I would argue that the two most perfect critiques of Harry Potter come from a pair of 4chan posts, which take opposite approaches to their critique but reach equally damning conclusions

Sometimes it seems all roads leads to Hogsmeade ❄️

i love how most drarry fics don't paint ginny as, like, a jealous ex. it’s always, "oh, ginny? yeah she's over there with her girlfriend and baseball cap. yeah, she's really happy. happier than this loser." and harry is just sleeping on their couch or something.

[c-kiddo]

everyone who posts positively about jkr’s new ugly wizard movie gets beat with a rock and cursed with spell of Your hands fall off and get eaten by rats

[tryclops]

it IS cringe to still give jkr your money and i’m tired of acting like it’s fine as long as you’re aware she sucks. yes even if you’re lgbt+ it is still cringe and terrible stop doing it

[eulangelo]

it isnt cringe, it is actively transmisogynistic though, as any penny that goes into her pockets will be used to fund her anti-trans hate campaign that is actively used to these days to strip trans people (especially transfems) of their rights.

giving money to jkr means financially supporting transmisogyny and anti-trans hate.

HARRY POTTER MEME ϟ [¼] WARDROBES The signature colors that costume designer Jany Temime chose for Ron, Hermione, and Harry in Prisoner of Azkaban stayed with them for the duration of the series. Costume designers decided to go with pink and purple tones for Hermione’s wardrobe, as blue tones washed Emma Watson out on screen. These pink and purple tones were also often paired with pieces of denim, cardigans, striped or patterned knits, and peacoats. Hermione Granger’s wardrobe designed by Judianna Makovsky, Lindy Hemming, and Jany Temime in the Harry Potter series (2001 - 2011)

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE 2005 | dir. Mike Newell

[incorrect-harry-potter-quotes]

i’m not linking the book synopsis because i hate her and i don’t want to give anyone the site traffic for her hateful decisions but jk rowling is releasing a book where a cis man dresses as a muslim woman so he can murder people and it’s so cruel and disgusting and blatantly transphobic and islamophobic and fuck jkr and fuck anyone who continues to agree with her violent bigotry or even defend her she’s pushing and monetizing false rhetoric that demonizes incredibly vulnerable groups of people who are exponentially more likely to be murdered than to murder and will do nothing but give bigots license to harm people they see as not conforming to their antiquated and damaging ideas of gender expression and religious dress fuck her so much

[dorites-deactivated20241117]

that scene in the second Harry Potter where Harry has no bones in his arm is probably the most disgusting use of cgi

[moscowdiscow-deactivated2017011]

that wasnt cgi they literally removed daniel radcliffes bones for that scene

[dorites-deactivated20241117]

I hope he got them back

[moscowdiscow-deactivated2017011]

they didnt have the budget to put them back in so for the rest of the movies in the franchise they used cgi to make it look like they did

“What he really wanted was someone like — someone like a parent: an adult wizard whose advice he could ask without feeling stupid, someone who cared about him (…) . And then the solution came to him. It was so simple, and so obvious, that he couldn’t believe it had taken so long — Sirius.” (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)

Death of the author feels like such a white take tbh

[kiyokospeaks]

“it doesn’t matter that this author was blatantly and violently racist and homophobic because the author is dead uwu”

[shoefaced-deactivated20210321]

Honestly, death of the author is a concept that is used incorrectly quite a bit. It’s meant to mean “It doesn’t matter if the author had [x] intentions because the text itself and the reader’s interpretation of it matter more than what the author intends.”

So, if an author is not intending to be racist or homophobic, death of the author means their work can still be racist and homophobic if that is what the text portrays to the readers. Whether the author meant it or not.

The intent of the author, no matter how benign, does not change what is on the page. And if the page is full of bias and prejudice, then it’s biased and prejudiced.

[avantegarda]

All right kids it's time for "two opinions I don't think are contradictory" time

JK Rowling has said a lot of dumbass stuff and it's completely valid to dislike her and criticize some parts of the Harry Potter universe

Those books meant a lot to me and plenty of other people as kids and I still think they have a lot of redeeming qualities and generally entertaining bits, though of course I don't expect everyone to like them

There you go. That's what's up.
