When the JKR scandal went out, and with everything that followed, I felt a bit as if the magic was destroyed. As if I wasn't allowed to enjoy the stories I've been enjoying since my teens.
I was angry... and sad... And honestly, kind of betrayed!
At their core, the books are about fighting intolerance, bigotry, prejudice, and fighting the established absurd and stupid class system that was the root cause for it...
And in the last few months, all we were hearing was about how all those themes were hypocritical... And some pinpointed every instances in the books where that could transpire...
I didn't know where to stand in all this...
But then it hit me.
I am a HUFFLEPUFF.
I am part of a house of EQUALITY, TOLERANCE and ACCEPTANCE.
"Says Hufflepuff : "I'll teach the LOT, and TREAT THEM JUST THE SAME.""
Hufflepuff House accepts EVERYONE...
I repeat : EVERYONE!
This is where one of the many strenghts of Hufflepuff House lies.
Either, JKR created her own contradiction of thoughts, or this is a part of the books that was sadly glossed over by most people...
I'm not saying the books are perfect... They have their flaws, just like any other human creation.
But I have found my own place of serenity in them.
I am proud to say that I am a part of humanity that will be welcoming of every single member of our species, NO MATTER HOW you identify yourself as.
I'm not perfect or better than others, but I am more than happy to improve myself in becoming as great an ally as I wish to become... And more!
Whoever you are, you are welcome!
