This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

In all seriousness, this is what happens when you write novels without doing any world-building and just put down whatever seems "fun". The are sooooo many things in that series that make no sense once they are superceded by later plot devices. Rowling didn't think any of it through ahead of time and gave almost no thought to internal consistency with previous content when she wrote new things.

It's honestly a terrible series in most regards and it's kind of disappointing how popular it became.

Also she a trans-hating bigot. Fuck J.K. Rowling. Can't forget that part whenever discussing her or her work.

All true, though i still found it fun to read when the books came out. At that age my critical thinking skills were not as developed yet, and since that age group is the intended target audience the popularity is not that surprising.

I mean, I totally get it. There is just better stuff out there and it sucks that she got lucky when otherr, better authors don't

Yes, I liked it too but I'm not under the false impression that's it's a genius work. It's a kids book that kids like and many adults enjoy too.

She's a hateful awful person. Many people are.
