if you're still hanging onto this series in 2023, I question your decency honestly. I could not support this series knowing what a hateful, wretched person JK Rowling is

and that goes double to the doofus in my icon who is thirst-posting on TikTok about people fancasting him as Sirius Black -_- we know you want HBO money but Harry Potter is shit, duder

god lord, i know he is out of a job since his character got killed off and SAB probably isn't going to get another season but that is beyond embarrassing.

I love how, somehow, genuinely believing HP is real is not as serious as being a Snapewife or whaetver Shifting is.

Also I wonder if people know and just don't care; That lady who did the review of the 1600$ Disney 100 Advent Box is just HP'd out the ass and she's in the UK, like she must know what JKR is like at this point.

lmao if you genuinely believe HP is real I think it's serious enough to warrant medical help tbh

but the Snapewives were pretty hilarious too. I'd put them on equal level?

And I AM NOT SURE but I think "shifting" is people thinking they can shift into alternate realities? I am too old to really know for sure

"Shifting" is just having an imagination.

I'd be below level 1 cause I haven't rewatched the films in YEARS!! I use to rewatch the first 2 as a kid immediately after coming home from school!

Hogwarts House is Hufflepuff and patronus is a mink! Which funny I one time misspelled it as "minx" which was very hilarious to the British side of ontd.

I'm definitely a level 1 Potterhead but I've read the series twice and I don't think I've ever looked up my patronus.

I do genuinely love the books and movies, it just sucks what it's become with how shitty JKR turned out to be

I saw someone wearing a Ron costume this year for Halloween and it took everything in my power not to explain about JKR being a terrible person.

The books have a lot of meaning to me from growing up, but I never finished the movies, I never saw Fantastic Beasts, and I'm fine with that.

Fantastic Beasts is such an example on how to take an IP with endless possibilities and run it into the ground.
