I, as an obese child, hated myself because of Harry Potter

Do people actually believe there was a time before Harry Potter than people like :!marseytrain:s and, now, fatties? Pretty and detached from reality.

Fat kids have always been bullied because it's disgusting.

These books were not written to be read as gospels lol

I doubt very much that indigent chav Rowling was thinking about her cute twink boywizard and realized, Someday series will be studied by children in place of scripture or books intended for adults.

She just thought, Lol Dudley farted fatly lol gross. We've got grownass adults feeling betrayed that their kidlit is shallow and isn't eternally sensitive.

Everyone born after 1850 was born bereft a soul.

Letting your child get fat is child abuse and should be grounds for loss of custody.

Have you tried, just once, not being an exaggerated grotesque ripped from the pages of a British children's book?

Please, please just try :marseybegging:

If I can do it, so can you (me on the left before my glow-up).

I still find it incredibly cringe, how all the leftoid soys that lived nothing but Harry Potter, turned on it after J. K. Rowling Terf-ed. It may not be good, but I know that if it was written by an Ally we wouldn't hear any of these criticisms, or they would be framed as being "of the time".

For a kids book :marseyrowling: it's actually good, the problem has always been the adult fan base not the source material. :dumbledoreagony:

I have only seen the films, so I have no informed opinion on the quality of the books. With how popular they got, they couldn't be that bad.

As for the films, I really liked the early ones. First 3 are kino. Goblet of fire is a guilty pleasure. Rest is mid.

The books are better than the movies. I enjoyed them. Just not, yknow, religiously.

Yeah the movies aren't great, they don't really capture the impact of giving a child a long fantasy book and allowing their imagination to run wild. At least for me, I read Harry Potter beginning in elementary school and midnight book releases being a community event and the novels a constant topic of conversation etc was a gateway to further reading rather than just staying in a stunted YA atmosphere forever.

Plus for our Christian bros, they're a good mid point between CS Lewis and Tolkien while retaining the core essence of Christian fantasy in most regards. Her inspiration was largely pulling from the more explicitly Christian Tom Brown's Schooldays and the Victorian era boarding school genre it began.

For religious, cultural, and personal reasons alike I'll defend Harry Potter.

:marseymid: children's book. The Neverending Story is the superior choice.

My assumption that you were ranting was a gift because your reply was incoherent. There is no point in discussing the morality of a given piece of literature/art/media in a modern context because you can explain racism/fatphobia/xenophobia, etc. without the need to reference decades-old books. If you want to discuss the pitfalls with your children if you allow them to read the books, then that's your prerogative. Clogging up a subreddit full of adults, school marming and moralizing about decades old books is 100% futile.
