Needed a security camera spell.
If they had scrying spells then Rowling would have to start explaining why they're not using them all the time.
I like to watch moaning merdle take ghost shits.

so glad i went in person instead of watching all the best bits on tv from home
i mean at least its a track so you see them multiple times
rally and cycling gays see them ONCE and then thats it.
at least you see the fricking cars
>at least you see the fricking cars
huh weird, 10 minutes of just empty race way.
if only i could see the cars from home...
but really, how much of the f1 cars do you actually see.
i know i can see more of them and for longer at home
i can get a closer look than you can at the track
This was genuinely baffling to me. They didn't even try to establish that there was a magical viewing screen or that the audience could somehow see through the water/hedge maze. I thought this was because Rowling was going to have someone frick with Harry and she couldn't write a plausible reason why they were able to, like the Durmstrang champion tries to cheat or maybe Malfoy and other Slytherins try to sabotage Harry. But nope, that simple concept never occurred to her, Rowling just doesn't understand how basic institutions work and genuinely thought a bunch of people would want to stand around staring at nothing for 4+ hours.
It's more and more obvious each year that this franchise was hard carried by everyone's own personal headcanon.
>It's more and more obvious each year that this franchise was hard carried by everyone's own personal headcanon.
I think this is true. Every now and then I feel nostalgic about HP (I read the books as a kid) and I watch the movies, and I'm left annoyed by almost every single scene.
I hate Harry, I hate Hermione, Ron is acceptable as a character, I hate the Voldemort arc, I fricking hate almost everything and yet after some time of not watching it, I feel nostalgic again.
Maybe it's as you say. I read it as a kid and it made me fantasize about being le wizard in magical world but when I go back to recapture the feeling there's really nothing there except annoying bs.
>...AND ETERNAL GLORY!
name another triwizard cup winner. Harry didn't win either cause Moody cheated for him.
>someone else puts your name in the goblet of fire
>you now have to compete or you die
The rules are ABSOLUTE.
No one has ever broken the sacred order of the student xtreme sports death tournament. If man does not have tradition he is nothing more than beast.
>Why do the Muggles outnumber us?
It's explained in the books that the only actual dangerous one is the dragon-challenge, and that one in particular only went awry because the dragon managed to escape it's chains, otherwise it would have stayed with the egg. Also they weren't fullsize dragons like the one under Gringotts they weren't full grown.
I haven't read the books in a while, what about the students they hide under the lake? Wasn't the deal they'd be left there if the competitors couldn't rescue them?
its directly said that its not
harry believed they would because he is moronic and was sleep deprived at that moment
Everyone said from the start this particular tournament will be safe
fleur's little sister was one of the prizes at the bottom of the lake and fleur had to withdraw because of the animals in the lake, harry stayed near the 4 after saving his prize (ron i believe) and then cedric and krum got cho and hermione out so he decided to save her sister stretching his time limit of the gillyweed to the end but they made it clear that he didnt have to save her because they wouldnt just have let a little girl die at the bottom of the lake
harry did get a kiss and hug from fleur though so worth
She was literally in a freaking magic air bubble, none of the people at the bottom of the lake would have died, even if you go by what another Anon said about there being an age limit for COMPETITORS, they aren't going to kidnap someones little sister who isn't even over the age of 10 and let her drown at the bottom of a fricking lake. The lake harpies tried to stop Harry from taking Fleurs sister because it was HER task, they wouldn't have known she had given up, Harry knew she had.
i dont think harry knew she had dropped out, he was waiting for her and all he knew about was the predetermined time limit before he went in
he didnt know that she would be safe, therefore that is why he waited down there and then grabbed gabriella, he would have just gotten ron out of there and won if he knew she was a no show/gabriella would have been safe past the time limit
Yes but if he had thought about it for three seconds obviously the Tasks would have volunteered, they were never in any real danger.
I don't remember that at all, I had the movie on the background and Ron and Hermione are told to go to McGonagall, i dont think they volunteered
>Ron and Hermione are told to go to McGonagall, i dont think they volunteered
Gg Rowling way to make it even more psychopathic
>you weren't in any danger, we just abducted you without your consent and dropped you to the bottom of a lake, nbd
>what? 9 year old? so what?
I read the book and Ron calls Harry thick for bringing Gabriella along when he should have just gotten Ron out because Dumbledore wouldn't make the spell last just 1 hour. I still don't think they volunteered but they were told what would happen to them before they were put to sleep at the very least. Hermione also gets teased for being Krum's prize and she got upset over it so I still dont think she volunteered to be his prize
Harry totally got fricked by that event. 3 of the hostages were Ron, Hermione, and Cho and they never told him which he was supposed to save.
Although Harry is the only person in the universe who cares about Ron, so that would narrow it down.
But if they told him then he wouldn't get extra sympathy points for trying to save everyone. It's literally a plot point.
he went for ron right away and when he tried to start helping hermione the merfolk intervene and tell him to leave her so he was told but at the bottom
Its not stated flat out, I'm just saying that's obvious, Cho Chang would obviously trust Cedric, Fleurs sister would trust her, Ron would trust Harry because he knew he had an inside line through Mad-Eye.
ur moronic, the books explain the reason theres an age limit is that champions in the past would get murdered by the challenges.
Theres a bunch of shit in the lake and in the maze that would kill a student
>CHAINS OF TENSILE STEEL
>Also they weren't fullsize dragons like the one under Gringotts they weren't full grown.
in the book Charlie weasely (the guy who helped bring in the dragons to hogwarts) says that they requested nesting mothers. presumably that mean that they were fully grown dragons given that they could mate and lay eggs. though probably smaller than male dragons
>send your kids to a school where students get killed every year and are in danger of being mass murdered by magic hitler
What could go wrong?
It's just a bunch of hormonal teens, spending all their time together, divided up in four teams and constantly competing against each other, in a place surrounded by dangerous flora and fauna, with tons of magical items that they can fairly easily get their hands on - oh, and we actually teach them how to control one another, how to take the forms of one another, how to curse one another and of course they have to learn how to very easily kill one another. And yes, magic Hitler is looking to come back, and we have seen evidence of him being interested in the school, so to keep things safe we're not changing anything of importance and we'll keep not mentioning him at all.
It's ok, the kids are protected by a 150 year old homosexual who happily puts the lives of kids at risk for his schemes
In fairness, only 1 kid died in 6 years. In my old middle school we usually got a death a year.
>In my old middle school we usually got a death a year.
what the heck
Not him but throughout my time in school at least 4 kids were killed around campus by speeding cars.
still better survival odds than a yank public school
I yank to that video all the time
It needs part two.
>send your kid to school
>1st year find out your kid's teacher was actually a thrall to the evil magic Hitler your society thought was dead
>eh, kids gotta get an education if they want a job back to school you go
>2nd year find out some murderous demon is petrifying students and trying to kill them and is considered so dangerous even the most powerful wizard on the planet is suggesting the school be shut down
>eh, I'm sure they'll figure it out, kid needs an education and I ain't homeschooling them
>3rd year find out the wizarding equivalent of Jeffery Dahmer escaped prison and the government is so certain that he's going to target the school that they've let loose a bunch of literal soul sucking demons that were in league with magic hitler during the war onto the grounds that are so out of control they almost soul sucked a kid before the train could even reach the school on the first day
>eh, if our kid loses their soul they'd just mean they'd be an even better government worker just like me har har har
>4th year a super dangerous tournament that's generated so many child sized body bags it was actually shut down by the normally callous government for years has been restarted
>eh the teachers who let magic hitler and basilisks and soul eating demons run around say it's safe and I trust them
Does Rowling secretly hate parents? Or is it a Brit thing to just mindlessly trust your government even against your own common sense even if it puts your flesh and blood in mortal peril?
goblet of fire/triwizard tournament is one of the most moronic concepts ive ever seen
holy frick is it stupid
star wars and harry potter are some of the most moronic concepts ive ever seen
holy frick is it stupid
every thread discussing their moronic shit is moronic
might find funny some funny shitpost
still moronic tho
Could the audience watch what was happening inside the maze? Seems like a bit of a shit spectator experience to just wait for someone to come out of the brush.
why is there an audience for any of the tri-wizard events when you can't see 99% of it?
>"Help, help! Cedric Diggory has been I killed! Yes, Cedric Diggory, my main rival as Hogwarts Champion and object of Cho Chang's affection, has been killed in the maze! Voldemort did it!

What the frick is even the point of Hogwarts?
Not being able to use magic unless you're on school grounds is moronic.
The majority of magic is dwarfed by technology like who the FRICK needs potions? Go the the doctor.
Wizards shit themselves until humans invented toilets yet thing they're superiors?
One of the most awful worlds I've had the displeasure of being conscious while consuming.
I’ve always wondered this like Voldemort ever attacked the muggles wouldn’t we just find a way to bomb Diagonal Alley into Gaza Strip status
it's protected by a charm, no muggle can find it
A heatseeking missile can easily find it
I hope you're trolling
nerdy ass homie. no hugs havin ass. no job havin ass. never so much as brothe in the direction of a woman
>brothe
I don't know why people keep repeating this moronic shit, they have mind control, non-magical people would be fricked.
Is it just an I Fricking Love Epic Science And Technology mindset?
>Implying
Lmao, destroying a fricking brick wall is an impressive feat in Shittypotty.
>The majority of magic is dwarfed by technology like who the FRICK needs potions? Go the the doctor.
Magic is shit in a lot of ways compared to technology, but wizard medicine BTFOs muggle medicine so hard it isn't even funny, that's like the worst possible example to pick.
This, you can regrow fricking bones in a single night. As long as you're not dead, basically any injury that's not caused by dark magic is fixable
not really, they can't even treat the magical equivalent of a gun shot
But they can treat a real gunshot. The dark magic is specifically made to be an exception which makes sense, it would be no fun torturing people into insanity if it could have been cured. But if it's not a magical injury or comes from an accident, it's all treatable. It mogs real world medicine.
how are they going to cure getting shot in the head when they die instantly?
It happens. A gunshot can kill you instantly, the killing curse does kill you instantly.
He’s 37 in that picture
It's not implausible to say that there's probably some passive enchantments on rings or clothes that create a DUNE style anti-projectile field around the wizard. The killing curse, on the other hand, is impossible to defend against using magic and pierces through all magical defenses.
>The killing curse, on the other hand, is impossible to defend against using magic and pierces through all magical defenses
Why? What's preventing a wizard from enchanting a gun to do the same?
You likely could, although there probably wouldn't be much benefit to enchanting a bullet to automatically cast AK upon impact. The spell already travels near-instantly and pierces magical defenses.
the spell can't pierce solid materials, literally just accio a shield or something
With magic 😉
You are shit at arguments
Don't try to discuss something if you can't remember what anon said 2 posts ago
You mean avada kedavra? That's not a gunshot, anon. A gunshot is a slug which enters the body and tears organs, or causes haemorrhaging. Those are things which can be fixed. The killing spell rips your soul from your body.
In that way it's more like an explosion than a gunshot.
It's all a scheme by big wizardry to keep the people uninformed about the muggle world, while creating this wizard culture where you do need to learn magic to get a job. Which you of course have to pay for.
If wizards knew about the muggle world they'd go "oh, wait, I'm not gonna live like the fricking middle ages! I'm gonna get myself a job and some modern plumbing and some internet and watch more than one fricking sport." And if you're able to do just a little bit of magic you're already ahead of every other muggle out there. You could be a great stage magician, or con-man, or healer, or private detective, or whatever the frick you want.
Literally anything in the muggle world, a Wizard would probably be able to use magic to make his life easier.
Construction/manual labor? Just wiggle ya wand n say "leviosaaah" and now you're outperforming 10 Guatemalans.
Use the spell that makes a container house sized on the inside on battery cells and computer memory
The common cold and flu were cured in one minute by the school nurse just by drinking a potion that turned your ears into a steam engine

Actually they mo-capped this with Harvey and Emma and then edited Radcliffe's face on in post
What a fricking moron argument. People die in the isle of mann race all the time. do you think the next time it happens, the guy's friends and family won't cry anyway?
You can die in every single Harry Potter class. Can you imagine Hogwarts now that England has fallen?
Mandrake root ain't shit compared to the Nugglepuffs and Ravenskins fighting.

Those locations aren't real. According to Rowling, there are 10 other schools in the world worth mentioning alongside Hogwarts, a few of them got names and some didn't, but the map itself is pure headcanon.
why no schools in korea/italy/greece
>im so proud to be a student at school #11
what a fricking hack
just put a "???" and be done with it.
Harry should not have participated in the tournament. He was the target of multiple assassination attempts, in the school even. The multiple accidents and strange occurrences during the tournament should have clued in that something was going on.
Harry should have transferred to a new wizard school, since Hogwarts almost seems to want him dead.
THATSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSMMUHBBOOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
What would stop Harry from "entering" the competition but immediately conceding at the start of each round. The little shit wanted the glory.
The same thing that stopped Delacour from just giving up in the second task.
Absolutely nothing.
He ain't no b***h
They say there's a "binding magical contract" and he's "obliged to compete". It's unclear what any of this means.
If it works like the Unbreakable Vow then he has to actually try or he'll drop dead. Can't cheat the magic like that.
the cup is ancient and the magic on it not fully known so they didn't want to chance it
i mean god imagine going to the wizardry cup as some hogwarts schoolboi and getting ruthlessly bullied and dominated and spat on by those snobby and ruthlessly feminine Beauxbaton girls, just sneering at your attempts at manhood I mean it would be humiliating and awful, right?
They don't look as good as I remember...
Cheerleader effect
those are the extras
these are the ones you remember

And the chad Durmstrang bulls dominating the females. Hogwartsissies what do we do?
Weren't these girls canonically supposed to be enchantingly beautiful? There's only two people in the photo I'd even consider attractive. Not saying I wouldn't do them all but Beauxbaton chicks seems to have an average of 5.
You have to remember that they were gorgeous in the eyes of English people.
only fleur and her sister would be because they were part veela. also in the books beauxbatons and durmstrang were not boys and girls schools. they had both boys and girls like hogwarts
these b***hes ugly
there are like 3 girls max I find attractive

Why were the parents still sending them to Nogwarts when the news of Voldemort being back and raising an army was already out?

That is funny.
Government was suppressing it until they saw him alive again
The government and media lied and most of the wizarding community believed them just like with muggles.
because dumbledore was there and they believed he was the greatest wizard alive so he could protect the kids
>He said calmly.
I think they should let all the Hupplepuff students join the Triwizard Tournament, and let them beta test the mazes and challenges first.

This event happened in full view of everyone. If things took a turn for the worse they could fire 30 stunners at the dragon and use magical healing on the injured competitor.
>drowned in the lake
The lake filled with mer-people who were guaranteeing the safety of the competitors. Fleur got rekt by some level 1 fish monsters, but she came out fine.
>choked to death by weeds
Moody was supposed to be keeping an eye on the competitors in case of an emergency. But he turned out to be a death eater.
If the Colosseum was brought back and promised riches to those who could win and the possibility of death to those who failed, you would absolute get a bunch of people willing to attempt it, and a metric frickton of people eager to watch.

how underwhelming
what gay shit would Hogwarts prepare?

There's a guy at my gym always walking around twirling a long stick like this, a bit like Mac from IASIP would do. It's really obvious people want him to stop but I guess he thinks he looks cool?

Must have been auditioning to be one of Snoke's guards.
What were they thinking?
how did they get such a realistic depiction of ziggers back then?
lol no wonder they’re losing in ukraiine
This could've been solved by having them not care and Harry turns to the dark side and joins Voldemort but J.K. Rowling is a woman and couldn't come up with something as nuanced as that. She was just trying to steal thunder from the hunger games hype
I would call troll but I have been browsing harry potter threads for three days so I know better.
>Harry joins Voldemort
lol, not possible
1. Harry would never do it. Voldemort ruined his life.
2. Voldemort has too much faith in the prophecy to ever allow Harry to live.
harry is sane anon
voldemort didn't even have a plan
Lol? Why the frick would he join someone who had his parents killed?
anon the hunger games came out well after both the books and this movie
why was the officially sanctioned detention given to 12 year old children to go with Hagrid to the haunted forest, where he has to be armed with a crossbow? didn't Gandalfdore say the forest was off limits because it was deadly? so if you get sent to detention you can go to a deadly place?
Because Dumblegate is high on skooma half of the time and also that was just poor writing to get Harry to see centaurs or some other shit.
They weren't going very far in, and they were with Hagrid.
The movies do a bad job showing just how OP Hagrid is.
He's 12 feet tall and spells just bounce off him.
He once fought a team of Aurors with his bare hands and escaped.
Another time he fought off a herd of centaurs.
When Aragog died the spiders all tried to kill him, and he got away unharmed with Aragog's corpse.
imagine the anal vore
Hagrid's a big guy
Fleur Floo
Ukranians go to the same school, it's a literal slav melting pot lmao.
It's a Swedish school and the slavs depicted aee supposed to be Bulgarians. East slavs go to the Russian school
I don't think that one is canon.
test
They had people on the ready to jump in when it got dicey there was never a chance of death
the entire book seemed really out of place compared to the series as a whole
>Enchantingly beautiful
If Cedric lived he would've been Harry's best possible pair.
What exactly was Voldemort's argument for being against "mudbloods"? Was there any scientific (or magical?) evidence of witches/wizards born to non-witches/wizards being inferior to others? Was magical talent even inheritable at all? Apparently you could become magical even if your parents werent. Did it work the other way around too, could magical parents have non-magical children?
If magical talent isn't genetic, why did he care?
I know Voldemort is basically just a "le racist" caricature but most racists at least have some baseline reasoning (no matter if accurate or not) for why they are racist. What was Voldemort's "lore" on magical race so to speak?
You gotta have some theory/ideology that at least pretends to have some logic in order to get supporters and ppl to get excited about it and follow you.
>could magical parents have non-magical children?
yes, squibs existed. flich or whatever the school's janny's name was was a squib and couldn't perform magic
voldy was just an evil little psychopath, he even tried to kill kids at his orphanage. he had no actual reason, just wanted 'loyal' followers so used blood purity as a reason to terrorize people. he was iirc a descendant of salazar so he could claim to be wizard royalty
This is honestly one of the most realistic parts of the series. No, it doesn't make logical sense for Voldemort and his followers persecution and hatred of, "mudbloods." But that's why it's so realistic and fits with history.
Voldemort is himself a half-muggle. It's definitely part of some weird self-hating issues.
It's about hating the other, oppressing others and feeling proud in your own superiority.
Ok but he has to sell the ideology to his followers. Whether he really believes in it or not himself. What is his pitch?
If you ask any member of any ideological cult, they will be able to give you a sales pitch. The sales pitch might not withstand any scrutiny, but there's at least some foundational theory for why they THINK their movement makes sense and is good/just/whatever.
If his pitch is just "let's be evil and dominate others", there is no need to make it about bloodlines or whatever. He could have just said "we're the big boys in this town and everyone else bow down".
The pitch is "muggles are inferior, muggle frickers are despicable, and their offspring is destroying our society." That's it, and it is quite enough.
>Ok but he has to sell the ideology to his followers. Whether he really believes in it or not himself. What is his pitch?
Muggleborns don't understand magical culture and keep trying to bring outside shit like rights for our slave elves or that wizard royalty is dumb. Basically mudbloods are shit because they don't adapt to magic culture and because they don't grow up doing magic like wizards in magical families do then they are worse at magic
Interesting take. Is that the official lore or you imagining what his pitch may have been? If this is the pitch, how does "mudblood" being an insult fit in? It implies that their blood is impure, which isn't a cultural statement or one related to upbringing/environment.
>If this is the pitch, how does "mudblood" being an insult fit in?
It means they're race traitors for fricking a muggle and a muggle not having magic means they're subhuman.
>which isn't a cultural statement or one related to upbringing/environment.
since when did it have to be accurate?
>since when did it have to be accurate?
It doesn't but it needs a pretense of being accurate.
I mean think back to any time you talked to some zealot of any ideological persuasion.
There's always some argument they have for why they are (morally) good and you're bad, no matter how uncannily insane the actual argument is.
People wanna think of themselves as the good guys, always. You gotta give them that veneer to make them wanna follow you. You gotta pump up their egos to make them feel like they stand for something good and meaningful, even if its a lie.
Like antifa is really just a bunch of thugs attacking people in the street, but they sincerely believe they are doing it to "fight facism" which in turn they associate with some bad stuff etc. There's an elaborate set of rationalizations that they have to convince themselves that they're doing the right thing. This doesn't seem to exist among Voldemort's followers which is kind of tough to buy into.
>it needs a pretense of being accurate.
it already has the pretense, you come across like you're trying to find reason's for them being right
> you come across like you're trying to find reason's for them being right
I'm trying to find reasons for why someone might be tempted to believe them.
>for why someone might be tempted to believe them.
same reason why people are racist without reason today lmao
It's not without reason though. People become racists when the convince themselves that people of another race are not good people.
Maybe they grow up in a neighborhood of kids of different races and experience a lot of violence as a result. Or maybe they see some propaganda about shit done by people of the other race. This is how hatred against white people is manufactured these days. A constant barrage of unquestioned news stories about white ppl doing horrible shit.
Mudbloods are outsiders who don't know their culture that's really easy reason for racism
>Ok but he has to sell the ideology to his followers. Whether he really believes in it or not himself. What is his pitch?
"You guys used to be great and everything was great, you're all part of these long lines of pureblood wizards. But now things are bad and I'm telling you it's all because of these non-pureblood wizards. They're worse than you, you're better than them, and I'm going to fix the world and set it right and I need your help to do it. "They," insist on putting them into your schools beside your kids and they're all taking your jobs."
One of the fundamental parts of fascism is telling people what they want to hear.
Ok sure, let's go with your line of reasoning here.
The populist tells the masses what they want to hear. Ok why do they want to hear that? Why do they believe they are better than non-purebloods? Why are they bothered by mudbloods? There must be some lore.
>Ok why do they want to hear that?
Because they want to Rvtvrn to the good old days where they could practice magic out in the open and not be hidden
>Why do they believe they are better than non-purebloods?
Because they want to claim superiority because a good chunk are "royalty" so same reason why royalty believed they were better than non-royals
>Why are they bothered by mudbloods?
easy outsiders to hate for not being like them
One of the reasons people aren't mentioning is the same reason why there's racial supremist who hate intermarriage they claim it will "dilute" the purity
>There must be some lore.
There is none. It's racism at it's most basic, the way liberals understand. Just naked prejudice. The very little bit of lore there is, is about the squibs, but it is never proven they're born like that because of diluted blood. It is never proven either diluted blood creates weaker wizards. Anons, and many others, assume purebloods thought that because they try to quantify magic like some sort of energy, when it was never described like that.
It falls apart the moment you try to justify the prejudice. If the blood matter is true then yes Voldemort is 100% justified since eventually "wizard blood" would run out. The plot only works if there's no justification like I said and that no amount of muggle-fricking will make magic disappear for good.
>purebloods thought that because they try to quantify magic like some sort of energy, when it was never described like that.
They did think that way despite it not being true, racism doesn't have to be true for people to be racist
But for example, Hermione was a witch but had neither parent being a witch or wizard. So by definition, one would assume magic by nature balances itself out. Otherwise it wouldn't jump into non-magical bloodlines on a whim.
>Otherwise it wouldn't jump into non-magical bloodlines on a whim.
Clearly those muggles stole that magic just like how israelites steal blood and Hermione doesn't deserve that magic and any squib born to a pureblood family deserves it more.
So how did Harry's mom "steal" it? You're just larping Umbridge's view from the books and it's sad. If the Squib deserved it they would have it
>You're just larping Umbridge's view from the books
Yes that's the point it's to show how people could believe that, muggleborns are outsiders it's easy to hate outsiders like how israelites were frequently hated.
>jews were frequently hated.
But they've done a bunch of stuff throughout history to warrant it.
>But they've done a bunch of stuff throughout history to warrant it.
Nope
Sure buddy, all these disparate peoples and cultures are united by disdain for israelites because of shit they randomly decided to separately make up over a millennia or two.
Because they're always outsiders who don't integrate, that doesn't mean they warrant it just that it's the reason. do you not understand scapegoats
>do you not understand scapegoats
Yeah a scapegoat is a goat sent into the wilderness by the israelites after a rabbi transfers the sins of the israeli people onto it.
>Yeah a scapegoat is a goat sent into the wilderness by the israelites after a rabbi transfers the sins of the israeli people onto it.
not the religious meaning dude don't be autistic, but the throwing someone under the bus meaning
Kek this will be lost on the people advocating for israelite's supposed innocence.
jews were on average more succesfull than others so the hate was more out of spite and to seize their assets
Jews are more inside the US Govt than they could have ever dreamed.
And they specifically call her "muggle-born", the same as Harry's mother. No one else in her family had magical blood, which is why Petunia was so jealous of her and hated Harry.
There is a "wizard gene". JKR has stated this. You need a wizard in your family tree somewhere, anywhere, for you to become a wizard. In the true middle school science fashion it can not go through a spectrum. It doesn't not become weaker or stronger. This means Hermione had a wizard on her family. The irony introduced by Rowling is that blood purity is actually the thing killing wizards, and if they were to just mingle with muggles, there would be more wizards around since you can't become a "half-wizard".
reminder that Harry's Aunt Petunia is livid because she kept asking if she would get a letter inviting her to Hogwarts after Lily got in, and Dumbledore responded with a literal YWNBAW letter, explaining how she would never be a witch. The whole muggle to muggleborn contrast is an amazing trans allegory
>One of the fundamental parts of fascism is telling people what they want to hear.
One of the fundamental parts of fascism is everything. Everything is fascist. Everything is racist, everything is sexist, etc. We get it, you don't have to explain it. You are at war with everything, or would be if the concept of war didn't break your brain (war is also fascist)
a hit dog will holler
>You guys used to be great and everything was great, you're all part of these long lines of pureblood wizards. But now things are bad
What exactly was bad for them? Be specific and show your work munchkin <3
are you moronic? That's the entire point. Imagined sleights and misplaced resentment
>explain and show your work
>actually, the lack of me explaining and showing my work is the POINT, because... they just did that without any real explanation! they just imagined everything
lol
so you are moronic, got it
We have one fella asking what all this means and why, and another fella failing to do so. You're that other fella
>it's about "hating the other"
>voldemort isn't even "the other"
whenever someone brings up "the other" like it's some deep philosophical thought just know that their brain was turned off long ago, assuming it was ever on to begin with
just replace "the other" with "the israelites" and it'll be easier for your /misc/tarded brain to comprehend
Why should I hate israelites? Especially if I am half-israeli? I don't think your sassy retort makes sense.
>nuh uh im a different kind of racist
ok replace israelites with muslims
Why should I hate Muslims? Especially if my dad is Muslim? You haven't explained why people dislike each other or why I should dislike them (or why Voldemort would for that matter).
because racists are moronic and blame all personal or systemic failings on other races because they lack any kind of rational framework for understanding the world around them
After torturing it out of you, all I get is:
>Voldemort was moronic
No. He was poorly written by a liberal white woman, perhaps, but that makes she the moron for not understanding what could have motivated her villain. You're a lot like her
so this whole moronic song and dance was you trying to come up with a way to say "actually it's not real racism because real racism has never been tried!"
i guess you wouldn't be a /misc/tard if you had higher brain functions though
Close, but it was actually a way for me to say "Rowling doesn't understand racism (and neither do you) so her villain's motivations don't make sense." To understand a position is to be sympathetic to it, which is why you cannot actually have this conversation with me.
>you can only write an irrational worldview if you are yourself irrational
ok moron
>>you can only write an irrational worldview if you are yourself irrational
Unironically yes, didn't you read Lewis Carroll and Roald Dahl as a child?
It's just the most basic and naive cope, assuming that somebody who you don't like or somebody who you think is evil is automatically an idiot. That way you can get around having to engage with their ideas while maintaining your own ego about being intelligent:
>as an intelligent person it would be a waste of my time to talk to someone who's as stupid as you
Probably why this trope is pushed too. You can't have people understand that evil people can be intelligent because then people might be tempted to actually engage with those ideas out of curiosity.
I agree. These types of people who act as you describe only view "goodness" as an expression of "correct" opinions and nothing else.
>noooo actually im smart im not actually a fricking moron despite my inability to comprehend a book for mentally disabled children
>He was poorly written
it's a book for literal kids
did you what expect
unironically what he wants is for voldemort to be shown being right because he doesn't like the idea of his own racism being portrayed as irrational.
>kids media should be shit
Incredibly bad opinion. There are good kids books and their villains aren't poorly written.
unironically what I want I have directly asked for in each reply, Mr. "I won't sit here and explain it to you but I will sit here and still reply to you and everyone else in the thread"
>so many people have superiority complexes without being superior in an way
...why? Why do they do that? What motivates them?
>"I don't understand! Why are these ignorant people holding ignorant opinions that aren't based in any provable facts?!"
Yes if I was a Harry Potter I probably would ask that question too lol... it sounds like a perfect question to ask in fact... might save a lot of trouble...
>There are good kids books and their villains aren't poorly written
and the average doesnt (like harry potter)

narcisism

Is that the only explanation for behavior? It's either cold logic or sheer moronation that motivates people? No.
>It's either cold logic or sheer moronation that motivates people?
yes
>It's either cold logic or sheer moronation that motivates people?
Yes you fricking autist, people are not robots they have flaws in their thinking everyone has inconsistency in their morals
Anon... this one actually is a little embarrassing for you.
If you say "yes" to "it's either cold logic or sheer moronation" then you are saying that people ARE "robots" (cold logic) or morons (sheer moronation).
I don't think you meant to say yes to that one.
>then you are saying that people ARE "robots
the frick are you talking about how can being moron make them robotic when they are being irrational and robotic is rational
reddit tier argument. embarassing
I wasn't making an argument there. In fact, I haven't made an argument this whole thread
>I probably would ask that question too lol... it sounds like a perfect question to ask in fact... might save a lot of trouble...
It wouldn't they would just ignore you lmao
Nah I'd be all like "excuse me good sir but shouldn't we be #creampiemaxxing all the muggle women? Magic genes are apparently really strong and awesome, doesn't sound like wizard culture is at any risk of any sort of nastiness or bad news whatsoever my good fellows.
Sort of like how if all your friends were gonna jump off a cliff but you were like hey let's actually get ice cream. Sounds like a sick deal.
Harry was raised by muggles in the muggle world and comes from a muggle born mother. Are you asking why he didn't question if he and everyone he knew was destroying wizard culture?
>Especially if I am half-israeli?
because some people are self hating
>Why is that man eating an apple?
>because... some people... eat apples...
great insight, do you have a whole ass college degree or somethin?
isn't even "the other"
the frick do you mean he wasn't
>Voldemort hated himself
>but he also hated "the other"
>because "the other" was... himself!!!!
whoaaaaa that doesn't make any sense but whooaaaa
What if you were like, not you, but like a spoon or a fork, and someone used to eat a meal? That would be very different from what your day is usually like I bet! Did I just blow your mind or whaaaat?
you are really getting hung up and angry about the idea of racism existing
I'm fine with racism. Anyways why does all this heckin' racism exist? Use your words.
He hated his muggle father for leaving his mother and thus hated being part muggle.
But why does being "muggle" status matter to him at all if he's already magic? Rowling never explains why blood matters when all wizards and witches have the same aptitude for magic (or at least, blood has nothing to do with aptitude). Riddle hating his absent father does not an inner justification for muggle-hatred make.
>But why does being "muggle" status matter to him at all if he's already magic?
because he has a superiority complex and his dad was a muggle who he hated
> Rowling never explains why blood matters when all wizards and witches have the same aptitude for magic (or at least, blood has nothing to do with aptitude)
because wizards blame social problems on blood impurity because they are irrationally looking for someone to blame
>Riddle hating his absent father does not an inner justification for muggle-hatred make.
??? Yes it does???
>he has a superiority complex
he just does, okay. No. Why?
>his dad was a muggle who he hated
yes
>wizards blame social problems on blood impurity
what are their social problems? this was never addressed in my first post and hasn't yet a million replies later. And why do they default to an irrational explanation instead of a rational one? Don't they want to solve their social problems (whatever they are)?
>??? Yes it does???
So if your bike was stolen by a black person, you'd hate black people forever? Make it make sense, I thought you were against racism.
>what are their social problems?
mudbloods are taking pure blooded wizards' powers
but there isn't a limited supply of magic or powers ever stated...
>If mages are genetically superior then nonmages are harmless but they and infact a mage supremacist should aspire to MAGE the entire world and Voldemort looks like an absolute moron.
tfw no witch will ever MAGE you 🙁
>but there isn't a limited supply of magic or powers ever stated...
"I don't understand! Why are these ignorant people holding ignorant opinions that aren't based in any provable facts?!"

wtf that mean
>he just does, okay. No. Why?

I'm not sitting here explaining the basic plot of the story to you. Go watch it yourself.
>And why do they default to an irrational explanation instead of a rational one? Don't they want to solve their social problems (whatever they are)?
Because irrational solutions are easier and stoke baser emotions
>So if your bike was stolen by a black person, you'd hate black people forever? Make it make sense, I thought you were against racism.
I think you may have misunderstood the fact that Voldemort is supposed to be wrong and bad.
>I'm not sitting here explaining the basic plot of the story to you. Go watch it yourself.
Just say you can't explain it man it's not that embarassing, unlike this "go watch eight movies" shtick
>because irrational solutions are easier
this explains your responses to me- you are telling on yourself, not Voldemort or Rowling.
>Voldemort is supposed to be wrong and bad
This is you trying to dodge being accused of racism (smart) and accidentally proving me right.
this anon does not want to engage but he still needs to feel smart and good, so his reply doesn't address or say anything. The villain is bad because... he is bad! I'm not like him because... I'm the good!
You keep talking in circles to avoid actually addressing anything about the actual story. All you're doing is making yourself mad at a strawman because you want somebody to asspat you and tell you actually racism is good and rational. I'm sorry that you're too goddamn moronic to watch a children's movie but this has just cemented my view that all /misc/tards should be gassed.
>you keep talking in circles
I'm literally only asking the same questions because they aren't ever answered.
>making yourself mad at a strawman
But I'm having fun
>tell you actually racism is good and rational
But Voldemort is the villain, so that doesn't make sense. Do you think it's good and rational? Who should I be racist against and why?
>I'm sorry that you're too goddamn moronic to watch a children's movie but this has just cemented my view that all /misc/tards should be gassed.
Now that's just ironic, because HITLER gassed the israelites... and /misc/tards like HITLER... so if they are gassed... it's like... what HITLER did... but they LIKE him... yeah...
>Who should I be racist against and why?
whites because they are the scourge of the earth
>he just does, okay. No. Why?
Why does there have to be a why? so many people have superiority complexes without being superior in an way
Rowling didn't explain shit because the explanation can get her in trouble and ruin the book
Mages obviously have mage kids basically all the time, this is clear to everyone reading the books. Squibs are rare.
Meanwhile regular human society proves that nonmages have nonmage kids.
Some mage arise from nonmage couples but not even consistently, Harry's mother was a mage and her aunt wasn't.
If you can add two and two you will realize this means that at some point enough interbreeding could ruin your magical line. Seems like mage genetics are strong because apparently mage+nonmage equals mage kids and here is what Rowling didn't bother to explain more because it could seriously harm her story.
If mages are genetically superior then nonmages are harmless but they and infact a mage supremacist should aspire to MAGE the entire world and Voldemort looks like an absolute moron. But if enough human blood can ruin your magic capabilities that makes pureblood elitism reasonable which goes against the themes.
What is clear is that magical talent once you're born a mage doesn't seem to depend on your heritage.
illiterate-kun....
Holy frick he was "the other" the whole time... "the other" was coming from INSIDE THE HOUSE
you are really getting hung up on the concept of otherization. Why does this cause you so much emotional anguish? Wanna talk about it, champ?
>otherization
I don't what this is! You don't explain it!
>Wanna talk about it, champ?
YES
E
S
It is a liberal English woman's view of racism. In her eyes racism is totally illogical and is based entirely on people thinking "different skin color bad". She has created a magical racism that operates on that principle.
>squibs
Squibs are born into both non-magical and magical families. I think at similar rates too.
>But that's why it's so realistic and fits with history.
I have to assume this is bait, but people generally had pretty concrete reasons for disliking other races. You can argue that they weren't correct, but pretending they didn't is burying your head in the sand and that makes you look moronic.
There is no reason. Voldemort is evil because he is evil. He is No Heart from Care Bears. If he had never found about being the heir he could have just as easily genocided purebloods for the fun of it.
Doesn't matter what he believed. What did he tell his folowers to convince them to follow him? He must have at least given them a pretense of an excuse for all the shit he wanted them to do. Anything at all. People need that rationalization hamster so they can tell themselves that what they are doing is good.
Wizards in the Wizarding world grow up magic and to them all the cultural stuff is obvious while muggleborns have to be taught all that and start from a disadvantaged place so therefore they're clearly naturally subhuman despite wizards having privileges, plus muggleborns get to live in the real world and they can't and wizard society keeps shrinking so they seem like invaders
You never watched it? The purebloods wanted the muggle-loving c**ts gone. They believed muggle-borns were impure for having muggle blood. It is really never expanded, despite what anons are saying. The purebloods wanted muggles fricking gone. That's all. Voldemort adopted that because he thought of himself superior due to his lineage. People followed him because he was very talented.
I hate watch the movies every couple years so yeah I get that rough outline but like you say I don't recall it ever being expanded upon which is disappointing. It would make the conflict much more interesting if the bad guys at least had some pretense of reasoning behind their actions and weren't just "le evil cuz snake symbol".
>What did he tell his folowers to convince them to follow him?
He intimidated them or promised them power and influence. He could be charming if he wanted, but once the full extent of his powers became known people flocked to him for no other reason than the fact that he was powerful.
He hated his non-magical father who abandoned his magical mother after she love-potioned him.
>All bad things in the world are the result of men who abandon their baby mommas.
Real subtle Rowling.
Well when Dumbledore visits him as a child in a human orphanage he already has delusions of grandeur, he knows he can do things other kids can't, he can take their stuff, scare them, transport them places, all without any magical learnings/teachings whatsoever. So when Dumbledore comes and says that he's different he already knows, and when he gets to school he realizes it's all bullshit and is already 20 years ahead of everyone else just by virtue of being a psychopath. The setting is there, even if it was a bit hamfisted.
Would you (if you aren't a desperate virgin) stay with a woman who love-potioned you and made you have a kid with her ?
The guy was right if you omit the abandoning the kid part but even then he didn't want him in the first place.
It's the witch's fault and if rowlings think it's the guy's fault she's fricked up
Harry Potter is autobiographical wish fulfillment for Rowling.
Hermione is how she sees herself
Pansy Parkinson is all the girls who were mean to her in school.
Tom Riddle Sr. is her deadbeat baby daddy who dumped her before she was famous.
one of the funniest parts of this is that Ron is explicitly based on a real guy (who she has done interviews with!) and her self-insert married him
It's hard to say since the way Rowling wrote about magical talent is stupid, but there are some examples within the story that could be taken as evidence.
Voldemort's maternal family was able to maintain the ability to speak Parseltongue due to inbreeding.
Hagrid gained resistance to magic from her giant mother, but that resistance is not described as equivalent to that of a giant.
Professor Trelawney was the descendant of a famous psychic and that was the reason Dumbledore agreed to give her a job interview.

Squibs are more common in muggle-born and mixed marriages
Squibs are the likely source of muggle-borns, because Squibs can have wizard children even if they don't possess magic themselves. So a Squib can blend into muggle society, marry a muggle, then a generation or two or three down the line a muggleborn kid is born and they have no clue how they got magical powers.
There isn't really a sign of whether or not magical lineage = stronger magic though.

A popular theory from where Blood Purity Ideology came from was from the witch hunts way back then, but it wasn't about blood purity but rather "we should hate the muggles because they will kill our kind", but due to the Statute of Secrecy and muggles not feasibly being able to kill wizards anymore, it morphed into "we should hate muggles because we are superior to them". Bigotry from fear to bigotry from paranoia to finally bigotry from ego.
Why are so many people not able to understand simple kids book racism, it's really not that complex or hard to grasp.
the triwizard tournament was banned for a reason but apparently there were more safeguards in place this time. The part that made Cedric's death so bad was that he was killed by Wizard Hitler.
Wizards are moronic though
>he was killed by Wizard Hitler.
Wizard Hitler resurrects himself during the triwizard tournament and has his follower (who has also been dead for 13 years) kill the one person who is in competition with Harry not only for a prize worth more than the average wizard family's net worth, but also for the affections of a woman.
The only person who could have said otherwise is the psychotic son (who was also supposed to have died in Azkaban) of a missing and disgraced ministry official . This individual had his soul conveniently sucked out by a dementor brought to the school by the minister of magic.
Sure buddy.
>a prize worth more than the average wizard family's net worth,
Harry was already rich as frick
>The only person who could have said otherwise is the psychotic son
He got truth potioned as soon as he was discovered and the real Moody can vouch for being a hostage
>He got truth potioned as soon as he was discovered and the real Moody can vouch for being a hostage
The only people who witnessed the "confession" are Harry, Dumbledore, who is probably grooming Harry and doesn't want him to squeal, and a guy who was a simp for Harry's mom.
Moody is a known crackpot and you're trying to tell me that Albus Dumbledore couldn't tell for the entire school year that his best friend for decades was a death eater using polyjuice.
No evidence they were best friends, at most they interacted due to the Order of the Phoenix and Moody was officially an Auruor, giving them a spy within the Ministry (along with Arthur)
Close friends and with a long enough history that it would be impossible to fool Dumbledore for so long.
Face it, it's a cover-up.
Dumbledore and Fudge don't want their golden boy Potter to be labeled a murderer, and Dumbledore especially doesn't want a murder on school grounds again.
Snape and Moody are willing to do anything for Dumbledore.
In weird fanfiction they make up reasons for why the blood racism is actually right and it sounds like it came right out of /misc/ kek
>THE DAMN MUGGLEBORNS ARE ERASING OUR ARYAN WIZARD CULTURE
Think the trope is "pure blood culture", it's some batshit hilarious stuff
in the fanfics how do they make the racism real?
Basically what I said in green, like the muggle-borns are diluting true wizarding culture (which usually is composed of a bunch of pagan stuff like Sanhaim and Yule and for some reason lordships and nobility) and it's all a ploy by Dumbledore (in this case ~~*Dumbledore*~~) to destroy proper wizard culture and traditions, tends to include Death Eaters being woobified, Voldy-wank, and Harry fricking some Slytherin character.
there was some evidence that there was supposed to be a female slytherine friend for the trio at some point. Would have been interesting if that had happened.
Ginny was shit and Luna was better
Based fellow Daphne Greengrass enjoyer.
I've read so many fanfics with her she's so fricking good
>Daphne Greengrass
never heard that name before
Yeah that's her I think! Where did this information come from in the first place? Rowling is a huge moron who likes to pretend her stories popped out of her brain fully formed.
It would have been nice to have a "good" slyterine, and would have made the last books more interesting. Especially the scene where they arrest all the Slytherines.
Mafalda Prewett was her name, would come in the same year as Ginny and Luna and be like, the Slytherin informant to the protags (like passing info from the Slytherin house to them) and be an academic rival to Hermione.
Prewett>Pruitt would have been a distant relative of Harry's, no?
From Ron actually, Prewett is Molly's maiden name before she married Arthur and got the Weasley name, so she probably would've been like, Ron's cousin 2 times removed or something.
>someone makes a harry potter video on youtube
>they have to open it with a disclaimer that they don't hate troons
it's so fricking tiresome
>Interestingly, Muggle-born witches or wizards are more likely to produce Squib children. It's also believed that Muggle-born witches and wizards could be descendants of Squibs who married Muggles, introducing the potential for magical ability into the bloodline.
kinda weird how Rowling made the blood purists right about mudbloods
Half right. The wizarding world would have been better off with blood purity main wives and impure concubines to proliferate the magic genes.
the second dumbledore actor was weird and came off as kind of a dickhead but in retrospect was probably a better actor for the character because Dumbledore ended up a huge butthole
It also makes no sense that the Minister didn’t believe Harry. Because the implication then is that Harry murdered Cedric and even if they thought he did it’s established that they can check wands to see if the killing curse was cast. Stupid plotline.
Daniel Radcliffe played Sarah Gadon's boyfriend once and Robert Pattinson played Sarah Gadon's husband once.
You ever notice how despite being this massive castle, hogwarts only has like 70 students. that's like two classrooms at an average american city public school these days. for a whole castle
Well of course. The years covered by the story are exclusively from children born during the deadliest wizarding war in British history.
was it really a "war" though? i haven't read HP in a long time but i can't remember any explanation of what voldemort actually DID during his original misadventures. i know he killed a few people and harry's parents but that's not much of a war, wars have battles
She should've had a bigger role
>it can't be racism because real racism is factually correct
this anon was just saying other anons were seething about fictional racism btw (by the way)
jk rowling has a responsibility to write a book where Tom Riddle coolly explains the sins of the contemptable muggle and their degenerate corruption of wizard society and the pureblood cause and she could call it "my struggle"
