My controversial take is that Harry Potter is just kind of okay. I liked it as a kid but have no real desire to revisit it as an adult.
I don't think that's a very controversial take. It's a book series for children. That's the target audience.
My controversial take is that it's a shame that this thing didn't happen this year, because it's a nice thing, for children, who are going back to school very soon, and helps make the world feel like a more magical place.
Let's not forget, most of this shit is sour grapes from these fucking people. They dreamed of getting their letter from Hogwarts, their heart soared a little bit every time they saw an owl, they spent their formative years obsessing over this world, because it's immersive and fun and very easy to self-insert into if you're a child, and now they're bitter, perverted, abusive adults who want to take the magic away from innocent little children, just like the creepy groomers they are. "Oh, they're so mid and mean-spirited and they condone slavery and blah, blah, blah..." all because J.K. Rowling said men can't be women and it made their lady-boners droop.
Also, this is off-topic and just a personal thing, from my new playthrough of Hogwarts Legacy, but I have decided I hate this bitch.
"Hello dere, friend. Do yoo remembah how Ah beat yoo in de
Accio minigame? Oh ho ho, yes indeed, dat was a very good game dat Ah beat yoo in. Ah am from Uganda, and over dere, de wizahds do naht use wahnds hardly at ahll, dey do it ahll by waggling dere big BBCs around. In Uganda, our magic school, Wagamamadaggadoodlefroobledydoo is SO much biggah and more eempressif than Hogwahrts!"
Why don't you fuck off back there then, bitch?
Don't they burn little shits like you alive over there?
Folks, I am calling for Total Natty Death. It is non-negotiable, at this point.
