Harry, the protagonist, is actually a female hero in the way his sexual introspection and romantic life plays out. In other words, Rowling lacks the power of imagination to put herself in male shoes and try to understand male sexuality. No sixteen-year-old boy is ever “confused” about his attraction to a girl, but Harry is. Harry, as the sixteen year old captain of a winning sports team, stands there dumbfounded and surprised as his sassy, outgoing love interest grabs him and kisses him in the middle of a victory party. In real life what generally happens is that the sports star is the one who grabs the girl he likes and kisses her. Rowling switches the roles.

Rowling tells us that men should act like women, and passively wait around for the girls they like to decide to act like high status men and jump their bones. This makes men frustrated and angry, because if you want a woman to actually jump your bones, you have to sexually tease and torment her until she can’t stand it, which is quite the opposite of a fifteen-year-old man brooding because he can’t understand the feeling of sexual jealousy, which Harry does. If you read Harry as a female protagonist in a romance novel, however, you get great insights into female sexuality. Harry doesn’t notice girls until they pay attention in some small way towards him. But not too much, because he is turned off by Ginny’s thirsty little girl crush until Ginny becomes more aloof and starts fucking other men. He is disgusted when Cho Chang breaks down crying on their date, because a girl would be disgusted in the same way by a man doing it, because Rowling is disgusted by it. Whereas when a man sees a girl display this vulnerability, the protective instinct starts to fire up. Harry is a cuck, because he doesn’t start getting really interested in a girl until he becomes jealous of said girl fucking another man. This is called preselection, and it’s how female sexuality works.

It was written by a woman, and fantasy stories always suck because there's no real reason or weight behind anything because every problem can be solved or created with "magic". Everything feels trivial and pointless and constantly self contradictory (why does magic work in this situation and not another when it could easily work in another situation that could basically end the whole story)

Tldr not reading. British men are the biggest feminists and ask for consent before each thrust.

I wanted to be a book artist because of these covers, as well as other illustrations like Frog and Toad.

Imagine AI has destroyed that field eh?

It's all bullshit from the point when the OBVIOUS relationship between Harry and Hermione just can't happen. Total nonsense, and JKR admitted to that at the end of the series. Ron and Hermione was STUPID, Harry and Ginny was STUPID, publishers and editors pressure pushed her into lots of unforced errors due to the rush to get the books out, (and those shitty movies as well)

Well, seeing as that anon is complaining about magic not being consistent and logical in fantasy, clearly he wishes it was so. And indeed many a dogshit fantasy series has laid out deeply thought out systems for their world's magic.

The Comoran Strike series is obviously what Rowling WANTS to write while Harry Potter is what she gets paid to write. Interestingly, the CS books feel more like romances set in a detective novel setting as opposed to a detective novel with a romance sub-plot. The romacne is what she’s mostly interested in — and BOY does she not like just pairing those two (Strike and Robin) up and being done with it, it has be a never-ending will-the-won’t-they edging game interspersed with loveless marriages and new girlfriends lol.

not sure about that, i think he's just a shit character starved of development, she put all her love into her self insert hermione which is why she seems more like the active protagonist
but on the whole there was almost no thought put into the books and that became immediately obvious when she started engaging more on her website and just came off like a complete brainlet

Stuff like this made me go MGTOW. I can't look at a woman without a crawling suspicion in the back of my head that she gushes to a sadistic fanfic about an 11 yeard old being abused in such ways that would make Burroughs and Ballard flinch and de Sade shiver.
