Diseased Rowling Derangement Syndrome - "TERF/Woke Author Bad!!1"

[Surfin Terf]

B-But her castle.


It's sad how tame the books are though. A bunch of teenagers and the best they can do is drink butterbeer, Really? They all have cauldrons and a alchemy book full of potion recipes. You're telling me some spoiled rich kids didn't hotbox some room and got high on cauldron fumes?

That sounds like something that the Marauders would have gotten up to. They're apparently the most popular subjects for Harry Potter fanfic, so maybe it already exists.

You are a child, plucked from humble origins, now living in a secret, magical world that hides alongside our own, where wizards, dragons, goblins and unicorns are not just mythical beings from storybooks but living, breathing reality, things you can see and touch and interact with. Where every day brings with it a new adventure, a new revelation and a new wonder to behold.

You are already living in an escapist fantasy most everyday people could only dream about, and you want to engage in something as basic as underage drugtaking? What, you want escapism from the escapism?

Are you a literal nigger?

• the Weasley twins were smuggling date rape drugs into the school, and Ron once accidentally ingested one
• Harry was making fent to drug a professor
• Harry and Ron tried to buy adderall to help with the exams

Does that count?

Hannah Abbot, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Professor Vector (Arithmancy)

Hannah was in Harry's year so they did have classes together sometimes. But you can add Cedric Diggory. Also for teachers, Alecto and Amycus Carrow and that muggle studies teacher who got murdered in the 7th book but her name escapes me.

Lel they were seething about her celebratory cigar in that infamous picture too; doesn't matter what she does or doesn't do, it's all Bitch Eating Crackers for them.

I wasn't going to watch it, but I will now.

Question - if I watch repeats does it still unalive a tranny, or do I only get half a point?

It’s a new show in the Harry Potter IP. It would do well no matter what. If they made Harry a transgender named Harriett, then it might do bad lol

Trannies are such a minority them boycotting anything is a joke.

I really want to drop $150 on a pretty HP hardback set and reread the series.

Let's be real, in all likelihood any boycott they profess is just theater, these people come from a generation so poisoned by its consumerism and need for the next dopamine hit that they're likely reciting the mottos and just quietly engaging with the thing behind closed doors.

 

[Candidate No 7]

One of the things that stands out to me when paying attention to Rowling's hatedom is that she's just kind of boring, normalish person most of the time so they get really fixated on the most anodyne things she says because there isn't really much to latch onto when she's not retweeting TERF stuff. At least if you are doing this to Jordan Peterson, Alex Jones or Elon Musk they are such fucking weird, pathetic people constantly stumbling into ridiculous situations that you always have something absurd to point and laugh at. With Rowling, they basically have to construct an entirely new person to get mad about, its like the whole mould thing they essentially conjured up from out of focus wallpaper patterns.

Reminds me of when trannies exploded because Mary Cate Delvey posted a video of herself hula-hooping. THE MONSTER.

Most wizards arent the first generation of wizards. Sure, harry or hermoine wouldn't do it. But the malfoy kid? For him magic is something real for as long as he knew. We live in a world that would seem magical for a person 500 years ago. We can travel across the globe in 12 hours, rather than weeks. But we still get high.

 

[FinnSven]

Hannah Abbot, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Professor Vector (Arithmancy). But I'm sure people who didn't do hours of Pottermore quizzes as preteens can't. A lot of trannies probably can.

I am sure they can!

Without descending the thread into fantasy-literature-film-tv comparisons, the three characters you name also proves my point.

There were a few more Greyjoys in the relevant Ice and Fire books, but all of their actions wound up being done by the one character who showed up later in the TV series.
Martin thinks nothing of sticking in countless brothers, cousins, uncles, gets them to do one plot related thing, then they are never really mentioned again.
The few hufflepuffs and non harry teaching teachers who have a reason to be mentioned are, but JK doesn’t entirely bother creating names for the “face in the hall” ones.
In another way, this is a lot more like how life actually was at school.
One was aware of kids in your year/grade who you saw at assembly, but unless you took a class or played on a team with them, you would probably never really speak to them or learn their names.

I would have thought they would have learned their lesson when the Hogwarts Legacy boycott blew up in their faces. But it looks like they're going to keep tilting at those windmills.

You mean the band? I already listen to them.

Yet according to her hatedom, she's the next Hitler. So, to fit this narrative, they have to pick apart every little thing she does and act like it's such an awful thing (like hitting vapes). Moralfag circlejerking at its peak.

I believe the autists call this 'the dictatorship of the normal' or something, where part of the normie master plan is to exterminate them through going about their daily lives and setting societal expectations that you be able to clean yourself and not be a total retard in public.

 

[Kokenami]

The autists will not survive the winter.

Rowling made a point out of making the Wizarding population quite small. While we see a lot of Hogwarts students in the films, that's deliberately not the case in the books. In Gryffindor, there's only five boys in Harry's year (him, Ron, Neville, Dean and Seamus) and three girls (Hermione, Lavender and Parvati). Chances are there weren't many more "face in the hall" students than the ones mentioned here and there.

However, the differentiation you're making is very interesting. I've come across quite a few people that resent Rowling's writing because of these details and miss the fact that she wasn't aiming for a sprawling epic with big family trees or a complex magic system. In fact, I'm pretty sure she has said she doesn't like fantasy (years and years ago) and that it hadn't occurred to her that Harry Potter could (or would) be considered as such. She wrote a boarding school story with magic, basically.

There's a very interesting conversation to be had about genre expectations and Harry Potter if people could just put aside the Derangement Syndrome tbh (not you, of course, just in general).

In the books it did seem to me at least like there was a reasonable amount of kids around. I didn’t pick up that there were only 8 housemates in Harry’s year.

But what I was driving at more is that Rowling wrote a simpler prose than Martin or Tolkien and a key part of that was not bogging the text down with massive detail.

How many kids were supposed to be in each house overall then?
How many in the whole school?

 

[CryoRevival #SJ-112]

Well, 32 * 7 years = 224, 56 per house. Sounds about right for the described common rooms.
I believe core classes are two houses per class, so 16 kids per class is a very healthy, basically extinct student/teacher ratio. Electives presumably shared.

Bit of drop off after OWLs in line with the real world, probs not much since there arent any wizarding plumbers or bricklayers.

Again this is in the vein of a ritzy boarding school so this all sounds fairly reasonable.

There are also entire floors of the castle which could just be abandoned for the year for things like the Philosophers stone.

Setting aside meaningly bullshit about self sustaining population, it actually sounds really on point, especially, again, for a fancy little boarding school.

I agree with your overall point, sorry if I didn't make it clear. They're very different styles, which are influenced by the time period the books were written in, the expected audience for them, the genre (that's why I mentioned Rowling wasn't trying to write fantasy) and simply personal preference (the Strike books aren't description-heavy either). You just reminded me of a common complaint I've seen before, even if it was only tangentially related to where you were going.

The poster above me has kindly spared me the math regarding total students. All I can add is that, if we assume that, in the time of Harry's parents, there were four Gryffindor boys (James, Sirius, Lupin, Peter), we can guess at an overall average. Some autistic speculation we can add to that but is nowhere in the books is 1) there being less students because of the war, either during it or after, 2) a House like Hufflepuff, that prides itself on teaching everyone ("I'll teach the lot and treat them just the same"), having more students than the others.

Somehow the later books still ended up being several hundred pages long, about as thick as something written by Martin or Tolkien.
