This comment section went downhill in a hurry. I'm locking this post for a while.

Edit: Unlocked.

    Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I knew who she was but not about any of this. I read one or two of the books when they first came out but never really got into it. Also thank you for pointing out that just because someone does not know about the thing you like, does not make them a troll. I just wanted to understand the image.

    The bathroom thing was just so stupid.

    It contradicts the lore of the books.

    The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was literally built in a bathroom. She could have just said it was a Roman style bathroom that was later retrofitted to be modern.

    And Dumbledore let's Harry know about the Room of Requirements by telling a story about how he once needed a chamberpot. A magic chamberpot? Sure. Makes more sense than shitting himself.

    Even the actors of Harry and Hermione (not sure about others) came out and said that they would have nothing to do with a Harry Potter continuation or reboot if JK Rowling was involved

    Source on this? Curious because the only thing I can find Radcliffe saying is "I'm very excited to see what other people do with it. The comparison I've made is to a story like Sherlock Holmes. I think the Potter series of books was always gonna be bigger than one interpretation or one franchise, so it'll be cool to see the torch get passed on."

    Hogwarts Legacy was a beautiful game. Sucks it's linked to JK Rowling still

    I actually think it's pretty nice but you can tell that it's been gutted a lot because of time constraints.

    Lol, like she cares what anyone thinks. Lady's loaded, our opinions are meaningless.

    "Isn't that the lady who does a bunch of racism antisemitism and transphobia?"

    "Homer no! That's JQ Lolling, probably one of the world's greatest writers!!"

    That's an old episode, no? What did she do back then?

    The text is not the actual line from the episode.

    Indeed, it's what happens when the unstoppable force of societal values meets the immovable object of someone's personal ego.
