Why did Hermione’s parents (who are both dentists) figure it’d be a good idea to send their daughter to a school to study magic instead of college?

Because you can literally regrow teeth with magic. Think of the dentistry possibilities.

Because J.K Rowling is a woman and as a woman she doesn't think of details, this gave the birth to 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.

What an uninteresting pasta.

>sending an 11 year old to college

??

SEETHING.

t. J.K Rowling

She could still learn "Muggle Studies".

That'll get her into the STEM fields.

Good question. What happens if the parents refuse to send their kid to Hogwarts? Dumbledore sends Hagrid to steal the kid anyway? They are still able to perform some rudimentary magic but are not bound by the magical law?

I'd rather read Harry Potter than this long ass post

Stretch your legs somewhere else.

Because as actual educated muggles they probably realized the money making potential magic has, and how it would give their daughter a good life.
>tfw imagining their face palm when meeting Rons family and being told they are poor as fuck barely able to make a living

Muggle Studies is more like looking at Muggle culture, like finding out what televisions do, how cars work, why don't people in magazines, photos or comic books move, etc.

because it's made-up horseshit for children and retards.

They wanted to avoid her becomming a brainwashed feminist in college.
Just imagine how annoying she'd be..

t. Reddit

I never got why it would be hard at all for wizards to find that out or grasp those concepts. It makes no sense. Truly lazy writing.

Don't most wizards live in the real world though? Why wouldn't they know how any of this works?

>child has the inate ability to do magic
>nah fuck it lol lets send her to regular college for no particular reason and completely fuck her in life

She doesn't give a shit about the muggle world, she practically abandons her parents. The parents don't even have a speaking role in the books, they're just mentioned occasionally, contrasted to the Weasleys, where each family member is given focus. Once she goes into the magic world, she never looks back, she graduates from school and eventually becomes the minister of magic. I don't get what the problem is here, why would she go to a muggle college when she has so many job options and friends in the magic world?

I guess only purebloods and some halfbloods live completely isolated from muggles, doing shitty magic government and spell shop jobs.
Any muggleborn would probably much rather live among muggles and use their magic to live an easy life taking advantage off muggles

yikes
someone really dropped the ball on that one
>mfw my sister tells me that she really loves watson because she was so brave to talk to the un and brings really important issues to light

I really doubt the Wizengamot considers muggle parents of witches and wizard as more than trained animals or curiosities. I'm guessing it's obliviations all around.

>Vaporize niggers
>Or I dunno learn how to do c++ thats real useful

Why would anyone want to live around muggles? All it means is you can't do magic at home.

You're starting to get more autistic than BANE posters.

You're not allowed to use your magic like that and they have shit to detect it, and will come and wreck your ass for it.

Why won't you grow up?

Harry could tell that Voldemort was standing right behind him. He felt a great overreaction. Harry tore his eyes from his head and threw them into the forest. Voldemort raised his eyebrows at Harry, who could not see anything at the moment.

"Voldemort, you're a very bad and mean wizard," Harry savagely said. Hermione nodded encouragingly. The tall Death Eater was wearing a shirt that said 'Hermione Has Forgotten How To Dance,' so Hermione dipped his face in mud.

Ron threw a wand at Voldemort and everyone applauded. Ron smiled. Ron reached for his wand slowly.

"Ron's the handsome one," muttered Harry as he reluctantly reached for his. They cast a spell or two, and jets of green light shot out of the Death Eater's heads. Ron flinched.

"Not so handsome now," thought Harry as he dipped Hermione in hot sauce. The Death Eaters were dead now and Harry was hungrier than he had ever been.

***

The Great Hall was filled with incredible moaning chandeliers and a large librarian who had decorated the sinks with books about masonry. Mountains of mice exploded. Several long pumpkins fell out of McGonagall. Dumbledore's hair scooted next to Hermione as Dumbledore arrived at school.

The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and places his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."

The wizarding world has managed to make socialism work so they send their kids to school for free

I find this to be more coherent than HPMOR and rate it a 9/10, see me after class.

The Ministry is inefficient as fuck, and considering shit like love potion is unregulated you could get away with nearly anything

>Redditors unironically getting triggered by the dullest franchise pasta

Prove they don't pay a tuition fee. Pro-tip: you can't.

The Weasleys were the only poor people at Hoggywarty, and they probably got theirs paid in exchange for going along with the plan to love potion Harry and Hermione.

Thats because you're not truly reading
You're imagining a shit movie in your head

what the fuck

>Pro-tip: you can't.
Just ask JK Rowling on twitter and i can guarantee you that within the next day, that the HP universe will be canonically a socialist paradise

>>tfw imagining their face palm when meeting Rons family and being told they are poor as fuck barely able to make a living
Ron's family is only poor because they have so many kids and only their dad works.

Even then, they live so much more comfortably than they otherwise would on one income because of magic.

We're the only people who matter. He's never going to get rid of us," Harry, Hermione, and Ron said in chorus.

The floor of the castle seemed like a large pile of magic. The Dursleys had never been to the castle and they were not about to come there in Harry Potter and the Portrait of What Looked Like a Large Pile of Ash. Harry looked around and then fell down the spiral staircase for the rest of the summer.

"I'm Harry Potter," Harry began yelling. "The dark arts better be worried, oh boy!"

kek
What is this?

They weren’t that poor, they just had a shitload of kids

Watson was cute as a fucking button, even from the first movie damn.

And how did her parents find out about the magic world in the first place?

fucking normies man

They send a big fat oaf with a beard and a magic umbrella who will turb you into a pig if you don’t go to the school.

Which is obviously BS, harry potter is set in a boarding school in rural Scotland, the fees would be fucking £30k a year

Someone had a bot write a chapter of Harry Potter

>Ron's Ron shirt was just as bad as Ron himself
Agreed.

LOL

why are all the threads you make so garbage mobile poster?

Yeah she really was adorable. I was/am a year older than her so I fell pretty hard. It's a real shame.

“I’m taking your daughter to a random school somewhere north for her to learn magic”

Sure thing, you seem like a perfectly reliable and trustworthy individual with no malicious intents whatsoever, here’s our daughter.

>tfw used to work in a retail store that sold shit that was even more trite and retarded than this

>Even then, they live so much more comfortably than they otherwise would on one income because of magic.
At which point does/did technology and the economy in the (western) muggle world raise the standard of living of the average citizen above the average wizard?
They have magical dish scrubbers; we have dishwashers
They have flying cars and brooms; we have planes
They can teleport, shapeshift, become invisible.............we have computergames and the internet
I guess with magic being so static the muggle world will be way more attractive in terms of standard of living/power/variety of stuff you can do within the next 50 years

You tell me, manchild. I bet you've spent several hours today alone, convincing people how much TLJ sucks. You're more obsessed than any fan of these franchizes.

Her acting in the first few movies was surprisingly good. Then (((something))) happened.

nah he's wrong. that kind of interest in muggles is for hobbyists like mr weasley.

muggle studies is more like philosophising on how magic and non-magic peoples should interact. probably produced something like wziard sociologists who had a say in where and how diagon alley would be placed and the biggest question of the day would be should muggles be made aware of magic especially in light of imminent danger from voldemort

...

She was cute as a kid, and turned insanely hot when she grew up. I'm not complaining, but Hermione was really not supposed to look that good. In the books she is described more as a plain jane or a like girl next door.

She lost interest after the fourth film, she wanted to drop out during the fifth but decided to stick around for the sake of the production and the series

this is very true

I will be forever mad that the fucking hack Rowling paired her up with Ron.

You can do magic once you reach age 17 in the muggle world, it just has to be done secretly.

The only reason Hagrid was sent to take Harry to Hogwarts was because Dumbledore knew the Dursleys were destroying all their letters, and were deliberately stopping Harry from going, so they needed the big guy to muscle the kid away from them.

Any other muggle-born is recruited by a Hogwarts teacher, like McGonagall. For example, we see little Tom Riddle get picked up by the then-teach Dumbledore.

>Ron was standing there and doing a kind of frenzied tap dance. He saw Harry and immediately began to eat Hermoine's family

And probably also the shitload of money she made.

I understand that, but I disagree.
I'm bitter that she didn't throw LunaXNeville a bone.

Ron bullied the shit out of her and friendzoned her from the very first moment they met on the train.

Only reason she got paired up with Ron was because Rowling decided to turn the sixth novel into a fanfiction shipping fest filled with fanservice

Let's not forget that Hermonie makes her parents forget that she ever existed.
What a fucking bitch.

Perhaps the problem is because your magic magic world has no place for the numinous, Rowling. It is written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons, and the exaggerated (more exciting, not threatening) mirror-worlds of soaps, reality TV and celebrity gossip. Its values, and everything in it, are, as Gatsby said of his own world when the light had gone out of his dream, ''only personal.'' Nobody is trying to save or destroy anything beyond Harry Potter and his friends and family.

Did she learn math, history and other subjects during her years in Hogwarts?

Even in the movies, Radcliffe and Watson have infinitely more chemistry than fucking Grint.

Because dentistry fucking sucks.
t. dentist

Only the first three films are worth watching after all, the fourth one was interesting but definitely a turning point.
The rest was shit, Rowling’s milk cow and the actors grew tired and bored of their roles

Math yes, but just magical history.
She could probably cash in on writing books on how magical and muggle history overlap.

It really stank of her Rowling scrambling to find a love interest for Ron to wrap up the story.

You know how you can tell it's made up? British dentists. Two of them even!

>Only the first three films are worth watching after all
Is it because you have the brain of an adult child?

Don't you guys make absolutely mad money though?

how many hours of your life have you spent making these laughable posts on Sup Forums and arguing with people about how much you dislike HP, Marvel, SW etc? I'd wager far more than 1500 minutes. Just think about that for a moment and reevaluate your life choices.

Except that the pairing had been set up for books in advance, even if Rowling regretted it afterwards.

I personally thought it started to pick up with Goblet of Fire. 1 - 3 was a bit of a slog when I rewatched them last month for the first time since they came out.

Shes a terrible actress and always has been

jobs suck (probably even magical ones). Better than being a slacker and unemployed.

>The password was "BEEF WOMEN," Hermoine cried
THIS HAD ME ROLLING ON THE GROUND LAUGHING WITH TEARS FUCKING STREAMING DOWN MY FACE. WHY DID I LAUGH SO GOD DAMNED HARD AT THIS?

That's when if changed from Magical adventures at magical school to War against Voldemort.

I have a feeling hogwarts doesnt take no for an answer

The first three were comfy as fuck
Even the fourth one was comfy in a twisted way
The rest felt like a Twilight saga starring Harry Potter

>adult child

t. special snowflake

So no one is going to post the pic?

why didn't Hermey the elf just live with Hermione's parents instead?

>Except that the pairing had been set up for books in advance
There was no indication of it whatsoever. In fact Harry seemed to want Hermione more of the two, he was focused on her during the Yule Ball while Ron was pining over Krum.

fpwp

>I guess with magic being so static the muggle world will be way more attractive in terms of standard of living/power/variety of stuff you can do within the next 50 years
Is it really so static, though? The series mentions new spells being created and Fred and George own a joke shop that does pretty well because of their inventive magical gags.

You'd figure if they could apply that capacity for magical invention to gag gifts, they could also apply it to useful things.

>The pig of Hufflepuff pulsed like a large bullfrog. Dumbledore smiled at it, and places his hand on its head: "You are Hagrid now."
