so apparently people are getting tired of rowling pandering to her readers by revising shit like dumbledore being gay and hermione being black because "they're whatever the reader wants them to be!"
should this kind of stuff be more strongly implied in the books or the movies at the latest? is it wrong to keep some aspects of the story vague so the reader can make their own interpretations? is rowling a genuine writer or just a hack?

its hard to strongly imply hermione was white any more than what was already there. rowling is just a hack is all
what if for every pander she made to fans, she did something shitty to her characters, like
>dumbledore is gay
>dumbledore is also incredibly racist
>hermonie is now black
>hermonie is also pedophile
would that balance it out?
> is it wrong to keep some aspects of the story vague so the reader can make their own interpretations?
This is ok and sometimes absolutely necessary for the material to have "replay value".
I think it is cool if it is hinted at in the books that Dumbledore is gay, but the fact that Rowling acknowledges it makes it stupid.
Also Hermonie being black is stupid.
>is rowling a genuine writer or just a hack?
Hack.
Her post Harry Potter career has been pathetic. First the comes out with a crappy book people only read because it was written by the Harry Potter author. Then she came out with a book under a pseudonym that nobody read, so what did she do? It "leaked" that J K Rowling wrote it, and suddenly everyone was buying it. Then she goes back to writing more Harry Potter shit. Pathetic.
Like imagine if Stephen King tried to write something new but nobody liked it or bought it, so he goes back to writing sequels for Carrie. That's J K Rowling's legacy.
...
So censorship then? Nazi pig
It would be funny
women can't be pedophiles
Or she just fucking forgot
She's a genuine writer, but throwing shit around like "dumbledore's gay" is just attention seeking now that she's irrelevant. It's also the reason she's doing more HP universe content. Irrelevancy.
It's like she's trying to emulate Tolkien, but Tolkien actually build a huge universe that made sense. Dumbledore being gay doesn't make sense.
>Like imagine if Stephen King tried to write something new but nobody liked it or bought it, so he goes back to writing sequels for Carrie
Or the Shining. Oh wait...
>forgetting her own works
she's not that old
I don't have a problem with dumbledore being gay really. He's a top wiz but for so.e reason we don't hear tales of any wife or old flames? Sounds gay to me.
As shown in the pic in the post quoted though her claiming Hermione beig black is a total fucking cop out, so obviously just pandering. It is painfully clear she always intended her to be a while girl.
All that said I think there is no problem wih the black chick playing her now in the play, it's theatre. People have been portraying other races and genders for centurys, it's not a new idea it's just that HP is fresh in people's minds so they can't see out their own ass
Doesn't matter what race she is. Every character could be black for all I fucking care. Harry Potter is for children, the movies are for children. She could make them all talking dinosaurs. The people she's pandering too are worthless, and the people that get mad about it are also worthless.
Fuck it all.
Bien dicho, mi amor!
She's a genuine writer. There's value in keeping things vague, but it's not a rule. She's just trying too hard to be hip right now, that's all.
i swear in the little sketches that were at the beginning of each chapter it showed hermione an she was def white
but hermione went form smoking hot to shit-tier nig. this is why people have a problem with it
Why were there cats in Harry Potter?
Because JK Rowling is a pussy
Are you implying that Stephen King is anything but a hack as well?
you actually are right also shes on the covers and was always white. i know shes on the us covers of azkaban and half blood at least. someone make a compilation
>dumbledore being gay
To be fair, that was revealed because the director wanted dumbledore to talk about his ex in the 6th film.
glad they left that out of the kino, dumbledore asking harry about hermione was better
>Dumbledore being gay doesn't make sense.
It kinda does. Nigger never had a wife and never banged any chick, while he was pretty much ready to commit a genocide over his nazi buttbuddy
Nigger Hermione is just an insult but I won't let it ruin my waifu
she's a hack...you guys never realised this...sheesh...it was infront of you the whole time...
j rowling=hag=hack
Except that she said that only a few months after the final book was released, when she was about as popular as she had ever been.
...
your just a racist
This shit forever, man. I feel like watchin Deathly Hallows again just for the dancing scene.
Yeah ok fuckstick
This. It was subtext she later confirmed, which is admittedly a bad way to do things. Hermione is obviously playing to fanwank.
that scene was sooo good. love the mood of that film
I don't even think it was later, was it? I don't remember being all that surprised, as I should have been as a younger child. I don't have much of a deal with it either. Him being gay is more or less how it should be handled, I think.
I agree with the Hermione bullshit. She's trying to appeal to the young crowd, it's despicable.
She forgot what one of the main characters of her life's work looks like? Fucking what? I can remember a dumb character I was proud about writing in the third grade. No way she conveniently forgot what she fucking looks like.
>70 words devoted to describing the method by which a guy farts
Stephen King is clearly a god tier writer like George RR Martin, the fact that you imply otherwise is a sign that perhaps his body of work is too high brow for you.
>hermione is black
Also harry is wearing jeans and adidas, never realized that. Triggered clothesfags btfo
> George Lucas-ing
But that's wrong. George Lucas did what ever he wanted despite fan out cry.
JKR is doing literally the opposite of what GL did.
You people are fucking stupid. She's not saying that Hermione was always black, she's saying it's not necessary for a white girl to play the character in a play because her being white didn't define her character.
I realise this is going to be hard for any regulars of Sup Forums to understand though seeing as anything that doesn't vehemently adhere to the "anyone that isn't white is a shit" racist stereotype you all so deeply embroil yourself in gets shat on.
shes doing the same actually bc we are bitching
and more importantly though, her stuff about native americans pissed off people as well
i think she said, "its never specified hermione was white" which is different from what youre saying and is complete utter horseshit
>first they came for james bond and i say nothing
>next they came for hermione
>I protested inside but said nothing
>then they came for my wife and my wifes son and I said nothing
>then they came for me
>noone was there to speak for me
Being wilfully ignorant and accidentally racist about everyone else in the world is just her way of giving the new stuff that special patina of Britishness. People should calm down.
From the article.
>John Green: “[My books] belong to their readers now, which is a great thing–because the books are more powerful in the hands of my readers than they could ever be in my hands.”
Dumbledore is not Gay.
He is just asexual.
stop making Uncle Dumbledore a FAGGOT.
She is a former chad coke whore
>hermione being black because "they're whatever the reader wants them to be!"
Oh you mean like how Lavender Brown's ethnicity was never specified in the earlier books so they cast a black actress but then you specified she was white in the latter books, forcing a recast?
It's almost like SJWism is profitable now but wasn't ten years ago.
Both Lavanders are shit but yeah, this is ridiculous. She literally does everything to stay relevant.
>niggers can have an entire league or two
>but its not racists black people jut play more of those sports than white people they arent over-represented
>white people make the best stories
>thats racist as fuck why dont you let some of your white characters be black, youre over-represented
what. fuck offffffff media
that change wasnt even seven years ago. obamas term has been wew
Pretty sure she was a homeless chav slut on the dole until she got that Potter money.
source jk was a hooker
what did the absolute madwoman did this time?
>Grown ass men discussing Harry Potter
KEK
...
>wizard dinosaurs
i'd watch that
>i intentionally left it vague
>i wanted the readers/audience to make their own interpretation
that's what hacks claim when people point out their mistakes
it's a kids book and I'm not into kids so that didn't even occur to mr
>he doesnt understand works of fiction can connect to everyday life
>he doesnt see the parallels to an orwellian society and the brazilian undertones in the harry potter films
>he doesnt like witchcraft and occults
>thinks lotr is probably better
>movies are for children
youre on the wrong board if you cant deconstruct british cinema
Could be worse. We could be tripfags.
>You now remember they actually had a chance to retcon Dumbledore as gay in a flashback in Part 2 because it was known by then but blew the chance.
Dinosaur warlock movie when?
...
shes an adult in 4 of the films.
Revisions shouldn't be allowed. If an author has trouble keeping plotlines consistent, they're a shitty author.
Rowling is a British leftist
She's absolute fucking trash tier
To be fair all British are, no matter what their political leanings are.
>implying all British politics arent shit anyways and it matters
people act like it was her idea to cast a black hermoine. how do we know they didn't pressure her into it?
Implying not all British people are utter trash. Fuck those cucks and their whore queen.
if you actually read the books, you'd know dumbledore was a wizard supremacist in his youth
dumbledore being gay also completely made sense, especially with regards to his relationship with grindelwald. what upsets me about it is that she was too cowardly to say it in the book and risk sales, but she got pandering points for saying it in an interview later.
That's exactly what I was implying. Nuke the UKuck.
>British Politics
youtube.com
it's like watching a group of Americans when Sheldon says "Bazinga!"
I remember reading a really early interview around when the second book I think was published.
She said Hermione was her self-insert.
>This deflection
More like a bunch of bongoloids just saw a man in a dress fart.
Don't reply to him, shitcunts
baboons
Fuck of m8 I'm a libertarian, which may be worse but at least I'm not a leftist.
You're British and therefore not even people. Don't ever post at me again because you make me want to vomit.
You're just triggered because you found a non-lefty Britbong.
This. Same with Legend of Korra.
I don't exactly like gay characters, but I'll tolerate them. It's when the creator adds it in afterwards with nothing in the original source that actually says it, that pisses me off.
Make Dumbledore gay in the book, fine, but don't ignore it in the book and then just say it in a faggy interview.
...
Top bantz.
Damn son the US covers look like shit
I fucking know rite?
When I was a kid I didn't want to read them because they looked like they were made by 5 year olds
I think you just blew my fuckin' mind.
Swedish ones were based.
>they looked like they were made by 5 year olds
She's a Labour supporter so same thing really.
/ss/
Historically speaking, our modern systems of governance and democracy has censored more information than fascism or national socialism ever did in their entire existences combined, dipshit.
>Something I don't like or disagree with is instantly Nazi Fascism
In fact it would be more accurate to say "Communist pig" or "socialist pig" considering their censorship has been the greatest of any form of governance the world has ever seen; particularly under Mao and Stalin this was rampant.
Fuck off, retard. People who spout bullshit like this genuinely haven't the slightest clue to anything that happened in history.
>Dumbledore being gay doesn't make sense.
It was attention whoring but it does make some sense.
Of course that just makes Dumbledore's past controversial ideals more about how much he wanted some nazi dick rather than about him genuinely believing in them.
>Triggered clothesfags btfo
Even in the first two movies that clothesfag wank to so much, all of the kids always wore regular clothes when not in their uniforms.
>Same with Legend of Korra.
That was a last minute asspull and you know it, both girls spent two seasons desperately trying to choke on some guy's dick and never had an onscreen relationship that went beyond acquaintances.
The sad thing is, the creators used to openly mock shippers when they were making the original Avatar series.
the us covers are actually pretty comfy 2 3 5 and 6 were the best us ones
Right?? the fuck?
I think these are worse.
fight me faggots.
