first of all, you're telling me that EVERY STUDENT falls into one of "nerd", "goody two shoes", "harmless doofus who probably specializes in like plant magic or some bullshit", and "literally evil"??

there's no "jock" house? there's no "art" house? there's no "house music" house???

I don't know how Harry Potter is still around honestly. I get that people enjoy it but it seems like a moment in culture that just wants to hang around. The last book was apparently 2007. If it was just a cool thing people talk about from time to time I'd get it but it's apparently this huge force of culture.

I've heard people liken it to Tolkien and frankly they're complete dumbasses. At least Tolkien inspired countless works. gently caress, even Twilight inspired the lovely erotica book thing. Harry Potter has inspired nothing except milking the same things as eternatum. It boggles my mind.

In conclusion, unlike the world of Harry Potter, literature is a land of contrast and spectrum.

No, you got it right. Harry Potter is a mediocre student who only gets by because of his one smart friend, but he's popular because he's really good at sports.

He's also pretty talented at wizard-fighting so he becomes a cop.

Wry and wise,
but also very sexual.

there's a lot of wizard school books out there. for example, the magicians is pretty good although the sequels get pretty out there. someone should write a book about going to wizard school that goes through all the lessons as well as all the after school drama, because learning is cool and it's important for kids to know that, and also the magic you learn in the lessons works for real in the real world. i think that would be pretty popular

Pervert.
“Hufflepuff!”

Weirdly into origami.
“Gryffindor?”

Steals underwear.
“Slytherin!?”

Saw parents in a BDSM sex orgy.
“Gryffindor?!?!?!!?!”

Had sexual awakening watching Pinnochio when the kids turn into donkeys.
“Oh God!!! I mean Ravenclaw, I guess.”

Fantasizes about sex with horses.
“Therapy!!!!!!”

Has hat fetish.

Harry Potter inspired terfs and liberals probably. I haven't read that trash but it seems to have anyway.

The only message to take away from Harry Potter and any other young adult novel is "You, the reader, are a special snowflake just like the main character and anyone who disagrees with you on anything is evil and will burn in Hell".

please refer to my doctoral thesis on why Ally Sheedy changing into a conventionally-attractive dress at the end of that movie is a hate crime

The best thing I’ve heard anyone describe about Harry Potter is it’s a book for kids that teaches kids that enemy is everywhere. Your friends, neighbours, friendly shop keepers, parents, teachers could all be secret neonazis bent on destroying you and everyone like you that are just waiting for the starter pistol to tear apart your world. Which is uh extremely prescient and of immense utility

The Magicians is terrible because basically everyone in the story is hedonistic assholes. It ruins the message of the story because everything is lovely when you are a hedonistic rear end in a top hat. There is only one likable character in the story. The TV show makes everyone way less terrible. Also, the show removes the creepy scene where everybody has sex as animals that was in the book.

Yeah we really need to beat the idea that they're worthless shits that won't amount to nothing into are kids earlier in life, this shouldn't be a revelation in their 20s or 30s or god forbid during the "midlife crisis"
