The Snowman A Classic Children's Book

Raymond Briggs

Illus. in full color. A wordless story. The pictures have "the hazy softness of air in snow. A little boy rushes out into the wintry day to build a snowman, which comes alive in his dreams that night. The experience is one that neither he nor young 'readers' will ever regret or forget."--(starred)

I'm a Nesbo head from back in the day You've read all the Harry Hole books Are you kidding? We call it having been made whole Is he the Norwegian We call it a hole-in-one Is he the Norwegian Jack Reacher? Yes he is

But the character's name is Smooth Hole Like the character's name is pronounced like Hole Like it's not

That's a real problem Right but now this movie is based on a book A very famous series of books That we may have talked about before

It's so they Americanized it to call him Harry Or like the simplest choice Because once you say it once on set you'd be like oh You know what That doesn't sound right at all Let's play with this And that's where the laziness started with this movie

It was pounded in the press. The main character is Harry Hole.
