      In order to be able to have lesbians in Harry Potter you'd have to start by having women who interact with each other at all https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1309227021214638080 …

      Interestingly the question of whether the books/films pass the Bechdel test seems to be quite controversial:https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/227963/does-harry-potter-pass-the-bechdel-test …

      The Bechdel Test is much less meaningful for books than movies, since novels are generally much longer in wordcount than movies (*especially* JKR's later doorstoppers) and you can throw in a random interaction between two characters without it costing you any money or effort

          And yet even so, it is telling looking through the books and seeing just how uninterested JKR is in female friendship Like sure Harry is our viewpoint character and everything is through his eyes but it's still really blatant

          Who the hell would Hermione invite to her bachelorette party ("hen party" in the UK)? You can barely make a guest list based on other girls she theoretically knows, who have names in the text, never mind characters she actually has any developed relationship with

          I don't disagree - though I was referring more to the fact that it's not an unequivocal pass for all of the books. Given that the author has the stamina to write 900 words (albeit for adult fiction) you'd think such random dialogue between characters would come easily to her...

          The Bechdel moment that springs most to mind is Molly and Bellatrix fighting, but I don’t remember if Bellatrix even says anything

          Also, isn't the point of the Bechdel test that it's a comically low bar which too many movies still fail to clear? "Passing" it doesn't make you a paragon of representation.
