Bro it's a children's book set in a fantasy world, calm down
it starts off as a children's book and grows up to be a competent adult story. Rowling's takedown of Sturgeon by comparing her to twilight was hilarious.

its funny since emma watson's career flubbed with the beauty and the beast remake and she seemingly lives off the rowling royalties. that said, dont know too many people irl who care about these actors outside of the wizarding world.
 
She clearly thinks these successful 30+ year old actors should just shut the fuck up and be grateful to her forever because she wrote the books that movies they were cast in as children were based on, as if she came down from the heavens and gifted them with millions of unearned dollars
well, they should, and she did
This is the response she gives when they try to say something nice about her, just another hystrionic, classless screed from this shriveled cunt's castle.
no, it's the respond eshe gives when her side finally wins and normal people stop treating biology like it's fairy dust
Tell me, if Rowling had instead dedicated the last 5 years to causing a violent white genocide, what response would you want from the actors? Should they just be quiet when asked and grateful that they got to be movie stars?
I love this line of logic from midwits, as if the two things were comparable at all. No, trannies killing xemselves is not as tragic as Charlie Kirk getting shot. No, calling troons men doesn't approach the level of genocide. The actors are insane because the supported something that goes against nature, while believing themselves to be in the right.
 
I do wonder if the meddling with Hermione's character is one of the reasons Rowling wants a do-over. While she did famously have a lot of hard red lines, she would inevitably have had to give way to demands by the production team in order to keep the whole project running. We have no idea how much of the change to Hermione (especially giving her so many of Ron's lines) was her active choice and how much was her caving to executive meddling.
Both Harry and Ron’s characters were given a pretty raw deal in the movies. Harry existed as some wonder kid with little idea on how the wizarding world worked, while Ron was treated like an idiot that couldn’t control his emotions. Meanwhile, Hermione was made to be gifted at everything except Defense against the Dark Arts, and conveniently figured out most of the mysteries for Harry and Ron to act upon. Hermione was made into a Mary Sue type character before Mary Sue types really took off in the 2010s.

You bring up a good point that there could have just been a fair amount of executive meddling in the movies, especially for the budget they were given. IIRC, JKR had a lot of say on the casting decisions, but it could be possible that the way characters got portrayed was more in the realm of what the directors and producers wanted at the time. She was a best selling author by the time of the first movie, but she didn’t have nearly the amount of money she does today because of the royalties and merchandising.
 
Ok kinda random thought just occurred to me but has anyone looked in to whether there has been a link established between the infamously fucking depraved and autistic Harry Potter fanfiction community of yore, specifically those segments which overtly seethed at Rowling for not having the underage characters be aggressively rawdogged in every chapter not writing the books in line with their retarded shipping fixation/personal fetishes/generalised sociopolitical idiocy, and the later troon wave that became fixated on hating Rowling which acted suspiciously similar to this previous sphere right down to the obsession with fucking kids parasocial and absurdly overblown hatred of an author for not writing the way they want them to write
Idk how common it is, but a few months ago I found a schoolteacher with RDS who writes gay HP fanfic about the teenage male characters crossdressing. FBI should check her hard drive and her messaging history with students.
As a slight change from the usual Xitter users and YouTubers, here's a Redditor who would rather find out her husband cheated than be told that her favorite children's author has opinions she disagrees with. 495 heckin' updoots for this insanity.

I agree with the broad strokes, but I respect her for weathering the storm and not flipping to being "based" and throwing out all of her ideals wholesale. Her money insulated her from the worst of it, but it still would have been much easier to either flip sides or just back pedal. I'd like to think she learned a thing or two along the way, but just the fact that she is human and has some semblance of principles is a lot easier for me to relate to than someone who just so happened to have a come to jesus moment the second they get pushback. She probably will eventually go back to advocating for dumb bullshit I hate, but in this case she has handled herself admirably imo. Probably easier for me admittedly since I am more of jilted leftist rather than any kind of conservative, but tenacity is just something I value no matter where I see it.
Precisely. At any time JK Rowling could have back-pedaled on the trans issue. She's proven she has guts and she's not afraid to speak her mind in the face of public pressure. I don't agree with her on everything, but I'll generally listen to what she has to say and consider her beliefs even if I don't agree with them.
 
I think he doesn't have as strong an urge to girlbully as Watson clearly does
Watson fancies herself an activist. She fronted #HeForShe at the UN.
Neither did Robbie Coltraine, and trannies were actually celebrating when he died. Evanna Lynch didn't disavow Rowling either, and had to disable all her social media accounts after getting berated by trannies.
I watched Nuns on the Run this weekend. Robbie was great. Odd seeing him so young. It was on cytube

Without Harry Potter, Emma wouldn't be shit. She knows that and that is why she continues to use Rowling as a prop to advertise herself, be it as a trannygender rights advocate or as a tolerant person who loves even those who disagree with her.
This is the response she gives when they try to say something nice about her, just another hystrionic, classless screed from this shriveled cunt's castle.

Why should they cuck their own opinions when she pitches a fit about this topic as loudly as she can every day of her life? Rowling did not kowtow in infinite gratitude to her queer fanbase when they asked her to please maybe talk to someone outside mumsnet, she just made fun of them. I think Watson and Radcliffe could be an awful lot more harsh.
You sound like a bitter tranny queer. Are you a tranny queer?

Whenever I perused some of the more infamous examples for my own morbid entertainment back in the day I was always struck by the hard undercurrent of entitlement the authors oozed as to how unfair and immoral it was for Rowling not to write the stories in line with their masturbatory fantasies where the (underage) character they identify as fucks whatever (underage) characters the authors have the hots for, which now that I think about it fits almost perfectly to the sexual entitlement troons have with regards to the fictional women they identify as being able to fuck whatever women and girls they have the hots for, and whining about how unfair and immoral it is for them to say no

this is precisely the stance to take on someone that you see stand up for their values, regardless of how fashionable and accepted they are.
she took a lot of shit for a single progressive point she disagreed on in a sea of common ideals. it was honestly crazy to watch happen.
 
I am a multi millionaire celebrity who never has to work a day in my life again but I will only ever be remembered as Harry Potter
Does he say that? I seem to recall him going a more "I'm Harry Potter, bitch" route that I always thought was funny. Is he not doing that anymore? If not, that's pretty lame of him.

I don't buy this because I don't believe JK Rowling would be alright with the titular Harry Potter being turned black. It's not "niggers can't be wizards", it's "the focal themes of this book involve a kid from Surrey" which are about as far away from being black as possible.
The entire point of Harry living in Surrey is that he hates it there and feels out of place. Making Harry black makes no sense not because of where his aunt and uncle live, but because one of his parents is a pureblood British wizard and the other one is a pale redhead with a blonde sister.
 
HP's world building was incredibly shallow. Like, really really shallow.

No it wasn't. Those books made millions of children read, and read a lot. It's a pretty big miracle seeing your nine year old drop all screens and games and read a 500 page book and then anothet. If you know of any other books who can do it, please tell us.
 
Back in the day I always found Rowling sucking up to immigrants and rapefugees to be unbearably cringe, because I hate when rich celebs act like the rest of us should open our homes to rapist browns from shitholes but not one of their many homes.
But I will give her this over Watson, Rowling has known what it was like to be destitute at least at one point in her life. Watson is a spoiled brat and would never be put in a position where she has to deal with these mentally ill faggots. Not in public, and certainly not online so long as she and the other safe and pampered celebs spout the "correct rhetoric". The fact that she tried to reach out to Rowling in private is proof enough that these people don't mean a thing they say. It's all public appearances and they'll happily throw others under the bus to preserve themselves. Ghoulish behavior!
 
The live action version was just corporate slop, even without Emma in it. It wasn’t as poorly done as Maleificent, but it still left a lot to be desired. Also, I don’t get why they had to add a whole girl power arc to the movie when Belle as a character was plenty strong on her own (in the original, she wasn’t just some wallflower, and stood up to both Gaston and the Beast at different times). Emma definitely didn’t make the movie better, but the entire creative direction was off. The only casting choices for that movie that I liked were for Gaston and LeFou.
It was atrocious. Stilted acting, over busy designs, and a complete failure to grasp the characters and their romance. I wanted Gaston to win.

The whole teaching the girls to read was Watsons thing because she was trying to push world wide literacy for girls (a fine goal) in clueless, elite ways such as making it a theme for a movie those girls and their families would never see.

The original Belle character was not considered odd by the locals for reading, but for obsessively reading fantasy and having an eccentric father and even then she was still liked.

What's even more insulting towards the legacy of Beauty and the Beast is the oldest written version was WRITTEN BY A WOMAN. IN FRANCE. PRIOR TO THE SETTINGS APPROXIMATE TIME PERIOD.

"Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve was the French author who wrote the oldest known version of the fairy tale Beauty and the Beast (La Belle et la Bête), first published in 1740 in the anthology La jeune américaine, et les contes marins."

I didn't even pay to see the movie and I'm still furious.
 
I am oddly reminded of the casting for the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. Douglas Adams set only a couple specific requirements -- Arthur and Trillian had to be British -- and then everything else was up in the air.

So they cast Mos Def as Ford, which worked a lot better than I expected. So I guess the precedent was there.
Ford had been black before. One of the points of all the different versions was they all intentionally contradicted each other. The books contradict the original story from the radio drama, different editions of the books contradict each other, the TV show contradicted the books and radio series, the Infocom text adventure contradicted everything else, and so did the movie.

Hell the books contradict themselves chapter to chapter inside the same editions.
