oh can we only talk about things that matter??? is that it??? is that how this is gonna go?? FINE

im going to go watch "ZOMBEAVERS" tomorrow

Oh we can totally talk about things that don't matter. That's this entire thread. I'm just saying it doesn't matter what Rowling says now compared to what she wrote then. She has changed her mind and if she wrote the books now they could be different. Gulag, you can believe the hat works however you want.

The mechanics are secondary to the narrative. It's magic, it does whatever it needs to do to push the plot where the author wants it to. I never said she was a good writer, just that she owns her own fantasy and it does as she says.

do you think greedo shot first amoeba

Amoeba102
Jan 22, 2010

Funny, I almost used that as an example.
Depends which version you watch. I do prefer the characterisation of Han where he shoots first. Less of a sap. But both versions are equally valid interpretations of the narrative. Han can shoot first or second, just choose what you prefer - it doesn't matter which. Canon is meaningless.

It's like when adaptions don't stick 100% to the source material. I'm not screaming "THERE WERE NO ELVES AT HELM'S DEEP!" because I just see the movies as an alternate version of the same overall story.

It's Schrodinger's Blaster. Han shoots both first and second till you watch the movie and the waveform collapses.

I've always wondered what Voldemort's endgame was if he had defeated Harry Potter. Based on his meddling in the West Country and the intrusion of Dementors into everyday life, he doesn't seem content with just ruling Magical!Britain. Does Lord Voldemort want to rule as a shadow government over the British Muggles, or is his goal to destroy the Statute of Secrecy and rule directly over both domains?

I would also ask if he's expansionist and whether the rest of the Magical World plans on doing anything about Magical Hitler, but we don't know much about the magical community outside Harry Potter's life.

Voldemort was plotting to bring the world's greatest evil to the wizarding community: Obamacare.

Yeah, but how he goes about it is important. Is he going to go for a shock and awe campaign, revealing himself in horrific fashion to stun the Muggles into submission, or does he have his followers subvert and infiltrate Muggle governments so as to avoid real resistance?

The guy never really struck me as subtle, so I assume the former. Attempting to secretly subvert foreign countries would probably fail when people start asking important questions, like why the Lincoln Memorial been replaced with Merlin sitting on a throne of skulls and weeping children.
