What is your Hogwarts house?
This is the second time now I've recieved this ask. I ignored it the first time. You're asking the wrong person, for one thing. By the time Harry Potter was being released I was reading Dragonriders of Pern, Man-Kzin Wars, and Honour Harrington.
On top of that I was home-schooled the whole way, by christian parents who, in certain loopy ways, approached fundamentalist. I did not encounter Harry Potter until the movies, and even then they were overshadowed by Peter Jackson's masterpieces.
So even if it wasn't for the extenuating circumstances, I would have very little clue as to what to answer, and furthermore could not possibly care less about the question.
However, given Rowling's antipathy to trans people, some of whom I number amongst my closest friends, and who I might well be willing to kill for. Certainly be willing to put myself in harms way for.
And the raging anti-semitism present in her novels if you approach them with a critical eye. The prevalence of such concepts as blood quantum, the poor representation and racially charged portrayals (The one Irish student can only cast spells that blow shit up? Come on!). the lack of concern with the historical implications (There's one magic school in the entirety of the U.K., and it's in Northern Scotland and has been for a thousand years, and yet, is basically your standard English grammar school with magic?)
I have no desire to engage with Harry Potter, it's derivatives, it's fandom, and especially it's author, and I'll thank you to stop sending me these asks.
