The Harry Potter Fandom

...does that person even know what Jesuit teachings were like?

Also, at least it's not Snape firing a rainbow out of his anus.

Shh, don't give them ideas. Besides, there's something even better.

She's actually stopped being a complete exceptional individual and her art's pretty decent now. She had this long tumblr post that was basically "sorry I was a complete sperg whatever years ago, please stop talking about it it's old".

I would try to dig the post up but I don't have the time since lolwork

I'm actually on pretty friendly terms with her. She's not so bad, really, though I could do without her worst asskissers because they will coddle her something awful. She's still got some emotional problems and I'm hoping she'll be able to work through them.

I had to do some digging to find it again, but I remembered a long time ago I saw this on DeviantArt. It's just not so much the naked Snape that makes it strange...

It's the description and the comments, wherin there is a debate on whether or not Snape is Catholic. As the artist states a few comments down, his teaching style is very "jesuit-ish".

That's odd. Back in the day, the argument was always whether or not Snape was "coded Jewish."

Note: "Back in my day" was 2002.

Was there anything even resembling religion in the books? I know there's ancillary materials about how one of the kids or whatever was a jew and it triggered the /pol/tards, but I don't recall any holidays depicted other than a Traditional Secular Xmas.

No, there's nothing of the sort. Wizards don't care much for religion, they're too busy being pagans.

iirc Rowling specifically says there's no Wiccans at Hogwarts.
I guess when it's as basic a thing as gravity it's not really a religion at that point.

I meant stuff like believing in the mystical properties of wandwood and such.

 

[Coldgrip]

Isn't it a little late to be harping on the HP fandom? I mean there's like what, 10 of them left? Are they even relevant anymore?

But that's not really a religion then, is it? They don't "believe" in it any more than I "believe" in the power of 7-Eleven to sell me gas and beer. It just is.

The Harry Potter fandom is still there. They never truly died.

So long as nerds sort their favorite Supernatural characters into Hogwarts houses, it shall live on.

Yeah there's the extra bits of crap on the ebooks site, and there's the spinoff movie series about Some Guy And The Adventures In The Potter Universe. If Warner Bros makes good on their ambitions it'll be around for a while.

I never actually heard much about the Harry Potter fandom beyond My Immortal. Then again, I never payed attention to the series beyond watching some of the film adaptations.

Though it does not surprise me at all at how the fandom turned out to be, given how popular the series became.

Prepare yourself for the greatest Harry Potter fanfic of all time:

 

[Ido]

Yeah, I didn't really get into the series until about a little over a year ago and, not gonna lie, I've become totally obsessed. But with Fantastic Beasts and where to find them coming out next year the popularity is going to spike again. I follow a few HP fan pages on Facebook and a little while ago one of the admins got pissed (though I can't find the post, it might have been deleted because a lot of people got pissed over it) about Matt Smith being cast as Newt Scamander, they were upset because apparently Scamander had a descendant who was black and they swore he was being whitewashed. Next year is going to be super interesting though, especially since I was indifferent to HP during the first wave if it, and I'll have popcorn on standby for when the internet fights break out.

Also can we please talk about Hogwarts School of Prayer and Miracles?

So, why did the SJWs decide Hermione was black?

 

[Hodor]

The worst fans are the ones who try to defend Order of the Phoenix and Goblet of Fire. Loads of 'and nothing is happening' in both of those novels, and Rowling can't write angst for shit.

 

[Surtur]

IIRC, somebody found Tara's youtube channel and that she would've been a middle schooler at the time the story was being written. Supposedly, the only reason she never finished My Immortal is because she got bored of Harry Potter and moved on to Twilight.

Because of course.

The series peaked at book 3 and went downhill from there.

 

[Olhelm]

Because the books never stated Hermione's race (even though Deathly Hallows did), her fight against Muggleborn prejudice parallels ethnic racism, and WAAH MUH INTERPRETATION.

I disagree. I liked Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

They also sight the fact that she is described as having thick, bushy hair, which white people totally can't have and isn't racial stereotyping!

(They also forget the fact that J.K. Rowling did have a hand in the choosing the cast of the movies. Then again, knowing the people who say these sort of things, they probably think they know Hermione's character better than the author does.)
