Hello Readers,
I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while but I’ve
taken my time with the post to try and be as respectful as I can. I was Potter
fan. I was at boarding school when the gained popularity, I went to the midnight
launches and I’ve been to the studio tour multiple times, what I’m trying to
get at is that this isn’t a hate-filled post and I was a huge fan but as more revaluations
where with each added revealed I lose interest a little more. Here are some observation I have
made since the final book and film release.
I have come to the slight conclusion that JK Rowling is damaging her franchise for the original readers. Like come on…. be
honest did we need to know what happened before plumbing at Hogwarts the
thought never crossed my mind.
I will support LGBT rights till my last breath but
Dumbledore being gay it honestly feels like this reveal was once again an
attempt by Rowling to seem inclusive without ever actually including
representation in a meaningful way. If I’m honest a way to make the second
Fantastic Beast movie more interesting. I am honestly so frustrated that
Rowling seems to be trying to get points for having diverse characters while
never actually including much diversity in the books in the first place. Recommendation alert if you want diversity go read The House of Night series.
Uncle Vernon supporting Brexit. If you take both the films and book
timeline into consideration this is completely irrelevant! I'm sorry the battle of Hogwarts was in 1998 which means
other than the epilogue the story has finished the world is closed we don’t
need this added information on current political issues.
Nagini being human, let's take a second to remember that
wormtail has to milk venom from Nagini's fangs and feed it in
a bottle to Voldemort in order to keep him alive (THINK link huh? its a line). On Twitter, Rowling
explained that Nagini is a human and a Maledictus, not an Animagus. Her
condition is a blood curse that only affects women, and one that Nagini has no
control over. Also lets remember Lord Voldemort could also possess Nagini, like
he did on the night where Arthur Weasley was attacked in Order of the Phoenix the implication of this are creepy!!!!!! Nagini was first introduced in Goblet of Fire
the book was released in 2000 fast forward to last year when it was revealed
she was human in the Fantastic Beasts:
The Crimes of Grindelwald trailer and again this seems like a way to make
the second Fantastic Beast movie more interesting.
The last one annoys me the most, information released on
Pottermore went into a long backstory on McGonagall that mostly focused on her
love life instead of her abilities as a witch. The woman who took control
during the battle of Hogwarts and one of the greatest female role models from
the series! Rowling turned her into a scorned woman’s whose marriage to a muggle
didn’t work out. While including information about her romantic life isn’t
necessarily a bad thing, it is weird that most of the new information about the
character was about romance and not how she became the woman we love and
someone I looked up to.
Oh I almost forgot, one of the biggest revelations in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of
Grindelwald was that Credence Barebone is actually Aurelius
Dumbledore, the third, youngest, and lost brother of Albus and Aberforth.
This makes no sense considering that so much of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was
about Dumbledore’s family and all of the information about his family was
already revealed. Oh, and to get really pedantic the dates don’t add up, Albus’ father would have been in Azkaban and his mother would have already been
dead at the time of Aurelius’ birth.
