chad always wins

Don't have shitty-ass black hair

Snape and James both had done shitty things in the past. Yeah James was a bully but Snape was a wizard nazi. They both grew up eventually

Don't be a masochist cuckold that watches over your ex-childhood love's husband's son and whilst also starring in easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

It’s supposed to be a tragedy. But Snape is ultimately revered as a hero at the end.

>wizard nazi
Was he? I'm only half way through book 5.

This is why I keep coming back to these threads. Thank you.

No he wasn't, he only pretended to be. I think that user is misinterpreting the movies.

>have a crush on a girl when you're 11
>stay obsessed with her for the next 30 years, despite the fact that she married the chad who bullied you and had a kid with him
>be an asshole to her orphan son 11 years after she's killed by your boss for absoltuely no reason

snape being considered a hero will never make any sense to me

>"No!"

He didn't bully everyone. just Snape

I didn't realize how good this pasta was until I saw it posted on /tg/ and half of the replies were genuine anger

No Snape was a Death Eater and only turned on them when they targeted Lily

He was a hero because he was a loyal beta bucks to lily (rowling's self insert).

A woman wrote it so obviously she gets CHAD

he was edgy because 'muh bullying' and when they targeted his princess he turned all white knight and shit.

I thought Hermione was her self insert?

I'd self insert into either of them any day.

James and Sirius treated Peter Pettigrew like garbage, they turned him into a rat.

JK has more than one self insert character.
