Another childhood series is ruined for me
>>24916266>colonoscopy prepping a patient with dementia
>>24916266.
>A wizard chud who through sheer willpower and discipline rises from a mistreated orphan forsaken by everyone to one of the most powerful wizards in centuries leads a (largely popular) movement to challenge a nannying, maliciously incompetent, overly bureaucratic government in bed with a bunch of goblins (coincidentally in control of the only bank in their society) who are meekly allowing wizarding ways of life to slowly wither away in the face of muggle expansion and even magical talent itself through normalized mixing of bloodlines.
>>24916266It was "the racemixing" interpretation that broke the camels back for this one? really?
>>24917015And of course this racist CHUD is the bad guy!>>24917042That, plus the absolutely unnecessary addition of a large number of blacks / africans into the story for no reason, as well as making Harry's love interest, who comes from a long line of purebred gingers, make out with a nog in public, in front of classmates and family members.
>>24917015the story in the final book on how the sword of gryffindor actually belongs to the goblins, as told by one of them. Even though it was paid for when it was forged. Goblins consider that everything they forge belongs to them, and paying for it only allows you to use it temporarily.Jesus Rowling, the big noses and the banking wasn't enough?
>>24917015>what if I split my soul and bind it to an object to quicksave in case I die>let's do this 6 more timeswhat was Tom's problem?
>>24917058They might have got away with the race swapping if they hadn't pretended white countries have always been full of immigrants and weren't actually white.
>>24917075The other question is why would it be so easy to find>bind soul to small metal washer>throw it in construction site>by the time anyone notices it there's a 5-story bughive apartment complex built on top of it
>>24916266The funniest part is that the 4th (I think) movie adaptation makes this clear when it adds a movie original scene of Harry flirting with a black muggle girl for seemingly no good reason.
>>24917015Tom did nothing wrong.Also the story is outright conscious of the real-world authority complacency and support of these replacement policies, it is kind of charming in it's own way (I'm no fan of the book's narrative and storytelling thoughbeit)
>>24919080It's in the penultimate movie, and nothing comes of it since he never sees the black girl again.Calm your tits, chuddie
>>24919119Still an odd thing to add to a movie adaptation that has to cut out a lot of actual material from the book it adapts.
>>24917015Does mixing with muggles diminish magical capabilities though?
>>24919152It’s not an “odd thing” when they explicitly tell you they add this shit to psyop society. This quote is overused but it’s so clear in laying out what all his ilk actually believe. This is the point of activism in media. They only lie if you ask them about it and insinuate this sounds manipulative or political then suddenly it never happened and you’re imagining things.
>>24917015The question is why Harry wants to be part of the wizard government even though they personally tried to fuck him over multiple times and unfairly imprisoned his godfather.If the government screwed me and my friends over that hard, the last thing I'd want to be is part of the system.
>>24917015It's so funny how transparently the goblins are supposed to be Jews. Also all the stereotypical names, like Parvati Patel or Cho Chang. Also the Weasleys are an extremely blatant caricature of the Irish.Harry Potter has as much fantastical racism in it as Star Wars, I'm amazed it doesn't get noticed more.
>>24919190It's still an odd thing because there's not a single thing besides running sports that's been made better by introducing racial minorities.
>>24917816Don't you need to be able to get to it in order to restore from the backup?
>>24919982>Also the Weasleys are an extremely blatant caricature of the Irish.How do you figure? They're English, and there are actual Irish characters.
>>24920019>red hair>come from old stock but not aristocratic>way too many kids>poorIt's obvious if you know what to look for.
>>24919990Much of what's distinctively American in music is essentially European instruments and melodies set to African rhythms. European music on its own is fine, but I for one am glad to live in a world with the sort of music that makes you start almost involuntarily tapping your feet and swinging your hips in the way that, say, funk does.
>>24919174If wizard has a child with a witch the child is almost always a wizard (Weasleys, 7 children, 7 wizards)Muggleborn children are minority in Hogwarts despite there being much more Muggles than wizards.Magic is undenialably genetic. Having children with Muggles only leads to your family line turning into squibs.Hail Salazar.
>>24921026>i for one like jangly little ditties instead of real propulsive rhythmOkay
>>24921256Where did I say that? African rhythms can be some of the most propulsive.
>>24921250How many muggleswith wizard powers marry non-wizard muggles though. It seems that the muggleborn wizards tend to marry wizards and wizards never marry muggles.
>>24921281Merope Gaunt and Tom Riddle SENIOR Eileen Prince and Snape's dad
>>24921290Ok and both spawned talented wizards.
>>24921303Gaunts are very ancient and pure family, so one muggle may not be enough. We don't know what would happen if Tommy had a child with a muggle, I think Hogwarts would have Filch's successor.
>>24919098Tom was a lifelong jobber, he should've realized that and instead placed himself as the right-hand man of someone much more competent
>>24917015It’s obviously just a stand in for Nazis, it’s American mythology why do you think it’s so popular? Yes now the edgelords respond to you saying that’s all based and Voldemort was the good guy, right on cue.
Kinda unrelated but after rereading the series I just realized, most of the events in 5 could've easily been averted if anyone simply pushed Umbridge down the stairs of from a window. If an investigation started from that, the obvious reply could've been "she slipped" or "it was an accident". Any professor would've covered it up
>>24919982>forgetting about the actual Irish kid
>>24919982Went over my head as a child. Surely it could have been subconscious on Rowling's part.
