I realize JK Rowling's new novel might seem a little long at 1200 pages but a good portion of the space is taken up by fictitious mean tweets pic.twitter.com/6xaH27fUUT— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) August 31, 2022
Just like Hillary's book where she just included stupid Facebook and Twitter memes lmao
JKR being awful shouldn't ruin it at all. If the kids all agree that she's awful, they really should be able to enjoy her works without worrying about what we think. My fantasy authour of choice as a kid was David Eddings, and he was much worse of a monster than JKR is. I think taking the journey of learning to hate your darling childhood authour is healthy, and so I support kids reading Harry Potter (or anything else, but seriously it's mostly Harry Potter).

The Belgariad is very deliberately cheesy and trope-y, and it just has fun with it instead of trying to take itself too seriously.
I am greatly relieved that I found the Belgariad Cycle in a library instead of buying it.
