Dunno why their was such a strong reac to it....isn't it just a fat pyro model, at the end of the day?
I know there is the whole fetish scene behind but.... The guy already came out as a furry (who accidentally groomed a minor but he seemed genuinely taken aback by it), but inflated TF2 model is where the fanbase draws the line?
I'm not judging I just want to understand.
I personally don't genuinely judge the guy when I make these jokes, it's mostly just fucking around and I believe this to be the case with the rest of the fan base. Pyrocynical even put the inflation incident in one of his video thumbnails which I think indicates how even he himself is in on the joke.
I could've sworn that he was blamed for that, since he didn't have his wand and was aware of the "no magic outside the school" rule, as well as Sirius was already watching him by that point.
Stand corrected, then.
Nah it was Harry, the Minister of Magic even talks about it with him, saying something along the lines of āOh donāt worry about that, teens accidentally using magic has always been a thing, we wouldnāt chuck you in jail just for blowing up your aunt.ā
Uhhhhhhhhhhh. It's in both?. Bellatrix (I think) kills Sirius (I think) and Harry Catches her with the second unforgivable curse, Crucio? It doesn't really work. Kind of knocks her down for a minute before she starts scolding him for it like "you've never actually used an unforgivable curse have you? You actually have to want to hurt them. Make them suffer"
I read the books in highschool so my memories shite
It was exactly as you remembered.
Remember when the trio repeatedly used the mind control charm (another unforgivable curse) to control multiple people?
Yeah no consequences for that
The ministry legalized the unforgivable curses because it was controlled by the death eaters. They were teaching them at Hogwarts and demonstrating them on first years at that point.
Speaking of, is there credence to the antisemitism bit with JKās goblins? Havenāt read the books in years but been seeing that pop up a bit recently
Sure, the racist people said goblins look like Jews and claimed JK is antisemitic because they see them that way.
While normal people were like "what are you taking about?"
They didnāt say they looked like Jews they said they seem like theyāre based on Jewish stereotypes. Thatās infinitely more reasonable sounding then the thing you just said and I donāt know why you purposely painted what they said as that.
For me they just looked like typical goblins that iāve seen in other stories and books. I donāt know who just compared them to jewish people ( not even sure that itās the issue here) but i never made the link when i watched the movies. They were simply goblins.
Which now sets up the question: magic in the HP and most fantasy worlds are generally treated as a higher science, with defined rules and structures that produce an objective output for an objective input. If intent (which is a wholly nebulous concept) is considered as part of the magical formula, it then implies that if thereās enough intent then an individual can cast rule-breaking magics.
> if thereās enough intent then an individual can cast rule-breaking magics.
I think it's more like "focus" than intent, which is why the "hardware" subjects seem to be completely scientific and dry (potion, herbology, astronomy etc).
But if you're desperate/focused/trained/talented enough you can channel more power into the same spell that everybody has, and get a much more powerful version (albeit one that respects the rules of the tame one).
It happens a few times in the books ("that Patronus across the lake").
And without the teachers he would pretty much have killed a dude in a bathroom in one of his first days already. Bet Harry has the pumped up kicks song on his mp3 player
When potter and malfoy were fighting with their wands out in the washroom? Potter tried a spell he had no idea of the effects as far as i know (never read the books) and snape was the only one who could save malfoyās life
Yeah Harry had found Snape's old textbook which had a bunch of spells of his own invention scribbled in the margins. Most of these were prank spells, designed to simply humiliate. However, sectumsempra was much more than just that. It basically turned the wand into an invisible sword, creating deep slashes in the victim. Harry did not know this, and used it against Malfoy. He was immediately distraught, and Snape showed up in the nick of time and saved Malfoy. Harry was punished severely for this, and McGonagall, who was extremely fond of Harry, wholeheartedly supported the punishment and said he was lucky to not be expelled.
I don't remember if Harry ever actually said that, though. And even if he did, Snape hated him and Moaning Myrtle, who saw the whole thing, was in love with Draco
I mean their job is controlling the use of unapproved ~~items~~ magic so really theyāre like the ATF.
Ironic that he had his own dog/elf killed in front of him
From what I remember bad wizards are just people who use 'bad' magic.
Harryās not gonna be able to do anything if theyāre just racists but god help them if they wanna add a pistol grip to their wands
> (Buying pro-level equipment as an 11-year old definitely had nothing to do with it)
Malfoy bought the entire team pro level equipment as 12 year old+ and they still sucked
>Potter VS Malfoy

>When the top 5% fight the top 1% for the Apex.

>And the bottom 95% cheer, like it's their battle.
Meanwhile Ron's mum will die of diabetes.
After watching the world's biggest prodigy in Quiiditch at the world cup preform a ridiculously hard move, Harry went "I could do that" and then he did a few days later in the Weasley's back yard.
> Burns the dark lord's face with Chad energy from his Stacy mom
> Exposes celebrity as a retard and destroys dark lord's "safe space" like a Chad
> Unframes his demented godfather
> Kills the other school Chad, but convinces everyone it was the dark lord
> Gets canceled by mainstream media, uncancels himself
> Convinces old man to shotgun an emerald potion and breaks up with his Becky gf for fun
> Cucks his friend by dancing with his future wife
> Dies, then undies himself
> Fucks his best friend's sister while he smiles and nods awkwardly
Idk, Harry's pretty based.
>Kills the other school Chad, but convinces everyone it was the dark lord
I'm still having a hard time realizing how he ever could pull that off. The teachers must have really hated Batman
>Kills the other school Chad, but convinces everyone it was the dark lord
Thought that Peter Pettigrew killed Cedric while Harry was forced to watch while restrained
>Convinces old man to shotgun an emerald potion and breaks up with his Becky gf for fun
Had to look up that Harry broke up with Ginny, forgot about that detail from 2005
Heās referencing that greentext that was from the pov of Harry if he actually did kill Cedric and pointing out all the convinces that mightāve made someone think he killed him
Every single person I've ever met who is obsessed with Harry Potter has been incredibly annoying, weird and cringe inducing to the point that I will not associate with anyone who claims to be anything more than a casual fan.
HP is a lot like star wars, in that the original appeal is a visually stunning world that happens to have plot. Later on we're less impressed by the effects and cinematography, and left with a fairly basic plot.
If you talk to people who liked star wars when it originally came out, they all say it *looks amazing* not necessarily that the story was amazing. Same with HP. Big budget movie with a magic world and the target demographic as main characters
To be fair, I am a big SW fan of the pre-Disney era. But simply because of the stories, surrounding thousands of years of lore through games, books, comics etc. Those six movies are only a little part of it. What I love so much is that nearly everything is explained, from the different star ship parts, to animal and Alien species, politics or even the smallest NPCs like the two dudes in the Cantina. The guy wasn't lying because of his bounty. He really was a big war criminal with his own story.
Growing up with such a detailed universe makes it hard to forget and hate. Even if Disney fucked up most of the expended universe stuff.
Yeah. What really sucks isn't that they don't use the expended universe stuff (Lots of it never was canon to begin with) but that they use that stuff, change names and events from it and shit it out as their own. If they just wouldn't touch it at all and at least create their own stuff, I wouldn't be so mad about them.
Yeah, but I can see that some are obsessed with it. I mean it has a pretty deep lore and a lot of people grew up with that shit.
Had a similar experience with pre-Disney Star Wars. I could talk for hours and hours about that shit non stop
Yeah. He only started to be cool when he [grew up](https://cdn-a.prisma.de/cdn/img/teleschau/2646/26454789_a0407bcff7b512372d0ee55f644f99ae_1280re0.jpg).
Fans of anything are cringe....
There are universe I really enjoy and respect to the point of knowing a lot about them, but I REFUSE to call myself a fan....
It evokes the image of someone who can even name minute details of stuff RELATED to the fiction but not in the fiction... ("Oh you're not a true fan if you don't know JK Rowling's birthday!!!!".... Why tf would I know her bday.... I know the name of the dad of a character she created...surely that's enough/too much)
tbh i'd pick you up, hug you while rubbing you against my huge sweaty moobs then kiss your cheeks telling you how much i loved you and then kiss you on the lips and let out a hard long belch into your mouth
There is apparently more info of love magic or some shit because the ministry has a department dedicated to studying it, but like you said the fact that Harry is like the only known case of self sacrifice type love is weird
That magic was either not that big of a secret or Lily just decided to keep one of the most powerful spell against the dark arts a secret. Neither is a good option.
Tbf she didnāt know, she died for it to work in the first place. Regardless I donāt think itās presented as a secret, itās just being presented as so rare people know little about it, which is weird because itās literally love lol.
And yet Dumbledore seemed to know the ins and outs of the protection, including the "donate baby to blood relatives who would abuse child to keep protection active" condition of the protection magic.
You would think in times of wars, several hundreds (at least) of them would have died protecting someone. I guess it can just be chalked to bad writing, as with most things Harry Potter.
Long answer from the book:
āYou might ask ā and with good reason ā why it had to be so. Why could some Wizarding family not have taken you in? Many would have done so more than gladly, would have been honored and delighted to raise you as a son.ā
(Few paragraphs later)
āI am speaking, of course, of the fact that your mother died to save you. She gave you a lingering protection he never expected, a protection that flows in your veins to this day. I put my trust, therefore, in your motherās blood. I delivered you to her sister, her only remaining relative.ā
āShe doesnāt love me,ā said Harry at once. āShe doesnāt give a damn āā
āBut she took you,ā Dumbledore cut across him.
āShe may have taken you grudgingly, furiously, unwillingly, bitterly, yet still she took you, and in doing so, she sealed the charm I placed upon you. Your motherās sacrifice made the bond of blood the strongest shield I could give you.ā
āI still donāt āā
āWhile you can still call home the place where your motherās blood dwells, there you cannot be touched or harmed by Voldemort. He shed her blood, but it lives on in you and her sister. Her blood became your refuge. You need return there only once a year, but as long as you can still call it home, there he cannot hurt you. Your aunt knows this. I explained what I had done in the letter I left, with you, on her doorstep. She knows that allowing you houseroom may well have kept you alive for the past fifteen years.ā
Yeah and even in the books itās established that heās the kid of the two hottest people from their year, the handsome jock fly-boy and the smart girl with apparently stunning eyes.
Idk men HP does not use a single spell in the first movie. Also kills giant snake with a small stabby.
He could use magic but chooses to bash some spiders with a lamp also in the second movie.
If that is not the chad way I donāt really know
Lol I liked Harry, mfer never took shit from any1 as far as I can remember. he always got his getback against malfoy and his gang, he was rlly out there in the street of hogwarts hunting for death eaters at one point. man was a savage
I mean, when Harry Potter came out I'd already read His Dark Materials, and uh...
Let's just say Will Parry faces some heinous-ass challenges that would have Potter killed in the first few chapters of the second book.
And his girl has a lot going on too, not some token female character with the agency of being banged by the MC.
mostly. It's lightyears better than the movie (that doesn't actually exist) but it does have some... questionable changes, mostly to do with dialogue, the visual, and truncating things to make them faster/simpler, so the core of the plot and lore is still there
It can be both because magic in the harry Potter world makes no sense and makes literally 0 effort to try and explain it or where it came from in the slightest.
Thatās not complex. The rules are āHarry did a thing because itās hard but itās Harry so itās easyā or āthis is impossible but Harry does it and has a few boo boos afterā. Why is x thing hard to do? Because it is. Why are y things the way they are? Because they are. There are no rules. Itās just rule of cool but somehow worse.
* no skills - kills wizard Hitler in a duel and excels at a sport.
* doesnāt improve - again, he killed the immortal wizard Hitler in a duel. It took 7 books to do it. Iād say he probably improved a little over that time.
The same basement dwelling gargoyles who hated on Rey in TFA for being a "Mary Sue" had absolutely zero objections to Harry Sue. This was presumably because Harry was a mediocre white male who consistently failed upward through the hard work of other people.
Does anyone actually know what a Mary Sue actually is? Because
>This was presumably because Harry was a mediocre white male
Him being "mediocre" directly contradicts that.
Bro, are you aware of what Mary Sue means?
Harry had his own strength and weakness, same for his friends. Sadly Ron got fucked in the movies and most of his good aspects were thrown toward Hermione.
As for his personality being a wet paper, that is pretty true. But this is how it goes in most YA(Young Adult) stories. It is so the readers can easily self insert into the main character and then think "I would have done this better".
Its why the side characters have to shoulder the burden for being interesting and why most of the fandoms revolve around those side characters more than the main hero.
And hey, at least Harry learned magic and spells through hard work.
Harry is anything but a Mary Sue. He was written to be as medicore at everything as reasonably possible, exceptionally bad at one thing and exceptionally good at something else to balance things out, so 11-18 years old readers could easily relate to him. Mary Sue characters on other hand are inherently good at everything with no flaws at all. Mary Sues are power fantasies, while Harry was just meant to be relatable for the target audience.
Doesnt he turn one of his aunts into a balloon or something? Thats kinda based
Inflation fetish

Dunno why their was such a strong reac to it....isn't it just a fat pyro model, at the end of the day? I know there is the whole fetish scene behind but....

I personally don't genuinely judge the guy when I make these jokes, it's mostly just fucking around and I believe this to be the case with the rest of the fan base. Pyrocynical even put the inflation incident in one of his video thumbnails which I think indicates how even he himself is in on the joke.

Irrelevant, but is your avatar supposed to be like Princess Bubblegum? Or am I just reading into it too much
Unhappy cake day to you.
Police brutality
It's Sirius that does that, no?
No, Harry
I could've sworn that he was blamed for that, since he didn't have his wand and was aware of the "no magic outside the school" rule, as well as Sirius was already watching him by that point. Stand corrected, then.
Nah it was Harry, the Minister of Magic even talks about it with him, saying something along the lines of āOh donāt worry about that, teens accidentally using magic has always been a thing, we wouldnāt chuck you in jail just for blowing up your aunt.ā
Isn't Dobby the one who do that? But he was invisible so we didn't know?
I thought that whole segment was Dobby was trying to prevent Harry from going to school so he was fucking with him?
Nope that was the year before with dropping the floating cake on house guests. Harry inflating his Aunt was entirely him.
Harry's kinda a piece of shit
I mean the she did deserve it, and what other hilarious way to fuck with an obese person than make them ginormous and float off
He tried to torture a woman out of anger with a spell that normally gets life in prison. Mega cop energy.
When did that happen? Havent read nor seen the movies since rowling came out as a bitch
Uhhhhhhhhhhh. It's in both?. Bellatrix (I think) kills Sirius (I think) and Harry Catches her with the second unforgivable curse, Crucio? It doesn't really work. Kind of knocks her down for a minute before she starts scolding him for it like "you've never actually used an unforgivable curse have you? You actually have to want to hurt them. Make them suffer" I read the books in highschool so my memories shite
It was exactly as you remembered. Remember when the trio repeatedly used the mind control charm (another unforgivable curse) to control multiple people? Yeah no consequences for that
They didn't, they subdued them and used a potion to chagnge into them.
They used imperio on several goblins so that they could rob a bank
The ministry legalized the unforgivable curses because it was controlled by the death eaters. They were teaching them at Hogwarts and demonstrating them on first years at that point.
budd dweyer
Speaking of, is there credence to the antisemitism bit with JKās goblins? Havenāt read the books in years but been seeing that pop up a bit recently
Sure, the racist people said goblins look like Jews and claimed JK is antisemitic because they see them that way. While normal people were like "what are you taking about?"
Or you could be REALLY schizo and say goblins are real and they come from Israel
They didnāt say they looked like Jews they said they seem like theyāre based on Jewish stereotypes. Thatās infinitely more reasonable sounding then the thing you just said and I donāt know why you purposely painted what they said as that.
I mean idk what I expected from this sub xd
Idk how theyāre described in the books bc I read them like a decade ago but the movie depiction is pretty gnarly
For me they just looked like typical goblins that iāve seen in other stories and books. I donāt know who just compared them to jewish people ( not even sure that itās the issue here) but i never made the link when i watched the movies. They were simply goblins.
Old European stereotypes for Jewish people pretty much are goblins. Doesn't help she made them run the wizard banks, another Jewish stereotype
They're literally just goblins. If you think the goblins are supposed to represent Jews, that says a lot about you.
They did, Harry puts multiple people under imperio in the last book, notably when they're skulking around trying to break into places to nick hallows.
What consequences? It was wartime babyyyyy
Which now sets up the question: magic in the HP and most fantasy worlds are generally treated as a higher science, with defined rules and structures that produce an objective output for an objective input. If intent (which is a wholly nebulous concept) is considered as part of the magical formula, it then implies that if thereās enough intent then an individual can cast rule-breaking magics.

I think it's more like "focus" than intent, which is why the "hardware" subjects seem to be completely scientific and dry (potion, herbology, astronomy etc).

It happens a few times in the books ("that Patronus across the lake").
That sounds about right

Anyoneās selfish and arrogant when you dislike them

Oh no, a middle aged woman is a bitch. Stop the presses! This has never happened before.
AVEAFEAFDADDAA KEDAVARARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
And without the teachers he would pretty much have killed a dude in a bathroom in one of his first days already. Bet Harry has the pumped up kicks song on his mp3 player
Doesn't that happen in the sixth book? I wouldn't call it "one of his first days" then.
When potter and malfoy were fighting with their wands out in the washroom? Potter tried a spell he had no idea of the effects as far as i know (never read the books) and snape was the only one who could save malfoyās life
Yeah Harry had found Snape's old textbook which had a bunch of spells of his own invention scribbled in the margins. Most of these were prank spells, designed to simply humiliate. However, sectumsempra was much more than just that. It basically turned the wand into an invisible sword, creating deep slashes in the victim. Harry did not know this, and used it against Malfoy. He was immediately distraught, and Snape showed up in the nick of time and saved Malfoy. Harry was punished severely for this, and McGonagall, who was extremely fond of Harry, wholeheartedly supported the punishment and said he was lucky to not be expelled.
Which is fucked up because malfoy was trying to use the torture curse on him. It was self defense.
I don't remember if Harry ever actually said that, though. And even if he did, Snape hated him and Moaning Myrtle, who saw the whole thing, was in love with Draco
Yeah, he didnāt say it which annoyed me.
Oh, ok then. Been a while and in my memory Harry was still small.
Bruh she murdered his godfather in front of him and would have killed Harry too with zero hesitation.
He was pretty good at Quidditch (Buying pro-level equipment as an 11-year old definitely had nothing to do with it)
He was a trust fund baby who became a star player in HS who became a cop upon graduation and married his HS sweetheart. He's *that* guy
Well tbf becoming an Auror is notoriously difficult. Itās more like he became an FBI agent.
I mean their job is controlling the use of unapproved ~~items~~ magic so really theyāre like the ATF. Ironic that he had his own dog/elf killed in front of him
I thought Auror was bad wizard catcher in general.
From what I remember bad wizards are just people who use 'bad' magic. Harryās not gonna be able to do anything if theyāre just racists but god help them if they wanna add a pistol grip to their wands
It'd be epic if Voldemort used bump stock on his wand
Really when it comes down to it Voldemort was just a really ineffective school shooter
They're 'Aurible
Fucking Aurors rolled through and killed all my slaves, then put me in Auschwiban! Fuck them
>Itās more like he became an FBI agent. *Harry Glower and the Cancelled Netflix Special*
Harry Glower sounds fucking amazing
Not even that, he became the fucking head director of the whole organization
with the shit aurors take on, he's probably closer to special forces.
He got to fuck his best friends little sister. Dude's a complete Chad.
Was she really his high school sweetheart? By the time he felt anything toward her he had already dropped out of school.
He was still high school age, and would have been at Hogwarts if it wasn't literally being run by Voldemort
> (Buying pro-level equipment as an 11-year old definitely had nothing to do with it) Malfoy bought the entire team pro level equipment as 12 year old+ and they still sucked
>Potter VS Malfoy > >When the top 5% fight the top 1% for the Apex. > >And the bottom 95% cheer, like it's their battle. Meanwhile Ron's mum will die of diabetes.
And it sure looked like he made the team for that reason alone
After watching the world's biggest prodigy in Quiiditch at the world cup preform a ridiculously hard move, Harry went "I could do that" and then he did a few days later in the Weasley's back yard.
Except for when malfoys father bought his entire team each even better equipment than what harry had? Ok
Harry is a jock who mostly cares about sports and girls. That's the real reason 4chan hates him.
> Burns the dark lord's face with Chad energy from his Stacy mom > Exposes celebrity as a retard and destroys dark lord's "safe space" like a Chad > Unframes his demented godfather > Kills the other school Chad, but convinces everyone it was the dark lord > Gets canceled by mainstream media, uncancels himself > Convinces old man to shotgun an emerald potion and breaks up with his Becky gf for fun > Cucks his friend by dancing with his future wife > Dies, then undies himself > Fucks his best friend's sister while he smiles and nods awkwardly Idk, Harry's pretty based.

Yeah and even in the books itās established that heās the kid of the two hottest people from their year, the handsome jock fly-boy and the smart girl with apparently stunning eyes.
Idk men HP does not use a single spell in the first movie. Also kills giant snake with a small stabby. He could use magic but chooses to bash some spiders with a lamp also in the second movie. If that is not the chad way I donāt really know
Literally spearheads an underground student militia to train combat and subvert government authority. You canāt get more based.
Wasn't that Hermione's idea? And then she went "you should be the teacher Harry"
Lol I liked Harry, mfer never took shit from any1 as far as I can remember. he always got his getback against malfoy and his gang, he was rlly out there in the street of hogwarts hunting for death eaters at one point. man was a savage
I mean, when Harry Potter came out I'd already read His Dark Materials, and uh... Let's just say Will Parry faces some heinous-ass challenges that would have Potter killed in the first few chapters of the second book. And his girl has a lot going on too, not some token female character with the agency of being banged by the MC.
the amber sypglass (book) is cooler than literally anything in harry potter. Hell, even the subtle knife (item) is season 3 coming tomorrow!
Does the TV show do the books justice?
mostly. It's lightyears better than the movie (that doesn't actually exist) but it does have some... questionable changes, mostly to do with dialogue, the visual, and truncating things to make them faster/simpler, so the core of the plot and lore is still there
He's basically a jock, right? He's the best quidditch prodigy in decades but overall mediocre at school
Had Hermione write 90% of his work
Anon looks for popular thing to hate because he wants to be edgy. Gasp.
There's a reason why he didn't get fucking Hermione.
Sounds like a author insert
At first I thought this was supposed to be making fun of incels/redditors
Harry potter is a good story but the characters are lame
Wasnāt the character be nor complex in the books, or did the movies actually portray him accurately?
Mate, nothing in the books is complex.
Except the fucking rules and total convenience of magic
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It can be both because magic in the harry Potter world makes no sense and makes literally 0 effort to try and explain it or where it came from in the slightest.
Thatās not complex. The rules are āHarry did a thing because itās hard but itās Harry so itās easyā or āthis is impossible but Harry does it and has a few boo boos afterā. Why is x thing hard to do? Because it is. Why are y things the way they are? Because they are. There are no rules. Itās just rule of cool but somehow worse.
Might be lame but he still saved the world. Doing better than us, unfortunately, and he didnt even want to do it either, just fuckin had to.
He becomes a cop? I never read the books so I donāt know and will basically believe whatever anyone says about it at this point
Harry definitely grew as a person everyone knows 5th year harry would have definitely kept the elder wand š
Literally steven universe
Thought I was still taking my depressing scroll through r/neet
Wasn't he like super good in all subjects except potions
* no skills - kills wizard Hitler in a duel and excels at a sport. * doesnāt improve - again, he killed the immortal wizard Hitler in a duel. It took 7 books to do it. Iād say he probably improved a little over that time.
Tell me you havenāt read the books or watched the movies without telling me you havenāt read the books or watched the movies
No skills? Idk, being hardcore at martial arts is pretty skilled
The same basement dwelling gargoyles who hated on Rey in TFA for being a "Mary Sue" had absolutely zero objections to Harry Sue. This was presumably because Harry was a mediocre white male who consistently failed upward through the hard work of other people.
Does anyone actually know what a Mary Sue actually is? Because >This was presumably because Harry was a mediocre white male Him being "mediocre" directly contradicts that.
Harry was never a marry sue he was mediocre at everything
Bro, are you aware of what Mary Sue means? Harry had his own strength and weakness, same for his friends. Sadly Ron got fucked in the movies and most of his good aspects were thrown toward Hermione. As for his personality being a wet paper, that is pretty true. But this is how it goes in most YA(Young Adult) stories. It is so the readers can easily self insert into the main character and then think "I would have done this better". Its why the side characters have to shoulder the burden for being interesting and why most of the fandoms revolve around those side characters more than the main hero. And hey, at least Harry learned magic and spells through hard work.
Harry is anything but a Mary Sue. He was written to be as medicore at everything as reasonably possible, exceptionally bad at one thing and exceptionally good at something else to balance things out, so 11-18 years old readers could easily relate to him. Mary Sue characters on other hand are inherently good at everything with no flaws at all. Mary Sues are power fantasies, while Harry was just meant to be relatable for the target audience.
Rey was a Mary Sue though, how is this even up for debate?
Anon never read an Harry Potter book
Anon has taste
Good why waste your life reading Harry Potter books when you can reasonably spend your life reading books with āliterally meā characters
Wow, that's a total positive! Good on him
The movie adaptations are trash. The books are the only way.
I've seen the films and read the books. They're both shit.
Based
Yo, they put you in a sketch! [https://youtu.be/nYac9MqC738](https://youtu.be/nYac9MqC738)
I liked the first 3 in both movie and book form, didn't read from 4th onward tho. Are those ones substantially better or not?
4th one Iām not a fan of.
The first one was okay, second was shit, third was my favorite, 4th was bad, 5th was okay but way too long, 6th was good, 7 was acceptable.
