mc was a cumskin

if he had chocolate skin and there were racial themes at play it would be a masterpiece

most likely a shit troll who's ass blasted he doesn't get any replies whatsoever.

Should have posted it on /pol/, would have got 10,000 angry replies with complimentary 'factual' macros in a split second.

She started to read Harry Potter fanfiction when she didn't even know what it was before. I'm pretty sure I came across an interview where she described the night she discovered it and just spent hours going through all the shit.

It's good YA fiction but it's a bit too bloated. Chamber of secrets was a rehash of the 1st book and could have been cut. Order of the Phoenix didn't need to be 900 pages all that happens is Serius dies and Luna and Beletrix are introduced.

Seriously agree with Order of the Phoenix. It's the only Potter book i can't remember anything from

>> No.7175479

Rowling's magic world has no place for the numinous. 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.

i have always enjoyed the HPB and felt like it had a comfy feeling despite the battle and loss of dumbledore at the end obviously.
i mean in terms of school stuff and rowling's description of the grounds near herbology greenhouses etc.

Resurrection as a major plot point only works if the author is really good.

I think of the King's Cross station bit as a lucid dream and less of a resurrection. It was symbolic for Voldemort killing off the horcrux/evil in harry/child of tom riddle
