      After all, the Weasley family's alienation of their disabled cousin was textual from the very first book But Rowling, of course, is not particularly concerned with the voice of the kind of people her beloved Weasleys would alienate, so it's left as a sinister implication

      This is an old fanfic, I've returned to it frequently over the years But with the hindsight of Rowling's aggression towards trans people I can't help but notice all the chilling ways this entirely believable narrative parallels the experience of an actual transgender child

      The perspective of Harry as an outsider to a large family, who's just trying to be supportive of his daughter The feeling of his entire life unraveling beneath his feet as the people he's always loved and depended on, for the first time in his life, become utterly cold to him

      For the first time in his life, he fully understands the extent to which the kindness of his found family has limits, the haste to which his daughter has become completely dead to them, the eagerness with which they urge him to completely abandon her It is painfully authentic

      The way the story ends with Harry's family shattered over the stupidest, most senseless fucking thing His wife having completely abandoned her daughter, his best friend having ghosted him over the family honor, his daughter traumatized and suicidal from her abuse and oppression

      Some people might be inclined to call this a darkfic, and in 2011 you might have been able to sell that argument, that this story exaggerated the injustice of the setting to an extreme But I don't think you can say that anymore This IS Jo Rowling, this is her worldview manifest

      the worst part is this doesn't even feel exaggerated now, this is just, canon this is the inevitable next chapter of the story that ends with "albus severus"

      I like that this fanfic carefully avoids using the word "Squib" because the author realizes the obvious fact that in this universe it's the equivalent of am ableist slur, it's absolutely the Harry Potter equivalent of a word like "cr***le" or "r****d"

      It actually is as offensive on as deep a level as the word "Mudblood", it's just that no one talks about it the same way because Squibs are such a small minority that no one gives a fuck about how they feel

      Like this is outright in the text We are directly told and shown that Filch's life is a fucking living hell and that he's spent his life desperately trying to escape it (all those damn remedial magic correspondence courses) and the narrative sees this but doesn't care

      SO OFTEN Rowling acknowledges someone's pain but just doesn't care She shows us someone's suffering and then gives us permission to move on from it because all their suffering does is upset and inconvenience the people who really matter That's her worldview, that's her ethics

          It's this awful thing - with plenty of irl parallels - where "wizard" is both a cultural identity, a pretty deeply ingrained and fundamental one, *and* a specific set of abilities

          The Wizarding World is a whole goddamn culture totally divorced from the Muggle world and it straight up says people raised in it just can't function in Muggle society at all - look at Arthur Weasley But if you can't wave a wand, then you can't function in the Wizarding World

          The pain Cho feels after the death of Cedric is also depicted in an outright sociopathic way. How does her grief affect Harry's ability to date her? Even with the excuse that "It's from Harry's perspective", it is utterly wretched how she is consistently depicted as just being -

          an emotional girl - and the fact that she can not talk to her friends about it is just glossed over, in favor of "Gee, aren't girls weird!"
