  True… What actually inspired that thought, indirectly, was thinking about how the anime I was watching (seven spellblades) felt like a more interesting wizarding universe than HP.

    You should check out Mashle, it’s basically a parody of your typical “magic school” anime where the main character can’t use magic and literally just out muscles everyone.

      Your magic is strong, but my squats are stronger

      Mashle is very distinctly a Harry Potter parody, yep. All the way to the “chosen one” scar. Even the magic school headmaster looks 1 to 1 like anime Dumbledore.

    Meanwhile Hogwarts Legacy sold like 40mln copies? Most people don't care about dumb politics

      I doubt you would call it “dumb politics” if she was relentlessly campaigning against your right to exist in society as a person.

        I have them tagged as “right wing PoS” so I’m not sure youre getting anywhere with them.

      People also still use Meta products, Apple products, Amazon and their products, and so on, even though all of these companies directly support the budding fascist empire in the USA.

      Likely, you too buy/use products by a corporation that supports the pumpkin dictator, and that has much more real-world effect (on trans people and on all other minorities too) than the ramblings of a mad old TERF.

      At least Rowling isn’t directly stoking the genocide in Gaza or rounding up and deporting people to prison camps in other countries.

      (I’m not defending Rowling. I’m just saying at a certain point most people, likely including you, value the convenience of next-day-shipping over the life of some people we don’t know.)

        Rowling has spent tons of money petitioning the UK Supreme Court to basically make existing as a trans person in public illegal. She’s got more money than some cities do.

        Like, legally, there is no where a trans man can piss in the UK. Not allowed in the women’s, not allowed in the men’s. Just got piss yourself.

        Rowling is literally directly funding the erosion of trans rights in the UK. She IS directly responsible for a genocide.

      Well I own it and I do, and most of my friends do as well (some of whom are trans)

      But yeah, fuck JKR.

        I mean I was conflicted about buying a copy and did not until (a) my wife wanted one and (b) I saw our trans sister had a copy.

  I got the first and the second book from my mom when they came out. While i didn’t love them per se, i liked them enough that they peaked my interest in becoming a reader, and i started to read more books, and i’m thankful for that.

  Since then i had a few girlfriends who were super into HP and they made me watch the movies, and i have to say, these stories are not thought out at all, and are often dumb as hell. I don’t really remember much, but just the fact that quidditch doesn’t make a lick of sense is really telling. Or goblet of fire, they were okay to let them play with dragons. Everyone shrugged and told HP that well, he might die. Someone would’ve drowned if he didn’t break the rules and people were pretty upset about the rule breaking. And at the end, Cedric died and everyone was absolutely shocked and devastated that someone died at the murder tournament.
