    JK Rowling. She was always a shitty writer, but it’s especially cool she’s now viewed as the trash person she always was.

      Buying into the misogynistic stereotype that women can't write, I see.

      Anyone can be rude on the internet: Why don't you come to 124 Whitehouse Rd, Cramond, Edinburgh EH4 6DQ, and call me a "trash person" (another misogynistic trope) to my face?

          The good part of Harry Potter, to me, has always been Wizards doing quirky things that only make sense to them. There's a couple scenes, mostly in the first movie, which capture this feeling pretty well. If that's all the movies focused on they might be fun even if the writing was weak.

          Unfortunately about half the first movie and nearly all of the second is an attempt to do a dark drama with wizards, and that's a genre that needs good writing and a big tonal clash that would need to be handled delicately, and JKR's script just isn't up to the task.

            Yeah, I was down with the first three movies cause it was Adventures in Wizard School. I took it for that and could suspend a lot of disbelief but once it started getting 'serious' the massive silliness of the core premise became harder to ignore.
