Jk: Hogwarts didn’t have bathrooms
Me: then what room did Salazar build his chamber under?
excessively fangirling bookworm *always
LOL SO TRUE
The chamber was originally not under the girls bathroom. When the bathroom was being built there were risks that the chamber of secrets would be revealed. However the first air of Salazar (not Tom riddle) had to cover it up.
Under the lake..
@@possum2620 Yeah it was literally mentioned in the book, people need to reread the books
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child should not exist...actually for me it doesn't. It is totally without sense
The only reason I like it is cause of Scorpius and Albus' friendship.
I think it has its right to exist, but I will never see as the "eight book" or canon.
I'm annoyed because I heard it got bad reviews but now I'm hearing it was from the book
I don't understand why does everyone reject it as canon and hate it?
She told Oprah Winfrey she could easily see writing three other books after Deathly Hallows.
Even if Hermione's colour had never been mentioned in the books at all, it's still shown ON two of them. The front cover of Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (well, the version on my copy) shows Hermione sat behind Harry on Buckbeak, and the front of Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows (again, on my copy) has a picture of Harry, Ron and Hermione riding the wave of fake gold out of Bellatrix Lestrange's vault. Both pictures show her to be white.
Like I actually love the idea of poc Hermione but I feel lied to. As if I spent a decade with this huge lie and then she blames me for not seeing through it. And if she was really meant to be black, then why cast Emma Watson? I love her in this but then it’s white washing her character that JK apparently knew was meant to be black. This was when she could’ve set the record straight.
Actually she mentioned that Hermione is white in goblet of fire
@@Melanie-jy2nw I wouldn't have minded Hermione being black, either, if she hadn't already been shown to be white.
i have the illustrated versions by Jim Kay and even he gave her white skin. also she mentioned many times, things like "she went pale" or "she went red in the face" also in the third book i'm pretty sure, when she came back from holiday it said "she looked rather brown" meaning she got a tan.
@@fishandjam5383 I think they mentioned it in goblet of fire.
When she created me.............
Do you want to the date with dementor? It would be lovely if he kiss you!
@@funwithfantasia6625 Oh, I tried kissing a dementor but then it died. There actually not as bad as people say they are. Infact I felt happier when I was near a dementor. hem,hem
Now, Detention Fantasia for wasting my time
You are a sweetheart compared to her
they loved it when I was created
Professor Remus John Lupin we did...but are angry about your dead 😭trust me, he was my favourite character
No matter if Hermione’s skin colour was mentioned in the books, as long as it’s not central for her character who cares what the actress’s skin colour is??
The problem with Hermione being black is that she did it just to appear more inclusive when she wasn't. She hasn't done it to really include other people, but to avoid the backlash.
It's not representation or actually doing anything. It's just afterthought diversity and tokenism. She also said Hermione couldve been black when Hermione clearly wasnt in the book based on her description. Whenever there is a black character she points it out in the book. Angelina Johnson "a tall black girl" Dean Thomas " a black boy" Lee Jordan "a black boy" It was like she didnt want to admit she wrote a really white book which I dont blame her for since she wrote it a long time ago but this is not how you solve diversity by making one character black in your play who we know isnt.
Hermione is clearly white, though
Because us the fans have imagined her to look a certain way for years. It’s annoying when the author tries to change things up out of nowhere
@@SuperPhilliesphan10 Not only they imagined it, she described her that way.
Didn't Salazar Slytherin build the entrance to the chamber of secrets into the bathroom?
Which doesn't make sense since toilets weren't even invented in the muggle world back then
he did't. the entrance was first somewhere else. There is an article on the wizarding world website. I don't exaclty remember...
I believe that the chamber of secrets was built first in that room, and then the bathroom was built on top of it. It was definitely on Wizarding World.
@@dtduckling yeah sounds right :)
A desended gained the pluming contract and built it. So says pottermore
You release this video on her birthday 😂 harsh
Ironic isn't it.
She is a bigot
So im glad to see people catching on
Savage
Wild Card She’s not a bigot, you just disagree with her
@@EyeeyeCaptain she activly encurages our exclusion from society
So yeah, shes a bigot
The fact she gave the good guys painful and brutal deaths while she gave the bad guys much kinder deaths.
what do you mean???
Thats kinda true, but that feeling is mostly formed by the love you feel for that character.
For example: when I read the books first time I didn't like Sirius at all. I didn't care when he died. But when Dumbledore died I cried a lot. Their deaths aren't that different. The deaths also aren't that different from the bad guys' dads, but are mostly described in a way it feels horrible. She's really good at that.
(Maybe you mean that the good guys suffer much more, I agree. I take Dumbledore as an example. Brutal.
How dare you Sirius was best girl
@spicy chicken Dont worry she had a far more brutal fate...life sentence in Azkaban
@Diana • but Fred....🥺
The books have diversity.
Wizard Diversity.
There’s a Pure-Blooded main character, a Half-blooded main character and a Muggle-born main character.
Muggle-born
Rhiannon O’Riley Sorry! I corrected it! :)
kristian rikardsen that’s mugglephobic
;-;
You sound homophob-
That isn’t diversity, diversity Are different races etc. Not a blood type that was MADE UP.
kristian rikardsen did... did you really just say that? I guess you’re white since you made that comment. But yeah we have nothing complain because we see our race everywhere around us we don’t feel locked out. POC do so their should be different races and different sexuality’s.
Lets just enjoy the books and be done with it.
Good thing death of the author is a thing. At this point the fans have done more for the world of Harry Potter than her plot hole filled writing.
Have you READ her Galbraith books or The Cursed Child? Don't waste money on them..... They are awful!
I agree. People don't separate professional and personal very much. We love the books, but despise the author.
How can you when one of her books is a TERF manifesto
@@Fee212 yeah but some are real good
Okay I don't rlly like her and a lot of the stuff on this list is bad but some of it is just people looking for something to be angry about
I was fine with the wizard poop. That's basically how muggles lived: did it in a bucket and then dispose of it somewhere outside. Muggles in real life were grosser so where's the real shocker 🤷🏻♀️
Same.
But it does bring about a plothole. In Chamber of Secrets, we learn that Hogwarts founder Salazar Slytherin installed a Chamber of Secrets inside the castle, left it locked, for his descendent to open again in the future. The chamber's entrance is in the girls' bathroom, and the monster moves through the plumbing (supposedly). It contradicts the idea that wizards didn't have plumbing in Hogwarts when it was founded.
MsLyraGW, Exactly, that’s a HUGE plothole.
@@EditsByLyra I really care a little about that. It's not canon just because she said it. But we can make theories for the sake of it, and I have two. 1 - Hogwarts always had bathrooms and pipes, because of money and privilege so only common people had to make poop disappear (like the Starks in GoT have a complex and ancient heat system in Winterfell, while the rest of the north has to rely on fire or freeze). 2 - Hogwarts didn't have bathrooms, but more than one heir of Slytherin went to Hogwarts, maybe not only as a student but also as a teacher, so one of them could have their hands in the new plumbing system. We already know that bathroom can't be ancient as the school itself
@@lapersianaperta That s true
@@EditsByLyra it was stated that one of his ancestors went to hogwarts and modified the chamber with magic to keep from having it discovered
Clearly JK Rowling outed herself as Robert Galbraith, as it wasn't selling very well before hand.
Yeah cuz, as we all know, Jk "really needs" more money... Bitch has so much money that she and 3 generations after her don't need to work, so better make more money - cuz logic.
P.S. The book was doing well for a debut before she got outed.
@@roslindale Lawyers work under a client's instruction.
@@roslindale Just because you believe what you believe doesn't mean it's true either.
@@roslindale The news is always accurate 100%.
AS yeah I’m sorry but the lawyers get paid a LOT by Rowling. There’s no way it would be revealed if she didn’t wish it to be.
For those who choose not to count the cursed child canon myself included, maybe it can take place in a parallel reality
I watched the Cursed Child and it was amazing but I don’t count it in the same universe
I just pretend it doesn't exist
@@blueleviathan15 same
@@Melanie-jy2nw Same. It was an amazing show, on its own.
I think of it as a poison pen story written by an increasingly embittered Rita Skeeter. The goal is to tarnish the Golden Trio.
The Dumbledore thing is really dumb. How many people talk to their professors about the professor's love life, especially past love life. People seem to forget the books are told from Harry's pov. So of course he never talks to Dumbledore about his love life (that would not be appropriate at all). Sure some teachers may mention a spouse but that is assuming that they are in a relationship currently. This is not weird that it wasn't mentioned in the books, as why would it be. Now it should be a major part in the FB movies as they are both in it, which they can still fix in the next movie.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald could have had a thing every time I hear this take it annonys me. There definitely things to pick at rolling about but Dumbledore being gay isn't one for sure.
Then don’t mention his sexuality at all. JK Rowling has a very nasty habit of saying characters are/could be a minority and then goes out of her way to not show it off.
Okay, speaking as a lesbian myself here. Why is it bad that Dumbledore's sexuality wasn't "shown off" at all? I didn't realize being gay made you a zoo animal. There are several chrs that are probably straight, but it wasn't "explicitly stated/shown", but no one's going off about that.
Honestly, explicitly stating it and "showing it off" just seems to imply that it's something radically different rather than normal.
I would prefer more if a verse just put in different sexualities/races without being this big thing. We want to be seen as normal everyday people, not "that gay person".
Personally Dumbledore being gay did not make since of how she did it also for me it just didn't work but idk what do you guys think?🐻
She did not put Dumbledore as gay in the books because she was afraid it would affect sales. It is not surprising since she changed her first name "Joanne" to "J." in the cover because she was afraid boys would not read a book written by a woman.
Nobody:
J.k Rowling: Did you know Vernon actually cared for Harry?
I feel like nowadays no matter what one says one will get scrutinize and criticized for anything. Can't we just appreciate art for what it is? Moreover, when making art it's difficult to please everyone and to come up with something unique and great.
👏
Though I do agree, Retroactively changing things about your universe that weren't there to make them look good for the more modern generation and openly opposing and talking down to people (trans community) like they aren't people too is hard to include in "Being scrutinized for making art"
Fr, everyone needs to calm down lol
I mean if the person does rather crappy things, they need to be called out. Believe me or not, if Rowling never was a drama-seeking queen in the first place, she wouldn't have been in this situation rn.
I know it kinda sounds like victim blaming, but there are dozens of other creators who do not get called out on various crap and get cancelled over it. Well uh, maybe because they don't write stupid stuff in their Twitter seeking for attention?
Gen z are snowflakes I feel sorry for ppl born now, they literally take ANYTHING and turn it political honestly it’s stupid, you can’t have your own opinion/ views now without you being ripped into
She did not put Dumbledore as gay in the books because she was afraid it would affect sales. It is not surprising since she changed her first name "Joanne" to "J." in the cover because she was afraid boys would not read a book written by a woman.
Dude, her editor told her to use JK instead of Joanne. Because they were all convinced that she won't make money from children's book. It wasn't her decision, she wasn't happy about it.
But, I agree with Dumbledore part.
In my opinion put Dumbledore as gay is irrelevant because is not part of the story. It would look force
@@andreap4987 then why mention it later? Dumbledore being gay and in love with Grindelwald would have been an effective storyline.
@@karthikanair5162 no it wouldn't have been and she mentioned it later just like she mentioned that Hermione is black WHICH BOTH ARE NOT TRUE .. if you want to be inclusive then write new books, don't ruin the old ones.
@@tuned9905 technically she didn't mention Hermione's race explicitly. Only that she has frizzled hair, brown eyes and buck tooth.
So it is possible that Hermione is black.
About Dumbledore, yes she should have mentioned in the book instead of tap dancing around.
i will say at least half of them were just really trying too hard to find something wrong, such as the asian characters you cant win either way. she has said really dumb shit but some of these its like... eh.... i dont think she is that clever
I thought it was just me!
I like the Asian lady who played Nagini. What was wrong with her? The explanation is just plain stupid. The Potterverse seems diverse enough for me. When is the PC gang going to just go away and mind their own business?
When Joanne stops trying to represent people she fundamentally doesn't understand.
I loved the moment when Nagini turned into a snake in the movie. It was breathtaking. That plot twist was great, no matter what anyone says.
It is upsetting because one of the few non white characters is subservient to her white male overlords
@@FlowWolf7 because it was true to the historical time period. Thats just the reality of how POC women especially were living
I'm from Indonesia but I dont really care😕
Some of these are just... People finding an excuse to complain
We should probably rename cursed child to something else.
Like Percy Jackson fandom calls the movies that don't exists as "peter Johnson movies" which has nothing to do with Percy Jackson. We should totally do something similar.
As an aspiring writer I don’t see anything wrong with being inspired by a different culture, writers do that all the time, without being cultural appropriation because they put their own spin to it, even when they don’t change it much
My opinion about Hermione's skin color greatly depends on how we were used to seeing her always. The Hermione we grew up to know was white, no one can butcher that fact. Even before the movies came out, people made up this white girl with the brown bushy hair and buck teeth, while reading the character. The movies installed Emma Watson as Hermione Granger. The people who grew up with both the movies and the books, always read the books keeping the film cast in their mind.
Maybe, maybe, if they would have cast a brown or black Hermione in the films, people would not have had that many issues.
People had a hard time adapting to the fact that the original cast is not going to reprise their roles, and casting somebody who looks poles apart from Emma (Noma is absolutely amazing and beautiful tho), just gave them a harder time. And the PR team of Rowling made sure that a hell amount of backlash doesn't happen. Imagine her pissing all the population of the world by commenting on the two most pressing issues on the planet, LGBTQ+ community rights & Racism. She would have been finished.
Anyways, I always like to believe that the Harry Potter Universe consists of the 7 books, the Hogwarts Library, and films based on that. Cursed Child doesn't exist for me. Peace Out.
No! Hermione is just not black! No more explaination needed! I’m halfbrown and half asian so you can’t bump me off americans!
@@drinksomewaterfirst9704 lmao crybaby. It's not that deep.....it is based off of a novel character....let hermoine be whatever race u want her to be in ya head n grow up.
Hermione Granger Is White
Oh, poop! We know why they made her black - once again, the PC gangsters want to mind everyone's business. Hermione has been white in the books and the movies, so It's just more PC kowtowing, and its sickening. There have always minorities in the Potterverse, some in major roles. But Hermione? It is just stupid!
@@daisybtoes why do you hate Hermione being black so much.
@Captain Chris Potter it does in my opinion
Captain Chris Potter never I’m just saying
No shit Sherlock
When visiting the Shakespeare theater in England, I learned that originally at this famous theater, (Remember, this was back in the 1700, way before plumbing was invented) people would pee right where they were standing!-so there you have it, there was a time when, even in the mortal world, people did not have toilets-luckily, in the magical world, witches and wizards could clean up the mess with their magic wands, while in the mortal world, mortals had to cover up their mess, just like a cat using a litter box!
Aside from Rowling (correctly pronounced "Rolling," I've heard), the only famous, best-selling author I've ever known who second-guessed their novels was when Agatha Christie said she regretted was continuing to have to write about Hercule Poirot, whom she came to detest, and had to keep writing about him because the fans liked him. I've stated a number of times that Rowling should keep her mouth shut and let her work stand as it was. I've never thought Dumbledore's sex life should have any bearing on the stories, any more than some gay friends who loved telling how various actors were gay. Besides, Dumbledore is dead, isn't he? Stay safe, everybody.
People are so stupid , she can't be pleasing to all people all the time 🙄🙄🙄 and Also people forget chris Brown for almost killing Rihanna but can't forgive jk Rowling for some social media scandals 🤔
You should really ask the people who are mad at Rowling whether or not they've forgiven Chris Brown, because then you'll find out they don't like either of them.
Bold of you to assume that I've forgiven Chris Brown.
Today’s her birthday 😂sad
💀
Oops
Imagine if they didn’t realize lol
What about when she changed Voldemort’s name to Voldemor as the “T” was silent. Like why didn’t you say that before, when they were filming the movies?
I'm not upset by any of this. Guess that makes me worse than Voldemort 🤷♂️
Not worse than Voldemort, but just as bad as Rowling.
I think the only problems to me were her transphobic comments, along with her slight cultural appropriation.
The poop thing was weird and unecessary but nothing to get super angry or butthurt about.
Perhaps it does.
@@ambercastillo7863 nothing abut it was transphobic and cultural appropriation a bs notion that prohibits us from learning or taken inspiration of different cultures.
Y'all just want something to be mad about.
Are people just finding things to have a problem with J.K Rowling about now? People read way to much into fiction.
If Cho Chang had been named 'Jane Smith' or any other generic white name everyone would be up in arms about how a PoC character got whitewashed or westernized and that J.K didn't keep any of the character's Asian identity. You can't win either ways. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan but it embarrasses me how butthurt most of the fandom is.
I think they might have wanted something more like Jennifer Chang or something with a less stereotypical name.
greedy goblins is offensive wait till people hear about dwarves
bruh so u say me a asian girl is not allowed to be named an asian name because its rasist that an asian girl is named after an asian name ? damn that world
I’m so confused as to why people were so angry about Hermione being black. Theatre is the telling of stories and it doesn’t matter what race the characters are. Especially since the movies are fairly separate from the film.
yeah it wasnt mentioned in the books
Because number 1, it was never mentioned in the books that Hermione was black. Number 2, they would've cast a black actress for Hermione in the films. Yes it does matter because Hermione isn't some minor character. With all the major characters, we needed them to be as close to their book counterparts as possible
@@catguy4996 they never mentioned that Hermione was white. I thought they said she had big front teeth at the beginning and the she was kind of ugly.
Also, Harry Potter, the main character, was meant to have chronically messy hair and in the movies it was perfectly straight, my point is, the movies dont depict the books to exact details
Every time she writes another fanfiction of her own books.
Does anyone remember those books came out 20 years ago so obviously rappresentation was at a different level of awareness? It's been 20 YEARS (stop denying, we got old 😂). As a disclaimer, I stopped being a big fan some time after the last book so I'm not here defending the critical aspects of her work just for the sake of defending it, but for the sake of what I appreciate the most in life: rationality. Rationally we can't apply today's criteria to a series created 20 years ago by someone that was already an adult at the time (so a grown up in different times than ours). She actually teached to young people tolerance and other good things, we just developed it better than her, as it should be. I see her level of rapresentation as a good step during the transition between what was before and what we have today. Without middle steps we don't get up the stairs, so we can and should be critic about her work but, as we say here, we shouldn't spit in the dish we ate from.
Agreed! When I was reading these books religiously as a teenager and into college for the final few, I remember telling everyone how forward-thinking they were. How it was actually all about fighting for the rights of the oppressed peoples in the books - the house elves, the centaurs, the goblins, the muggles, etc. It's a different universe, and the parallels that can be drawn to our own fights for representation and equality are not so...plain? So spelled out? Though it basically is, but gosh, it's a lot of metaphor people...you gotta use your imagination!
100000000000% Even her outing Dumbledore was such a huge step for my community
If she wants to be inclusive then SHE COULD HAVE WRITTEN NEW BOOKS AND NOT RUIN THE OLD ONES. Simple as that!
@@tuned9905 I think she has already done her part in the acceptance process, we are ahead already and she can't do better. There is a moment in the life of many people where you simply stop keeping up with the changes of the world, because you can't. It doesn't happen to everybody but to a lot of people. It's just ironic that in her case she gave a big contribution before stopping behind
@@lapersianaperta if she wanted to show her acceptance through writing, it wouldn't have been too late, unless the topic was a trend. In her case, she claimed plots no one asked for, so it felt forced and very unnecessary. You want to be inclusive that's nice, but with the old books and how we grew up with it, just leave it at that. J.K. Rowling had all and any other way to show her acceptance, even by a simple tweet, but changing plots that had been already written sounds like a marketing strategy to me and, as we can see, it backfired. Whatever she claims now, if it was not mentioned in the books or the movies then it never happened. Otherwise it's then called a fanfiction.
Jesus people do get really butt hurt over something that isn’t real 😂
tigerpaws111 Sounds like Star Wars😂
Yeah like think about it, like 80% of the people this guy agreed with are ranting about how Problematic™ a children's fantasy novel about magic is. They should be embarrassed
BadPiggies 9 Agreed
Well look at all the fights and wars due to religion and believe.
Same with music, series, paintings, food,....
If people are passionate about something...it's difficult to draw a line 😅😅😅
The toilet one makes complete sense. What did WE do before toilets? Without magic? Lol
The real problem, IMO, is that it introduces a whole unnecessary plot hole where the Chamber of Secrets is concerned.
In addition to the chamber of secrets argument, how would first years just learning magic vanish the "evidence". They would have to get help by an older student or teacher every time they had to go.
Personally for me, I count the 7 books as canon rest are just for fun to me. But gotta admit I was disappointed by cursed child
She gave Draco all sort of pain (and made him have no choice at all and kill Dumbledore but that's the storyline) and also she wants none to care for him or crush on him either because he's the bad guy and we're not supposed to. Sometimes I doubt if she knows how she built the character or what she wrote...
Not hate =) Malfoy *was* kind of a bigot tho
J.K.Rowling pointed out the stupidity of using "people who menstruate" instead of just saying "women". Haters hate her for saying the truth.
Agreed given that the only ones that do bleed are undoubtedly WOMEN!
Guess women who have had hysterectomies or are older and no longer menstruate 🩸 are no longer Women, which probably includes J.K. Herself 🙀
Honestly I agree. I'm non binary and menstrate
Believe it or not, 100% of people who menstruate were born female.
What is it about this woman that makes people so obsessed??? I thought maybe this list would tell me something but the idea that any of these things actually caused controversy is crazy to me.
@Arturo Ilidan erm, no she didn't lol. She said that trans women aren't women which is biologically correct. Unless you can think of another definition for woman and prove it she is correct, not transphobic.
Onyx Cartier she ignored child porn being posted in HER comment section
@@richardmorris2386 Omg haha, do you find it funny to flat out lie? I love how you completely twist the truth to make her out to be a villain. She has done nothing wrong except for standing up for woman's rights which makes trans women furious as a lot of them seem to really hate women.
S trans women are women
S not lying she literally did
What pissed me off is how much retconing she has done in fantastic beasts 2, that contradicts the world she created in the books and help with the movie
Some people as they age loose their mind 🤣🤣🤣 HERMIONE IS WHITE
I’m sorry but I think you are aloud to have goblins in a fantasy book.
When she said that biological sex is real. Oh nooooo :0
I thought it was real now I'm confused. Just ignore me I'm not educated on the subject.
It is but gender identity is too
Slytherin Elphaba Supporter no trans person is saying sex doesn’t exist. Sex does. However gender and gender identity are different to sex. Someone may be born biologically the sex of female, but their gender and gender identity is closer to male. They feel comfortable and like themselves as male and so present as so, and when possible will try surgery and using testosterone. Trans people go through a lot of therapy to definitely make sure becoming trans man or woman is the core of their damaged mental health and then again have to wait until surgery is open to them (as they will likely have to pay for it and it’s expensive).
JK Rowling using her influence over younger generations to express either misconceptions or plain wrong ideas about trans people is so damaging. Cis women have been attacked in public bathrooms because of the fear-mongering caused by TeRFs like her. If she truly believes her political beliefs about trans people? Sure, go ahead. But to spread them haphazardly to an impressionable audience is wrong.
@@kayundae4411 bs. And you.misreprent.what she said and use hate speech
@@soulfoodie1 No, I've read the tweets and if anything KayUndae is being too generous. Rowling is exactly the same as politicians like Mike Pence who want their anti-trans bigotry to be legislated. I'm going to assume that by hate speech, you meant "TERF" which is not hate speech or a slur any more than the words bigot or racist. It's just an acronym that means, "trans exclusionary radical feminist" but if you want we can take out all the cool stuff and just leave the part where we call her a transphobe.
I will just say, in life whatever brilliant, good, horrible or bad thing you do there will always be someone who doesn't like it so why not do it anyway.
Sounds to me like the poor damn woman can’t do right for doing wrong .
The cursed child doesn’t even make sense in a lot of ways too. First, suddenly there is just one more time turner left for when they need it. Even when the trio was supposed to get rid of all of them. And Bellatrix and Voldemort having a child. Really?
I can name one more thing about that nagini bit: not only does this seem like a lack of consistency but now you can read and/or watch Deathly Hallows with the knowledge that technically Neville killed a human being
I remember how I was excited about cursed child...
I'm still trying to forget the trauma.
Dumlidor being gay dosint change the charter Dumlidor is Dumlidor
It’s *Dumbledore btw
Thank you
I swear i thought howling was spelt in royally because of my phones cracks
I like this summary. I invested her after all stuff I heard and decided that she's amazing. I really hated that she made Dumbledore gay because sex was just not a part of the book. She did a huge giveaway to the LGBT community but it wasn't enough?
People of LGBT, you were not the only people who loved this book.
JK, thanks for the magic times. You can say whatever you want but that time will never be forgotten. I don't understand why people care so much about her opinion. She's a great writer, but does that mean she should have some opinion?
Someone just should take tweeter away from her.
True
2:54 “Women of color”
I dont get it why people get offended by Hermione being played by a black actress. It is not relevant for the character. How the color of her skin change the perception of her or could be disrespecful in any way? Dudley Dursley is described as blond in the books, however in the movies a guy with black hair played him. What is the big deal ?
It is so entitled for a reader to demand an author to only give content that pleases them.
Most of these are just nitpicking. Trying to please a bunch of ppl who will never be content.
Idk why I'm here, I don't read Harry potter
Imagine a world world where J.K Rowling doesn't know what to twitter is
I've been waiting to see if someone would make this list
Going on curse child and now i regret it because Ron Weasley isnt Ginger why
Criticism for revealing that Dumbledore is gay, then criticism for her comments being homophobic. Anyone else notice the irony?
@@Em-rg2wg What's the proof of her asigning his sexuality for this reason? I find Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald to be convincing..
@@samdavies9129 the issue is that she may have announced their relationship, but never got through with it and put it in the films. Even if she actually didn't make Dumbledore gay to seem more inclusive, it sure as hell makes her look like that.
@@smilesedgeworth7143 It may appear so, though for people who want to interpret it so. For example, was her association between Lupin's condition and the treatment towards people with aids her idea all along, or a mere attempt to later include this group of people? Yes, the link between Dumbledore and his sexuality would have been easier to include, but would it have been more critical for his character development? I think not, for neither our sexuality nor our gender determine our merits as a person, but rather our personal traits and beliefs, of which Rowling described many of Dumbledore's in the books. We should also remember that Rowling first revealed Dumbledore's sexuality upon being asked if he had ever found love. This love was with Grindelwald, a non overly essential relationship in the HP series. Therefore, for me at least, Rowling didn't include his sexuality in the books or series because it wasn't important. Nonetheless, everything is always open to the individual interpretation of every person.
@@samdavies9129 @Sam Davies I understand that it wasn't important for the books, that's completely fair, there was no reason to talk about Dumbledore's sexuality in the books. But what about the Crimes of Grinderwald? That movie was the perfect place to show their relationship, and guess what, they didn't. I'm obviously not expecting for them to be in the films like : 'oh hey Albus, how's your gay lover and you doing?' But some sort of hint would be nice, maybe a flashback to the two? Why people don't like the whole Grinderwald x Dumbledore thing, is because she had the perfect opportunity to show that she indeed just never told us about their relationship, but she didn't. You may deem them as unimportant, but it would add a lot to the drama and the weight of the battle with Grinderwald, maybe add some flavor to the otherwise bland movie.
@@smilesedgeworth7143 Hey Dominic. The criticism against JK Rowling's revelation of Dumbledore's sexuality started a decade before the Fantastic Beasts movies were released. I thank you for your comment, but it touches a different topic: the quality of the second Fantastic Beasts movie. Regarding this new topic, as the series of 5 movies hasn't finished yet, it would be advisable to wait until concluding an opinion about how the franchise represents Dumbledore's sexuality (if at all).
Nobody:
JK Rowling: did u know Draco Malfoy is the long lost cousin of Johnny Lawrence from Karate Kid franchise??
Seriously, couldn't post this any other day could u ? Had to be on her birthday
@@lizaoostendorp7588 She's opened a wonderfull world of books to children and adults all over the world. Im glad such a wonderful person exists in my lifetime
I feel like she is being criticized for to many things. A lot of it r quite dumb. That trans thing tho did do damage.
Not gonna lie a lot of the stuff Rolling has said I can forgive in the same way I forgive George Lucas, but the TERF shit is just random and dumb.
If I remember correctly, Rowling was heavily involved in deciding who got to play a lot of the characters in the movies, especially Harry, Ron and Hermione. If Hermione was black, why would she have cast Emma Watson?
When she said dumbledoor was gay and that herminoe was black is when she lost her mind
We all know what number one is
*Several people are typing*
Some people have too much free time...
Cant really use nowadays standards on JK... like, a decade ago being "gay" or "racially diverse" were not so "important" as nowadays (as in media importance, not talking about the people). People weren't as sensitive towards those issues either... she literally admitted that she did not disclose Dumbledore being gay for fear of being punched in the face by fans. The only thing I'd hold her accountable for is The Cursed Child. But, oh well.
PS: after so many years, I'd find it understandable if she didn't remember specifying ONCE that Hermione was white. People need to calm down. The books were awesome, thank her for the nice childhood/adulthood memories and move on.
Why can’t we let others have an opinion that is not the same as ours. Why do we have to shut people down and cancel them if they do. Her books gave us so much joy. Let’s thank her by allowing her freedom of speech.
lol I wish I was popular enough to get cancelled
Clearly Fame isn't everything
😂
Jk but bro I'm pretty sure it really hurts being cancelled .
(Financially too)
The thing is that I bet when she wrote the books she never had those ideas, only after she became real famous she started doing some random shit with the story.
It seems to me that people concluded first that she is queerphobic/racist and then did the research to make her look like that.
I understand why the cancel culture is raging right now (because oppressed people are now reacting to years and decades and centuries of oppression) but it truly is wild- it doesn't see who it takes.
Internet will always have a problem with one thing or the other. My generation is good at trolling and finding fault in others except in themselves. A Rowling fan this side. ❣
Me too
Because there's no reason for Nagini to be human.
I can let the Dumbledore being gay part slide but turning Hermione Black and saying weird stuff about Harry having a gay scar needs to stop.
also about dumbledore sexuality, I think fans are making such a big deal of it (I'm talking about Harry Potter only, not Fantastic beasts). He was gay, it was kind of implicit in the books but
1. the books are written from harry's perspective and students don't discuss love life with their teachers.
2. It doesn't come to the plot (in harry potter, probably in fantastic beasts it does but I haven't watched them very carefully)
this video reminds me of the time ron broke his wand and kept shooting himself
I love J. K Rowling and support her for stating facts. She brought us Harry Potter and she is great. Too many butt hurt people in the world especially in the United States. People are crazier by day but it's normal now to be crazy.
She ain’t stating facts tho
@@georged366 That's your opinion. Not a fact.
@@georged366 She absolutely is stating fact.
Perhaps Rowling could've made me come out alive. But I'm glad I was killed which made Harry to realize that I wasn't a bad person after all those times.
We are all washed up in this ridiculousness. Thank you so much!
WHY ISN’T THIS A TOP 20
Nothing of it has pissed me , she's a great author, a woman and a human being.
She's transphobic
@@sarakhan-pk7ko i don't think she wants any trans person being discriminated or beaten or verbally attacked. It doesn't mean you just forget the genders exist
@@dustgreylynx she actually claims that trans women are not real women and that they are a danger to feminism
@@sarakhan-pk7ko I mean they aren't a trans woman is a man they have nothing in common with biological females
@@dustgreylynx She sucks at writing and she funded anti-trans laws which is dumb in itself, why does a washed-up children's author have a say in what laws get passed. She needs to stay in her lane
So, was Nagini supposed to have been played by a Norwegian?
someone can help me to found this interview 4:23
Lol i still dont understand why people hate her. Thank you Rowling for my childhood!
She blackwashes characters and makes characters gay for no reason and the funny thing is that she's openly transphobic
@@klonoafan2012 ive yet to hear someone tell me a valid example of jk being transphobic
Internet: "Cho Chang is a racist name! REEEEEEEEEE!"
Also Internet: "Oh boy, Shang Chi is based!"
Also this video, and these comments, have aged like rancid milk considering what's happening in Europe.
J.K. Rowling just whipped stuff like, "Wizard Poop, Gay Dumbledore, and Black Hermione is in a Wheelchair." Right out of her ass
Edit: She does this for good press
The fact they had to limit it to 10 says it all 😂
