleXmasThisYearEvent

Trust me when I say that makes me a sad Californian Panda (also known as a raccoon).

You're a cool Dude/Dudette at times, don't know if it's the CA in ya.
But seriously you guys go through the whole trouble to make this event, but fail to bring back this character?
