What did JK Rowling mean by this?

what did JK Rowling mean by this?

Dismissing Ron's contributions to the team is incredibly sexist.

Women are more important men. If you'd read Harry Potter, you'd know this.

In other words, without Hermione, we would never have been subjected one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously 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.

wtf I respect women now

Yeah, and without Harry Hermione would've gotten raped by the mountain troll

without Harry Hermione wouldnt even exist

"No!"

Or Draco while while Crabbe and Goyle hold her face down in the mud screaming MUD BLOOD! With every violent virulent thrust until he floods her wizards sleeve with his superior seed, zips up and walks away laughing at her proper place at hogwarts.

Rowling is a big time brown-noser. She loves to retroactively make her cast more diverse because it gives her cred with the cool progressive kids without having to do any work.
Nothing to see, move along.

Harry was a cuck who did shit all the whole series with just about everyone else who wasn't a villain, and some who were, saving his life repeatedly.

This.

She was part of his story, not the other way around.

Qabbalah meshuggenuh.

>tfw when even the author forgets how flawed Hermione is in the books

This is true though, harry is the worst protagonist of all time

the most egregious examples is making dumbledore gay

That'll do, user. That'll do.

Movie Hermione was a Mary Sue way before Rey.
Had they been made today they would have rightfully been criticised for it, and probably defended the same way

Just for fun,try to predict what's the next think JK Rowling is going to reveal about Harry Potter? Was Hagrid into scat porn? Was Draco impotent? Are the Weasley twins incestuous?

She meant she has no way to get her shitty main character out of a complication on his own merits

"Don't buy my book if you're a young boy and identify with Harry"

Something like that.

Ron will be the abusive lackluster husband the fandom has been making him out to be for years

...

Harry couldn't die because of the horcrux

The movies also made Ron dumber and removed Harry's snarkiness

>women's only value is serving a man

Hermione was a furry.

Harry was a chad like his dad

...

You messed up the intro again

>blocks Hermione path
She would be trolled to death in every sense of this word.

its a kids book you fucking moron.

so many Adults pretending Harry Potter is more than a Children's book.

Fuck it i love Disney movies more now than i did as a kid maybe because of the nostalgia and sheet but holy hell this shit where people take moana and frozen and the other shits so fucking seriously just kills the goal movies are trying to get at....

>TO ENTERTAIN

WHY THE FUCK is Sup Forums so full of whiney cunty posts about bullshit and bitching


>FUCK THIS SHIT

god damn look at their loathsome nigger faces

What is this expression trying to convey?

Well a lot of adults that like it also act like it's more than a children's thing. I think this is a reaction to that.

Perhaps Harry would have died in the first book without Hermione but I almost died for real after reading what could be considered the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises. Seriously 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.

>anglo actor plays herself
this is not wrong at all

I would pay 1,000 dollars to see Emma Watson re-enact that comic

>trolls with tumblr nose
It all make sense now.

I can't help but laugh every time I read this post.

What makes me more pissed off is that Harry Potter is actually fun so i cant even criticize this sjw bitch

Dubs wasted on a newfag. What a shame.

lol you're a nigger loving faggot.

She means that a hero always can relate on his friends. That she doesnt name Dumbledore, Haggis or Ron is kinda unfair. But you have to spin it to fit it.

Thats gingerrascist!!

>JK Rowling
>without Harry, you’d still be a poor cunt on the dole

Without [fictional character] [other fictional character] would've died in [fictional work]

#vaginapower

OGRED

"Without Cleopatra, Mark Antony would have died of natural causes" and "Without Catherine the Great, Poland would be free" doesn't have the same ring to it

It goes both ways, if Harry was dead Hermoine would also be dead

Turns out the trio of Harry, Ron and Hermoine all had something to contribute to each other in the end, really makes you think

That intro was fine.
It was related to the OP and segued nicely into the pasta. Bad intros just write something generic and call it a day.

oh fugg...

Nah, movie Hermione still has intentional flaws, but they're significantly downplayed compared to the books.
Rey is a next level Mary Sue that manages to eke out Bella Fucking Swan.

Well then that's stupid. Sounds like general Sup Forums-tier and anti-SJW thinking, which is: "I am displeased at a certain item/group/idea, in response I will blow this thing out of proportion and attack vehemently and recklessly anybody who questions me".

>Can't even tell if this is real or not
>Poe's Law now applies to a children's book author

Except that's just a fun and time-tested meme not a vehement attack.

That image triggers me, so I guess it does its job. I read for entertainment and anybody who reads meme books to seem intelligent is an idiot. Hipster-tier shit like Atlas Shrugged should be instantly considered trash if someone suggests it is good.

Ayn Rand has one thing going for her: She worked long and hard on those pieces of shit.

Most people would realize they're dumb and give up but not her, nosiree. That's committment

It's real job is to be an autism test

To be fair while Atlas Shrugged is a horrible book the only reason it gets more shit than other badly written "philosophical" screeds is because people don't like what it has to say.

>removed Harry's snarkiness
This is what annoyed me the most. The books are hardly masterpieces, but they're genuinely pretty funny and Harry makes a lot of great jokes throughout that just aren't in the films.
The books are maximum comfy when they're just about teenagers having banter, who happen to be wizards. The films are way too obsessed with showcasing how different the wizarding world is and exciting the viewer

It's not particularly offensive.

Objectivism isn't substantially different from Nietzche's philosophy.

The latter's got greater depth, though.

I think the real reason Rand gets flack is that she was so influential in American economics, people like Greenspan learned from here.

Why are SJWs and race baiting niggers using fictional stories as if they are relevant to real life issues all of a sudden?

I'll take questions that answer themselves for 500, Alex.

Rowling let them do all this for cash and fame, remember that the next time the sanctimonious shovel face lectures via twitter.

>there are economists that follow Ayn Rand instead of someone like Hayek
Same end of the political spectrum but one of them actually has training as an economist. What the fuck.

>dumb tumblr nigger is a newfag

She's right thoug. She opened the door when they were trapped in the room with Fluffy and then they became friends after that.

She's ethnically French...

What it has to say isn't bad. I've read things that have elements I don't agree with now and then, what makes it trash is that it doesn't have good characters and its story only exist to push forward objectivism. Much like 50 Shades of Grey, it just strokes whoever likes its purpose. It's like if you buy chips that are shit but they donate money to shit like helping dogs so you buy them for that instead of for flavor.

I think it just owes itself to the fact that Ayn writes her stories as narratives, and those work the people reading them into a fervour because they identify with the protagonists who act to represent her economic and political philosophies.

If Hayek wrote more narratives, he would probably have more fans.

>People getting this mad over inclusiveness in a book made for children.

kek

This exactly. All the grrrl power bullshit they put in modern movies and TV shows just ruins female characters, at the end of the day.

It's like these people don't even know what it means to be strong, or they're overcompensating for what they fear they themselves lack.

Without Harry they all would've been killed by the three headed dog. #boypower

Very good, very fast. I love you

Mentally still children

>If Hayek wrote more narratives, he would probably have more fans.
He'd also be less honest and thought provoking.

Without Harry, I doubt they would have done anything dangerous

That would explain why she hasn't degenerated into a troll like most British actresses her age.

that's why we call it fiction

I'm explaining why Ayn Rand managed to get such clout and sway over people who you might think were greater minds, not telling you her means were morally justified.

nobody is on rey mary sue level. she can do everything without training and everyone who has just met her already loves and completely trusts her. hermione iirc never faces a final boss and is basically just your average bookrat dipshit. i cant believe im defending harry potter but seriously rey is that much worse than anyone in the hp series.

I get you Satan, I'm just whining.

She would've died to the troll first, checkmate.

Wouldn't that just be a woman since they could just magic themselves into whatever sex they wanted so it wouldn't matter at all?

it WOULD matter. and at the same time, it wouldn't

fuck off newfag

shes a full on nutjob. Calling her out on twitter for being a virtue signalling douchebag broke her lol

>JK rowling is a shit writer!
>#girlpower

What do you mean? Bella was flawed as fuck

Not intentionally

To Kill a Mockingbird in shit tier triggers me desu, it's a good book for kids to read

That's incredibly transphobic, what's wrong with you? Not every woman has a vagina #educateyourself

I love how it now triggers both the right and the left. What brave times we're in

I was assigned male at birth and I identify as a trans woman that identifies as a cis man.

and without harry potter there would be no hermoine
