Mr. Cool Ice is blessed because he's a customized video game character come to life.

He's shameless and is living his best life.

But I bet he's a Nazi because that's the world, I guess.

In his defense, Umbridge's version of "writing lines" involved forcing him to carve the words into his own hand until it left scars that can't even magically be healed. I wouldn't really have much sympathy for her if I was in his place.

yeah she legitimately physically abused children and did so with fiendish glee, relishing each bit of pain like a creepy sadist, leaving Harry with a literal scar which will never heal. I guess we could all be upset that he didn't heal her heart using his magicks and then we all learn everyone's really good in the end and have a good laugh as the credits roll, but that would be bullshit.

like someone else said, the point is, crush fascists. yes it's the hero's cycle blah blah blah but HP was made specifically to be about a supremacist and fascist regime returning in current modern times and the need to fight against adults (rather than obey them), and as such is particularly effective at inspiring kids right here and right now

getting stuck on that one in all the weird hosed up HP poo poo is a strange choice. if we want to start pulling poo poo apart, we could start with how everyone seems ok sending their kids to Murder Castle for their wizard education....

EDIT: I mean seriously after that troll in the bathroom in book 1, that should have been it, the school shoulda closed

Dude, American schools are getting shot up every week and sometimes they don't even close for the rest of the day.

No way an ancient magic academy is gonna close because some dumb forest bumpkin got lost in the bathrooms.

yeah but knife crime island isn't used to that! or is it some sort of social Darwinism, something like if your kid dies welp, guess they weren't meant to be a wizard ethos?

bc Hogwarts is as dangerous to its own students as it is to its enemies. for some reason we question why harry led umbridge to the centaurs, but don't seem to ask why the hell a school full of dumb teens is right next to a forest of easily angered violent horsemen with a homicidal streak

Athletic fit shirts my dude. I was in the same boat re:shoulders/chest to waist/hips ratio, until I found a girlfriend with a sense of style who asked me why the shirts I wore fit my shoulders and had an extra foot at the waist.

I feel like Harry Potter wizards have a totally different sense of morality and injury from non-magical folk. Horrific injuries and diseases that would baffle and terrify us (like having all the bones in your arm accidentally deleted) can be cured with a bottle of medicine and some bed rest, and if someone gets cuts or bruises you just wave a wand and they're back to normal.

If I'm remembering rightly, with Neville since he wasn't manifesting any magical ability as a baby, some relative tossed him out a second story window in a sink or swim kinda thing and no one in the wizard side of things thought it odd.

Holy poo poo it's almost as if Harry Potter is just a derivative, trope-filled but also very entertaining series of book that don't really bear particularly close scrutiny or analysis. The main characters have generic but broadly positive liberal values in an essentially Victorian setting. The AUG bit is when people try to analyse it like high literature. Or perhaps the truly AUG bit is that our societal morals have regressed to the point that lessons like "slavery is bad" or "other races are worthy of respect and dignity" are actually important.

It was my understanding that she's a staunch centrist but if that's not the case I stand corrected and relieved, but also still distrustful based on the whole "Actually, Dumbledore's gay!" thing that deliberately did not answer the question of the fan that asked it.

Edit: I'm a Yank so we have leftists and we have republicans and we have republicans that self-identify as democrats and the only difference between the latter two groups is they choose different titles.
