Please don’t support the terrible Rowling

@stux haven't for a while now..

Never got the books popularity...

Did read them and noticed the problems straight away

@Noortjevee  

I never liked it in the first place lol, pirated  some movies but meh 🤷

@stux i seen most in cinema...people took me to see em, i always thought they were ok low attention fun

@Noortjevee @stux

The only things JKR brought to the table were cruel interconnects between the much better sources she stole from, plus lawyers.

When I read the first HP book, I thought it was a fanfic homage to the Worst Witch series or maybe Chrestomanci series. Or Books of Magic for the protagonist. Or Agatha Christie for plot. Nope. Complete rip-off.

OK, time to watch some Worst Witch! Or Owl House!

A pretty good summary of the wherefroms and examples:

Harry Potter and the possible plagiarism of one J. Rowling

Note: Rowling’s middle name is not in fact Kathleen, that is part of her pseudonym, she does not seem to have an actual middle name. J.K…

@jakebrake @Noortjevee @stux Have you seen the Conrad Edison series? I was surprised he wasn't sued. It was just a darker version of HP.
@CStamp @jakebrake @stux i have not...it goes on the list..
@Noortjevee @jakebrake @stux I think he got his magic rules a lot more consistent. JKR had so many inconsistencies. They can do a reparo, for instance, to fix broken glasses, but poor witches/wizards have patched or ratty robes? They all seem to take the train, in a muggle train station, to Hogwarts, but there are magic folk who don't know what muggles dress like?

@CStamp @jakebrake @stux

the whole
"...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives."

(had to google the words)

Was kinda intresting to me.

but the cop out of the deathly hallows, and then the goddamn expeliarmus deflect bullshit, so they could go "no no...HArry never killed him, voldemort kinda killed himself"

@Noortjevee @CStamp @jakebrake @stux

They could just have said "predicting the future doesn't work, suck it up". Unfortunately fantasy on magic is rarely courageous enough to handle the "prophesy of the one who will be our salvation" properly (ie. this way).
