The most unbelievable thing in that film was a woman of color, being the president of all magic or whatever the gently caress in the US, being a social conservative. Why? There are lots of extremely socially conservative women of color.

I never got into Harry Potter. I think was out outside of the target demographic. The first film came out when I was in my senior year at university.

The most unbelievable thing in that film was a woman of color, being the president of all magic or whatever the gently caress in the US, being a social conservative. Unless the characterization in the book was different. It's less the fact of it, because many marginalised people in history have reached power and carved out an exception for themselves, and more that the diverse make-up of the wizard government (and the way they're treated when they turn up at the final confrontation) seems to code them as the vanguard of a progressive future, despite the fact that they're clearly fascists. It's like a modern version of J. Edgar Hoover being the hero in Annie.
