It kind of makes sense that Harry wanted to fight for the status quo in the wizzarding world though because the muggle world had treated him absolutely awfully. Well his family did but Harry was a kid so it makes sense he'd want to leave that all behind and fight for the magic world that made him Jesus.

I'm gonna give it to that OP, it's a liberal dream. What really changes after voldemort's death? He's still going to have supporters. Extremists.
Maybe Rowling is really just taking the piss with her fans for this.
What matters is what events he could actually remember that made a big impact on him. He doesn't remember that a wizard murdered his family when he was a baby, he remembers his aunt, uncle and cousin treating him like complete shit ever since he could remember.
As soon as he finds out about wizards he starts getting treated as a mesiah, heaped with love and admiration just for existing. It makes sense he'd want to be a wizard fbi when he grew up in this context.
I'm not saying Harry Potter is super good or deep or anything, just that this op image is making some hefty leaps in logic when it suits him.
Does anyone have the image of that post from MyPostingCareer breaking down why Harry Potter is so appealing to young liberal women? That's still the best take I've seen but I haven't seen it posted in forever.
Harry Potter like K pop is sexually non threatening. There's never any real inner conflict with Potter. He's not even a impressive wizzard by the standards of that book. He just gets lucky or relies on his friends to bail him out. Then after defeating Voldy he becomes a cop.
I honestly don't get how people can love the Harry Potter movies when they're so lacking in consistency and uniformity. I can understand liking one of the movies, and certainly I like some of them, but liking all of them seems a stretch. The first two are childlike and wondrous, the third is full of realism and drama, the next couple suddenly get serious, and the last few are drab and grey. How can one person love all of these things despite how different in both quality and style they are?
They are very simple movies to watch. I rewatched the azkaban one after like 10 years a couple of months ago with my gf, and while that used to be my favourite it really wasn't as enjoyable as I remembered. Might rewatch goblet of fire soon to see if it holds up, I liked that one a lot as well back in the day.
well, it's obviously true. You can't debunk it. Game of thrones was the same. They are fighting for the status quo and after they beat the winter monster and daenerys they go back to it. Nothing ever changes. They even had the scene at the king's council table that was a copy of similar scenes in first seasons, literally banging you in the head with a message that nothing ever changes.

Whats wrong with enslaving elves? They aren't human? What's next, Harry is a slave owner because he keeps his owl in a cage? Or is that ok cuz the owl is white?
>libs not organizing insurrectionairy and disruptive activity
I get that this post was from 2017, but the libs were on damage control duty for his entire presidency. To the point where they were flip flopping from pro-ww3 to non-ww3 and anti-vaccine/mask to pro-mask depending on what trump just said or did. Not to mention all the "peaceful protests" that didn't damage anyone's property or hurt any person and were clearly not pushed by those same libs.
If anything the liberals have become so radicalized that they make Marx look like a moderate.
>To the point where they were flip flopping from pro-ww3 to non-ww3 and anti-vaccine/mask to pro-mask depending on what trump just said or did
All of this was because Trump and his supporters were (ostensibly) a threat to the status quo - the status quo where gay/whatever fotm sexuality rights were steadily gaining ground, the status quo where women were surpassing their male counterparts in every aspect of life, the status quo where the US was becoming even more globalized and multicultural.
In reality Trump was basically establishment but kind of rude. However that doesn't matter in American politics because it's all about your team-my team dynamics.
Not reading that essay, buddy.
Fricking summer newhomosexuals I swear
Not an argument
Why would anyone be stupid enough to argue on here? You'd have to be a complete dysfunctional moron.
You rang?
Man, I'm not reading that shit. The least you could do is not post a squashed image from an iphone.
This post is embarrassing.
>Unironically expecting anyone to read your blog.
Can you imagine the irony if it turns out magic is real but he refuses to see it?

Rowling isn't intelligent enough to be that subtle.

He is said to be really good at defense against dark arts, but that is just beecause he has had more experience fighting off dark arts than most
i love the harry potter movies
that and LOTR is my favourite series
you people are mentally ill with your politics

Goblet of fire was where it all went to shit
Agreed, it was the worst movie despite being one of the better books.
