The internet is already exploding about Katherine Parkinson, John Lithgow and Paapa Essiedu signing up to the new Hogwarts adventures – and it hasn’t even started filming
i’m the exact age that HP was targetted at, and i loved to read fantasy. sounds like a perfect fit, yeah?
they’re shitty fucking hack work that i only bothered finishing because my dipshit teachers and classmates turned every damn thing into harry potter and i couldn’t participate in class without context. i didn’t pick up on everything problematic bc i was young and very not woke, but i picked up on enough that they were often very uncomfortable reads. the plot structure is horrid, the protagonist has even less of an arc than Rey from Star Wars, the worldbuilding is downright lazy and inconsistent, and the tone is condescending as fuck.
my critiques were not welcome then and i got dismissed as a joyless contrarian who hates things just to hate them. now people are finally bothering to think critically about the series i’m hearing ALL my old complaints from back then echoed back to me and it feels so god damn vindicating.
it’s not your perspective, it’s awful fiction for stupid people with shitty taste.
