#beowulf may be hundreds of years old but it lowkey slaps. I recommend the seamus heaney translation

don’t know what you’re on about. if someone is actively participating in the hp fandom they aren’t actually an hp hater, they just have some things to say about it.

what utopia are you living in where the majority of people have “moved on” from hp. you don’t even have to leave tumblr to know that that’s not true. like, i fucking wish. but people still buy new fancy copies of the books, still go to universal studios multiple times just to see the park in different seasons, still put their house in their bio, still buy the merch from boxlunch or wherever and where it in public. i mean a new tv adaptation was literally just announced. what are you fucking on.

and apparently having an opinion on one of the most popular franchises in the world is “being obsessed” now. k.

it’s not actually that weird that people are saying “harry potter was never good, actually” after joanne went full mask off, and no it doesn’t mean that we all secretly think harry potter is amazing but don’t want to admit it. it’s pretty simple actually: most people read harry potter when they were children, when they hadn’t read a lot of other books and therefore didn’t have a lot to compare it to. then every time you reread it as an adult, you’re looking through pretty hefty nostalgia goggles. then, after you’ve realized that joanne is a violent bigot that wants you and / or people you love and care for dead, those goggles are broken and when you attempt to look at hp again you’re more likely to see it’s flaws. it’s not rocket science.
