Harry is a rich kid who grows up to be a cop, his track of rejection makes sense

This whole Hermonie thing feels like the new Rei vs Asuka. People are going to get worked up over this for the next 40 years for no reason.

I genuinely think the author just put those two together because they knew everyone was expecting Harr-mione to happen. Tried to subvert expectations.

I mean, she was very reactionary with her writing book to book.

IIRC, she said it was wish fulfillment on her part, with Hermione standing in for JKR and Ron being like someone JKR liked when she was younger.

Harry Potter connoisseurs bragging around a greentext. Typical beta move.

Harry potter doesn’t really fit into the chosen one archetype any more than anyone else. The only person that “chose” him is his mom, which makes him equally special to almost every other person on the planet.

Anyway, fuck jk rowling

Honestly it’s kinda fucked that in the HP universe, apparently no other mother than Lily loved their child enough to sacrifice themselves and use this love protection magic on them.

It’s a shame, seems like it would have been super easy to handwave, but they never do.

Voldemore’s soul was uniquely shattered and was apparently freshly injured to make another horcrux after murdering Harry’s family, the cruelty he showed in giving her multiple outs to abandon her son, most likely to kill her anyway.

Holy/white magic is such a cool element in a magic system, especially with how undercooked HP’s is. “This wizard was particularly fucked and unknowingly was the perfect catalyst for white magic to spontaneously manifest to correct”

Like, there was food on the table, and she has wizards shitting themselves despite the castle having bathrooms.

I haven’t said it today, so: fuck JKR for being a transphobic asshole.

Sword of Truth series has some very cool ancient white magic in the world that you get to see.

A few books in it goes balls deep into libertarianism and becomes unreadable but it’s fun while it lasts lol.

Trelawney made a prophecy and Voldemort decided Harry fit the bill, although Neville also met the criteria. Voldemort went to the Potter house to kill Harry, end his biggest rival before he could grow up, and create a horcrux from the murder of his enemy. Voldemort chose Harry.

Also these books are so fucking racist. “Cho chang”. We should stop talking about them.

So much writing has been done about how Cho Chang is a perfectly reasonable name that I don’t even understand how it’s still out there. It’s amazing how disinformation Never Dies.

It would have been funny af to watch Neville Longbottom as the main character of the series and the marketing hype train having to tiptoe the last name. I know Harry Potter as a name sounds better but imagine everyone dressing up as Neville for Halloween
