Who is Daphne Greengrass and why I keep seeing her everywhere? I thought she was an actual minor character but her name only appears once in the whole hp series, so how this character got in so many fics as a proper character? She is even shipped with Harry sometimes, which is so weird to me, with so many girls Harry could be with he gets shipped with a character that exists in name only. What gives?

Post your predictions for the upcoming game regarding the game it self, audience or others

>An attempt of boycotting the game will arise. However, it will be disregarded by the masses in favour of entertainment and nostalgia.

i honestly believe the game is gonna be a buggy mess, with a bigger audience of gamers than fans of the series, and it will flop when people realise its no good. maybe im just biased bc from what i saw in the trailers it really looks like a soulless big budget game which is trying to shoehorn in as many features as its able to

Every normie my age and older still enjoys Harry Potter and got all their kids into it. They don't care about any drama over JK Rowling and probably never even heard about it. There will be a boycott from terminally online retards but it can't defeat the unyielding admiration normies still have for HP. Hell, I haven't been into HP in years and I'm 100% playing this game. I do agree with the other anon there will be plenty of day 1 bugs like any other AAA game and people might use that against it to say it's bad kek

Here are my predictions:
Maybe I'm biased because I follow a bunch of woke game journalists, but I think initially there is going to be some boycotting by journalists. They're going to write "why we're not playing/covering hogwarts legacy" and then when they realize the traction it gets they'll switch to "we played it so you don't have to, JKR is a terf so this game is bad" articles. The lesser woke ones will pander by making proper game articles but still include a little "JKR is terf" section so wokies won't call them out (they will anyway).
I think it will do nothing but backfire on them and make more people get curious and interested in this "dark, edgy, forbidden game" kek Hopefully a few people will look up what JKR actually said and realize she has been very reasonable all along.

I also think some streamers will be scared of streaming it and ones that do will get called out for promoting transphobia since terminally online gamer autists are a large part of the trans community.

But still, the overwhelming majority of people will love and hype up the game and places like twitter and reddit will have an outcry of sad troons who are crying over their friends being terfs for playing the game, and how seeing the game triggers their dysphoria.

>They don't care about any drama over JK Rowling and probably never even heard about it.
For anyone who has friends like this, tell them about it. Otherwise they'll eventually just get the propaganda version from a troon. Tell them the truth of how all she said was "we still need to recognize that women and girls face sex based oppression while we can still support trans people" and that was it. That has made trans people hate her more than they hate hitler, and they send her death and rape threats on the daily. For standing up for women. It's a literal witch hunt.

No. 263126

>>262999
Totally agree with all of this.
There is no way this boycotting will be successful, talking about it won't do them any good but give the game free advertisement, and most of it will be pretty much preaching to the coir; and not talking will have no effect either as hp is still very popular despite what the TRAs like to claim. No winning here, I guess they really shoot themselves in the foot when they made an enemy of jkr.

No. 263201

>>262644
I think a lot of casual supporters of the trans ideology who parrot all the virtue signalling like "JKR is a terf" will eventually succumb and buy the game by justifying it with "well JKR wasn't actually involved with the game…"

I have a lot of TRA mutuals on my fandom/art accounts but I follow enough people on social media that so far I've been able to pretend not to see those posts by them without a problem. I plan to make some innocent HP related posts when the game comes out and to play dumb if anyone tries to call me out. I plan to use the same "JKR wasn't even involved" excuse and if they push it they will have to present me with evidence, which I know doesn't exist so good luck kek

nonnies, can you recommend any good, long gen fics? i'm specifically NOT looking for "all the marauders and snape are gay" fics, and more like "what if" scenarios that someone took the time to explore. like "what if harry had grown up among wizards" or stuff like that. i remember back when i was a teenager people actually took years to rewrite the entire series to show how harry being a girl would change the entire story, or something like that.

basically fics that aren't horny fujo material.

Oh I'd love the trio being girls too but I bet there aren't many fics like this that don't end up with weird ships or trans stuff. I saw one fic the other day that turned Hermione into a tif and it was so insulting, and I vaguely remember a fic where Ron was a tim and that made me give up looking into it. Would Ginny even been born if Ron was a girl? I guess the writers could go with the unplanned pregnancy route if they really feel like having her there. I personally would just choose someone else to get the diary, f!Ron seems like an obvious choice.

"It was the year 1998 and Wizarding Britain was finally starting to heal from the wounds of the Second Wizarding War. 18-year-old Auror trainee Harry Potter was leading his first field operation when he was struck by a Killing Curse that led to an encounter with Death, who then revealed to Harry that he could turn back time and remedy his deepest regrets…

Unbeknownst to Harry, Dark wizarding activities were erupting across Britain and threatening to destroy the fragile society once and for all. But who was the enemy? What were they trying to accomplish? Was it too late to stop them?

Perhaps all the answers lie where Harry was headed…

This is a journey of family, of friendship, of self-discovery, and, as always with Harry Potter, a healthy dose of world-saving."

Yes, that was part of what got me thinking the stairs might eject peter as soon as he tries to go up, but then what if ron carries him up there? I think it would be funny if girl ron just slide off with him and she has no idea why, but then again, just carrying him up might work? I guess peter would be able to get into the girls dorms if the house elves apparate him there along with the rest of the students stuff but he probably wouldn't be able to go back if he goes down. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem before the third year? Ron did say in the books that scabbers pratically just eat and sleep.

What is your favourite or most memorable crossover fanfic that you read? I only managed to find one of the fics that stood out which surprised me honestly. I think that authors from when the books were still being published have deleted their work or are on another site that is not fanfiction.net, I'll try to find them to make sure

>To The Wind

Reincarnated!Ron. Ron lives. He dies. And somehow, he lives again. Only it's not him this time, it's not the Wizarding World, it's not magic, and he wishes things weren't this complicated.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9249261/1/To-the-Wind
While abandoned I find it does give a somewhat satisfying regarding Ron displacement and I like how he had to figure things out like the naming convention, culture and a bit of himself. I remember waiting for it to be updated or for the rewrite, but I quite like how it is and it is one of my favourites. Will admit that at the time I never even heard about Naruto. However after reading the manga up to a certain point I went back and still liked it very much

The crossover with the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, mistaken for Barty Crouch Jr. and another fic that crossovers with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Faith and Ron go back in time to stop an Apocalypse from happening, not on fanfiction.net, I don't really remember what site it was on.
Ended up sadly with only one fanfic recommendation in the end. However these are what stood out to me through the years and I hope that the rest of them haven't deleted their works. Please share with me, your favourite even obscure ones are welcome.

No. 268809

>>268737
I haven't read many crossovers so I don't have any recs, I read some hp/doctor who, because that's a crossover I'm really interested in, but they were confusing multi fandom stuff or the type of stuff that hardly explores doctor who setting and magic together (might be just ao3 though, ff.net is hard to navigate so I haven't done any big search), and I'd like to see these two stories actually mixing up and not just the Doctor making everyone's life magically better because time travel, come on, it's the Doctor, not Mary Poppings! That guy is expert in endangering his companions, not fixing their lives, that's the fun of it. I wish there were interesting long hp/doctor who fics. I wonder how come Doctor and the marauders stuff aren't more popular when marauders era seem to be a popular setting for time travel fics, and they seem perfect for long fics because characters like James and Lily just don't have enough characterization, and I'd love to see them and the other marauders explored without the heavy focus on shipping most stories go about. There is so much in these two stories that you could do anything with it, and I think the most interesting thing of doctor who are the villains, so I'd love to see a story that uses them. I'm honestly tired of the many ways time travelling hp characters could end Voldemort, would be nice to see them expelliarmusing some Cybermen or something.

Sort of, but not really. When troons use it it's to insult and discredit women the same way they used femnazi. But terfs aren't mainstream the way a regular "angry feminist" is/was. My older colleagues still don't know what a terf is and when I explain it they think it's silly and dismiss it, but they know exactly what someone means when they talk about an "angry feminist" and assume it's an unjustified screeching man-hating woman who wants all men to die. That's what I meant, I haven't seen any normies who think JKR is the stereotypical "angry feminist" who wants all men to die.

>>270892
>what do you do when hp and jkr come up in conversation and they start reeeing?
I ignore everything they say and don't engage at all with anything jkr/HP related. I literally act as if I haven't seen any of it ever. If it comes up in more direct ways I play dumb and innocently change the subject. If they say "jkr is a terf" I'm just like "huh I don't really keep up with online drama and celebrities at all, oh by the way have you seen this Other Thing (some cherry picked mutual interest, so I know they'll take the bait) what do you think of it?? Isn't This Thing cool??".

If they're still reeeing I ignore it and go on about the topic I brought up. I try to give them 0 satisfaction for bringing it up, they only parrot these things for social points so if it doesn't go according to their subconscious plan (i say thing, you agree, now you say same thing, and i agree = social bonding, i did good) it doesn't give them "i did the socially right thing"-dopamine and they'll stop bringing it up.

If needed I plan to use the excuse: "negative topics like that are really triggering for me right now so can we pretty please talk about something else". If REALLY pressed on something like "twaw right? you agree RIGHT??" I again keep it as short as possible and then change the subject like "yeah of course, anyway Other Thing…" just so they drop it and lower their guard.

I can play these people all day, they're all brainwashed and use the same tactics and arguments without thinking for themselves when it comes to troon topics kek

All rooms have their own charm, but I'm most interested in slytherin. We've already seen so much of gryffindor, hufflepuff seems homely, ravenclaw too seems like a home with a library… slytherin seems more mysterious, like horrors or wonders could be lurking around the corner. And if anyone cursed a goblin to haunt inside the walls it would be a slytherin kek

Have you guys noticed the attitude shifted a bit? TRAs used to say you're not allowed to play or promote the game, or to read or promote the books or movies at all because doing so is supporting terf queen JKR (which should be punishable with death!).

Now I see a lot of them instead trying to distance HP things from JKR, such as them saying the movies were made by other people and not her so it's ok to watch them, and covering/removing her name from the book covers while still keeping the books. It's like they noticed normal people have no interest in cancelling HP for some unspecified reason for trans people, so they pretend that people still care about trans rights by saying consuming HP is fine as long as you still agree JKR is evil.

Oh yeah. I see it in groups that have normies mixed with gendies and it's mostly the gendies and handmaidens doing this to justify their contributions to fandom or why they're still consuming HP stuff without feeling guilty. I think thats dumb. You either stop consuming something by the author you disagree with entirely or you aknowledge their work is theirs. To me this is very hypocritical to keep consuming something by an author you don't want give money to when even producing art or fanfiction is a way to keep their legacy alive, so it makes no sense to me these people keep creating stuff while claiming the author won't get anything out of it and their legacy is dead. Would be better if they had the spine to just stop consuming anything by JKR and stand by their choices and beliefs.
It's not even that hard, JKR is one of the most famous authors but there are lots of other childrens books. The TRAs could easily start promoting other childrens book authors with the large platform they have, but you only see them using it to try dragging JKR or silencing and persecuting other women for wrongthink or to promote harmful shit to kids. None of the books they try promoting come close to HP, because it is always trans shit with pedo messages.
It's funny they think they will be on the "right side of history" while acting like freaking Umbridge or Voldy. Can't wait for the day this all will come crashing down on them.

Also a bit ot but the group I'm in always have someone saying shit about JKR, sometimes they don't even refer to her by name, still they all love Lovecraft's work. I read some of it and was so uncomfortable by the amount of racist shit in his stories that I couldn't read anymore. I find extremely weird these people have the gall to talk about Harry Potter being racist while expressing no problem with Lovecraft's stories, which I always see people talking about but rarely goes into debate about the shitty stuff unlike Harry Potter. People also comment on another author (don't remember his name but I think his book got 1 movie and it's about war and some ant like aliens? I only watched the movie but can't recall the name or much of it) And these same people are always so respectful about this author and the way they talk about his work while still aknowledging he is problematic because of his views. It just makes me feel like I'm going insane, these different expectations for female authors, how people can easily ignore the shit like racism that is in stories of the types of Lovecraft but whoa, a woman dared call her asian character Cho Chang and defend women's rights. Makes me want to cry of frustration.

Oh and I forgot to add, a very close friend of mine won't stop calling JKR an asshole and a transphobe while also being a huge Nicki Minaj fangirl. She had no clue what Jews were until very recently because of where she's from and was saying just a few years ago similar thing to what Whoppi Goldberg said not that long ago, and just a few months ago she told me in private that JKR is antisemitic because of the goblins. Another very close friend of ours is Jewish and in a very separate conversation she said that JKR is problematic but you'd have to be stupid or paranoid to call her an antisemite, also in private. I wonder how a conversation between these two would go kek. The first friend was also giving us side eyes when we planned a trip to go to that HP movie set place you can visit for a few hours but I don't give a fuck. I pretend I don't know and don't care.

It always comes down to women doing all the work, lmao. You never see a TIM promoting anything that isn't their own work, God forbid they think of other people.
I wonder what they mean by "more mature"? I keep seeing people saying the same stuff, but HP have themes that might go flying straight over the kids heads if they're too young to understand, because it simply isn't too on the nose the way TRAs like. You see that a lot in fanfics, they always write preachy shit and there is no nuance at all. It's like we regressed to that childish belief that if an author writes about a "problematic" society and these problems are not solved as soon as they're brought to light, then it means the author endorse these things. Drives me nuts!

Ramblings about fanfics and prechy authors:
The other day I read a fic where Lupin helps Lily bring awareness to the whole menstruation thing and honestly, I can't really remember how they did that because as I read that shit all I could think is "why the hell a boy in the 70s would care about something won't ever affect him" (and a spineless boy like Lupin, no less!) and kinda blocked most of it but I knew as soon menstruation was brought up that the author would be using THAT phrase.. yes we are talking about "people who menstruate". Just imagine hating women that much that you're proud of it. and don't get me started on the oc that appears in the first chapters, who is obviously a woman but calls herself something stupid and later when she gets out of Hogwarts she is able to live her truth… as a feminine, stupidly named, woman. Can't imagine having actual problems as a woman in the 70s
Another story which I already knew it was going to be a trainwreck but read it anyway because curiosity got the best of me was one where the author made Snape some sort of black haired Draco Malfoy and completely disregarded his backstory so they could justify James bullying him instead of giving James an actual personality to make us care for him despite him being a dumb bully. It is easier to just have James be a perfect person and Snape be the designated bad guy than addressing stuff, typical "this character is bad, so he deserves it, thus this is not a bad thing". It is all black and white. There is no grey, no flaws, and no chance for these characters to grow, and this, funnily enough, makes these stories come across as very immature, like a teen wanting to change the world but not really dealing with actual hardships, the consequences and results of change, and growing up and realizing people are more complicated than being just good or evil, which even Harry Potter himself came to realize.
I think the irony about that last story was that the author wanted to make a commentary on classism and poverty that she felt JKR was unable to do, all while ignoring the actual canon poor character and making him a Draco clone. (And fucking tagging it as canon compliant!)
Sorry about this wall of text about fics but I get so frustrated wih this fandom completely disregarding the characters backstories and stuff from canon and then claiming they are exploring "themes JKR was too much of a coward to explore"!!!! Like, dude have you read the fucking books. Why do they need more mature if they can't grasp half of the messages HP is trying to convey…

Incredible dumb question but could someone spoonfeed me on why this is offensive like if I were to check any fantasy novel there is always something by someone's standard offensive, racist, sexist and more, like the book series after GRRM but people just gobble that up without any problem. Is it because of the setting of the Harry Potter books is in the 20 century "modern age" and not in the year of our bumfuck lord of the greatest invention the wheel.
I remember faintly of the Harry Potter discourse on tumblr but that I think was before everyone hated the problematic JK for not supporting trannies.

Yes, you are correct. Fantasy races (goblins, dwarves, etc), discrimination, slavery, and sexism are known tropes of the fantasy genre that many authors, old and new, still implement in their stories today. Some definitely worse than others and some not. I'm reading a popular fantasy series now that features slavery of both humans and a made up race and no one is offended by it in discussions ever. In fact, no one says any of this stuff is offensive in other books (YA community aside). So why does JKR get shit for it? Even back before she was labeled trannyphobic and hated for wrong think? I always saw discourse pop up on my dashboard about those things and I didn't even use tumblr for HP fandom or social justice. I remember seeing some Asian girl's slam poetry about being offended over the name Cho Chang. The argument is that it's two last names from two different cultures. I remember posts of people saying it's bad that the dwarves didn't want to be freed. Also that Hermione was white savior-ing them. The goblins as Jewish caricatures take might be a more recent thing as white nationalists online started to hit major news and freak people out? Not sure, but the rest was all before idiots crowned her as the new Hitler so the discourse was never flat out attacks on her as a person like it is today. Just braindead takes. But also many people standing up against these braindead takes, which now gets you labeled as a terf, dogpiled, and excommunicated so no one wants to stand up anymore. I think all the nitpicking is because Harry Potter might be the only book series these people read that wasn't homework/required reading so that's their only point of reference. And because she's a female author and women are always over-criticized for any creative work they put out in the world.

It isn't actually offensive, but that tumblr era was OBSESSED with calling out people to cancel them, especially celebrities. Before this era of trans being the single topic sjw cares about it was a little bit more broad. There were entire blogs dedicated to listing every teeny tiny little wrongdoing every famous/semi-famous person had done. They wore makeup slightly too dark for their skin? Blackface. Wore fake fur? Supporting animal cruelty by making fur seem glam. Cosplaying anime characters who don't even have their race stated? Racist yellowface.
Not a single one of those are exaggerations, I saw all of that happen.

>>273905
>I remember seeing some Asian girl's slam poetry about being offended over the name Cho Chang. The argument is that it's two last names from two different cultures.
I remember this too, she called JKR racist for not using proper Korean names and saying Cho is a last and not a first name etc… and then a Chinese girl commented on it correcting it that the name was a valid Chiense name. The name doesn't look Korean to begin with so idk what that poety girl was on about but the video of it got big.

Personally I see the Hermione-slave elf thing as a sort of commentary on the trope in fantasy content, because they ARE so common and no one usually bats an eyelid about it. It's a funny unusual take on it.

The goblin thing is… interesting. I honestly think some sort of 4chan level trolls started the rumor to make people associate jews with goblins under the guise of "social justice". But there is some kind of history to it as well. The traits European folklore give to evil creatures like goblins, trolls, imps, fairies etc are very similar, they're just the "evil" traits: ugly, too small or too big, greedy, evil, dirty, hairy, big noses and ears, evil pointy eyes, sharp teeth, they use dirty tricks. And so on.
And what do you call your enemies? Bad things! You insult them by making them out to be like these ungodly trolls and goblins. If you look up old steretypes about whatever group that culture considers an enemy you get the same traits as I listed before. So while the goblin stereotype has been used for jews on occasion to insult them, they've also been used for countless other groups of people and weren't a "jew" thing. It's like how the Brits used to portray the Irish as monekys and apes. Doesn't mean monekeys and apes are bad or that Curious George or Tarzan is meant to represent Irish people.

Thanks nona! I think the angry handmaidens I follow would consider that giving the troon-murder game too much attention so I think I'm safe lol

A lot of studies show you enjoy things MORE if you know plot spoilers so maybe it will bite them in the ass and make more people buy it.

I hate that they're cowards, but I'm sure they see their massive troon following and are afraid to lose their streaming jobs that pays their bills so I'm not too judgemental tbh. They have to either be a nobody or fuck-you rich to be able to pull it off without getting financially harmed.

Sage for blogposting but I remember re-reading Half Blood Prince on the bus to school a few years after its release and a scrote smugly telling me that Dumbledore dies at the end. It was so satisfying to see his face fall when I told him I obviously already knew that and that he was years late. But it’s still so annoying that a random moid I had never spoken to tried to embarrass me like that publicly.
Anyways, hearing how they’re reverting back to their grade school spoiler tactics made me laugh. Truly pathetic kek. JKR stays winning.

They are spamming spoilers everywhere. Several subreddits like r/gaming (36m users) have banned all discussion of the game (their pinned post is sitting at zero upvotes). r/HobbyDrama had a containment thread but deleted it and now bans all discussion. Official discord channel is flooded with mad trannies posting spoilers and spam and Twitch streamers are getting harassed etc. Tumblr tag is literally nothing but seething trannies.

And all this before the game has even been properly released! Trannies are absolute lunatics and I pray that more normies now realize that. I've never seen this level of insanity and harassment stemming from any entertainment.

Am I the only one a bit disappointed that we never got to see the actual robes like in the books in either the films or games? Picrel is what JK drew but I seen some cool renditions of the robes from the fans and I was a bit sad that they only wore basic brit school uniforms instead.
I remember a titbit where Snape got pushed over or something from the marauders which ended up with his pants being exposed which wouldn't have happen if he wore the film uniforms.

I guess the kids would find it too weird? I think 10 year old me would at first, and uniforms have this private school feel a lot more which is what I imagine they were going for? The first movie had the little pointy hats at some point but we don't see them anymore in the second I believe.
Speaking of that Snape scene, I noticed some people headcanon he started wearing pants under his robes after the event, so this doesn't happen again kekk, guess it's my headcanon too. I really like canon Snape but I also love what movie Snape wears so I like when people mix it.
I think my biggest disappointment when it comes to clothes in the movies was Dumbledore's clothes… dude looks so boring. Big missed opportunity, movie Dumbledore would be young me fav character if he dressed like he does in the books. I definitely like him a lot more in the books, and I don't have anything against the actor.. he looks… Dumbledorish, but man, were is his sense of style?
>>274445
I love these ridiculous names..
>>274488
Dumbledore would be too. Remember when he gave Snape a hat similar to what Neville gave the boggart? And then he wore it when Snape rejected! I guess the entire wizarding world wouldn't subscribe to this muggle madness.. except maybe Hermione because she tries to understand every side and is too empathetic and young, like many of us when we were sympahetic to trans bullshit. Hopefully a female teacher would throw her some sense. Women are women, muggle or witch, the struggles of our sex are the same.

His refusal to comment weighs in our favor. TRA and handmaidens are purely performative and think barfing out their propaganda is the only correct and righteous thing to do. If he was in the cult he would be chanting "twaw", calling JKRs views problematic and controversial. Instead he memed and says HP will be in his life forever. Our wolfboy is a secret terf.

I think the characters actors we know who have either supported or "refused to comment" on Rowling (which make them probable terfs) are:
Remus Lupin
Voldemort
Hagrid
Lucius Malfoy
Draco Malfoy
Bellatrix Lestrange

I honestly think many of the actors who haven't said a single word about it are pro-JKR. There is no excuse for a handmaiden to stay silent and we know rabid troons have been asking them for comments.

No. 274554

>>274553
Yeah, even the minor few-scene actors that are TRA have been saying so, like the loser who played Percy who only featured in a couple of scenes in the whole franchise. Everyone a part of the bigger-roles cast is likely at least sympathetic to her reasonable views about the acknowledgment of reality over fiction being important rather than submitting to male delusions at the expense of womens safety.

Iirc Robbie (Hagrid) was the only one to directly say what Rowling said wasn't bad and people are just looking to be offended. That's why troons literally celebrated his death, because he agreed and stood up for women's rights. He died a legend.

There's something so sweet about Hagrid being the one to truly stand up for what is right, and then we have the marauder making a meme when mocking it, splendid casting. I wonder if the fact that actors who play evil characters are used to unfairly getting shit (because people can't separate the role from the actor) has a part in why a lot of them played villains. Or maybe it's because people who play villains are often quirky and used to being "outcasts", not afraid to not blindly follow the norm.

I personally don't need him to be a radfem ally, I see Robbie as a normal average guy who stood up for what should be normal beliefs like "women deserve single sex spaces away from males" and the rest doesn't matter in this context. It's not a right/left thing, it's just an obvious fact that everyone should support but the rest are too cowardly to even say.

For anyone that doesn't know this, you can actually talk to the teachers and learn about them. They are always inside their classrooms, so if you happen to be near, you can always go inside and talk to them. I think you have to complete a certain number of their assignments before you are able to interact. I have only met and talked to Professor Hecat and Professor Ronen, still at the beginning of the game even tho I have played for 10 hours already. I just keep losing myself inside the castle, everything is so distracting, kek.

The game is horrible. The devs were so lazy they have everyone in the game use they/them pronouns for the player character even though they let us choose between witch/wizard at the start. Was it so hard to record lines with both pronouns like every other game? I'm afraid that all games with character creator are all going to be like that now. The majority of games have male protagonists. Games with character creator are the only ones that let us play as a woman. Now they're going to get rid of most female protagonists in video games. Our only options will be males or they/them mentally ill retards. I hate americans and trannies so much. They want to erase women and girls from every aspect of existence.

That doesn't seem to be an issue with just that game, I like JRPGs a lot and Nintendo games in general and apparently localizers are told to remove mentions of genders as often as possible so apparently in FE Engage you have shit like dialogs with a guy saying he find women attractive changed to him being "interested in people watching" or whatever the fuck, and in ACNH the villagers will talk about your character with they/them if they're not directly talking to you (allegidly, I'm playing it in another language). Seems like the entire video game industry is concerned when it comes to English scripts (whether original or localized scripts) because in many other languages that just not grammatically possible to do this.

I read Percy Jackson and honestly it really is for children.

Maybe in a nostalgic way. It’s not well written, like some anon said, really Americanised, and honestly kind of uninspired YA novel. It’s like Artemis Fowl.

I'm only 5 minutes in and I only caught one "don't play the game it supports transphobia!" message but everyone else is very excited. Leslie literally says "Obviously there's controversy surrounding this game… I decided I gotta play the game so I'm gonna play the game" KEK and says she doesn't agree with the message that playing the game and liking HP automatically transphobic. She doesn't support JKR though but says a lot of her friends are avoiding playing the game because of the controversy.

I know people keep asking for co-op or multiplayer but this game feels like a pure single-player RPG, i am deeply in love with the buildings.
Also, the 'tranny' character that the devs put in the game makes me laugh a lot. Even in the wizard world, trannies will always be the most obvious men in skirts, kek. The name too, ~Sir~ona Rayan. I am glad they kept some realism. It's a male character's face with a female hairstyle and chest, while still having a male voice, and doesn't seem annoying at all. An extremely self-aware one too. But this tranny is literally a small npc that you shouldn't care about, after all it's just a npc.

Imagine a chronic online loser saying this out loud to some normie Jewish people, they'd sound completely antisemitic

Goblins, trolls, any ugly creature etc, is seen as nefarious. It's literally fantasy shorthand to separate good and bad creatures, that's why the bankers are goblins.

No. 275516

Hope I'm not being too annoying but I'm copy-pasting this from 2X to give advice on what to do if you have friends who are mad at you for playing the game.

Just a tip for if/when your friends attack you over it, saying something along the lines of
>but it hurts trans people and JKR is transphobic
Ask how many games they've played that have sexist depictions of women. And violence towards women. Many games have literal acutal, brutal violence depicted. Plenty of women have been begging you to not play these sexist violent games, for years. If you didn't see it it's only because you give 0 shit about women and didn't listen, because it's not hard to find. Does that mean you hate women and want this violence to be real? Does it mean you support sexist violent treatment of women? And the age old question: did these violent games turn you and other people violent? Or was it… just a game?

This game doesn't actually depict or promote any anti-trans rhetoric. (If they say goblins are jews call them out on the fact that they're wrong and that's a retarded myth made by antisemitic people)

And taking away the fantasy aspect, how many shitty sexist and abusive game devs haven't been revealed? Why aren't you protesting against them like you've done for HL? Is this literal sexual abuse of real women (meaning they exist and it happens, not "cis") not as bad as trans people having their feelings hurt that a millionaire who wasn't involved in the game got richer? Does it mean everyone playing the game is in 100% support of that sexist game dev? Or did they perhaps just want to play an exciting game they've been waiting for for years?

To not be accused of being a terf add in something like:
You know I'm not against trans people, I don't think the staff is against trans people either, I just want to enjoy this game with my friends so I will do so.

If they STILL disagree and think you're a bad person take note and in the future every time they mention a game google to see if it has ANY sexist depictions of women, violence, controversies surrounding staff members etc and ask why the support that. Every time.

If you lose a friend over THIS, they weren't worth keeping around. Go make better friends.

I think this was discussed on an earlier thread, the reasons why people hate the Weasley parents:
>Having a bunch of children while aware that they can't afford it.
>Ron mentions that his father could have had a higher paying job but that he didn't because he loved muggle shit, thus prioritizing his retarded hobbies over the wellbeing of his children. Though Arthur seems to eventually change his mind and accepts a promotion later in the series, it seems he did so reluctantly, as there's this quote in the book when he's promoted:
""So you see, it’s a very im­por­tant job, and I tell him it’s just sil­ly to miss deal­ing with spark plugs and toast­ers and all the rest of that Mug­gle rub­bish.” Mrs. Weasley end­ed her speech with a stern look, as if it had been Har­ry sug­gest­ing that it was nat­ural to miss spark plugs."
>The whole reason why they have so many children is because they wanted a daughter, but once Ginny is born they ignore her and allow her siblings to mistreat her. So what was even the point? For example Quidditch was one of Ginny's biggest passions but her siblings didn't even let her play to the point she had to secretly steal their brooms and play by herself.

No. 275874

Doublepost but I wanted to add, I recently reread the entire series and god I dislike book Ron so much, he's so much drama. I counted 6 big conflicts between the trio in which Ron was either the literal cause or made things much worse. I know they're children and all but he was so fucking immature about everything compared to the other kids, every time he ostracized Hermione or abandoned Harry it was over some dumb shit. People go on about how Ron was so "loyal" but it's actually Hermione who was always loyal, Ron's loyalty was fickle as hell.
Also Ron's comments about other girls are so off-putting throughout the series, not only the way he talks about unattractive girls ("We don’t want to end up with a pair of trolls.” referring to Eloise Midgen) but also about attractive ones ("They don’t make them like that at Hogwarts!” referring to Fleur). Nothing extreme but it's off-putting and uncalled for especially when nobody else talks like that.
Also the way he kept dating Lavender despite not liking her anymore, badmouthing her behind her back and admitting he only liked her to snog. He was absolutely awful to her while she was just at a loss of what was wrong, constantly asking Harry about it because every time she wanted to communicate with Ron he would hide or pretend to be asleep. And in the end Lavender was the one who ended things because Ron would never man up.
And I'm not even gonna mention how awful he was to Hermione through the years. But the fact that he won her over by using a manual on how to pick up girls just gives creepy con artist vibes. It's tragic that Hermione ended up with him, she deserved so much better.

No. 275880

>>275874
Agreed. He probably picks up that kind of stuff from equally immature George and Fred. Hermione always seemed like a fixer though, she probably enjoys the fact that Ron is helpless and needs her, but that in turn is a source of emasculation for him.

No. 275884

>>275880
nta but at least fred and george have personalities. and are intelligent enough to invent useful and entertaining products. i'm rewatching the movies and i kind of liked it when ron got bitchy because before that he had no personality whatsoever except "friend" i guess. but then there was never any positive development to balance out the negative, he never learned from his jealousy or developed his own skills or whatever. at some points its like, why are harry and hermione friends with him. in the goblet of fire he's downright mean to everyone then never apologizes or grows. average male ginger.

No. 275887

>>275874
Oh yeah, the way he treats girls, especially Lavender and Hermione, I think I said it somewhere in the old threads this is pretty much what I hate about him even though I like Ron.
This whole discussion plus someone mentioning slytherin Harry reminds me of a fic I read once where Ron is sorted into slytherin… the fic is not even about him but I liked the idea and I wish there were more fics about it that actually focus on him and his family without going "dark Ron" or whatever and that also changes a bit his dynamic with Harry and Hermione. I also wish there were more fics about the siblings dynamics outside Hogwarts. Ginny is my least favorite Weasley but she was interesting during the chamber of secrets with the diary (lmao that valentine she sent Harry), so I'd really like to see more about that but it always comes down to romance in these fics and I just want to read the siblings interacting!!!! I guess people just hate the Weasleys too much to write a long fic about them kek

AYRT mte fanon Remus feels like he's been uwu pure soft boy forever. I used to read Sirius/Regulus fic and in it Sirius and Remus would usually be a couple, Sirius would be the most insane abusive brother of all time and Remus would be the smol gay bean at home doing chores for his bf. They often seemed to make Sirius worse than James even though they're both vile gays in the books. If I ever get into fic again I want to explore Snape ships more, the gayrauders were so obsessed with him it's comical in a way. Also Snack is a great ship name kek

Tumblr really sucks now, I only go there to get some nice HP fanart but now with the HL ordeal might not be a good idea… plus all the good artists that are still there are some flavor of gender special because fujos are LiTerAllY oppressing the gays uwu~ aka self hating straight women, so you have to be a non-woman to be openly fujo, pretty pathetic and sad.
I saw so much weird discourse last time I went there, bizarre shit like how Snape is a tots queer icon and JKR totally did him dirty and that is proof she is homophobic. Backwards explanation to why (something about looks, bad at sports, something something about brewing potions being like cooking = woman role = queer?) crazy ass shit and that was enough to make me drop any hopes of ever going back to tumblr. I miss so much when people would share their headcanons and they had nothing to do with politics and retarded gender roles and thats all they'd be, headcanons, not a rule you can't deviate from. Lets hope HL makes this fandom less annoying.

I've read the books all the way back in middle school, and I think I want to get back into reading fantasy books and stuff that's not challenging and will just cheer me up. I literally remember nothing of the main story besides the huge stuff like the obvious ones, since it was so long ago. Would Harry Potter be a comforting book to read during my breaks? I keep seeing so many memes about JK Rowling's writing and it just occurred to me that it's been years since I actually read something she wrote and published, and maybe it would be nice to just read it for the sake of fun and relaxation. Maybe I just like the fantasy aesthetic I saw in Hogwarts legacy ads and I've been thinking about Harry Potter a lot since the massive HP video game blowout, and from a friend saying the game was really fun.

Yes, I think HP is a good comforting book series to read.

>I keep seeing so many memes about JK Rowling's writing

It amazes me that adults who read a book series aimed at kids(/young adults) as kids and loved it, are now as grown ass adults saying the writing was "actually bad all along". No they were just written on a not-too-complex level because they were for kids, and as a kid you proved that it hit the target. You as an adult now thinking it's not adult enough is not a flaw of the books. What's next, super mario isn't an accurate enough representation of a plumber for you?

Oh she used harmless, fun, silly, "stereotypical" names in a fantasy book? Boohoo what bad writing.
Oh as a child you didn't notice that the old man who preaches love, dresses in flamboyant clothes, has a calm sweet disposition, and had a close "complex" relationship with another young man - was gay all along? Must be Rowling retconning him to be gay to seem woke.
Oh she used an "evil" folklore creature as it's been described in fairy tales for centuries? No, she must have invented it herself to represent an oppressed minority group that she hates.

Are there any areas of fandom or ships in particular that seem to attract gendies or is it more of a general HP fandom thing atm? When I last used dumblr I remember some people (iirc mostly Remus/Sirius shippers) trying to push FTM!Remus but they'd make up all sorts of shit like James is south asian, Sirius is hypersexual (more like hypergay), all the recent kueer discourse stuff comes off like people are trying very hard to compensate for liking a series written by an evil terf who literally murders trans folx. One of the funniest things though is when people act like they never enjoyed JKR's writing and that HP is really mediocre when it's so clear they spent their whole childhood/adolescence/maybe early adulthood completely obsessed with it.

Never seen troon Remus thankfully but I had the displeasure of seeing ftm Snape in fanart, makes me so mad! Just draw/write him as a girl! Also mtf!Harry, ftm!Hermione and the worst imo ftm!Ginny in fics.
I noticed the fandom nowadays seems really young, and some people seem to have only read HP and fanfiction, so the wokeness comes from there I suppose, they're stuck in a bubble where everyone has the exact same opinions.
In my experience, Remus specifically and wolfstar are gendie magnets. I'd rather read Remadora than wolfstar because I know there won't be any bullshit unless they make Tonks kweer [insert 500 labels]. I think this might be due to Remus being The ultimate softboi.. these people might've not really read the books because Remus doesn't resemble canon one bit. I don't wanna go "it's probably tiktok's fault" but it's probably tiktok's fault kek, I have no idea where this stuff is coming from but I heard HP is pretty popular on tiktok. Besides, I keep seeing characters that appear in the books in name only becoming these huge characters in fics, like Dorcas/Marlene ship, I had no idea who these two were.. imagine my susprise when reading the books again to find out they're just names. Dorcas/Marlene fics where they're not the main pairing are performative as hell, you just can tell they're there so the writer doesn't get accused of fetishizing The Poor Gay Men.
Also Regulus seems to attract weirdos too, I just found that "jegulus" is a thing and I hate it. Sirius would never allow this.
I have a really hard time liking Regulus because people always write him as some soft misunderstood little boy who never really believed any shit his family taught him… I don't understand how people can write Snape as a honest to God psychopath serial killer and in the same story make Regulus a poor boy that had no idea what he was getting into lol.
I noticed f/m content have less woke crap but it's bleeding into it recently too with nonbinarism, cus wearing pants and cutting your hair short actually makes you less of a woman lmao. Snape and Lily are almost a queer couple if you ask me, she only needs a pixie cut, since he is already pretty femme with his cooking skills, long hair and testerics.

Same! I'm about 10 hours in (going at a very leisurely pace) and I'm having so much fun just exploring and looking at all the details. Everything is gorgeous, I picked Hufflepuff just because I figured their common room would be the coziest and it exceeded my expectations, pic related. I haven't fast travelled once outside of the times the game forces you to, just because walking around the castle is so nice. I also don't mind the boring collectibles since it gives you more incentive to explore, and if you were going to spend a ton of time exploring anyway you just kinda naturally come across them without having to search. Difficulty wise I play on normal but I'm definitely not great at the combat yet, I barely get by while chugging health potions and panic-mashing the dodge button. I think that's just because it's been a while since I last played a game with real time combat as opposed to turn based, and I'm prone to panicking when reaction speed is important. It'll get better with some practice.
It's a great game overall but if I had to give one point of critique I do feel a bit disappointed with the lack of interaction with npcs. The students in the castle are fun to watch, but the fact that they don't react to your character at all regardless of what you do makes it feel a bit hollow sometimes, like you're a ghost unless there's specific quest-related dialogue. I understand that giving every random npc voice lines and dialogue options would be unrealistically ambitious, but I wish I could at least talk to professors without having to wait for them to talk to me. It also would be cool to have a bunch of random students and hogsmeade npcs that you could have short interactions with, even just simple dialogue options that aren't relevant to the plot but offer some immersion.

I've seen jily where it's FTM!James and MTF!Lily fucking kek, J/L has always been a terrible ship (JKR has terrible taste in pairings most of the time) so I guess some people cope extra hard. Also wolfstar has always been boring with a lot of entitled fans. When HP fandom was mostly based on livejournal i might be an oldfag Regulus was written as a soft twink then, too. Shipping him with Gaymes Poppers didn't used to be popular but there was a lot of him with Sirius or Remus, usually a uwu bottom with a dark side so maybe he's even more of an OC now? People think he's cute and looks like Timmy Chalamet or something. Pretty sure JKR specified he was uglier than Sirius and definitely died a virgin. I like the idea of him but it's more fun when he's a loser.

Sage for blogpost. I just have nowhere else to speak so freely.

I'm just so over of the level of cope fucking everywhere. "HP isn't even good! It's mid! I never REALLY liked it" Shut the fuck up, you loved it. You know you did. Everyone did. I saw you at the fucking midnight premier party for book Deathly Hallows at Barnes and Noble.
I don't care that others claim they don't like it, but it's so silly to see so many people I personally know just blatantly lying and expecting everyone else to just jump on the bandwagon. I'm not saying shit. Radio silence from me on all fronts.
They know their boycott has failed miserably and they're just grasping at fucking anything at this point.
I'll get shit on here for admitting it, but I consider myself an ally, to a very specific & small degree.. I want the people who are truly suffering to be able to do what they need to in order to stay alive and be safe, but they need to leave others the fuck alone & not be fucking pedos. I guess I'm only an ally to a smaller percentage… but now even that is dwindling. My patience is wearing so thin. There's so few "good ones". I have trans friends playing the game too, staying just as silent as I am. TiF's only, of course lol.
I dunno. My eyes are just sore from rolling so many times every fucking day. It's taking a small degree of effort to not just reply "COPE." On every stupid post. Today it was the joke, "HP fans used to have one lightning bolt on their heads, now they have two!"
Like okay. Fucker. Push your more normal allies further and further away. See if I'll show up for the fight when shit that actually matters goes down. Why don't they use the energy to fight where it actually makes a difference?? Legislature in the US is being pushed every fucking day, but you ask any of these screechy dipshit troons and handmaids about it and they have no idea what you're talking about because they're too preoccupied harassing internet strangers about the video games they play in private. It's pathetic.

It's mostly filled with positive comments, but every now and again you get people shouting rubbish about how JKR is anti trans and anti abortion. Where the hell did the anti abortion rhetoric come from? They are just making shit up about her now, hoping it sticks to people stupid enough not to do their research and feel sorry for the 'poor trannies.' I hate it! I am becoming even more of a TERF because now it feels so personal. They compared the death eaters to nazis when George Lucas did the exact same thing with Sith and Republic in Star Wars. Why doesn't anyone talk about that?

Luna would never, she is a sweet girl and I don't understand how these people read HP and think JKR would have written anything like this. They completely missed the messages the book tried to convey and vengeance was definitely not one of them, this is JKR, not Stephen King (who actually has a book about a school shooter and is a doormat)

Yeah, that's why I mentioned they're both TIFs, because it's actually relevant and a good way to show that they're exceptions and why they're exceptions.

>I don't understand how these people read HP and think JKR would have written anything like this.

At first I thought these people were just stupid and had no reading comprehension but it's been so long since they started twisting her words that I think it's done on purpose to make her seem like a bigot and a retarded, incompetent writer. They're just seething that hard. They're the same people who started the whole "Harry Potter is a rich white guy with famous parents who marries his high school sweetheart and becomes a cop!!1!" like yeah but that's a very surafce level interpretation and his story is more similar to, idk Cinderella because of all the crazy hardships he has to overcome to not have a shit life anymore with his abusive family and his crazy stalker who murdered his parents and ruined his life. They know all that but don't care. Same thing with "JKR said Hermione was always meant to be black but she's just deflecting to hie her transphobia" when all she said was that Hermione can be interpreted as a black british girl if you want and that you should stop being racist towards her actress in the Cursed Child (or whatever it's called).

She’s a Ravenclaw and a raging klepto from how many times i’ve alohomora’d into different people’s houses in the dead of night and eaten their snacks. Been playing for about 30+ hours and i really love this game…. it reinvigorated my love for HP and RPG games and it’s brought my best friends and i closer together talking about the story and our characters. i’m playing on an XBox series X and haven’t really come across too many bugs, sometimes some bullshit happens or the game renders a bit slow, but i’m so pleasantly surprised at how good it is. i really like (almost) all of the characters i’ve come across so far too! sorry for sperging lol this game just makes me so happy

Sorry for blogging but I don't have anyone to rave to about the game!
I'm 53 hours in and only have the final boss battle left in the main quest line (already failed it a bunch of times so I'm going to work on 100%ing everything else to level up more before I try again). I love this game so much. I'm not much of a gamer and really only play stuff like Sims but HL goes so slowly in teaching you how to play that I was able to actually learn all of it and I can use all my abilities in fights! (Normally I just pick a handful of abilities and stick to those which makes most games super hard.) If you're really good at this kind of game I can see how it would be frustrating, but many of the basic game mechanics were new to me - if anyone is hesitating to play just for lack of game skill I highly recommend it!
The game crashes every few hours but I usually don't lose much progress and I have only encountered three bugs that weren't fixed by saving and reloading the game and all three were extremely minor (an invisible questgiver npc but I was able to do the quest just fine, a cutscene where the dialog was too quiet, an instance where I couldn't talk to side quest npcs until advancing the main quest but the quest descriptions didn't say so). For context I have reasonably good specs with only 16gb RAM and I'm playing with everything on ultra (except foliage on high) and no ray tracing.
The main quest and main side quests have a feeling of urgency to them that makes it really satisfying and also hard to put the game down. I regret not doing more of the puzzles in between quest events because being so near the end has taken the wind out of my sails a bit. Some other nonnies were complaining about the Merlin trials but I did at least 10 of them before I found a repeated puzzle, and even the repeats have just enough variation to keep me from getting annoyed. In fact I love the puzzles in general. Most are extremely easy and obvious and puzzle elements are reused everywhere, but again, with just enough variation. There's one type of Merlin trial that I haven't been able to figure out (it's the one with rectangular blocks that have a diamond hole in each side where you can see some kind of crystal in the middle) but I've gone this far without looking anything up so I'm not going to start now.
There is just one small thing that I wish they had included… When it's winter time none of the students are wearing gloves or scarves. That would have been such an amazing little touch. Even better if the student npcs wore casual clothes when you meet them in Hogwarts or go on a mission with them.
Ok I'm done, thank you for coming to my keynote!

I don't understand why they think it's so weird. I went to a co-ed boarding school and we had a rule that boys couldn't go to girls dormitories, but girls could go to boys dormitories until curfew(as in, they had to be back to the girls dorm by eight). From what I understand, it's a pretty normal practice in boarding schools so Hogwarts wouldn't be an outlier. Personally the few times some girls secretly brought boys to our dorm it was uncomfortable as hell since those scrotes were unruly, loud and rude.

Alternative list of HP things trans ideology has taught me that I didn't know before trans people said it:
>"jews are goblins" is a given that everyone must agree with, becuase jews are in fact literal greedy ugly goblins and this was totally not made up by literal trans nazis
>a character can't be gay unless they're explicitly performing gay steretypes every scene they're in because being gay is a key personality trait
>it's racist to make up funny, cute or interesting names for all races, you must make exceptions for all non-white characters and treat them differently by giving them the boring names they deserve
>Having the unquestionably bad and evil villain be partly based on hitler somehow means everyone fighting against him is pro-nazi rather than anti-nazi
>Slaves of any kind existing in a fantasy setting means you are pro-slavery in real life
>Magical stairs that only exclude boys would also definitely exclude transwomen according to themselves
>Luna was the most perfect enby character to ever exist, until the actress sided with JKR and now she's one of the worst written characters in the books
>fantasy books can not portray anything problematic or unrealistic or they are badly written and support those bad things in real life
>celebrating Robbie Coltranes death publicly is normal and endorsed, because he showed support for JKR once
>Sending rape and death threats to women who are abuse victims is promoted as something good and brave to do if you're trans

You know what's funny is in the future when this has all passed there are going to be fantasy books written where the bad guys are literally based on the trans movement. There will be stories where the bad guys are an evil cult that says they cure children by mutilating them. Where the evil oppressors pretend to be the oppressed. Where the bad guys erase and ban all language to describe an oppressed minority group so they no longer have words to describe themselves. And just like how we look at Voldemort and see clear parallels to Hitler, we'll all see clear parallels to all the things the trans ideology did. That will be their only legacy.

i just found the book of admittance in the game and i'm fascinated by it, especially since the wiki states:
>the Book's sternness had a purpose: its track record in keeping Squibs out of Hogwarts was perfect. Non-magic children born to witches and wizards occasionally had some small, residual aura of magic about them due to their parents, but once their parents' magic had worn off them, it became clear that they would never have the ability to perform spells. The Quill's sensitivity, coupled with the Book's implacability, never made a mistake.
i'm so curious about what it's like to be a squib in a magical family. i think it would make a good story for a next game, like some acceptance movement for non-magical children. i always wonder which school they attend, since, even if they are non-magical, they should still be able to know about history of magic, muggle studies, herbology, care for magical creatures… there are many subjects they can study at hogwarts, even without the ability to use magic. they could also work as special messengers (the people who hand over the hogwarts letters and explain the wizarding world to muggleborn witches and wizards) or specifically work in muggle institutions that need to know about the existence of magic.

In the books, eyesight seems like one of the things magic can't fix - Arthur, Percy, and Dumbledore wear specs and they presumably would have had access to magic right when their sight started failing. And obviously someone would have to make Moody's eye. I can't decide which idea I like better, an opticians in Hogsmeade with hundreds of rolling glass eyes and floating glasses looking down on customers, or Dumbledore rocking up in a muggle Specsavers looking to get his eyes retested. (Even if there is a wizard equivalent, obviously Arthur would be going to specsavers kek).

i admittedly think its a little weaker than her other videos. which is a shame because her ron vid is actually pretty great.her whole argument is pretty much that it’s illogical to have a wholly evil house and that there werent enough good slytherins to justify it, and that its an echo chamber because kids inherit their parents beliefs. but obviously theres some stuff I’d argue like don’t people grow out of their beliefs from highschool?

>there werent enough good slytherins to justify it
This doesn't make sense to me. We only meet a handful of students and it's all from Harry's Gryffindor perspective, it's his rival house and his best friend hated Slytherin from the get-go. It's natural that we don't meet that many kids from other houses than Harry's. It's a fantasy series aimed at kids. Isn't it like saying Hufflepuff isn't needed either since we barely meet any puffs, and the most prominent one we meet, Cedric Diggory, has his key trait being bravery which is the most typical gryffindor trait anyway?

she actually tries to argue that it would have been better for cedric to be a slytherin but idk she spent the first chunk of the video saying how all the good slytherins weren’t actually good so would cedric actually have made a difference. plus the first 3 ravenclaws we meet were evil Quirrel, lockhart and crouch Jr. obvs this is all moot because it’s a kids book but I just think a lot of hp criticism like this is silly.

That's what I was going to say. It's possible for wizards to teleport themselves where they want but it's difficult enough that some of them fail and only half of their bodies are teleported and the other half is still there iirc so if curing someone's eyesight is possible but similarly difficult I doubt people would take that risk.

I always knew that they would remake the movies. The og movies where made before all the books where written so it was hard to judge what information they should put in them. But I do love the two first HP movies so much they are so comfy. They have a very intriguing ams inviting atmosphere and I always yearn to step into the movies whenever I watch them. The stellar soundtrack and set design and color choice helps. I don't think a remake will be able to feel so magical.
Tbh I'm sureprised that they are not attempting to make it into an cartoon or anime. Harry Potter is popular in Asia and anime has become mainstream in the west so they could easily collab with some big anime studio. And if they don't want to do that I'm still sureprised that they haven't attempted to make a 3d Harey Potter cartoon

Here's a fic focusing on Petunia's perspective on her sister getting to become a witch and not her. It also a AU where she meets a monster in the woods which I won't spoiler and focuses on magical beasts, being the less loved daughter and older sister to a more talented sister which is more relatable regarding siblings then the both of them making up and being bffs because their sisters as some fix-it fics do and a magical OC love interest instead of Vernon. I feel like this is the most believable Petunia fic where her personality doesn't get a complete overhaul into a super nice, done nothing wrong and everyone likes me fics. My explaination does not give the story justice, so please read the first chapter before dropping it.

Prediction, they will cast a biracial actor for Harry or Hermione. I don't think I would mind if Hermione was played by a black or mixed girl.

I highly suspect they are going to pander to trans people but tbh it would be so stupid if they do. TRA have already decided that Harry Potter is a modern Mein Kampf so they are not going to watch it anyway. Besides Harry Potter is big on an international scale so people from all over the world are going to watch this and there are countries where people aren't so familiar with trans politics so they are going to get confused by a trans or enby character. If they add one the character will probably be showed in the back and have a minor role, but that wont satisfy the few trans potterheads that are left because it's not proper ~representation~. It would be better to not add a trans character at all because there is no way they can win if they do

I think the series will probably be pandering in stupid ways too.

I'd prefer an anime too but I can't complain about this either.

My absolute nightmare scenario for this is if they make it "edgier" by doing the typical shit like amping up sexual relations. I also don't want them to only hire the typical hot super model actors for constant eye candy for average characters, that's a massive pet peeve of mine. It makes sense for characters who are meant to be hot/beautiful like Fleur (although the movies really failed on that casting in particular) or maybe even Sirius who is supposed to look a bit like a rock star. I really do not want a foxy Molly Weasley played by a 28 year old, or for a roided up Voldemort to suddenly be built like he injects steroids directly into his blood steam on the daily.

But on the other hand I also really don't want them to go the winx remake route where the cast completely missed the mark on every level just so they could look "inclusive" by having "ugly" and chubby girls in the main cast.

I like him but it's better when they keep him true to his character. Even if they go through the route of woobiefying him a bit, I do hope to see all that bitterness. It also makes Harry's character and his decision to forgive Snape (and give that awful name to his kid) stand a lot more. Like, they both have a lot of similarities and I think even Harry and another character say it at some point but the huge difference between them is how Harry in the end was able to forgive and move on, while Snape isn't, and that, to me, is actually very realistic portrayal of a person who was bullied and is very messed up, I think the way he treats the kids is very consistent to this portrayal, he is stuck in the past but now he is in a position of power he didn't have before.. and you know what happens when you put the loser up there while giving him free rein. It also contrasts with the other teachers just how immature and young he is. I just didn't feel any of this in the movies, movie Snape looks more like a stern teacher, someone who will give you a bad grade because you are lazy and wasting his time, very different from the guy who broke Harry's potion on purpose after the occlumency lessons fiasco and insulted Hermione for no reason some time before that. I think changing Snape this much changed the other characters for the worse too, not even the marauders vs Snape felt as good and compelling as in the books. Also Draco & Snape too, didn't feel like Draco trusted Snape that much as he did in the books.

Also I just remembered the duelling club with Lockhart and I wish the movies made him as ridiculous as he was in the books, dropping his wand and all while trying to teach Harry a spell.
"Just do what I did, Harry."
"What? Drop my wand?" Kek.

Since it's on topic and I'm curious I want to ask: anons ITT do you think Lily was wrong to get together with one of the men who basically tortured her childhood BFF? Or was it irrelevant at that point because Snape and Lily's friendship had dissolved?

We don't get to see anything good that James did so it is weird that Lily ended up marrying him basically right out of high school. Him and Sirius seemed like asshole bullies vs Remus being the calm friend and Peter being the sycophant who hung out with them. Presumably James was somehow endearing but who knows given we never got to really see it.

I don't think she was wrong. I think their friendship might've already been dissolving but he put the last nail on the coffin.
In the books she says she has been making excuses for him for years, and doesn't believe he is actually sorry because he calls every muggleborn 'mudblood', she is aware of the people he is associating with, of the things his friends have been doing.
There is a scene where he tells her he wants her to see the marauders are not "wonderful as everyone seems to think". I guess James is supposed to be a very charismatic and charming kind of guy + bullying not being taken seriously, maybe Lily didn't see how bad that was, maybe sometimes she thought it could be justified since Snape also put up a fight? And to be fair, I think he would attack them if he thought he might have the upper hand and as biased as Sirius sounds, maybe Snape was indeed really good with dark magic so young and that simply doesn't paint him as a victim.
Snape seems completely unable to tell her exactly what is his problem with the marauders. From his frustration with her saving him during that scene Harry sees, I guess he just doesn't want to be seen as weak. Can't really blame Lily when this guy is so difficult.

I agree with this. It's sort of the equivalent of your childhood best friend growing into a nazi, when you're part Jewish yourself. I think people ostracizing and bullying a person with death eater/nazi views probably wasn't seen as THAT bad by the onlookers. On the contrary James and co. who stood up against it became seen as heroic and brave for being against the dark arts.

I've personally had male classmates who were truly rude, bully-ish assholes, who did a 180 in maturity in the spam of the 3 years I knew them and they grew up to be genuinely nice at the end of it. It's honestly realistic growth for them to turn out decent once they've grown and matured a bit.

I started playing Magic Awakening and so far I like it! The art style is super cute, the in-game lore is post-canon compliant and it feels true to the spirit of the books. (I love going to Weasley's Whizzes and seeing George there.) There's a lot of canon scene cameos in the cards we duel with. The storyline is pretty basic and I rolled my eyes quite a bit, but it's whatever and skippable at worst, the characters are all kids after all.

The gameplay is easy to understand, and the PvP introduces the "hard to master" type thing, if you want to grind through the ranks. The gacha feels pretty generous for a gacha, and altho there's quite some microtransactions already, it feels very F2P - many purchases are cosmetics related. There's so many cute ways you can dress up your character with the free items. There's even a small rhythm game portion (Dancing Club) and it's pretty alright!

Some complaints are:
- basic, kiddie storyline
- very wifi dependent - Hogwarts feels pretty lived in bc you see other players running around the castle, can take classes together, duel together, etc
- the files are big and my phone heats up quite a lot, though its kinda old-ish (samsung s9) so ymmv
- i want more song variety in the rhythm game - rn its all waltzes and tangos
- you cant actually brew potions, it's less like Cooking Mama and more like 'press X to doubt'. I was so so sad to find this out
- you cant do a ton of exploring yet - part of the gradual feature rollout, I hope. e.g cant buy stuff from George's shop, there's no Knockturn Alley, etc

My fav NPCs are Daniel bc he's useful and Cassandra bc she's right about most things. The Frey twins are fun but they're just a total gimmick right now.
My fav activities in the game are co-ops in the Forbidden Forest and the social club. I wish we could dance with all the npcs - dancing's just for fun so it wouldn't even interfere with the Robin/Kevin ship the devs are locked on. Also I really hope we get more music soon.
I wish the clothes weren't gender locked so I could buy my character some nice pants that actually cover her legs. The dresses are cute though!
One thing I learned that I wish they didn't hide - you can buy red keys for 150 orange gems each, but that option only pops up when you try to gacha roll without having a sufficient number of red keys. I could've gotten the Ron card skin by now if I knew that from the start…

Be careful about pulling though, since the new update they sneakily changed the gold key pulling system. Even if you have 0 in your inventory the button makes it seem like you have some - but it’ll pull from your orange gems automatically. Not a good gem->key conversion

Regulus/James is pretty new though, doesn't really come from anywhere people just like two "hot" (they're not hot) men (posh boys). In livejournal days the most popular Regulus pairing was Sirius/Regulus kek and I can also remember there being Remus/Regulus and the inevitable threesome fics.

Me too nonna. I do think regulus sound like an interesting character, but these people write him like a total softie that never wanted to be a death eater and solely did it because of his family pressuring him. They can't with some balance, it's always black or white, and that makes for a very boring story.
Anyway, I see regulus/james I instant nope out of the story.

I figured its the combo of a relatively unknown cast/generation of characters + the hogwarts lifestyle template they neatly fit into + characters that don't have much "faceclaims" and so fans can mentally photoshop their features into literally whatever
and/or, the war started earlier for that generation which inherently heightens any stakes and adds more opportunities for drama and characterization than peacetime - bonus points for many families getting weakened or wiped out in the first round of the war. more pickings to choose from

fellow lucius enjoyer??
agreed. a lot of the marauders fics are very back/white. i like older gen stuff but i'd rather read about the slytherin crew or the hogwarts professors. the characterisations in marauders stuff tend to be very simplistc because it's focused on the ship.
i don't get regulus/james. they enver even interact in canon. and tbh i don't get the james appeal. sirius is more interesting imo but most fics ignore his canon characterisation anyway
i find older gen stuff fascinating because there's shades of this ww1-style doomed generation you know? but it's hard to find good character studies.

I'm one of the movie Fleur Delacour haters lol
I just think she was the least pretty actress on set and having boys swoon over her looked… like a parody at best. Fleur was supposed to literally be otherwordly levels of pretty because she's half-veela. I feel a bit mean saying it but it's truly not coming from hate, the actress just happens to have the most unfeminine face of the cast so the casting in this one role didn't suit her at all. It's not an attack on her as a person or her acting skills.
I genuinely think they just casted Clémence Poésy because she's French and had done model work and people just think "model = most pretty" when in reality most models have "odd" features that make them stand out because that's more interesting in photos.

The movies lost some of the magic after they ditched the robes. I know the movies were still massively successful but I really feel like it damaged their legacy a bit. Ain't no one cosplaying hogwarts students by wearing casual muggle clothes, it's always the robes.

I think overall the movies went the wrong direction of trying to make them appeal to more people by making it all LESS magic and more "relatable", instead of taking us further in and giving us more silly magic stuff. But in reality the silly and iconic magic stuff is what people love and remember. I would have loved if they kept the magic worlds fashion as its own cultural thing.

I actually think that's one thing people get wrong with JKR's work. She wrote the books like kid's books. I've seen the meme trends saying she gave people dumb stereotypical names, and I'm just here like… well duh, of course she did it's a whimsical kids book series??? People grew up and then expect them to be sophisticated adult books all of a sudden just because they're adutls now.

I think because JKR was made villain no.1 by trans people and they're both tied to her they'll have no choice but to eventually make statements about it.

I would like if the new series takes place in the books original time, however i don't want it to be a 90s nostalgia bait. The main appeal of Harry Potter is the wizarding world so I don't want to see the characters fawn over muggle devices, just so the 90s kids watching it can feel nostalgic.

I just want the characters to wear casual clothes that people wore back in the 90s when they are in the muggle world, and not wear the "ideal" stereotypical 90s fashion like picrel. I also dont want to see the characters use smartphones and make references to social media when they are in the muggle world lol. When they have to use electronics it has to be electronics from the 90s, but they should not empathise on the branding or try to make it nostalgic by highlighting stuff like VHS players, CDs etc. and implying that that stuff was much better than the modern stuff. The muggleworld should look as average as possible, just with 90s stuff instead of modern stuff. Hogwarts is suppose to be the whimsical place in Harry Potter and if they try to make some whimsical 90s nostalgiabait in the Dursleys home then it defeats the whole purpose of Harry Potter.

I also do not want any pop culture references whatsoever. I don't want Harry or Hermione to mention Spice Girls. I don't want to see some random background muggleborn Hogwarts student walk around with a gameboy.
The books didn't make pop culture references because that's not what Harry Potter is about.

Hopefully there's going to be some visual distinction between the muggle and wizarding worlds, I don't mind if all the muggles wear boring beige everything if it emphasizes the flamboyance of multicolored embroidered wizard robes. As long as the muggle actors all have 90s hair and makeup, I don't care. I think it'd be nice to have a scene where someone tries to use their gameboy or set up their massive brick computer in Hogwarts and fails miserably, since that's something that readers have asked about pretty much since the books came out. But I agree with you about the pop culture references, because studios are so retarded they'll try to increase zoomer engagement by having a dance-off to Backstreet Boys between Voldemort and Harry instead of a final battle.

This is a big reason why I have never been in the Harry Potter fandom or befriended hardcore potterheads despite being a fan myself. Many fans gets really defensive/angry when you call it a children's book. I love Harry Potter because it's whimsical and I want to enjoy it for what it is. I love the quirky alliteration names. Its charming.
There is also those type of fans who constantly complain about the lore and that the books are badly written because the lore isnt presented like a game manual. I think many insecurepeople are ashamed of being fans of children's books so they either try to deny it or they nitpick and overanalyse everything so they can prove that their image of Harry Potter is better. People just needs to get over themselves and admit that they like something where they arent the targeted demographic lol its fine to acknowledge the faults but also dont look too deep into it and expect it to be like a book written for adults.

If there's one thing we know it's that the "social justice warriors" will live on. Remember how the tolerant people used to be the ones to say "I don't see color" to mean "I'm not a racist, I treat people like people" but the SJW decided that actually the phrase now means "I intentionally ignore your black/minory background because I'm a raging racist who erases people's identities". They'll switch on people to fit their narrative.
I think once trans ideology becomes synonymous with "supporting unscientific mutilation of children, mostly for an adult fetish reasons" people will label some central celebrity troon supporters as the New Evil Bigots. People will @ them on social media and make call out posts and videos etc
They'll either how to live with the title of child mutilation supporter, or they'll have to come around and speak against it. The internet doesn't forget.

I fully think Emma is a "true believer" who would change her mind if she was presented with all the evience. When a troon said he just waned to pee, she thought he meant it.She's like a tumblrina handmaiden who thinks she's got the full picture already but gets a rude awakening once reality hits her. Daniel on the other hand seems more like he's just performative and does what the bigger mass thinks is good, because he doesn't think much himself.

I know I'm a minority, but even as an older teen and adult I've always HATED that books targeted to me would force in sex and relationships at every opportunity. I have zero interest in other people's sex lives, I even find it gross and off-putting. Light romance is fine if it's not the focus, but I swear every adult book tries too hard to be adult by putting in as much sex, violence, drugs, abuse and shit as possible to not come off as "childish". I fucking cherish that Harry Potter is a kids book without his uncle being a raging alcoholic who's sexually abusing his aunt or some shit because that's "realistic". Why can't I as an adult just enjoy books about friendships, overcoming struggles and maturing?

I unironically like the Finnish covers, but I may be biased bc of childhood nostalgia. But what I absolutely adore about publishers here taking children's literature more seriously is the quality of the translation. They always hire actual translators and not just some rando who happens to know the language. The Finnish translator of HP made up so much terminology for the books and put real effort into it, they're perfect. The names she used are still "the true ones" to me. I know some peope whine about Finnish sounding "dumb" but then again, it's a children's book, do you expect Finnish children to understand English names based on a pun or rare word most ESL adults don't even know?

No. 327460

>>327452
I'd love to hear some of the Finnish names nona! I'm one of the swedeanons, our names were 90% English, but a few names had some tweaks. For example:
>Fenrir Greyback is Fenrir Grårygg = literally "grey back".
>Tom Riddle is Tom Dolder = dolder roughly meaning "hidden one"
Making the full name anagram of Tom Marvolo Riddle ("I am lord voldemort") not work anymore, so they made his full name Tom Gus Mervolo Dolder and changed it to latin ("ego sum lord voldemort"). So his middle name is Gus here lmao
>Buckbeak the hippogriff is Vingfåle = vingfåle is roughly "winged horse" but using an uncommon word so it's not as literal.
>Kreacher the house elf is Krake = krake literally means "creature", usually in a pitiful sense.
(fun fact kraken, as in the giant mythical octopus, is literally just called "the creature" but other languages just assume it's a proper name. Makes it really funny to hear people say "THE kraken" because it literally means "the the creature" lol)

What I don't understand in the Swedish translation is why the titles mr and mrs aren't translated. Why aren't the Weasleys called herr och fru?
Otherwise yes it's random if names got translated or not. I like how blast-ended skrewts were translated to sprängstjärtskrabba. (Explode butt crab kek)

>What I don't understand in the Swedish translation is why the titles mr and mrs aren't translated. Why aren't the Weasleys called herr och fru?
This is my personal opinion of course, but we know the books are set in England, and we are culturally aware of using mr/mrs and it's commonly done this way in other works as well (and so is using madam/monsieur for a french setting, or writing out -san in a japanese setting). But when it comes to herr/fru we haven't actually used them here since… shit I don't know? 60s? Neither me nor my parents grew up with it at least.
Basically mr/mrs just adds regional flavour, while herr/fru would date the book at least 60 years back in time. Using no title at all would make the book lack a lot of nuance and charm. So keeping the original titles was the best option in this case I think.

ntayrt but i feel like many public figures likes to call themselves feminist but then they never do anything to help women beyond stating that girls can do anything in interviews. It's like they actually dont care about women's rights and only use it for publicity.

What are some things that bother you about the HP universe? For me, it really confuses me that Hogwarts acknowledges Easter and has dedicated Easter holidays, and also all the adults are completely incompetent at dressing in muggle garb but the Weasley kids are described as wearing jeans and jumpers during the holidays at the Burrow.
My headcanon is that celebrating Easter started as a muggleborn acceptance thing, but hit the wizarding mainstream and Easter egg recipes are published seasonally in Witch Weekly (hence Molly sending the golden trio some). In the UK Easter is celebrated in a very secular way, I guess wizards do the same thing and just ignore the whole Jesus part. Or maybe Jesus was just a wizard, who knows. As for the clothes thing, maybe it's just meant to symbolize that the kids are hipper than the adults? Idk.

Same!! When I was younger all my HP OCs would be students, but now I'm an adult I'm fixated on making OCs who work in the Muggle Liaison Office, specifically ones who coach muggleborn students + their parents into adjusting to the wizarding world, and helping squibs in pureblood families find a place in muggle society or (less commonly) adjusting to wizarding society as a non-magical person.

>>327763
i think the clothing thing was meant to show that the weasleys are a tolerant family who live close to muggles. and the kids are allowed to wear practical clothing while on holidays, otoh all working adult wizards are seen with robes. so maybe it's seen as a professional/casual clothign type of deal
we also don't know much about how purbloods live but it's likely they wear more traditional wizard clothing all the time. it's pretry clear from the books that the weasley are seen as way pro-muggle by most of wizarding society, it's even what stalled arthur's career. they don't necessarily reflect the average wizard.

it isn't a fujo exclusive thing either, historically the hp fandom has had major drama over hetero ships.

>>327892
i really wish we'd got more details yeah. we don't know much besides tidbits about whether wizards liked to wear trousers under robes or whatever.
my hc is that their fashion is fairly modest and conservative with very little skin showing for both sexes. and pureblood wizards are especially careful wrt grooming because they hold onto old fashioned aristocratic values about presenting according to your rank.
I'd imagine wizarding fashion moves slowly because wizards live much longer. And there's both a tendency to hold onto the grand old times and a will to differentiate themsleces from muggle. so i suppose their vlothing would mostly be reminiscent of victorian/edwardian fashions but with magical elements. colour changing fabric, magical jewellery, patterns and decorations with magucal motifs like stars and animals and shit. maybe incantations embroidered or written inside for protection.
>>327896
i yhink themeatically it would maje sense for wozarding fashions to have veen stuck in the 17th century since taht is precisely when they split apart from muggles. iirc rhe statute of secrecy is from the mid 1600s. but nothing in the films or books matches 1600s fashions so i guess they dressed differently even before the muggle and magical worlds separated.

Fashion is a special sperg interest of mine so I would happily do any costume work for free just for a slight chance of meeting our based terven queen. My headcanons about fashion in the wizarding world are similar to some anons ITT, particularly >>327897 with the prevailing silhouettes leaning more victorian/edwardian a la Hogwarts Legacy with a more magical flair. AFAIK the last large loan from muggle to wizarding worlds was rail travel and to a smaller extent enchanted radios so it would make sense for it to plateau around the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This also sort of lines up with the art style of the Daily Prophet, with its charming Victorian typesetting. A hogwarts uniform in the style of Hogwarts Legacy is definitely on my to make list!

I also like to think that fast fashion like we have or any department store for clothing does not exist in the wizarding world as they all have to go to a tailor for any robes with intricate embroidery, durable fabric and etc… As any stains can just be magicked away. This also could explain why Ron wore hand-me-downs school robes along with the fact I doubt parents would buy exact fitting robes for children and would much rather buy one that's a bit bigger and the hems can be lowered as they grow.

Yesssss I love to think about how wizarding fashion works. It seems that most robes that aren't second hand are tailored (iirc Ron is also shopping at Madame Malkins during the Draco/Harry confrontation so it can be inferred that it's not terribly expensive to get that done) which is interesting. I bet a lot of people who buy their robes second hand alter them magically so they're fitted better, too. What do you think makes robes womens' dress robes vs mens' dress robes? The cuts? That same scene has Madame Malkin accidentally try to sell Hermione men's dress robes and like… Is it not all just vague flowy fabric?
I also find it funny that Luna & Xenophilius are framed as weird for wearing a yellow dress to a wedding, but the literal Minister for Magic wears a lime green bowler hat 24/7 and no one says shit about that being odd. But tbf the Lovegoods are weird in many other ways too.

my hypothesis is that they don't use elasticised fabrics. in the days before these you had to get shuff tailored or altered by a seamstress mich more frequently.
it also seems their society isn't industrialsed so there are probably too few wizards in britain to mass produce clothing. there seem to be about two or three tailor shops total.
their clothing is probably very durable since it's somewhat of an expense and they'd probably use spells to make the fabric extra string, better thermoregulation etc.
as for the cuts, even vague flowy fabric usually has different cuts for men and women. if you shop in the moid section even a plain ol t shirt might be too tight in the chest and hips and too big in the sleeves. truly unisex fashion is very rare because almsot all cuts account for differences in build between the sexes. it's also possible women's stuff come indifferent colours or maybe it's designed to accentuate the waist etc.

>>327916
i bet their robes are magicked to help control temperature so you can just wear a pair of ribes over your bare legs at all times. that also means they wear a lot of long-sleeved floor lengjt stuff at all times. We've seen them wear capes in the summer.
they pribbly also have more elaborate stuff with a lot of buttons etc that muggles would find hard to get in/out of. since they have spells for that.

Yes, she truly embodies the Gryffindor spirit. It also incredibly heartening just how many likes her tweets are getting.

I got Ravenclaw when I last did the sorting test and it fits, I love learning and reading. For superficial reason, being in Gryffindor would be nice, because their common room is so damn cozy. Hufflepuff also seems cozy. No thanks to Slytherin, don't want to live without a sunlight view.

It's so weird how literally all JKR said was "love and support trans people, but also protect female sex based rights" and they took it as "brutally murder all trans people". Trans people are some of the most intolerant people on earth, and that's not an exaggeration. They don't even tolerate the mildest form of disagreement, and want to make "misgendering" illegal.

It's so ironic how the trans movement is like Voldemort - they do not understand love at all. They think "love" means obey everything they say without question. That love means to be a yes-man even when your groups actions harm already vulnerable people. That love means holding your tongue over what you say in fear of offending someone and being labelled as a "wrong-thinker", to attack others who wrong-think to free yourself from blame. Trans people attack female, gay and children's rights for their own gain and feel no remorse at all despite them clearly belonging to the stronger class (most trans people in power are literally just straight white men). Just like voldemort attacks defenceless muggles. They cut up children because they were "born wrong" and need to be "fixed" from their own healthy bodies. Trans people do not know love, all they know is a contorted mix of extreme narcissism and self-hate.

>I love big cluttered gallery walls and I think all the portraits in Hogwarts influenced that.
cluttered galleries do look cool! Good taste nona.

I was not influenced by the books but the movies. School uniforms aren't a thing in my country but I really liked the uniforms in the movies as a kid. I lost my mind when I found out that the uniforms (minus the robes) where standard in Britain. I used to wish my family would move to Britain just so I could wear a school uniform kek.
I was a teaboo as a kid and it's definitely because of Harry Potter and it did influence my fashion. As soon as I was allowed to dress how I wanted I started leaning towards a preppy style with some antique/vintage inspired elements. I think that style is called dark academia today? but that term is cringey kek and I did dress like that long before the term was coined and I never participated in aesthetic-blogging on tumblr but I do remember when tumblrinas first started using that term but I digress.
I have always been into old castles, fairytales and medivaltimes for as long as I can remember which was what drove me to Harry Potter in the first place so it didn't affect my tastes in home decor much.


Harry Potter did affect how I view wizards and witches though. I think it was the first time I ever heard a story with young wizards and witches as the main characters



Though as much as I liked the uniforms as a kid I still want the characters to wear more whimsical clothes in the HBO series.

book 7 in general made it clear that the mamfoys were regretting siding with voldemort, even if it was for slefish reasons. there were two significant malfoy moments in the books:
>when harry & co are captured by death eaters, harry has been temporarily disfigured by a spell so they're not sure it's him. they bring in draco to identify them and draco tries to buy time by pretending he doesn't recognise them.
>in the final battle, both lucius and narcissa take huge risks just so they can find draco. lucius pleads with voldemort directly and narcissa saves harry's life (in exchange for confirmation that draco is alive) by lying directly to voldemort's face that he has been killed. then they both rush into the battle (lucius without a wand) without even trying to fight, just looking for their son. and they stick around in hogwarts after volemort has been defeated.
by contrast in the films they just turn tails once they see the battle is going badly and that's it. it's way less interesting.
and you know jkr was tryibg to make a poibt that ultimately the malfoys' love for each other won over their loyalty to voldemort. and ofc it ties into the "love saves the day" general message of the series.

ayrt and yeah it was based. i liked that the malfoys were among those who ultimately did the right thing for purely selfish reasons. imho it's great that rowling chose to have some people on both sides with a variety of mottives. like you can say that the malfoys and snape ended up switching sides for selfish reasons ratther than moral ones; but it's realistic and more interesting than just "everyone on the side of the good guys is morally pure". you see way too much of that in kids' and ya fiction.
it's a shame th movies simplifioed the characters so much. i do't think it would have extended runtime that much to have the malfoys act like in the books, for example. they could have cut the dumb unneccesary cgi combat or the bizarre voldemort hug scene.
i don't think the movies are bad, they really made the wizarding world come to life, but ultimately the characterisation in the books is far more interesting.

god that hug was so fucking stupid and out of character, voldemort would never do that. You think he's trying to bond with a random teenage boy all of a sudden? The fuck would he do that for???

I don't want to start another fujo sperg-out, but knowing shipping has existed this whole time using their underage images to draw and write explicit sexual content may have had a bad effect on their mental health and that makes me sad.

I don't mind shipping underaged characters but making sexual fanworks of underaged characters from live-action media will always be gross.
If you are going to make sexual fanart and/or fics of HP characters then at least base their appearence on what's written in the books and not on the actors. Only a pedo will look at a character played by a child actor and wanting to make sexual content of them.
Emma Watson had a bunch of pedophile fans. Possible an unpopular opinion but while I do have some criticism towards her (which has been discussed in other lw threads) I tend to cut her some slack because of what she had to deal with growing up. I'm honestly just glad that she seems well-adjusted all things considered.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming HBO series but I'm worry about the child cast. I hope that their time in the spotlight will be kept to a minimum and they will get as little media attention as possible. So they wont be using social media, wont be participating in interviews and promo material etc. but I doubt it. A HP series is a long commitment so it's going to be children of insane stage parents who will audition

The hug was so fucking ridic. what was the point? the whole thing with voldemort is that he's incapable of treating even his followers well. that's why he loses. especially at this piint in the series, he has dropped all pretence and is just forcing everyone to join him or be killed. he doesn't reward anyone for joining him.
maybe the hug was meant to be bizarre and humiliating on voldy's part but it just ended up looking completely absurd.

in the aughts, the biggest ships in the ho fandom were straight. harry/hermione, ron/hermione, draco/hermione, harry/luna etc. there absolutely was some insane drama and degenerate ass content but it's disingenuous to act like it's a fujo exclusive problem.

Do you think they might end up casting Ben Barnes as Sirius? There's no way Warner hasn't noticed how people have been fancasting him for like a decade, and it might be an easy way to pander to fans.
I mean, if they want to pander to fans without crossing JKR, especially to marauder fans, they could look into fancasts and fancanons. Half-indian Harry is a popular fancanon for example. And black Hermione is basically canon at this point.

It's such a "it depends" moment. Because while black Hermione is fine, we all know she was intended to be white so it's less accurate to the character. Of course Hollywood keeps outwoking itself by casting poc to play white people all the time no matter the context, so they could do it. But then again you had the comment about how jkr stuff is an "online conversation" so maybe they're not trying to be woke this time?

Personally I'm for accuracy in this case. I think shoehorning in poc just to be woke is stupid, and frankly more disrespectful to the actors and poc. I'd however love to see spin-offs where you have pocs be the main characters on their own instead. Imagine they did something like a hufflepuff centered series following a black witch who struggles with fitting in because she expected to be in ravenclaw. The ravenclaws instead look down on her for being in the "stupid" house, and her fellow hufflepuffs don't like her because she clearly looks down on them for not being smart enough like her desired house. You could come up with so many fun dynamics and plots for original poc characters, there's no need to give them sloppy seconds by insisting they have the role of established white characters.

a cross between hufflepuffs and gryffindors, i guess. students in this house enjoy their alone time and generally try and avoid unnecessary drama. they are neither doormats, nor necessarily shy. they can and will stick up for themselves and for others, and stand in for their ideals.

>Fox (intelligent, competitive, adaptable)

a cross between ravenclaws and slytherins. students are very clever, though not necessarily restricted to having good grades. this also includes street smarts or being good at games. they are highly competitive and strive for greatness. they get along great with many different people and know how to read the room and act accordingly. unfortunately this adaptability makes people often assume that fox students are two-faced.

>Boar (protective, resilient, curious)

students of this house are fiercely protective of each other and do not shy away from confrontation should the need arise. they tend to become stronger through adversity and can handle pushbacks and disappointments very well. they are very interested in new things and tend to be adventurous, even if it breaks the rules.

>Pheasant (creative, extroverted, passionate)

i guess this would be the theater kid house. members of it are unabashedly themselves and do not care what others think. they dedicate themselves to their hobbies and talents and love hanging out with likeminded individuals. their passionate personalities often lead to heated discussions and fights with others.

fox and pheasant bring forth the most famous quidditch players. boar has the most troublemakers and rulebreakers. pheasants and hares often don't like each other because of their clashing personalities. foxes love gambling and run illegal gambling competitions, including bets on quidditch matches.

I don't mind raceswaps in fanwork (I actually like Indian Harry fanart sometimes), but I hope they don't do anything like that in the HBO series. Even if JKR said Hermione could be interpreted as any race, it's obvious she was meant to be white; JKR makes it pretty clear when she intends for a character to be nonwhite through descriptions. It would just come off as a cringe virtue-signalling thing to me. Imo HP already had a sizeable amount of nonwhite characters for its time, the only "issue" was that none of them were major characters.

I'll make my case for diversity in the HP adaptation:
>1. I think JK Rowling just imagined them all white by default and not because it's important for the plot. Seems she's fine with characters being more diverse.

One Piece recently surpassed Harry Potter with the highest recorded sales for a fiction story series in human history, and its live action adaptation was a massive success. I wasn't even interested in one piece at first but I'm a sucker for the chosen family trope and their friend group looked so fun and welcoming that I ended up watching it too. In comparison, an all-white friend group looks a bit uncanny and it's difficult for teens to relate to. Same thing when you compare modern fanon to Harry's all-white friend group.

Poc Harry is also a good way to visually convey that he doesn't fit in with the Dursleys, without having to resort to much exposure, just letting him look out of place in the uncanny, sterile, homogenous suburb that is Privet Drive.

I will be watching the series regardless, I just think it'd be nicer if they were more like the fanon.

>lasted maybe a month before deactivating

That's because you use twitter, twitter is unbearable in general. Use tiktok and instagram instead. Twitter is a text app, so it focusses on opinions and rants. But apps for visual media focus more on actually making actual content, be it memes or edits or fanart, or cringe yet funny POVs, or fic reviews.
It's usually teens who partake in the brainrot, which in itself is funny as hell. But the actual source media, like fics and the like, are mostly written by adults and they're actually pretty good.

ntayrt but I'm here to debate your arguements.
>One Piece recently surpassed Harry Potter with the highest recorded sales for a fiction story series in human history, and its live action adaptation was a massive success
The vast majority of recent live action adaptations have been massive failures though, and often a key complaint is that the main characters have been race-swapped and/or don't look how the character is supposed to look. People are currently incredibly sick of race-swapping in live action (plus we all know it's the redheads that get race swapped so it'll be the Weasley family and not Harry kek) right now would be a terrible time to do it.
>In comparison, an all-white friend group looks a bit uncanny and it's difficult for teens to relate to
What are you even talking about, this is obviously not true for the vast majority of the western/English speaking world? Like what race theory did you get shoved down your throat from social media to come to this deluded of a conclusion? Actually curious because you have such a strange skewed worldview.
>It's fans who have been pushing diverse headcanons for like a decade now.
A very small minority of fans have had headcanons and made fun race swapped fanart, but not all who made those even wanted it in canon. A big portion of that group is now also in the trans/TRA crowd - they now hate anything Harry Potter related and won't touch the new series with a ten foot pole anyway.
>there's really no reason why wizarding society can't be diverse, even if the story is set in 1990's Britain.
Correct, and the books ARE already diverse. Just not the main cast.
>It wouldn't be some forced inclusivity shit being pushed onto fans
>Poc Harry is also a good way to visually convey that he doesn't fit in with the Dursleys
This is literlly just pushing the narrative that "poc are DIFFERENT and DON't BELONG with white people". It's actually a pretty fucked up message. It also does send a message of racism whether you intend it or not, and since the books don't touch on Harry being a victim of his racist white family it will all just never get explored in any meaningful way.
>Use tiktok
Ok that answers where your weird worldview is from. Tiktok memes/grooms people into literally having mental disorders and into chopping of healthy bodyparts just to "be their true selves". And the rest cheers them on. Be careful on there nona you're already got fucked ideas like "an all white friend group looks uncanny". The fact you write that like it's a normal thought is frankly scary. Please get off the app and go into the real world more.

also i think there already exists a subtle classism aspect of how dursley's treat harry, they told him and everyone that his father was a jobless drunk and i guess they though that being a wizard was basically the same thing, being some unemployed loser. they make him walk around in shitty hand-me down clothes while they wear neat and fitting stuff and want to send him to school for troubled kids and so on. there is other much more blatant class related stuff in harry potter which i think fits fine in the UK context and rowling's own experiences of poverty. poverty and classism is an form of oppression of it's own that deserves cultural recognition, as a poor kid it was refreshing for me to see poor kids depicted in a children's book it's one of the things i really remember catching my attention as a child.

It's not hard to tell when diversity is done for brownie points and when it's genuine. The characters from one piece were light skinned in the anime, but the change was done right:
>They changed the characters that felt natural to change, not random ones they wished to self-insert into. Notice how the redheads stayed redheads.
>The diverse cast isn't nepo baby americans of varying skin tones, but actually people from different countries.
>Not all white people were American, the guy who plays Sanji is hispanic, the real deal, not a larping no sabo kid. Showing that it's not a skintone competition but a genuine effort to create a multi-cultural cast.
Not saying it should be done the same way, just that it's not fair to compare it to shitty stuff like snow white and the little mermaid, because it's not the same.
The rest depends on your definition of western world, if you mean western countries or just the white ones, if you mean people who speak English and consume English media and products, or just the ones from white countries. I'm from Latin America, though my parents are from Portugal and I've never been in a friend group where everyone is all the same skintone. That looks cultish and uncanny irl, makes it look like you only hang out with your cousins or something, like you don't leave your house. I know American series are all like that, but they're very, well, American. Nobody here looks at a gringo series and actually relates, I think it only looks normal to people in all-white countries.
Harry's friend group in that picture is alienating to many people. Not a big deal, just not really posible to relate to. Teenage me would have never fit in with that group, would stand out like a sore thumb.
Again, not a big deal, I'm gonna watch it anyway, but I do think they have a lot to gain by paying attention to the fanon. One piece did it right and that gave it an international appeal. Lots of people who can relate to it, because it's a friend group where they would blend in.
But if they only want to appeal to the "english speaking world", which I guess would consist of USA and Britain lol, then by all means I guess.
>"poc are DIFFERENT and DON't BELONG with white people"
What even is this level of reaching, Privet Drive isn't exactly a normal neighborhood where white people happen to live, it's described as some creepy suburb where all houses are the same and no one steps out of line. It's not normal white people who live there, it's stepford wives' kinda people.
And the Dursleys are prejudiced against magic, they display similar behaviors towards Harry as racist people would. In fact I think it's a nice plot twist to make you think they're racist when in reality they just hate magic. Not all white people have to be racist just because they're white imo, not even the Dursleys.

i still think durleys as classism allegory makes most sense even if it wasn't intentional at all, there is lot about classism in the books in general but when you take petunia's background into accord as well.

she and lily knew snape as a child, so they had to live close by and snape's neighborhood was described as typical uk working class neighborhood with mill towers and so on so it could be speculated that petunia and lily didn't come from a rich family even if they were better off than snape. petunia could be seen as this kind of hyacinth bucket type of character who is obsessed with her appearances not just because she wants to appear "normal" but because she wants to be seen as classy and richer than she originally is. vernon probably comes from well off family and he did look down on james because he did think james lived on unemployment benefits when they met first time, so petunia probably married vernon also as a way to socially climb up, maybe to feel as good as/better than lily who just married some freak magician she met in school while she became a proper classy lady.

>It's not hard to tell when diversity is done for brownie points and when it's genuine.
It literally wouldn't be genuine for the HP series, it would 100% be to pander to woke fans. As anons have already said, we know what the characters look like and we've known it since 1997 when the first book came out. It's not even about what comparison is "fair", both snow white and the little mermaid are from disney, they're both frankly a lot bigger and more famous than one piece and those ARE the movies people have watched and are sick of.
>I'm from Latin America
That doesn't excuse your frankly racist view that friend groups can't be all white. I'm a eurofag from a non-Egnlish speaking country and despite that never in my life has anyone here ever said anything like "it's so uncanny and cultish when a whole friend group is latin american, surely no one can relate to that".
>Nobody here looks at a gringo series and actually relates, I think it only looks normal to people in all-white countries.
Then maybe Harry Potter isn't for YOU. Maybe it's not about YOUR culture this time, and if you can't handle different cultures being different than yours then don't watch it. I assume you also dislike most anime given that they're generally all japanese, a very homogenous culture typically without any non-japanese people in them. Or perhaps you only dislike it when it's white people? Something to think about.
>What even is this level of reaching
>In fact I think it's a nice plot twist to make you think they're racist when in reality they just hate magic.
See you're again changing the plot to involve racism because you also realize people WILL see it as racism. You call it reaching yet then confirm exactly what was said. It's pointless and forces a different narrative that was never part of the story. And you're wrong about privet drive, it's described as almost painfully average and normal - something the Dursley's took pride in. But that's not your culture and you seem to think white people are creepy by default, so you just read it as creepy. It's just supposed to be dull and boring as a contrast to the magical world, not creepy.

>"it's so uncanny and cultish when a whole friend group is latin american, surely no one can relate to that".
Lol why are you twisting this though? I said that where I am it looks cultish and uncanny if an entire friend group is all the same skintone, didn't even say white, it can be any skintone, because it happens here too and it just looks like you're part of some church or that you only hang out with your family, because that type of race segregation is not normal here (keyword: here). Because how is it possible (here in a multicultural country) that you haven't run into people who don't look exactly like you, and if you have then it gets suspicious that you have never made friends with anyone like that.
And yes if an entire friend group is the same skintone and same culture and it's not your own, then most people can't relate. You can like them, but you can't really picture yourself being a part of that world, because you don't belong to that clique. How exactly does that make me a racist lol?
You know what's actually a bit of a skewed world view? To believe that the things white people do are universally accepted worldwide just because they have been doing them for decades, or to believe that what looks normal to white people looks normal to every other culture. Or to immediately assume that someone with a different opinion must be like that because they were brainwashed by tiktok, and not because they just have a different life experience.
>Then maybe Harry Potter isn't for YOU. Maybe it's not about YOUR culture this time, and if you can't handle different cultures being different than yours then don't watch it.
Well that's the thing, I don't know JK Rowling expected it to become the massive international phenomenon that it became, hence the latter addition of black Hermione. Times have changed, and many companies have gone from:
>This was made by white people for white people, it's not for you.
To:
>Actually we have realized that there's a shit ton of non-white people in the world and that it's in fact a huge market, and that we do want your money and apparently in order to get it we kinda need to acknowledge the fact that you guys exist?? So like, let's try to be diverse and stuff.
Back then Harry Potter didn't have to compete with diverse media because there wasn't much of it, but it's different now. Britain isn't really what you would call a multicultural thing, but the wizarding world can be, if they want. And I'm just saying, if they want to do it it'd be a bit of a waste to ingnore a decade's worth of mass brainstorming and trial and error done by fans.

Maybe other sides of it are better but I'd rather ignore Tiktok all together, plus there's not much back and forth interaction to be had there it's basically just watching videos. So far Tumblr seems like the best since the age skews higher but sadly most of the good and active artists are on Twitter.

Like I already said, that a homogeneous friend group, be it all white, all senegalese, all quechua, or whatever, is not exactly the best choice if they're going for an international audience. It was a good choice when the books were first published and the intended audience was british children. It was still good when there were fewer precedents of diverse media and they were actually a big example of it, with background kids of all skintones walking around Hogwarts, or with their choice of a half hispanic actress to play Tonks (video related). Their goals seem to be a bit different now, and international audiences' expectations nowadays are different as well.

Anime has a local target audience, they see international licensing as something "extra" that may or may not happen. Their culture is very peculiar too, if anything when watching anime you pick up on these differences, like their unique character archetypes (yamato nadeshiko, tsundere, dojikko, etc), their culture of "blood type=personality", and other concepts like "moe", "white day", "unsold christmas cake", "hafu", etc. I don't think any westerner watching an anime seriously considers themselves as belonging to that world, unless it's a deluded weeb or something.
Tbh one piece is the first one I've seen cater to an international audience successfully, and they raceswapped the cast and changed up cultural nuances. For example Sanji originally was depicted as the staple pervert anime archetype, but they changed that in the live action, because while in japanese culture that archetype is extremely common and it's seen as harmless, to us international audiences it's problematic.(derailing)

I think she'd be a basic terf, not a full on actual radfem if that makes sense. She wouldn't accept the unscientific bs that some men are/can become women, but she's not burning her bra so to speak.

Absolutely, I fully agree kek
>Ron would find troons weird at first especially the AGP ones but he is easily influenced and backs Hermione's views so he adopts her mindset later but still "misgenders" them in his head.
I agree about the first part. He'd find them gross, but that he'd adopt Hermione's terfy troon-hating views. So would Harry from the three of them hanging out. Hermione wouldn't be rude to troons faces but she'd vent to Harry and Ron about how gross they are.
I also fully agree about Luna, canon Luna would be so odd she's not even aware of troon stuff and accidentally misgenders troons unknowingly, unaware that they're even trying to pass despite being in full woman-face. The troons would bully her over it though.
>In general, Gryffindors would likely be supportive or TRAs
I don't agree, I think they'd be the ones "brave" enough to tell the truth (like JKR herself). The other houses I agree with. Ravenclaw would be full of conflict because of the 2 opposite camps.

Yeah I'm sure that's why the fans have been racebending them for over a decade to the point certain fancanons have become a staple and all. In fact I don't think I've ever seem this much consistent racebending in any other fandom ever, it sure makes a case for relatability.

Also lol, sorry but if you're straight out living together with people of all races, it's fucking weird to cherrypick only white kids as your entire friend group. Ig it'd be normal if you're living in a highly segregated or monocultural environment, but not when you literally share dorms with them. Racial segregation is not a "cultural quirk", no matter how much closeted racists try to pretend that it is. HP was made that way because Rowling did live in a monocultural environment and because that was also their market back then, the original audience was british, and that's okay, anyone can love a foreign film, but the whole point of diverse media is that it shouldn't feel so much like a foreign film.
And HP is a business that pushes for consumers to be a part of the Harry Potter universe, to see what's your hogwarts house and your patronus, to walk around the wizarding world virtually or at universal studios. They promote house merch for you to wear, not with the strict purpose of cosplaying a certain character, but as just yourself wearing your house colors. They even created new canon with the whole MACUSA stuff to try to pander to the USA, which was the wrong move because nobody wants new random lore, but it shows an intention nonetheless.
The whole "poc relegated to extras in the background while the main characters are all white" that worked for them a decade ago is not enough for international audiences anymore.
In any case, they don't need to convince me to watch Harry Potter. I'm already a fan, tbh I don't think you need to convince any die hard fans to watch it. Just pointing out what's best to appeal to an international market, if that's what they want. And it's okay if you don't like it, people can agree to disagree, idk what the big deal is.

Like >>334349 and >>335490 mentioned, racebenders and anyone who thinks Harry's friend group being mostly white is a genuine complaint are tumblrites/hyperwoke fans who consider the series anti-semitic and racist for inane reasons anyway.

I have also noticed that redheads are usually the ones replaced in movies and tv shows with black characters. My assumptions for why this happens:
Redheads are often pale, so they're seen as the "whitest" aside from blondes with blue eyes. Because of being seen as the whitest, they're seen as the least oppressed or the most "bland" by people who race swap.
Redheads are rare. They're probably more rare than black people. So they used to hold the place of familiar, but also a little exotic, beauty. That spot is being replaced by black people. Also, the fact that they're rare means they're unlikely to complain or their complains will not be heard. Plus, redheads are not the main characters but the friends or love interests or background characters, so not many people will complain if theyre swapped because most people don't care about these characters anyway.
Redheads were discriminated and are still being discriminated even nowadays. A lot of people making raceswaps are racist themselves so they don't notice this prejudice or ignore it. It's like replacing one "token" character with another.
Because they're rare in live actions it's easier to find a black actor than a ginger actor. Which means they're more likely to have a black character because finding a ginger actor means they will have to pay more. Then hair dye is an option but then the actor has to keep dying in through production so it's avoided. There are wigs but it's not a very good solution because many wigs don't look good.
For Ron and his brothers specifically, it's because a few times he acted like "an asshole". There's an overlap between the people who race swap and the people who complain about morality in fiction. By making these characters black, their actions will be seen as "more acceptable".

I'm finally playing HL now that it's out on switch. I kept seeing people say it was a mid game so my expectations weren't too high, now I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would.

they just call it mid because they wanna be woke. the game is great, especially for those who grew up as hp fans. do nostalgia goggles enhance the experience? of course. does it fucking matter especially since people have been dying for a game like HL for years before they decided to hate jkr for no reason at all? nah. i finished it 100% a few months ago but now i'm tempted to replay it because it's genuinely so enjoyable. hope you have a lot of fun, anon!

Do you consider the cursed child canon?
Apparently JKR said it should be but fans seem to disagree. I haven't seen it, but I saw a review of it and it seemed pretty bad and like the characters got ruined. Harry said he wished his son wasn't his, Hermione is the minister of magic, Ron is bumbling fool… voldemort has a child.

I can see why she would call it canon, because no matter how you look at it it's still an official part of the HP universe. So there is no way she could say it's not canon. But I refuse to accept it as the continuation of the books because it simply makes no sense and we know none of the play was intended while she wrote them. So at least in my mind while they are "canon", that doesn't mean it's actually how Harry's story continues and the two aren't mutually exclusive concepts. Like how both cartoon cinderella and live action cinderella are both disney canon, despite being different. It's just a different version.

While there are people who call HL shit because it's HP and they automatically hate anything related to HP it's not like everyone saying it's mid is bad faith. I follow some normal/moderate gamers who either don't care about the JKR stuff or back her views and some think it's mid. They don't mean mid in the sense that it's not enjoyable but that it's your run of the mill Ubisoft game with basic stuff you'd expect from an RPG and doesn't do anything innovative compared to its competitors. I haven't played it myself so I have no opinion on it but this is just to say that not everyone calling it mid has JKR derangement syndrome.

>>338457
It's canon but people can think it's shit and the writing was garbage at the same time. That wouldn't take away from it being canon though. Unless JKR comes up with a new post-epilogue book you just have to take TCC as the official continuation of HP (that most people don't care for).

Iirc she didn't write it, just approved of someone else's script of it?

I don't consider it entirely canon but I like to take the very small moments from the play/script into consideration. For example, the saving grace of the play was Albus/Scorpius' friendship and a few lines of dialogue from characters that deepened their lore. Otherwise it's all very garbage. Like one of my main gripes is that Harry treated Ginny like shit and yelled at McGonnagal. idc for the harry/ginny ship, but even I thought that Ginny deserved so much better. Especially with how her life turned out to be.

As for the play, I think you should see it at least once irl. The effects, music, dances are really well made that a bootleg/slime tutorial can't convey. I watched it since a friend scored cheap tickets and honestly it revived my interest in Harry Potter. Story is still absolutely shit though don't get me wrong.

No. 338500

it's a well made game but it's mid because after the first 20 hours of castle exploration, the rest of the world is lackluster. This is probably because the team making it was told by WB that the game would flop and halted any expansions outside the world of hogwarts more than necessary. Thankfully, WB was fucking wrong and the game exceeded sales expectations. There won't be additional DLC but they're already working on a sequel.

i just finished the main quest and while ot was tonnes of fun, one big issue is that the story offers you some choices but they don't matter at all. the whole thing is scripted to get just one ending and there are no consequences ti choosing ti be good or evil. it' still amazing wrt worldbuilding even if the countryside gets a bit repetitive. and the sidequests are great but not all characters get esual development.
hopefully they iron this out for the sequel. Imo it's a good game, not just mid, but it coudl be much better with a morality system and more choices that affect how the story develops.
big plus for the visuals though. love the castle and my victorian school uniforms

Correct, they approached her about making a play and she'd be in on the discussions and would make suggestions, and ultimately she approved of it. So she kinda helped a lot but she's not the "real" writer of it (and it shows).

>>338460
>Unless JKR comes up with a new post-epilogue book you just have to take TCC as the official continuation of HP
I don't think you "have to" at all, I think it's still correct to say that's the "play canon" and that the "book canon" is different. None of the play script is in the books, hence it is not "book canon". Look at it this way, JKR would never say the movies (HP and FB) aren't canon to the HP universe, yet there are a billion changes like how Peeves doesn't exist in them at all. So is Peeves not existing canon or do the movies simply have their own canon that is connected to but doesn't fully align with the books?
I think it's a disservice to all the works to insist they're always direct continuations to each other, rather than just related works that have their own little canons. It's ok if they contradict each other.

JKR has also never stated what she means by "canon". I honestly think she means "I was personally involved with the process of creating it" as opposed to it being made by fans or other people. All her writings on pottermore/WW aren't openly stated to be canon either, but it directly relates to the book canon and they're officially written and published works by her. Should those all be dismissed, or seen as additional canon content? JKR has never openly stated the books are canon, but she said it about the play… so in canon Hermione is black and not white kek (for racesperg anons this is a joke pls ignore it)

it's generally based on a very warped of the character. just like some ppl will turn draco from a pointy-faced cowardly bully into a smart sassy sexpot in leather pants, the average snape wofe sees him not as a bitter greasy gir but as a brooding, tragic tall dark and handsome hero
mind you, we do get biased descriptions if them in the books since it's filtered through harry's PoV, but even then fanon interpretations are wack.
it also helps that a lot of people have on'y seen the movies and snape's bad aspects in the films were considerably toned down compared to the books. he was considerably less of a bully and more heroic

i heard that JKR handpicked Alan Rickman and I can't see why. I don't hate his portrayal of Snape but I don't think his performance is noteworthy either. He did add some subtle depth into his acting which I liked but I can imagine a bunch of other actors pulling off similar performance. I don't think acting like that is hard to pull off for any experienced actors. Snape in the movies also feels much different than Snape in the early books which just makes it even more confusing that JKR insisted on Rickman.

Slighly unrelated but apparently JKR told Rickman Snape's backstory before it was revealed in the books so he could incorporate it into his acting. I guess that's why so many movie fans found Snape likeable from the beginning

i also hope that the snape's worst memory will be portrayed more accurately, not that i want to see his pants but in the movies they toned it down way too much. mainly bc i want to see how triggered the marauders fandom will be seeing their perfect precious faves being portrayed faithfully to the books instead of insane fanon. i enjoy the marauders as characters but only bc they're horrible people.

ok, my imagination is that not participating after your name was pulled could:
- take away/damage one's magic forever until you're as powerless as a squib
- put some (bloodline? lifetime?) curse on you
- put a curse on you specifically that has you deal with the same/similar trials you would've gone through anyway if you participated, but without the relative safety barrier of rules, precautions, set dates/times. Like that movie Final Destination.
e.g a tournament dragon AND its egg got loose, and the dragon is trying to rip off the roof of the Astronomy Tower to make it into a nest. to stop this, HARRY, which you totally could've prevented if you weren't a jackass, you have to steal the dragon's egg right from its talons (instead of the nest that the tournament would've provided) while limiting as much damage to other students, staff, and architecture as you can. nice work, Boy Who Lived at the Expense of Others!
- make dick/clit fall off
- all your magic is completely fucked and your spells and potions are on RNG, with the same consequences of messing them up regularly
e.g The pepper up potion you thought you were making was actually polyjuice, and those crushed fly wings turned the whole mix into uranium
- just immense social shame and a forever tarnished reputation, which is everything to a 14 yr old. The Boy Who Lived to Turn Down a Magical Powerball Lottery

well mainly because they were sorted into slytherin by the official quiz made by the author herself lol but also
>most people (at least older teens and up) understand that Harry's view on slytherin is biased and isn't accurate
>lots of people love villains becuase they're fun and it's all fiction
>some people had a crush on Malfoy as a kid and wanted to be in his house kek
>they're the cool bad boy house but they're not actually evil like voldemort
>they're the contrarian house, the ones you'd expect to be punks and push the rules and stand up to authority
>some people just love snakes and want to be in the snake house
>the actual traits listed for the house are good and some people relate to them more than the traits of other house

I was sorted into slytherin which shocked me at the time (always thought I'd be a ravenclaw since I'm a bit nerdy lol) but after reading that they're ambitious, resourceful, determined and clever I realized it fits me quite well. Especially the "clever" part that was similar to what I admired from ravenclaw (theirs is learning, wisdom, intellect), but unlike ravenclaws who are individualistic and only care for themselves slytherin actually values their friends/group highly and stick together. It also helped that I hold what's seen as "evil" values according to the woke internet/friends that I grew up with, such as being a terf and thinking sexwork is harmful to women. According to them I truly AM a villain, so that made it's easy to identify with the misunderstood house that gets a bad rep lol

Am I the only one who's cringing at the prospect of the new TV show? The original cast was basically perfect (or at least for the young characters), the franchise is still massive and the last movie was released not even 15 years ago, what's the point of rebooting it just now (aside from Hollywood being creatively bankrupt)?

Not at all. If it's shit, you can just keep watching the old movies, and if it's not shit, you have more content to enjoy. They might improve on some things, you never know.

I would be happy with any additional adaptions, I want every moment of every book on film with nothing cut out and a long TV series would be necessary for that. And I'm sick of some of the movie actors, fuck those traitors who value trannies and virtue signalling over the based woman who made them rich and famous.

The movie actors aren't canon so it doesn't matter how perfect they were - Daniel R still isn't THE Harry Potter. Another actor could do just as good of a job. And Emma W played Hermione really well, but I'm currently slightly upset by her (and Daniel) for being pro-troons so I'm happy for someone else to take her spot.

She's got a very average face to me, but Hermione was supposed to look way nerdier with big front teeth so I kinda agree that in a way she was too pretty. I think that's partly the fault of the stylist(s), Hermione had big bushy hair, but they only made the hair match the description in the first 2 movies after that she was the eye-candy as the main female. I assume the new Hermione actress will be too pretty too since that's how hollywood works but I hope they at least keep the styling on point.

I think it's fine. It's not like the child actors were prodigies, I really liked Helena/Evanna's performances though so I'd be surprised if the new actors can top theirs. I'm honestly excited to see what they do with the TV series as they're putting more care into faithfulness. The movies missed out on a lot and kind of fucked with Hermione and Ron's traits, not to mention the later director's Harry/Hermione bias. The only thing that would ruin it for me is if they added pro-troon stuff but since JKR is working on it I'm not that worried.

Given JKR's very reasonable stance on troons I doubt they'd push it. I think in a worst case they'll add one as a background no-name character, like a professor splitting the class into girls/boys and a guy with long hair standing with the girls to imply he's trans identified. But I also think the reason the one single HL npc is an adult is because trooning out kids is becoming illegal in more and more places all over the woke world, so even if they add a troon it would be an adult no-name character.

Are there any good fics about older characters, like what ifs/canon divergence that make good use of the wizarding world and their books characterization? I am so tired of reading about teens falling in love or the 9999 way they kill voldy (ok, that last one is my fault thanks to all the time travel fics I end up reading), I wouldn't mind aged up characters but I am also tired of adult HP going ooc crybaby because 'muh trauma', and none of these tend to use all the interesting stuff of the HP universe.

Jegulus is popular because of all the drama they have in canon.
James replaced Regulus as Sirius' brother. And when Sirius ran away from home, he sought refuge in James. So Regulus probably blamed James for stealing Sirius away.
Regulus and James were also quidditch rivals, and we know Griffindor won the cup.
So there's these two things that canon Regulus held dear, his family and quidditch, and James canonically defeats him at both, it's like he can't stop offhandedly ruining Regulus' life. I can totally see Regulus being jealous of James, then wanting to be him, and ultimately just wanting him.
But realistically there's no way James would have reciprocated. Perhaps he would have tried to get closer to Regulus to try and save both Black brothers, either for Sirius' sake or his own savior complex. But nothing more than that, James reads as very straight and he was head over heels for Lily. This is what bothers me the most about jegulus. Lily and James can work as this grumpy x sunshine trope just as well, canon Lily is as mean to James as fancanon Regulus is. It's obvious that the main reason why some fans replace Lily is because of a fujo fetish and internalized misogyny.
In that regard, jeverus makes just as little sense as jegulus. Both James and Severus were devoted to Lily, to suggest otherwise is a bit of a disservice. Unrequited jegulus though? Top tier. Almost as delicious as unrequited snily.

>>371908
>quiet sensible Sirius
It's been a while since I read these fics, but I starkly remember Sirius raising hell every time, especially in Choices. Keeping the relationship secret is usually a big plot point in jegulus fics, and Sirius is usually the very last one to find out. I think the only big jegulus fic in which he bites his tongue is Crimson Rivers, not because he's trying to be sensible but because he's too busy tying to keep the boys alive.

The big marauder fics are mostly canon compliant, (except for AUs obviously), they definitely don't strip away canon. I think what she means is that in the marauders era, the kids are just kids. They're not a professor, a traitor, an ex-convict and a dead father, and they have no idea that they will ever be, because right now they're just a group of reckless wondrous idiot children. This is especially true for Peter, because marauder era Pete is lovely and you can't help but like him even though you know what's going to happen. And that makes sense, like that quote that betrayal points to love because you can't betray an acquaintance. Peter's betrayal hurts because it's our Pete.
I will admit though, the marauders fandom is particularly prone to AUs. This is because most of these fics aren't inspired by the Harry Potter series, but by all the young dudes. They're atyd fanfiction. That's why some AUs are so far removed from Harry Potter that they seem to have no relation at all, if it wasn't for the fact that the characters' personalities and relationships come from atyd, which is a proper Harry Potter fic.
So if you want a real 101 just start reading atyd, read a couple chapters and see how you like it. I think any fic reader should check it out anyway, just for the sake that it's the most popular fic on the internet so far.

ATYD is utter slop, the characterisations are completely removed from canon. Normally I would just ignore a bad fic but this interpretation of the Marauders leaks out into the rest of the fandom.

I swear AYTD is at fault for everything related to the perception of Marauders/old generation HP characters now. Never read it and never will but every time I see a post from a Marauders fan it's the most schizophrenic spergery I've ever seen in my entire life. If they at least had the humility to acknowledge what they're spewing are headcanons that'd be one thing, but they don't. Completely fried Sirius' character by making him a retarded manic pixie dream girl (and for some reason many of them headcanon him as a girl, I've even seen people accuse others of being transphobic if they didn't like it and only want gay Wolfstar), and turned the whole Marauders friend group into BIPOC LGBTQIA2S+ activists who're always fighting on the frontlines for oppressed minorities, what the fuck is even happening anymore.

I like reading different fics and AUs (in fact I read all the recs from the last thread) so I'm not pressed about ooc. Still, people reach a bit when criticizing atyd.
The young marauders only appear for like 5 second in canon, so any fic ever written about them has had to make up their personalities one way or another. Unreliable narration is also a thing, Severus' experience is biased and so is Remus', people tend to see their friends through rose coloured glasses and only realize in hindsight.
That being said, the characters are fine? Remus is the most polarizing one ig, canon Remus is a broken man, but people act like he was born broken when he wasn't, life broke him at some point. In canon we only really see him as a teacher, or trying to be the person he needed to be for Harry. It's like people think teachers were never young or something, as if they came out of the womb acting all professional. Atyd Remus is an angry child who acts out sometimes, but his personality mellows with age and his casual self-hate and quiet resignation are consistent both in canon and fanon. Sure he has much more grit in atyd, but people don't act the same way at 15 than 35.
>>372455
I agree Severus' representation is biased and unfair, similar to his depiction in canon. He's pretty based though:
>suspects Remus is a werewolf, proceeds to test his theory by "accidentally" stabbing him with a silver pin.
>sees Remus limping and in need of a walking stick, proceeds to trip him down the long ass stairs of the quidditch stands.
Hilarious shit tbh.
I disagree about the rest though.
You guys hate atyd because of the fandom and its anti-jkr pickeism and I get it, but the fic itself is truly well written, it's not for nothing that it became so popular.
Sure, younger fans ran wild with everything and made up all kinds of headcanons derived from it, but atyd itself is just some fic someone wrote, it was never intended to be the basis of an entire fandom. Atyd Sirius isn't what the fandom turned him into, he's a rich kid who tries to act like a "yob" and tries to go against the dark nature of his blood but ends up being a bit twisted like the rest of his family. There's not even jegulus nor dorlene in atyd, most of the characters are straight, the few gay people that appear are mostly just a couple people Remus fucks throughout his life, and like one lesbian friend. And at least atyd features no troons at all and that's more than I can say about the peace not promised which was recommended here and which snily fans swear by (and which was also a good read despite all btw).

AYRT I was the one who rec peace not promised, unfortunately I was too deep in it to drop once the troon appeared. I gave a warning though so you don't get to waste your time if having even 1 troon is a nope for you, would be shitty to rec something like that and not say anything about it.
I loved the little things of that fic, like when snape tried to read the marauders map james handed him and it simply insulted him again. God I wish there were more fics where they interact like that.

Btw I never said atyd was badly written, at least not in terms of ability to put words on a paper and express herself, just that the characterization really sucks and idg why tag it as canon compliant, tag it as AU and I wouldn't care if lupin is dyslexic, I mean, there are AU fics where snape is as wimpy and soft boi as the fadom makes lupin to be, (and I even read a fic where snape was said to be beautiful which just made me close the tab kek), but thank god it's not tagged as canon compliant and the fandom knows that characterization is not canon at all.

You're one to talk about characterizations then. James, Sirius and Peter are pretty much the same in the peace not promised as in atyd.
In the peace not promised Remus is a slimy hypocrite, a despicable character all around. Was canon Remus supposed to be so slimy? Probably not, but it doesn't mean it's a bad characterization, it's just that the author obviously doesn't like Remus so she gave him that interpretation. It doesn't take away from her work.
You're just mad at atyd because your favorite character was depicted as an incel creep, but the fact that the characterizations are not catered to your tastes doesn't mean that they're shit.
You talk as if atyd was some dyslexia awareness manifesto, dyslexia is mentioned literally only once in a story with 200 chapters, and Remus doesn't even know what it means. They don't even delve on it, he just says he'll look it up later or something. For all purposes the kid is just an illiterate thug and it's interesting to see him struggle to hide the fact that he can't read for shit. Dyslexia is damn common anyway, it's not like she gave him some rare snowflake disorder. For me it just highlights the point that life hates Remus Lupin so much that the only simple pleasure he has, which is reading, he can't even do without magic.

NTA and I haven't read the peace not promised so idc but ATYD isn't bad because the characterisations aren't "catered to our tastes" but rather that they are literally just not related to canon, and that goes for all of them not just Snape. The author even rearranged the Shrieking Shack incident and SWM to make the Marauders look better, and at one point Snape bullies Lupin for being poor when canonically Snape was the one who was notably poor as a child and Lupin was never mentioned to have financial difficulties back then. Didn't they even make him pureblood? I mean at that point he's just an OC, canon Snape was a half blood who grew up in poverty. James is supposed to be what they made Snape essentially, a rich arrogant pureblood bully, and Lupin is given a ridiculously angsty backstory, as if being a werewolf wasn't hard enough- I don't know why you think "life hates Remus Lupin" when in CANON he had friends who cared enough for him to become animagi and he also married a woman who loved him and had a child, he struggled because he was a werewolf but when you start adding things in like he was an orphan and joined a gang or whatever it is no longer canon compliant. Sirius and Peter are also completely unrelated to their canon selves. It's fine if you like ATYD but don't act like it's a good representation of the characters, it's ruined the Marauders fandom for people who like their canon personalities.

Girl I am unhappy with lupin's characterization too because I like him too and all the other marauders for that matter, why else I'd even try to read anything with them and even complain peter's presence is minimal if I hated them.
"I am one to talk" lmao, you can hate peace not promised all you want, not like I ever said it's peak characterization but the characterization there is not bleeding in to the fandom like atyd nor is tagged canon compliant, dunno why you acting like I only read and liked one fic or that I'd be pressed if someone didn't like my recs.
The problem with fics with snape's pov is that they don't tend to write the marauders very well, and the same is true for the marauders fics, yes we all know about that, but the problem with atyd is that everyone sucks in that fic, even the main character, lupin is so far removed from canon that if you change his name would you even know that guy is supposed to be him?
>You talk as if atyd was some dyslexia awareness manifesto
Nowhere in my posts I did even imply that so I dunno where you got that from. I also said he was an orphan and lower class, next you gonna scholar me on how the poor and orphans are also very common.
>Was canon Remus supposed to be slimy? Probably not
I don't remember him being "slimy" in that fic so I gotta reread his parts but now I wonder if you even read the books cus he is def not the picture of innocence you think he is, and that's what makes him interesting. Quite sad the fandom forgot all about it to make his drama all about fanon problems.

Not sure exactly what characters/scenarios you are looking for, but here are some one-shots I like!

where there's a will (https://archiveofourown.org/works/12391806): canon compliant genfic about Harry dealing with the life or death situations he's put in constantly

The Portrait and The Prisoner (https://archiveofourown.org/works/30331608): canon compliant Sirius-centric character examination

Portrait of a Sociopath as a Loving Mother (https://archiveofourown.org/works/14408904): pokes fun at how underdeveloped Lily's character was in canon. A fun thought experiment

Playing For Keeps (https://archiveofourown.org/works/5713): really weird disturbing horror fic about Snape and Eileen. Reccing because it's very well written.

I Know Not, and I Cannot Know; Yet I Live and I Love (https://archiveofourown.org/works/6693841): canon compliant tearjerker about a friendship between Luna and Snape, I can't rec this one highly enough

Imperfection (https://archiveofourown.org/works/4684): Ginny/Hermione if you like femslash

I also recommend everything by the Ao3 user Delphi if you like rare pairs.

Just because the marauders' personalities are made more nuanced doesn't mean they're not canon compliant.
Peter had to be likeable at some point, otherwise why would the marauders be friends with him? It's not like he fits in perfectly anyway, he has a lot of friction with Sirius. Atyd James is a good person, but he is in fact an arrogant, spoiled, upper-class pureblood, and Remus dislikes them all at first, but later says something like James' big headedness is well-earned. He's just more similar to the James everyone sings praises to in canon, than to the James that Severus experiences.
Severus is not a pureblood, and though I think it's a pity he wasn't more nuanced, his character is not unrealistic. He's just following the cycle of abuse. Sometimes when a person is abused, they find someone who is below themselves in the perceived hierarchy and replicate the behavior. Colorism is one example of it, some black people who have experienced racism find someone with darker skin and replicate the discrimination. Severus is a half-blood, so he bullies a half-breed (and Harry does mention that Remus looked shabby even as a kid). It's a possible interpretation of Severus' character, after all, in canon he does become a death eater out of his own volition.
Canon compliant means that the shit you write can't contradict anything written in the books (or the canon source you chose), not that you're not allowed to give canon your own interpretation as long as it doesn't contradict it.
>>372845
I said the peace not promised was a good read, but by those standards the characterizations are just as "detached from canon" as any other marauders era fic that attempts to give them any nuance.
Atyd Remus is toxic as hell, but in the peace not promised he's awful. I think in that fic Severus even says that he hates Remus more than the others because at least the others were honest while Remus pretended like he wasn't taking part in the bullying (he was) and instead acted like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. I don't think he ever even apologized (while the others did iirc) not even when Severus was slaving over his wolfsbane for weeks at a time every month.
Again, you guys don't like that a particular interpretation of the marauders became so widespread, that's fine, but that doesn't mean it isn't a reasonable interpretation, it's not like the fic intended to become this huge phenomenon.

Every so often I go through intense Harry Potter binges of fanfic and fanart (picrel from SinsBibi on twitter). I'm so nostalgic lately for the days when we were looking forward to the new book releases and everyone would cosplay and go to the midnight release parties. It feels like there hasn't been anything like it since then (though maybe the Marvel fans did a bit of that, but on a smaller scale?). I just miss being excited for a series like I was back then and enjoying that excitement with others. Maybe I was just younger then and didn't know as much but it felt like it was genuinely a happier time.

I'm rereading HBP and this passage hits completely differently in 2024:

>“They do not call me Tom’ anymore,” [Voldemort] said. “These days, I am known as — ”


>“I know what you are known as,” said Dumbledore, smiling pleasantly. “But to me, I’m afraid, you will always be Tom Riddle. It is one of the irritating things about old teachers. I am afraid that they never quite forget their charges’ youthful beginnings.”


>He raised his glass as though toasting Voldemort, whose face remained expressionless. Nevertheless, Harry felt the atmosphere in the room change subtly: Dumbledore’s refusal to use Voldemort’s chosen name was a refusal to allow Voldemort to dictate the terms of the meeting, and Harry could tell that Voldemort took it as such.



Dumbledore is a giant TERF confirmed. Also Voldemort is a groomer who threw a sour grapes magical mantrum when he didn't get the unrestricted access to malleable schoolchildren that he wanted.

Honestly I find young Tom Riddle so much more interesting than Baldymort. I know a big part of his character arc is that his superiority complex and contempt for everyone around him makes it so that in the end he can't even be bothered to charm or persuade his own followers and resorts to pure violence and mind control instead, but I've never been able to find villains like that very compelling. I wonder if the HBO series will expand on his character before the first wizarding war, and events outside of Harry's perspective more generally.

kek to be fair to volds the name change was probably necessary for his choice of career… I mean you can't rly make it as a dark lord with a name like fucking tom, you need something evil-sounding. "cower before TOM THE MASTER OF DARKNESS" doesn't have the same ring to it
>>426186
as a committed dumbledore hater (power-tripping condescending dickhead) i'll admit this is his most based moment. But also if i was in tom's shoes and i'd travelled for an interview for my dream job only to be told "lmao i did u rly think i was gonna give you the job?" i'd probably start a murder campaign.

In general i think voldemort in the books is a really interesting villain, it's unfortunate that the films left the impression of a cackling maniac whereaq he has way more depth in the books. I also hate the way the movies made him look, he looks like some fucked up chemo parient instead of the supernatural snakey creature he should be. in my head he looks like picrel.
I loved the deep dive into his past in HBP and it's pretty interesting to speculate on his personality based on that. I agree that yung tom riddle is super interesting, unfortunate that so much fanfic about tom is just him being a daddy dom to harry for some reason.
also imo his shift in personalitty and goals after his rebirth is bc he no longer trusts his followers after most of them left the cause in 1981 and never tried to find him. we know the man has abandonment issues.

It’s suggested that he knew he wasn’t going to get the job and only went to the interview to get access to the school, which for me raises the question of why Dumbledore even allowed this if he suspected that Tomdemort was into some evil shit. Why let a suspected dark wizard roam unaccompanied through a school where hundreds of kids live? Even if they had all gone home for Christmas, it seems irresponsible. Why not meet him in the Hog’s Head like Trelawney? Was he afraid of being outnumbered by Voldemort’s followers?

Anyway I’ve always found it hilarious that he already started going by Lord Voldemort while he was still at school. How did that even come about? Imagine your buddy Tom confiding in you one day that he would like you to call him Lord Voldemort. I’d laugh in his face. And get murdered, probably.
I don’t know if this was a conscious choice on JKR’s part or just something that came about because HP was written for children, but everything around Voldemort, from his own title, to the term ‘Death Eaters’, to his skull and snake emblem, reeks of edgy teenage boy. And then we find out that he came up with everything when he was an edgy teenage boy. His followers all started as edgy teenage boys, too, and then groomed their sons and grandsons into it until being part of this edgy secret club became a family tradition. The Death Eaters are like a wizard equivalent of Skull and Bones.

Not gonna lie I've always thought about exploring his origins and rise to power in a fanfic of some sort but I don't know who on earth would want to read it.

>>426553
honestly voldmort's ridiculous edgy dramatic chuuni side is part of why i like the character. how he sheds his name and face but can never really run away from tom riddle. the fact that voldemort is an anangram of his real name is even funnier, like you know he spent forever trying every possible combination to come up with that one. mf probably does crosswords and scrabble too. too many ppl characterise teenage tom as some dark seductive alpha dom but he's canonically a loser nerd desperately trying to impress, and he can never shed that completely.

Kek I know people who go by their online handles in certain friendship groups, it certainly reeks of edgy teenage shit that now has that nostalgia factor and is steep in friendship lore. Hell, I’d call him Lord Voldemort just for the lol factor. So long as he called me by my pretentious Slytherin dark witch-sona name.

I get the impression the wizarding world is full of underachievers with a streak of hubris a trip-to-the-sun wide. It’s surprising how few muggle-borns are implied to have Hermione levels of enthusiasm and curiosity… even hermiones curiosity is tempered by her rule following to the point she doesn’t seem to be interested in creating NEW spells/potions. Actually all the wizards/witches I can think of that WERE doing new things were either dark (Severus) or considered weird (Luna). In that context it makes sense that Lord Tom was seen as both a non entity and threat… but given Dumboedore’s superstitious nature (dude let fate play out on a baby because destiny!) it could just be that he crossed paths with a black cat that morning and feared what peril worse than matching socks and a job interview with ole tommy boy awaited him outside the castle.

which to his credit is probably more interesting than teaching a bunch of little teenage horrors how to turn a rat into a matchbox or whatever.
honestly the whole war seems like a scrote ego war beteen two super powerful wizards obsessed with each other. and as always with moids' ego trips, everyone else pays the price.

dulbledore says "tom we both know you din't want the job" but hes not infaillible or all-knowing. voldemort gets mega pissed when he finds out the interview was for naught and he actually wants the job badly enough to curse the position (i love how petty he is kek). Imo he really did want the job. i bet this interview is why dumbledore started to interview applicants in hogsmeade, horcrux aside voldy probably couldn't have cursed the job if he hadn't been given access to the school.
>>426555
ngl id love more voldemort origin story bc his class background and resentment are fascinating to me. he's an outsider in both magical and muggle words and the fact thta he started out at the very bottom of the social ladder but ended up lording it over a shitload of purebloods while never really being one of them is really inyeresting. and it's a great avenue to eplore the issues of the wizarding world.
also pretty sure he had to make a whole new persona bc no one would have followed ol' tom the shop boy. gotta wonder why dumbledore didn't reveal his deadname to ruin his credibility, im sure he would have had a harder time gathering cultists if everyone knew he was the same bloke from behind the counter at the dark arts pawn shop.

I also agree with >>426703 and >>426604, what gets me the worst when it comes to HP fanfic (aside from "authors" posturing about Rowling's views in every chapter in Author's Notes, I think all of us would prefer if they just disengaged with the evil terf story if they hate it so much kek) is gradual OOC. I try to make allowances if the authors are just learning how to hone their craft and struggle with consistent characterisation, but it's absolutely maddening to get invested into something only for the quality to decline sharply.

Also, how do you guys feel about sexual themes/content in fics? I'm honestly in two minds about it - on one hand, I find gratuitous smut takes away from overarching plot more often than not (especially poorly written smut kek) but it's also a natural part of growing up and self-discovery. Some poor kid at Hogwarts definitely got teased for popping a random boner in transfiguration at some point in the school's history kek

I'm totally fine with sexual themes/content, I just draw the line at people giving Voldemort all the traumas there are to try to justify why he's so evil. For example of several fics I read, I could never believe Tommy got diddled as a kid, bullied by every sentient organism, and was a child who simply "slipped through the cracks" (basically all Voldey fics out there). In that case he would not have had 0 behavior problems at Hogwarts. He would've been a filthy mudblood smearing his own shit on the bathroom walls and making even Dumbledore blood-racist.

i don't personally mind sexual content as long as it doesn't derail the plot. It's very annoying when the while plot turns out to be an excuse to get the characters together and fall by the wayside once they get together and the ship suddenly takes centre stage.

I think part of why the abusive pasts of canon characters are overplayed so much in fanfiction is that the authors have probably never been exposed to those things, whether that be a realistic media portrayal or real life experiences. I think a lot of them try to imagine the worst possible outcome, more often than not to justify their characters' shitty actions in the story as righteous indignation at the hand they've been dealt in life. Not everyone in custody of the state like young Tom Riddle turns out to be wizard Hitler. He was just a particularly bad egg whose dark tendencies were left to fester deep within and consume him. In my humble opinion, if he had been adopted by a loving family or shown a modicum of care and attention at the orphanage, he would not have turned out so egregiously evil as he did in canon. Probably not a shining beacon of virtue, either, but decidedly not a genocidal maniac either. Now that I think about it, a well-written fix-it fic would definitely be a good read, but it's not something I foresee myself writing in the near future.

Also, nonnas, I've bit the bullet and requested an invite to Ao3 in no small part due to you guys' encouragement. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try!

this is a very interesting essay. i've read the whole cormoran strike series and it tracks. hadn't really realised how most of the dads in hp either die or are bad people.
I feel it's very significant that abusive fathers play a role in several people's going bad too. barty crouch jr joins the death eaters to stick it to his father, snape's abusive muggle dad (and low social status) clearly plays a role in his radicalisation, merope gaunt's abusive upbringing leads to her not understanding consent and enchanting tom senior, and to her running away from home and eventual death. and of course voldemorts' father's rejecting him plays a big part in his psyche (he's clearly still smarting about it 50 years later).
i like that rowling always show understanding of how cycles of abuse have a ripple effect, bot jsut in the family circle but in the damage people caught up in the go on to cause. like what we see with the gaunts. i just wish she also examined institutional failures as well.
>>427030
I agree with your interpretation of tom, i think making him a classic evil sociopath from borth is super boring and (kinda inaccurate, hes a clearly emotional person) but so is making him a perpetual victim. It's more interesting imo to look at how a combination of shitty upbringing and his own faults compoubded into something terrible. like he's both a kid that was failed by the system and also someone who made the choice to fuck over everyone else in his quest for revenge and recognition.
ithibk people have this black and white thinking where someone is either a tital unfeeling evil sociopath caricature or a traumatised woobie. what's interetsinf about voldy is that he actually is eveil but he also jas emotional baggage and trauma. Picrel from pottermore explicit some of his motives; it's pretty clear he's lore sentimental than pure socipayhy; he can experience attachment if not empathy.
it's hard to find character studies of him that don't fell into either extreme.
ngl i'd also like to see more fics/meta that take the class aspects of voldemort's trajectory and his resentment into account; i'd try that myself but i'm not a bong and i don't feel im familiar enough with the intricacies if the british class system.
