Wait! Is this the group that goes around mutilating squirrels?
I do not understand Harry Potter obsession, even if you want fantastical worlds with soft worldbuilding and magic, at least pick a series that makes sense internally and isn't made by a mildly racist neoliberal TERF
!neolibs, it's never been more over.

Lots of people these days will argue that naming the Chinese student "Cho Chang" is super racist.
Please ignore that it's not exactly an outlandish name for a Chinese person.

I would probably have forgotten that Harry Potter even existed if people didn't keep complaining about the terf queen.

Why do people get so angry with Cho Chang when all wizards have funny sounding names like Horace Slughorn, Bellatrix Lestrange or Neville Longbottom?
The only ones with normal surnames are muggle borns/half bloods. Even the Potters were taken out of the pureblood list because their surname was common among muggles.

In all honesty I think Rowling's naming is one of her strongest traits in HP. One look at a characters name and you almost instantly grasp what their personality is and what role they're supposed to play
And yeah you get your Cho Chang or Parvati Patil (or Seamus Finnegan lol) but it doesn't really bother me maybe I'm just a

Maybe it's different across the pond, but Dean Thomas sounds like a WASP, not a Kang.
Her names are generally pretty good though. I didn't think about it, but you're right they fit the characters really well.

The complaint is it's two surnames how could she get something like that wrong OMG so racist etc. As if surnames as first names hasn't been a trend for girls, and especially female characters, for decades.

Yeah, and that Cho is a Korean surname while Chang is Chinese. Whatever, there are no Bongs named Albus Dumbledore neither

Some Asian tumblrina actually whined about this at the time, and leftists were capable of disagreeing with someone criticising the only books they'd ever read back then, even on idpol grounds.
