just to clarify before I follow cause your art is rad

are you a "thanks for the character concepts and vague world outline, we'll take it fron here" fan of Harry potter? or a J.K neutral/supporter?

thank you so much anon!

my work tends to be pretty aligned (and by pretty i mean like 98%) with canon and you’ll find me praising and engaging seriously with canon a lot.

i fully condemn jkr’s transphobia and gender crit NONSENSE. i truly disagree and hate her politics now but i think when she was writing the original 7 books, she had a good head on her shoulders. i read the books for the first time just this past year in my early 20s and man i’ve become a canonpilled book purist if there ever was one and i love these damn books/characters/world *shakes fist to the sky* so maybe this veers me more toward jkr neutral?

i can’t say definitively because i have and will continue to have complicated feelings about this but it’s up to you to decide!

#you’ll also find me being excited about the hbo show bc i think the ideal hp adaptation would be a serialized tv show #and i’m desperate for the books to be on the screen accurate nuances and warts and all #nusreplies #toorumlk #also all my fav characters are fully fleshed out characters and not mere concepts so popular fanon doesn’t interest me so much #and i personally don’t find the world to be vague #i think the class analysis the deep rootedness of bigotry prejudice and tradition #also volde/tom riddles depiction of a charismatic leader megalomania and his narcissism is absolutely fascinating to me #so yeah…#canon is king #To Me #also not a big fan of death of the author approach to hp analysis bc i think jkr being a single working class mother having just escaped #DV situation is integral to analyzing hp major motifs of love and motherhood #oh yeah those are my thots™️
