Neeksy posted:Harry Potter started out as a cute story for kids that was not equipped to tell a darker, deeper story, nor have its world thought about for too long. That final book was pretty bad, with a hilariously awful epilogue. I remember reading the first 4 as a child and thinking they were fun and then the 5 one was dog poo poo and I never finished any more.

LazyMaybe posted:sad truth of SC is that it'll just eventually "finish" to some degree after many years and be just sort of mediocre instead of a flaming ball of drama and failure Yeah, i don't think it's accurate any more to say there's nothing there, it's there it's just not very good.

Bobsleigh and skeleton are cool as gently caress because tobogganing professionally is something that appeals to 8 year old me. What I really want to see is the noma gt snow racer grand slalom at kitzbuhel

I like that she made asia's magic school in Japan, naming it "Magic Place" run through google translate and having it be the place for Chinese and Korean students study since they don't have their own schools. She's just so good at research!

Harry has a slave, but it’s cool because he’s genetically predisposed to liking it.

Hermione the annoying feminist protestor is a particularly strange joke because JKR's entire public identity before Twitter was being a girlboss feminist.

I like that she also thought to come up with charming slurs for non-magic users, people who should have magic but weren't born with it, and people born from non-magic families. Really adds to the worldbuildings and consistenffffff
