Cho and Lavender were villainized by the narative in favor of Ginny and Hermione

Rowling despises teenage girls with traditionally feminine interests. She only treats those who don’t want to be like “other girls” or the pick-me girls well in the narrative. It’s clear she projects a deeply personal issue onto certain female archetypes, which makes me think she must have a lot of unresolved resentment, probably dating back to her childhood. She portrays Lavender as foolish for being desperate over Ron, when in reality, that’s not foolish at all—it’s completely normal for a teenage girl experiencing her first relationship and not knowing how to handle her emotions. She also mocks Lavender and the Patil twins’ interests, like Divination, girls’ magazines, or gossip, as if those things were inherently frivolous and shallow. It’s as if being a girl and enjoying “girly” things automatically makes you stupid or as if femininity itself is incompatible with having depth and other, more “serious” interests.

Likewise, through Harry’s praise of Ginny for not crying—contrasted with Cho, who does—she implies that sentimentality, emotional expression, or a lack of self-control are negative traits, while repressing emotions (which is traditionally associated with masculinity) is a positive thing that makes you “tougher” or “stronger.” Narratively, Rowling always favors Hermione for “not being like other girls” and turns Ginny into the ultimate pick-me girl. She’s a character who barely matters or has any relevance throughout the series until she suddenly transforms into the perfect cishet teenage boy fantasy: the girl who is super hot and sexually desirable but at the same time doesn’t waste time with “girly stuff” because she’s too busy acting just as aggressive as any macho guy, being hyper-focused on sports, and being “one of the boys,” cracking jokes, being rough, and acting cool. She’s a girl bro, the embodiment of the perfect woman according to male fantasy, not female. It’s as if she were designed by a hormone-driven teenage boy rather than a woman in her thirties.

Ginny is a disaster of a character from a gender analysis perspective—truly atrocious. And then there’s Luna, who doesn’t bother anyone because she’s too weird, yet she’s accepted by the “not-like-other-girls” girls precisely because of that weirdness. She’s the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, completing the trifecta of contemporary misogynistic female stereotypes embodied by Hermione, Ginny, and Luna—the only teenage female characters who are curiously treated positively and praised by the narrative. The rest are torn down at some point, specifically for reasons directly related to their gender.

It’s crazy to me how hated pansy parkinson is by some fans, which to preface this I’m yet to read the books, but as far as I know all she did wrong was have a crush on Draco and after being told that Voldemort was gonna kill everyone until he got harry, questioned why they weren’t going to trade harry over then. Which yeah I can understand as a reader you’re not going to like it when the life of a character you’re made to root for is debated against, but like she really wasn’t in the wrong for that when you look at her perspective 😭😭 like she was uninformed!!! And scared!!!! All she knew was that supposedly harry had survived the killing curse as an infant. And to her knowledge the hope that he’d survive it again (when him originally surviving it was already a debated topic) was all that they were riding off to win this war, she didn’t know about the horacruxes or the prophecy.

Like idk I feel like I should just expect misogyny from this fandom at this point bc there’s soooo many other characters that could replace pansy in this rant (lavender and Ginny for example) who’ve done little to nothing!!!! But some ppl will go out of their way to give redemption arcs to fucking snape, Draco, even Tom riddle???? Like make it make sense!!!

Give my girl pansy her redemption.

Jk mocked the girls for liking girls’ stuff? And divination is a girls subject? Not a hate q i genuinely dont know

Yes, J.K. Rowling does mock girls for liking traditionally "girly" things, and the way Divination is portrayed in the series is a clear example of how she reinforces gendered stereotypes.

First, let’s establish that there are no inherently "girls’ things" or "boys’ things"—those are social constructs reinforced through culture and media. Activities, subjects, and interests are gendered based on historical and cultural biases, not any inherent difference in ability or preference.

Now, in the books, Divination is depicted as a frivolous, unreliable subject, associated primarily with women. Professor Trelawney is portrayed as an eccentric, dramatic, and incompetent woman whom most characters—particularly Harry, Ron, and even McGonagall—mock. Lavender and Parvati, two of the few explicitly feminine-coded girls in the series, are shown to adore Divination, which further cements the idea that it is a "silly" subject. Compare this to more "serious" subjects like Transfiguration, Potions, or Defense Against the Dark Arts, which are taught by men (or McGonagall, who is depicted as strict, rational, and unlike "typical" women). The underlying message is that things associated with femininity are less valuable and worthy of ridicule.

Beyond Divination, there’s a pattern of dismissing and mocking things that are coded as "girly." Ginny, for example, is embarrassed for having a crush on Harry in CoS, as if romantic feelings—often associated with femininity—are something to grow out of. Hermione, despite being a well-developed character, is at her most ridiculed when she shows interest in emotions or beauty (e.g., her relationship with Krum, the Yule Ball, or her emotional reactions to Ron). The books consistently position more "traditionally feminine" behaviors as weaknesses or sources of humor.

This kind of messaging reinforces harmful stereotypes. When a book aimed at children presents "girly" interests as trivial or laughable, it teaches young readers—especially girls—that their passions and identities are less valid if they align with traditionally feminine things. It upholds the idea that to be taken seriously, one must reject femininity, which is a deeply ingrained misogynistic belief.

So yes, Rowling does engage in this kind of gendered mockery. It might not be intentional, but intent doesn’t negate impact.

(James in an interview after his and Regulus’s movie just premiered)

Interviewer: How do you play being in love with your co-star so easy?

James: Being in love with Regulus really helped.

[daddiesdrarryy]

James: Okay, everything is under control, Pads. I came to your house, made sure your parents weren’t home and got your old clothes from Kreacher and Regulus

Sirius: You met Regulus?

James: I didn’t just meet him. We kissed a little

Sirius, screaming: NOOOOOOO!

James: Pads! What happened? What’s wrong?

Sirius: …you just made out with my brother

Sirius: *screaming louder*
