Hogwarts Legacy; Divination class
Post your predictions for the upcoming game regarding the game it self, audience or others
>An attempt of boycotting the game will arise. However, it will be disregarded by the masses in favour of entertainment and nostalgia.
>Boycotters of said game, will turn their noses up at the patrons who have it while waiting to buy the game second-hand or get it through piracy as not to support tyrannical author that did them wrong
No. 262999
>>262644Here are my predictions:
Maybe I'm biased because I follow a bunch of woke game journalists, but I think initially there is going to be some boycotting by journalists. They're going to write "why we're not playing/covering hogwarts legacy" and then when they realize the traction it gets they'll switch to "we played it so you don't have to, JKR is a
terf so this game is bad" articles. The lesser woke ones will pander by making proper game articles but still include a little "JKR is
terf" section so wokies won't call them out (they will anyway).
I think it will do nothing but backfire on them and make more people get curious and interested in this "dark, edgy, forbidden game" kek Hopefully a few people will look up what JKR actually said and realize she has been very reasonable all along.
I also think some streamers will be scared of streaming it and ones that do will get called out for promoting transphobia since terminally online gamer autists are a large part of the trans community.
But still, the overwhelming majority of people will love and hype up the game and places like twitter and reddit will have an outcry of sad troons who are crying over their friends being terfs for playing the game, and how seeing the game
triggers their dysphoria.
No. 263126
>>262999Totally agree with all of this.
There is no way this boycotting will be successful, talking about it won't do them any good but give the game free advertisement, and most of it will be pretty much preaching to the coir; and not talking will have no effect either as hp is still very popular despite what the TRAs like to claim. No winning here, I guess they really shoot themselves in the foot when they made an enemy of jkr.
No. 263201
>>262644I think a lot of casual supporters of the trans ideology who parrot all the virtue signalling like "JKR is a
terf" will eventually succumb and buy the game by justifying it with "well JKR wasn't actually involved with the game…"
I have a lot of TRA mutuals on my fandom/art accounts but I follow enough people on social media that so far I've been able to pretend not to see those posts by them without a problem. I plan to make some innocent HP related posts when the game comes out and to play dumb if anyone tries to call me out. I plan to use the same "JKR wasn't even involved" excuse and if they push it they will have to present me with evidence, which I know doesn't exist so good luck kek

nonnies, can you recommend any good, long gen fics? i'm specifically NOT looking for "all the marauders and snape are gay" fics, and more like "what if" scenarios that someone took the time to explore. like "what if harry had grown up among wizards" or stuff like that. i remember back when i was a teenager people actually took years to rewrite the entire series to show how harry being a girl would change the entire story, or something like that.
basically fics that aren't horny fujo material.

I guess peter would be able to get into the girls dorms if the house elves apparate him there along with the rest of the students stuff but he probably wouldn't be able to go back if he goes down.

What is your favourite or most memorable crossover fanfic that you read? I only managed to find one of the fics that stood out which surprised me honestly. I think that authors from when the books were still being published have deleted their work or are on another site that is not fanfiction.net, I'll try to find them to make sure
>To The WindReincarnated!Ron. Ron lives. He dies. And somehow, he lives again. Only it's not him this time, it's not the Wizarding World, it's not magic, and he wishes things weren't this complicated.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9249261/1/To-the-WindWhile abandoned I find it does give a somewhat satisfying regarding Ron displacement and I like how he had to figure things out like the naming convention, culture and a bit of himself. I remember waiting for it to be updated or for the rewrite, but I quite like how it is and it is one of my favourites.
Will admit that at the time I never even heard about Naruto. However after reading the manga up to a certain point I went back and still liked it very muchThe crossover with the Tenth Doctor from Doctor Who, mistaken for Barty Crouch Jr. and another fic that crossovers with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Faith and Ron go back in time to stop an Apocalypse from happening, not on fanfiction.net, I don't really remember what site it was on.
Ended up sadly with only one fanfic recommendation in the end. However these are what stood out to me through the years and I hope that the rest of them haven't deleted their works. Please share with me, your favourite even obscure ones are welcome.
No. 268809
>>268737I haven't read many crossovers so I don't have any recs, I read some hp/doctor who, because that's a crossover I'm really interested in, but they were confusing multi fandom stuff or the type of stuff that hardly explores doctor who setting and magic together (might be just ao3 though, ff.net is hard to navigate so I haven't done any big search), and I'd like to see these two stories actually mixing up and not just the Doctor making everyone's life magically better because time travel, come on, it's the Doctor, not Mary Poppings! That guy is expert in endangering his companions, not fixing their lives, that's the fun of it. I wish there were interesting long hp/doctor who fics. I wonder how come Doctor and the marauders stuff aren't more popular when marauders era seem to be a popular setting for time travel fics, and they seem perfect for long fics because characters like James and Lily just don't have enough characterization, and I'd love to see them and the other marauders explored without the heavy focus on shipping most stories go about. There is so much in these two stories that you could do anything with it, and I think the most interesting thing of doctor who are the villains, so I'd love to see a story that uses them. I'm honestly tired of the many ways time travelling hp characters could end Voldemort, would be nice to see them expelliarmusing some Cybermen or something.

My TRA friends/mutuals are raging about the hogwarts legacy game so hard right now. I hope this will finally lead to mass peaking, troons could not have picked a worse enemy: a beloved children's book author who stands up for female rights (somehow without being labelled a man-hating femnazi), has fuck-you-money and puts her money were her mouth is, opens a rape crisis centre, is one of the few celebs with a spine and refuses to back down on her views, is quite attractive, intelligent and well-spoken and is all around just wholesome.

>>270781Sort of, but not really. When troons use it it's to insult and discredit women the same way they used femnazi. But terfs aren't mainstream the way a regular "angry feminist" is/was. My older colleagues still don't know what a
terf is and when I explain it they think it's silly and dismiss it, but they know exactly what someone means when they talk about an "angry feminist" and assume it's an unjustified screeching man-hating woman who wants all men to die. That's what I meant, I haven't seen any normies who think JKR is the stereotypical "angry feminist" who wants all men to die.
>>270892>what do you do when hp and jkr come up in conversation and they start reeeing?I ignore everything they say and don't engage at all with anything jkr/HP related. I literally act as if I haven't seen any of it ever. If it comes up in more direct ways I play dumb and innocently change the subject. If they say "jkr is a
terf" I'm just like "huh I don't really keep up with online drama and celebrities at all, oh by the way have you seen this Other Thing (some cherry picked mutual interest, so I know they'll take the bait) what do you think of it?? Isn't This Thing cool??".
If they're still reeeing I ignore it and go on about the topic I brought up. I try to give them 0 satisfaction for bringing it up, they only parrot these things for social points so if it doesn't go according to their subconscious plan (i say thing, you agree, now you say same thing, and i agree = social bonding, i did good) it doesn't give them "i did the socially right thing"-dopamine and they'll stop bringing it up.
If needed I plan to use the excuse: "negative topics like that are really
triggering for me right now so can we pretty please talk about something else". If REALLY pressed on something like "twaw right? you agree RIGHT??" I again keep it as short as possible and then change the subject like "yeah of course, anyway Other Thing…" just so they drop it and lower their guard.
I can play these people all day, they're all brainwashed and use the same tactics and arguments without thinking for themselves when it comes to troon topics kek

terf queen JKR (which should be punishable with death!).
Now I see a lot of them instead trying to distance HP things from JKR, such as them saying the movies were made by other people and not her so it's ok to watch them, and covering/removing her name from the book covers while still keeping the books. It's like they noticed normal people have no interest in cancelling HP for some unspecified reason for trans people, so they pretend that people still care about trans rights by saying consuming HP is fine as long as you still agree JKR is evil.

>>271720Oh yeah. I see it in groups that have normies mixed with gendies and it's mostly the gendies and handmaidens doing this to justify their contributions to fandom or why they're still consuming HP stuff without feeling guilty. I think thats dumb. You either stop consuming something by the author you disagree with entirely or you aknowledge their work is theirs. To me this is very hypocritical to keep consuming something by an author you don't want give money to when even producing art or fanfiction is a way to keep their legacy alive, so it makes no sense to me these people keep creating stuff while claiming the author won't get anything out of it and their legacy is dead. Would be better if they had the spine to just stop consuming anything by JKR and stand by their choices and beliefs.
It's not even that hard, JKR is one of the most famous authors but there are lots of other childrens books. The TRAs could easily start promoting other childrens book authors with the large platform they have, but you only see them using it to try dragging JKR or silencing and persecuting other women for wrongthink or to promote harmful shit to kids. None of the books they try promoting come close to HP, because it is always trans shit with pedo messages.
It's funny they think they will be on the "right side of history" while acting like freaking Umbridge or Voldy. Can't wait for the day this all will come crashing down on them.
Also a bit ot but the group I'm in always have someone saying shit about JKR, sometimes they don't even refer to her by name, still they all love Lovecraft's work. I read some of it and was so uncomfortable by the amount of racist shit in his stories that I couldn't read anymore. I find extremely weird these people have the gall to talk about Harry Potter being racist while expressing no problem with Lovecraft's stories, which I always see people talking about but rarely goes into debate about the shitty stuff unlike Harry Potter. People also comment on another author (don't remember his name but I think his book got 1 movie and it's about war and some ant like aliens? I only watched the movie but can't recall the name or much of it) And these same people are always so respectful about this author and the way they talk about his work while still aknowledging he is
problematic because of his views. It just makes me feel like I'm going insane, these different expectations for female authors, how people can easily ignore the shit like racism that is in stories of the types of Lovecraft but whoa, a woman dared call her asian character Cho Chang and defend women's rights. Makes me want to cry of frustration.

I wonder what they mean by "more mature"? I keep seeing people saying the same stuff, but HP have themes that might go flying straight over the kids heads if they're too young to understand, because it simply isn't too on the nose the way TRAs like. You see that a lot in fanfics, they always write preachy shit and there is no nuance at all. It's like we regressed to that childish belief that if an author writes about a "
problematic" society and these problems are not solved as soon as they're brought to light, then it means the author endorse these things. Drives me nuts!
Ramblings about fanfics and prechy authors:
The other day I read a fic where Lupin helps Lily bring awareness to the whole menstruation thing and honestly, I can't really remember how they did that because as I read that shit all I could think is "why the hell a boy in the 70s would care about something won't ever affect him" (and a spineless boy like Lupin, no less!) and kinda blocked most of it but I knew as soon menstruation was brought up that the author would be using THAT phrase.. yes we are talking about "people who menstruate". Just imagine hating women that much that you're proud of it.
and don't get me started on the oc that appears in the first chapters, who is obviously a woman but calls herself something stupid and later when she gets out of Hogwarts she is able to live her truth… as a feminine, stupidly named, woman. Can't imagine having actual problems as a woman in the 70s Another story which I already knew it was going to be a trainwreck but read it anyway because curiosity got the best of me was one where the author made Snape some sort of black haired Draco Malfoy and completely disregarded his backstory so they could justify James bullying him instead of giving James an actual personality to make us care for him despite him being a dumb bully. It is easier to just have James be a perfect person and Snape be the designated bad guy than addressing stuff, typical "this character is bad, so he deserves it, thus this is not a bad thing". It is all black and white. There is no grey, no flaws, and no chance for these characters to grow, and this, funnily enough, makes these stories come across as very immature, like a teen wanting to change the world but not really dealing with actual hardships, the consequences and results of change, and growing up and realizing people are more complicated than being just good or evil, which even Harry Potter himself came to realize.
I think the irony about that last story was that the author wanted to make a commentary on classism and poverty that she felt JKR was unable to do, all while ignoring the actual canon poor character and making him a Draco clone. (And fucking tagging it as canon compliant!)
Sorry about this wall of text about fics but I get so frustrated wih this fandom completely disregarding the characters backstories and stuff from canon and then claiming they are exploring "themes JKR was too much of a coward to explore"!!!! Like, dude have you read the fucking books. Why do they need more mature if they can't grasp half of the messages HP is trying to convey…
>>271963Lmao that is even better.

No. 273905
>>273878Yes, you are correct. Fantasy races (goblins, dwarves, etc), discrimination, slavery, and sexism are known tropes of the fantasy genre that many authors, old and new, still implement in their stories today. Some definitely worse than others and some not. I'm reading a popular fantasy series now that features slavery of both humans and a made up race and no one is offended by it in discussions ever. In fact, no one says any of this stuff is offensive in other books (YA community aside). So why does JKR get shit for it? Even back before she was labeled trannyphobic and hated for wrong think? I always saw discourse pop up on my dashboard about those things and I didn't even use tumblr for HP fandom or social justice. I remember seeing some Asian girl's slam poetry about being offended over the name Cho Chang. The argument is that it's two last names from two different cultures. I remember posts of people saying it's bad that the dwarves didn't want to be freed. Also that Hermione was white savior-ing them. The goblins as Jewish caricatures take might be a more recent thing as white nationalists online started to hit major news and freak people out? Not sure, but the rest was all before idiots crowned her as the new Hitler so the discourse was never flat out attacks on her as a person like it is today. Just braindead takes. But also many people standing up against these braindead takes, which now gets you labeled as a
terf, dogpiled, and excommunicated so no one wants to stand up anymore. I think all the nitpicking is because Harry Potter might be the only book series these people read that wasn't homework/required reading so that's their only point of reference. And because she's a female author and women are always over-criticized for any creative work they put out in the world.

>>273869I'm seeing the same thing, a lot of woke millenials who used to be huge HP fans are clearly trying to convince themselves and police each other to not play the game.

A comment on a video of a youtuber playing Hogwarts Legacy, I'm laughing but it was the only negative comment I found, all the other comments were excited about the game. The video in question is by callmekevin, who is easily one of the most unproblematic people I've ever seen, I was wondering if he maybe wouldn't play it even tho he's such a fan of HP. I'm using him as a reference because he's not at all controversial or dramatic. I guess that now that it's released, the tra cries will be drown out by people enjoying the game.
No. 274125
>>273878>could someone spoonfeed me on why this is offensiveIt isn't actually offensive, but that tumblr era was OBSESSED with calling out people to cancel them, especially celebrities. Before this era of trans being the single topic sjw cares about it was a little bit more broad. There were entire blogs dedicated to listing every teeny tiny little wrongdoing every famous/semi-famous person had done. They wore makeup slightly too dark for their skin? Blackface. Wore fake fur? Supporting animal cruelty by making fur seem glam. Cosplaying anime characters who don't even have their race stated? Racist yellowface.
Not a single one of those are exaggerations, I saw all of that happen.
>>273905>I remember seeing some Asian girl's slam poetry about being offended over the name Cho Chang. The argument is that it's two last names from two different cultures.I remember this too, she called JKR racist for not using proper Korean names and saying Cho is a last and not a first name etc… and then a Chinese girl commented on it correcting it that the name was a
valid Chiense name. The name doesn't look Korean to begin with so idk what that poety girl was on about but the video of it got big.
Personally I see the Hermione-slave elf thing as a sort of commentary on the trope in fantasy content, because they ARE so common and no one usually bats an eyelid about it. It's a funny unusual take on it.
The goblin thing is… interesting. I honestly think some sort of 4chan level trolls started the rumor to make people associate jews with goblins under the guise of "social justice". But there is some kind of history to it as well. The traits European folklore give to evil creatures like goblins, trolls, imps, fairies etc are very similar, they're just the "evil" traits: ugly, too small or too big, greedy, evil, dirty, hairy, big noses and ears, evil pointy eyes, sharp teeth, they use dirty tricks. And so on.
And what do you call your enemies? Bad things! You insult them by making them out to be like these ungodly trolls and goblins. If you look up old steretypes about whatever group that culture considers an enemy you get the same traits as I listed before. So while the goblin stereotype has been used for jews on occasion to insult them, they've also been used for countless other groups of people and weren't a "jew" thing. It's like how the Brits used to portray the Irish as monekys and apes. Doesn't mean monekeys and apes are bad or that Curious George or Tarzan is meant to represent Irish people.

Hopefully a random celebrity will say something unforgivable soon and the troons will move to a different target so the female youtubers will be able to play this game without the drama too.

Am I the only one a bit disappointed that we never got to see the actual robes like in the books in either the films or games? Picrel is what JK drew but I seen some cool renditions of the robes from the fans and I was a bit sad that they only wore basic brit school uniforms instead.
I remember a titbit where Snape got pushed over or something from the marauders which ended up with his pants being exposed which wouldn't have happen if he wore the film uniforms.

Speaking of that Snape scene, I noticed some people headcanon he started wearing pants under his robes after the event, so this doesn't happen again kekk, guess it's my headcanon too. I really like canon Snape but I also love what movie Snape wears so I like when people mix it.
I think my biggest disappointment when it comes to clothes in the movies was Dumbledore's clothes… dude looks so boring. Big missed opportunity, movie Dumbledore would be young me fav character if he dressed like he does in the books. I definitely like him a lot more in the books, and I don't have anything against the actor.. he looks… Dumbledorish, but man, were is his sense of style?
>>274445I love these ridiculous names..
>>274488Dumbledore would be too. Remember when he gave Snape a hat similar to what Neville gave the boggart? And then he wore it when Snape rejected! I guess the entire wizarding world wouldn't subscribe to this muggle madness.. except maybe Hermione because she tries to understand every side and is too empathetic and young, like many of us when we were sympahetic to trans bullshit.

Remus Lupin
Voldemort
Hagrid

There's something so sweet about Hagrid being the one to truly stand up for what is right, and then we have the marauder making a meme when mocking it, splendid casting. I wonder if the fact that actors who play evil characters are used to unfairly getting shit (because people can't separate the role from the actor) has a part in why a lot of them played villains. Or maybe it's because people who play villains are often quirky and used to being "outcasts", not afraid to not blindly follow the norm.

>>275215I like Thewlis as Lupin, I think he was perfect for that part but yeah, they're all too old and it shows. Sirius, Snape, Lupin and Pettigrew were supposed to be in their 30s. I do hope they get that right if they do a remake one day, and no fuglies Chalamet-looking guys for Sirius, I'd vomit. I'm so tired of these young popular actors of nowadays, they all look the same and all the fancasts on the internet have everyone looking so fucking boring when the books have these really colorful descriptions..

What predictions has come true regarding the game and audience? I don't have the game yet and I haven't checked reviews of either.
>trannies and handmaidens cry abuse/whine about the game to normies, who don't give single shit about it
Although some normie youtubers and other has given the classic I don't support/or hate Jk, sowy speech
What I was surprised about the most is that people are peaking with the game due to the whiners and when I took a second look at Sirona, which at the time I thought every man and women looked kinda ugly at the game but nope it was just Sirona who looked haggard and ugly looking like most trannies

>>275391My s/o is playing it and I am watching because I am too busy working on my own stuff, and gosh, this game is amazing. I am seriously impressed, i have never thought that it would be that good. I know people keep asking for co-op or multiplayer but this game feels like a pure single-player RPG, i am deeply in love with the buildings.
Also, the 'tranny' character that the devs put in the game makes me laugh a lot. Even in the wizard world, trannies will always be the most obvious men in skirts, kek. The name too, ~Sir~ona Rayan. I am glad they kept some realism. It's a male character's face with a female hairstyle and chest, while still having a male voice, and doesn't seem annoying at all. An extremely self-aware one too. But this tranny is literally a small npc that you shouldn't care about, after all it's just a npc.

Hope I'm not being too annoying but I'm copy-pasting this from 2X to give advice on what to do if you have friends who are mad at you for playing the game.
Just a tip for if/when your friends attack you over it, saying something along the lines of
>but it hurts trans people and JKR is transphobic
Ask how many games they've played that have sexist depictions of women. And violence towards women. Many games have literal acutal, brutal violence depicted. Plenty of women have been begging you to not play these sexist violent games, for years. If you didn't see it it's only because you give 0 shit about women and didn't listen, because it's not hard to find. Does that mean you hate women and want this violence to be real? Does it mean you support sexist violent treatment of women? And the age old question: did these violent games turn you and other people violent? Or was it… just a game?
This game doesn't actually depict or promote any anti-trans rhetoric. (If they say goblins are jews call them out on the fact that they're wrong and that's a retarded myth made by antisemitic people)
And taking away the fantasy aspect, how many shitty sexist and abusive game devs haven't been revealed? Why aren't you protesting against them like you've done for HL? Is this literal sexual abuse of real women (meaning they exist and it happens, not "cis") not as bad as trans people having their feelings hurt that a millionaire who wasn't involved in the game got richer? Does it mean everyone playing the game is in 100% support of that sexist game dev? Or did they perhaps just want to play an exciting game they've been waiting for for years?
To not be accused of being a terf add in something like:
You know I'm not against trans people, I don't think the staff is against trans people either, I just want to enjoy this game with my friends so I will do so.
If they STILL disagree and think you're a bad person take note and in the future every time they mention a game google to see if it has ANY sexist depictions of women, violence, controversies surrounding staff members etc and ask why the support that. Every time.
If you lose a friend over THIS, they weren't worth keeping around. Go make better friends.

what are your thoughts concerning Ron?
imo, he was a bit neglected by jkr. while Hermione stood by herself his role (and little characterization) ended up overshadowed by his family (specially the twins).
he is a petty little bitch that at least once a book has a big fight with H&H over the dumbest shit. even if annoying, i kinda of understood why he was an envious asshole, and when he wasn't throwing a fit he was a pretty loyal friend.

and let's say hypothetically all of this was intentional. What the fuck is the message? "lol when there was a jewish revoult in real life, jews in Harry Potter also did a revoult", and they referenced cheese? Even if we accept this is true, what does this say? It says literally nothing. It'll be like if the Shinra Inc. in Final Fantasy lead a revoult that was similar to some obscure anti-Chinese revoult: the races aren't even the same, the similaries of theming is not there, and at best you can say that they used an extremly weird basis.

>>275609I think this was discussed on an earlier thread, the reasons why people hate the Weasley parents:
>Having a bunch of children while aware that they can't afford it. >Ron mentions that his father could have had a higher paying job but that he didn't because he loved muggle shit, thus prioritizing his retarded hobbies over the wellbeing of his children. Though Arthur seems to eventually change his mind and accepts a promotion later in the series, it seems he did so reluctantly, as there's this quote in the book when he's promoted: ""So you see, it’s a very important job, and I tell him it’s just silly to miss dealing with spark plugs and toasters and all the rest of that Muggle rubbish.” Mrs. Weasley ended her speech with a stern look, as if it had been Harry suggesting that it was natural to miss spark plugs."
>The whole reason why they have so many children is because they wanted a daughter, but once Ginny is born they ignore her and allow her siblings to mistreat her. So what was even the point? For example Quidditch was one of Ginny's biggest passions but her siblings didn't even let her play to the point she had to secretly steal their brooms and play by herself. No. 275887
>>275874Oh yeah, the way he treats girls, especially Lavender and Hermione, I think I said it somewhere in the old threads this is pretty much what I hate about him even though I like Ron.
This whole discussion plus someone mentioning slytherin Harry reminds me of a fic I read once where Ron is sorted into slytherin… the fic is not even about him but I liked the idea and I wish there were more fics about it that actually focus on him and his family without going "dark Ron" or whatever and that also changes a bit his dynamic with Harry and Hermione. I also wish there were more fics about the siblings dynamics outside Hogwarts. Ginny is my least favorite Weasley but she was interesting during the chamber of secrets with the diary (lmao that valentine she sent Harry), so I'd really like to see more about that but it always comes down to romance in these fics and I just want to read the siblings interacting!!!! I guess people just hate the Weasleys too much to write a long fic about them kek

I saw so much weird discourse last time I went there, bizarre shit like how Snape is a tots queer icon and JKR totally did him dirty and that is proof she is homophobic. Backwards explanation to why (something about looks, bad at sports, something something about brewing potions being like cooking = woman role = queer?) crazy ass shit and that was enough to make me drop any hopes of ever going back to tumblr. I miss so much when people would share their headcanons and they had nothing to do with politics and retarded gender roles and thats all they'd be, headcanons, not a rule you can't deviate from.

No they were just written on a not-too-complex level because they were for kids, and as a kid you proved that it hit the target. You as an adult now thinking it's not adult enough is not a flaw of the books. What's next, super mario isn't an accurate enough representation of a plumber for you?
Oh she used harmless, fun, silly, "stereotypical" names in a fantasy book? Boohoo what bad writing.
Oh as a child you didn't notice that the old man who preaches love, dresses in flamboyant clothes, has a calm sweet disposition, and had a close "complex" relationship with another young man - was gay all along? Must be Rowling retconning him to be gay to seem woke.

>>276820Never seen troon Remus thankfully but I had the displeasure of seeing ftm Snape in fanart, makes me so mad! Just draw/write him as a girl! Also mtf!Harry, ftm!Hermione and the worst imo ftm!Ginny in fics.
I noticed the fandom nowadays seems really young, and some people seem to have only read HP and fanfiction, so the wokeness comes from there I suppose, they're stuck in a bubble where everyone has the exact same opinions.
In my experience, Remus specifically and wolfstar are gendie magnets. I'd rather read Remadora than wolfstar because I know there won't be any bullshit unless they make Tonks kweer [insert 500 labels]. I think this might be due to Remus being The ultimate softboi.. these people might've not really read the books because Remus doesn't resemble canon one bit. I don't wanna go "it's probably tiktok's fault" but it's probably tiktok's fault kek, I have no idea where this stuff is coming from but I heard HP is pretty popular on tiktok. Besides, I keep seeing characters that appear in the books in name only becoming these huge characters in fics, like Dorcas/Marlene ship, I had no idea who these two were.. imagine my susprise when reading the books again to find out they're just names. Dorcas/Marlene fics where they're not the main pairing are performative as hell, you just can tell they're there so the writer doesn't get accused of fetishizing The Poor Gay Men.
Also Regulus seems to attract weirdos too, I just found that "jegulus" is a thing and I hate it. Sirius would never allow this.
I have a really hard time liking Regulus because people always write him as some soft misunderstood little boy who never really believed any shit his family taught him… I don't understand how people can write Snape as a honest to God psychopath serial killer and in the same story make Regulus a poor boy that had no idea what he was getting into lol.
I noticed f/m content have less woke crap but it's bleeding into it recently too with nonbinarism, cus wearing pants and cutting your hair short actually makes you less of a woman lmao. Snape and Lily are almost a queer couple if you ask me, she only needs a pixie cut, since he is already pretty femme with his cooking skills, long hair and testerics.

And I don't know what difficulty level to stick to because easy is boring but I get wrecked on normal, especially by bosses.

>>277178Same! I'm about 10 hours in (going at a very leisurely pace) and I'm having so much fun just exploring and looking at all the details. Everything is gorgeous, I picked Hufflepuff just because I figured their common room would be the coziest and it exceeded my expectations, pic related. I haven't fast travelled once outside of the times the game forces you to, just because walking around the castle is so nice. I also don't mind the boring collectibles since it gives you more incentive to explore, and if you were going to spend a ton of time exploring anyway you just kinda naturally come across them without having to search. Difficulty wise I play on normal but I'm definitely not great at the combat yet, I barely get by while chugging health potions and panic-mashing the dodge button. I think that's just because it's been a while since I last played a game with real time combat as opposed to turn based, and I'm prone to panicking when reaction speed is important. It'll get better with some practice.
It's a great game overall but if I had to give one point of critique I do feel a bit disappointed with the lack of interaction with npcs. The students in the castle are fun to watch, but the fact that they don't react to your character at all regardless of what you do makes it feel a bit hollow sometimes, like you're a ghost unless there's specific quest-related dialogue. I understand that giving every random npc voice lines and dialogue options would be unrealistically ambitious, but I wish I could at least talk to professors without having to wait for them to talk to me. It also would be cool to have a bunch of random students and hogsmeade npcs that you could have short interactions with, even just simple dialogue options that aren't relevant to the plot but offer some immersion.

>>276924I've seen jily where it's FTM!James and MTF!Lily fucking kek, J/L has always been a terrible ship (JKR has terrible taste in pairings most of the time) so I guess some people cope extra hard. Also wolfstar has always been boring with a lot of entitled fans. When HP fandom was mostly based on livejournal
i might be an oldfag Regulus was written as a soft twink then, too. Shipping him with Gaymes Poppers didn't used to be popular but there was a lot of him with Sirius or Remus, usually a uwu bottom with a dark side so maybe he's even more of an OC now? People think he's cute and looks like Timmy Chalamet or something. Pretty sure JKR specified he was uglier than Sirius and definitely died a virgin. I like the idea of him but it's more fun when he's a loser.

Sage for blogpost. I just have nowhere else to speak so freely.
I'm just so over of the level of cope fucking everywhere. "HP isn't even good! It's mid! I never REALLY liked it" Shut the fuck up, you loved it. You know you did. Everyone did. I saw you at the fucking midnight premier party for book Deathly Hallows at Barnes and Noble.
I don't care that others claim they don't like it, but it's so silly to see so many people I personally know just blatantly lying and expecting everyone else to just jump on the bandwagon. I'm not saying shit. Radio silence from me on all fronts.
They know their boycott has failed miserably and they're just grasping at fucking anything at this point.
I'll get shit on here for admitting it, but I consider myself an ally, to a very specific & small degree.. I want the people who are truly suffering to be able to do what they need to in order to stay alive and be safe, but they need to leave others the fuck alone & not be fucking pedos. I guess I'm only an ally to a smaller percentage… but now even that is dwindling. My patience is wearing so thin. There's so few "good ones". I have trans friends playing the game too, staying just as silent as I am. TiF's only, of course lol.
I dunno. My eyes are just sore from rolling so many times every fucking day. It's taking a small degree of effort to not just reply "COPE." On every stupid post. Today it was the joke, "HP fans used to have one lightning bolt on their heads, now they have two!"
Like okay. Fucker. Push your more normal allies further and further away. See if I'll show up for the fight when shit that actually matters goes down. Why don't they use the energy to fight where it actually makes a difference?? Legislature in the US is being pushed every fucking day, but you ask any of these screechy dipshit troons and handmaids about it and they have no idea what you're talking about because they're too preoccupied harassing internet strangers about the video games they play in private. It's pathetic.
Anyway. I'm having a blast with Legacy and I hope we get DLC. Quidditch is obvious and the groundwork for Triwizard Tournament is already laid out so perfectly.

>I don't understand how these people read HP and think JKR would have written anything like this.At first I thought these people were just stupid and had no reading comprehension but it's been so long since they started twisting her words that I think it's done on purpose to make her seem like a bigot and a retarded, incompetent writer. They're just seething that hard. They're the same people who started the whole "Harry Potter is a rich white guy with famous parents who marries his high school sweetheart and becomes a cop!!1!" like yeah but that's a very surafce level interpretation and his story is more similar to, idk Cinderella because of all the crazy hardships he has to overcome to not have a shit life anymore with his
abusive family and his crazy stalker who murdered his parents and ruined his life. They know all that but don't care. Same thing with "JKR said Hermione was always meant to be black but she's just deflecting to hie her transphobia" when all she said was that Hermione can be interpreted as a black british girl if you want and that you should stop being racist towards her actress in the Cursed Child (or whatever it's called).

There will be stories where the bad guys are an evil cult that says they cure children by mutilating them. Where the evil oppressors pretend to be the oppressed. Where the bad guys erase and ban all language to describe an oppressed minority group so they no longer have words to describe themselves. And just like how we look at Voldemort and see clear parallels to Hitler, we'll all see clear parallels to all the things the trans ideology did. That will be their only legacy.

i just found the book of admittance in the game and i'm fascinated by it, especially since the wiki states:
>the Book's sternness had a purpose: its track record in keeping Squibs out of Hogwarts was perfect. Non-magic children born to witches and wizards occasionally had some small, residual aura of magic about them due to their parents, but once their parents' magic had worn off them, it became clear that they would never have the ability to perform spells. The Quill's sensitivity, coupled with the Book's implacability, never made a mistake.
i'm so curious about what it's like to be a squib in a magical family. i think it would make a good story for a next game, like some acceptance movement for non-magical children. i always wonder which school they attend, since, even if they are non-magical, they should still be able to know about history of magic, muggle studies, herbology, care for magical creatures… there are many subjects they can study at hogwarts, even without the ability to use magic. they could also work as special messengers (the people who hand over the hogwarts letters and explain the wizarding world to muggleborn witches and wizards) or specifically work in muggle institutions that need to know about the existence of magic.

Natty is good but weirdly written, I expected the cop lady to be corrupt/working with the poachers but it didn't happen. Main quest was annoying as hell except for the third and fourth trials.
Hopefully the sequel will have better writing overall.

>>287320I always knew that they would remake the movies. The og movies where made before all the books where written so it was hard to judge what information they should put in them. But I do love the two first HP movies so much they are so comfy. They have a very intriguing ams inviting atmosphere and I always yearn to step into the movies whenever I watch them. The stellar soundtrack and set design and color choice helps. I don't think a remake will be able to feel so magical.
Tbh I'm sureprised that they are not attempting to make it into an cartoon or anime. Harry Potter is popular in Asia and anime has become mainstream in the west so they could easily collab with some big anime studio. And if they don't want to do that I'm still sureprised that they haven't attempted to make a 3d Harey Potter cartoon

>>287353https://archiveofourown.org/works/40116972?view_full_work=trueHere's a fic focusing on Petunia's perspective on her sister getting to become a witch and not her. It also a AU where she meets a monster in the woods which I won't spoiler and focuses on magical beasts, being the less loved daughter and older sister to a more talented sister
which is more relatable regarding siblings then the both of them making up and being bffs because their sisters as some fix-it fics do and a magical OC love interest instead of Vernon. I feel like this is the most believable Petunia fic where her personality doesn't get a complete overhaul into a super nice, done nothing wrong and everyone likes me fics. My explaination does not give the story justice, so please read the first chapter before dropping it.

>>287320Prediction, they will cast a biracial actor for Harry or Hermione. I don't think I would mind if Hermione was played by a black or mixed girl. I know there is a lot of discourse around it but I don't mind much. I just hope they keep her big curly hair and don't give up at like the third movie with Emma Watson.
>>287340I think it would be funny if Ben Barnes would be played by sirius since the fandom always casted him as young sirius. Maybe he is to old now tho, but i think he's still handsome.

>>287365I highly suspect they are going to pander to trans people but tbh it would be so stupid if they do. TRA have already decided that Harry Potter is a modern Mein Kampf so they are not going to watch it anyway. Besides Harry Potter is big on an international scale so people from all over the world are going to watch this and there are countries where people aren't so familiar with trans politics so they are going to get confused by a trans or enby character. If they add one the character will probably be showed in the back and have a minor role, but that wont satisfy the few trans potterheads that are left because it's not proper ~representation~. It would be better to not add a trans character at all because there is no way they can win if they do

No. 287577
>>287356My absolute nightmare scenario for this is if they make it "edgier" by doing the typical shit like amping up sexual relations. I also don't want them to only hire the typical hot super model actors for constant eye candy for average characters, that's a massive pet peeve of mine. It makes sense for characters who are meant to be hot/beautiful like Fleur (although the movies really failed on that casting in particular) or maybe even Sirius who is supposed to look a bit like a rock star. I really do not want a foxy Molly Weasley played by a 28 year old, or for a roided up Voldemort to suddenly be built like he injects steroids directly into his blood steam on the daily.
But on the other hand I also really don't want them to go the winx remake route where the cast completely missed the mark on every level just so they could look "inclusive" by having "ugly" and chubby girls in the main cast.

>>289534I like him but it's better when they keep him true to his character. Even if they go through the route of woobiefying him a bit, I do hope to see all that bitterness. It also makes Harry's character and his decision to forgive Snape (and give that awful name to his kid) stand a lot more. Like, they both have a lot of similarities and I think even Harry and another character say it at some point but the huge difference between them is how Harry in the end was able to forgive and move on, while Snape isn't, and that, to me, is actually very realistic portrayal of a person who was bullied and is very messed up, I think the way he treats the kids is very consistent to this portrayal, he is stuck in the past but now he is in a position of power he didn't have before.. and you know what happens when you put the loser up there while giving him free rein. It also contrasts with the other teachers just how immature and young he is. I just didn't feel any of this in the movies, movie Snape looks more like a stern teacher, someone who will give you a bad grade because you are lazy and wasting his time, very different from the guy who broke Harry's potion on purpose after the occlumency lessons fiasco and insulted Hermione for no reason some time before that. I think changing Snape this much changed the other characters for the worse too, not even the marauders vs Snape felt as good and compelling as in the books. Also Draco & Snape too, didn't feel like Draco trusted Snape that much as he did in the books.
Also I just remembered the duelling club with Lockhart and I wish the movies made him as ridiculous as he was in the books, dropping his wand and all while trying to teach Harry a spell.

In the books she says she has been making excuses for him for years, and doesn't believe he is actually sorry because he calls every muggleborn 'mudblood', she is aware of the people he is associating with, of the things his friends have been doing.
There is a scene where he tells her he wants her to see the marauders are not "wonderful as everyone seems to think". I guess James is supposed to be a very charismatic and charming kind of guy + bullying not being taken seriously, maybe Lily didn't see how bad that was, maybe sometimes she thought it could be justified since Snape also put up a fight? And to be fair, I think he would attack them if he thought he might have the upper hand and as biased as Sirius sounds, maybe Snape was indeed really good with dark magic so young and that simply doesn't paint him as a
victim.
Snape seems completely unable to tell her exactly what is his problem with the marauders. From his frustration with her saving him during that scene Harry sees, I guess he just doesn't want to be seen as weak. Can't really blame Lily when this guy is so difficult.
No. 290274
>>290203I agree with this. It's sort of the equivalent of your childhood best friend growing into a nazi, when you're part Jewish yourself. I think people ostracizing and bullying a person with death eater/nazi views probably wasn't seen as THAT bad by the onlookers. On the contrary James and co. who stood up against it became seen as heroic and brave for being against the dark arts.
I've personally had male classmates who were truly rude, bully-ish assholes, who did a 180 in maturity in the spam of the 3 years I knew them and they grew up to be genuinely nice at the end of it. It's honestly realistic growth for them to turn out decent once they've grown and matured a bit.

>>305359I started playing Magic Awakening and so far I like it! The art style is super cute, the in-game lore is post-canon compliant and it feels true to the spirit of the books. (I love going to Weasley's Whizzes and seeing George there.) There's a lot of canon scene cameos in the cards we duel with. The storyline is pretty basic and I rolled my eyes quite a bit, but it's whatever and skippable at worst, the characters are all kids after all.
The gameplay is easy to understand, and the PvP introduces the "hard to master" type thing, if you want to grind through the ranks. The gacha feels pretty generous for a gacha, and altho there's quite some microtransactions already, it feels very F2P - many purchases are cosmetics related. There's so many cute ways you can dress up your character with the free items. There's even a small rhythm game portion (Dancing Club) and it's pretty alright!
Some complaints are:
- basic, kiddie storyline
- very wifi dependent - Hogwarts feels pretty lived in bc you see other players running around the castle, can take classes together, duel together, etc
- the files are big and my phone heats up quite a lot, though its kinda old-ish (samsung s9) so ymmv
- i want more song variety in the rhythm game - rn its all waltzes and tangos
- you cant actually brew potions, it's less like Cooking Mama and more like 'press X to doubt'. I was so so sad to find this out
- you cant do a ton of exploring yet - part of the gradual feature rollout, I hope. e.g cant buy stuff from George's shop, there's no Knockturn Alley, etc
They're introducing more features over time so the players can get used to them all instead of getting 50 things dumped at once, I'm really excited!! Gooooo Ravenclaw!

i don't get regulus/james. they enver even interact in canon. and tbh i don't get the james appeal. sirius is more interesting imo but most fics ignore his canon characterisation anyway
