      now that JK Rowling has torpedoed her reputation for the foreseeable future can we talk about how her books are not actually good

      JK ROWLING: I have invented a fantastical setting that is not really meant to sustain any sort of meaningful long-term narrative! okay time for hundreds of pages of worldbuilding based off my original flawed concepts

      the first couple of Harry Potters are clearly unambitious but perfectly reasonable YA, and then about halfway through the third one she bought her own hype and started believing she was writing her generation's LORD OF THE RINGS

          also, Harry is a crap protagonist, and the weird crypto-racism ingrained into the books' structure is both unpleasant and doesn't make much sense even as an analoguehttps://twitter.com/talestoenrage/status/1269405903062798337 …

          Hogwarts as an impressive facade over a corrupt system is a story that could sustain the direction she took. Hogwarts as a magical school with great adventures could have been fine for a series of YA books with changing protagonists. She ultimately did the worst of both worlds.

          WIZARD SOCIETY: Oh, look at the Weasleys. They are clearly poor wizards, they don't have a lot of money. REGULAR SOCIETY: ...how do you determine wealth when you can all literally just create it out of thin air? WIZARDS: shut up

          but anyway, once you realize that 95% of the wizard characters are, by any reasonable standard, *incredibly stupid* and have to be in order for the plot to work even a bit, etc

          MR. WEASLEY: I'm supposed to be a wizard police, and I am fascinated by the concept of batteries, which I do not actually understand despite their core concept being something little children can figure out ME: is this supposed to be an anti-cop satire? JK ROWLING: no

          ASIDE: none of this really applies to the movies, which took the basic fun parts of the books and then ignored a lot of the parts which were just stupid

          the after-the-fact invention of other magical schools outside of Europe with the level of attention given to an average episode of HE-MAN is sort of par for the course herehttps://twitter.com/AiddonValentine/status/1269408280302039045 …

          Again: these are the sorts of details which are JUST FINE in a light YA story with a series of monster-of-the-book plots. The Harry Potter books stop being that after book two.https://twitter.com/CandyAppleAlly/status/1269408385855664128 …

          people get on Dumbledore's case for not telling other wizards his plans and plots to the extent necessary for them to understand the plans, but it makes sense if you realize Dumbledore's secret power is that he's The One Wizard Who Isn't A Moron
