    Everything matters more than Harry Potter. Harry Potter is fantasy slop, it is insanely unoriginal in so many ways. There’s better stuff out there to read and support. I don’t understand why people go gaga for this shit.

      Things are allowed to be kind of bad and people are allowed to like them anyway.

      Things are not allowed to be bigoted, of course.

        The first 2-3 books maybe, but Joanne really tried to push for a more mature tone, with none of the writing skills to back it up. Slavery, creatures that devour your soul, date rape, torture to the point of insanity, political corruption, the rise of fascism, grief, child soldiers, analogies about aid-riddled homosexuals targeting children. None of these are topics for a children’s book, let alone one written by a bigoted idiot.

        The average Harry Potter fan is still nostalgic for their lost childhood innocence I guess.

        Everyone expects media, other than their favorite, to be perfect.
