Pray tell, what is the point of rebooting a beloved saga whose last movie was released not even 15 years ago?

The movies are far from perfect in terms of book fidelity (although I still think the first three are absolute gems) and I get that a series of seven seasons would give the books proper justice but the Wizarding World is NOT just about Harry, Ron and Hermione.

There are so many interesting stories, so many things the movies failed or didn’t have time to show. Yes, Tom Riddle, I’m looking at you baby.

Besides, Daniel, Emma and Rupert (as well as many other actors) are so iconic in the collective imagination that a recast is an absolute suicide imo.

This is what I meant when I said I will hunt down HBO if they recast young grindeldore in the Deathly Hallows. Someone said “well Jamie and Toby are too old” duh?! I know they’re too old to play teenagers, I simply meant i can’t and won’t imagine or consider anyone else playing Albus and Gellert.

Also RIP Fantastic Beasts, I guess.

I keep seeing stuff about the hogwarts game and honestly. It's not hard to not spend money and not pirate stuff. I do it every day. If you want to spend money on stupid shit, give me the 60 bucks so I can pay my phone bill

Did they store part of Delilah's soul in Laudna bc that would be. Very funny and frankly kind of predictable. I hope it's something else.

Play Wizard 101 instead.

@babs0987 and I decided that my deamon/fursona would be a chicken. The more that I think about it the more that I love it. Bawk bawk, motherfuckers!

J. K. Rowling and Neil Gaiman are such a funny contrast to me, like Rowling: Oh, and by the way, I put gay characters in my books. People: Is there anything... showing that? Rowling: No. Also trans women don't deserve respect People: wtf Gaiman: Here are some immortals that transcend all human concepts of gender and attraction who use a variety of pronouns, and also some clearly canon human queers. People: Are the immortals queer? Gaiman: That is an entirely valid way to view them. Other people: Ugh, pushing a modern woke agenda. It used to be- Gaiman: Fuck you

One of my fave narratives of the writer's strike was watching every studio-friendly Hollywood news source go ":( this movie was delayed due to the mean ol' strike", meanwhile random Wallace and Gromit-obsessed Twitter account DiscussingFilm would include "because studio executive, [executive name], refuses to pay workers fairly out of greed" on literally every piece of news, no matter how tangential to the strike, and anyway I'm pleased to see they're still at it

I thought Tumblr would enjoy this

If people are sad about The Wizard Facism game coming from someone you used to look up to and admire, may I suggest an author whose books are filled with nuanced characters and strong, dynamic women?

Tamora Pierce has been writing since the 80’s and has two worlds of magic and fantasy and bonus!!! Isn’t a transphobic POS.

with the new pjo show im hoping the percy vs harry debate will finally die since it will become increasingly obvious that it actually does not matter who would really win in a fight cuz percy is simply so much cooler anyways

I'm having Harry Potter thoughts and honestly, Drarry is such a shit ship.

Like, am I writing a fic with the ship? Yeah. But I'm literally changing the entire fucking story.

Canon Draco is not welcome. He's a little prejudiced shitface, even if he is a child. I'm basically creating a whole new character that just shares his name. There is absolutely no way I can bring myself to write him being such a vibrant bully because I can't think of a narrative where I could even convince myself, let alone anyone else, that anyone he hurt would forgive him because the shit he's said is so beyond fucked up. I know I sure as fuck wouldn't let it slide.
