Why do people still act as though harry potter had any levell of deep thought put into it, when the actual explanation to everything is that jk rowling is incredibly shallow and obsessed with stereotypes, and a lazy story teller.
Because we grew up with it and nostalgia is hell of a drug.
Because it’s a fun universe and letting that entire universe die because the author wasn’t some phenomenal writer is unfortunate
It’s not deep, but it’s fun (mixed with nostalgia). If you don’t like it, find something else to read or watch.

Well, when she thought of all these concepts for this indivual book it was still intended to be a children’s book. Rowling never wrote for an audience that would question her superficial world building, she wrote to impress elementary school kids.
The fan base has well and truly left the shitstain’s opinion in the dust and moves forward on I dividual head canon like crazy these days. Basically any post you see like this is based on years of community shit, not what Joanne actually wrote. Reclaiming a world they grew up with and all that
Kinda like CODA in TES lore but way more widespread
And magic, baby, is a metaphor
Hufflepuff were JK’s perspective of the ‘help’, and it shows
Because it’s the only book they have ever read.

If you have an interest in Harry Potter, we would appreciate your input on potentially moving instances. Please feel free to chime in on this thread: Should we consider moving to another instance?
My advice would be to avoid moving to lemmy.world, if you do plan to move. Not because there’s anything wrong with lemmy.world, but because there is a mildly concerning amount of centralization towards that server, and it would be better to spread out potentially popular communities a bit more.
Out of the instances you listed on the thread, literature.cafe seems like the best fit if your community does decide to move.
Agree with literature.cafe. Would love to stay on your own instance, but if that’s infeasible, a smaller topic specific would be better
Thanks for your input!
Yeah, literature.cafe is what I’m leaning towards as well.
You know they have the good weed in Hufflepuff house, too.
That’s why they’re so close to the kitchens
puff where?
