      Like, it actively DOES NOT MAKE SENSE that something like the Triwizard Tournament would just let them give Hogwarts two champions and double the chance of winning on a technicality It's EXTREMELY awkward

      There's a bug in how the Goblet is constructed and everyone just goes along with it rather than just... I dunno, collecting names manually and picking out of a hat

      To be fair, though, that's completely on-brand for the idiot wizards in HP who would rather stick their heads in a fireplace or send OWLS than just buy goddamn cell phones because EWWWW, MUGGLES

      I have seen the viral Reddit post yelling about the obvious fact that Harry Potter is supposed to be a whimsical world where everything is goofy and ridiculous and trying to CinemaSins it for realism is just missing the whole point

      I get this, I agree with it, and I would argue the reason so many Harry Potter fans get annoying about this is that Harry Potter did this to itself when JKR very awkwardly tried to make the transition from goofy Roald Dahl cartoon to dark epic fantasy over time

      YES! The first couple of books were very Roald Dahl whimsical but then the books themselves started to try for something more internally consistent and it DID NOT WORK

      the reason she botches the transition to the adult horror is that she isn't willing to interrogate the real awfulness of that whimsical world like the part where the wizard cops will send you to a torture prison for being an unregistered animagus, to take just one example

      or the enslaved house elves, or the deep deep weirdness of wizards acting like the benevolent custodians of the muggle world while also treating muggles like objects there's just so much *structural evil* in the books that she is desperate to ignore

      instead the evil is all presented as voldemort being this awful intrusion to a genuinely innocent, whimsical world "if we can just kill the one bad wizard, all the evil will go away" if you actually want to write a story for adults that can't be the lesson

      Honestly it's deeply fucked that she invented the house elves in the first place, introduced Hermione's objections to it and had her create SPEW right then and there in that same book, and then just... kinda let it go

      Like that's really unforgivable even just from an aesthetic standpoint, it's a massive loose end Politically it's a real mask off moment Like in hindsight there's no way to interpret how that all went down other than JKR really does get pissed off by activism qua activism

          Yeah, it's really a bizarre botch if it wasn't deliberate. Create this whole system of actual slavery, which rightly outrages the character who's typically your moral center, then dismiss her as whiny and say the slaves want to be slaves.

          The sad thing is, it could have been a good lesson in how to be a GOOD ally--her attempts to booby-trap them to freedom in an I-know-best way without building some kind of safety net for them could have been a good start to an arc--but instead it fizzledhttps://twitter.com/AmeliaRoseWrite/status/1020006232545996802?s=20 …

          It could have been a good setup for later books when they started to uncover the rotten core of the Wizarding World, but then their reaction was to defeat the cartoon supervillain and go back to the status quo. And to point and laugh at Hermione for wanting to change it

          But then I'm not sure if JK Rowling could really write a white feminist learning that trying to help marginalized people means actively listening to them and following their lead, anyway, for some reason
