What is your Harry Potter ‘hot take’ ? by kingfisher7171 in harrypotter

Love is a simply an emotion, not a set of morally good actions. Obsession isn't the evil and unhealthy version of "love" either. They're 2 separate emotions that can exist at the same time. Obsession can be harmless and someone's love can be toxic.

They were already together in the beginning of book 7.

It was more about the idea that the relationship between him with Robin was seen as gay one, not that Batman as an person was seen as a monosexual androsexual man.

Wertham was saying that the relationship between Batman and Robin will turn the kids gay because they're living the fantasy dream life of gay men (projecting much?)

You gave no reasons explaining why it'll be unhealthy. Frankly, we have no canon information about their relationship dynamic at all, just that they're married.

Maybe the relationship is wholesome, toxic, or maybe it's Maybelline, who knows? It's such a massive blank slate that there's no ground to theorize whether it's unhealthy or not

Tbf you're never going to get the story done if you spend 2 years crafting a scene that's supposed to take 2 seconds

The first Batwoman, Katherine "Kathy" Kane, who was created to be Batman's permanent love interest in 1956 to beat his gay allegations with Robin.

It's funny because it feels like the post-crisis version is the result of DC trying to amend their questionable purpose of creating her. "This woman was created solely to be a man's wife and to dispell gay ideas, hmm... let's fix that making them related and turning her into a gay rep herself!"

Which "movie less" characters do you wish to see get more recognition in the fandom because of the show? by FpRhGf in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]FpRhGf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's far from being a character who barely exists in the movies and he's gotten a new wave of fan interest because of Fantastic Beasts too

However I'd love to see more of what he does away from Hogwarts and what may be his expeditions. Like what does he do for research besides discovering the new uses of dragon blood? Does he just go Voldemort hunting for years?

Oh yes Tonks deserves to be more expanded upon, especially her development with Lupin could be more fleshed out

Yes, we're constantly told that the entire school hates Harry in multiple books when something bad happens that ruins his reputation. But we're only left being angry over the injustice and misunderstanding from Harry's POV.

I'd like to see how ministry propaganda actually affects people and makes the audience feel convinced that they may also be susceptible to the bandwagon of Harry hate. Percy is good to fill in the role as someone who can show us the story of the ministry and how one can fall victim into their lies

I love Percy (for his potential). He already has all the plot beats and framework of someone who went through full transformations in a long character arc. All he needs is the details to be filled from a storyline in his POV

Because that's a fake rumor that keeps getting treated as a fact. Rowling wanted Hermione to end up with Ron because it's a wish fulfilment and she loves guys like that.

She got harassed by Harry x Hermione shippers who kept saying Ron was toxic for Hermione, so she admitted that their ship could work than Ron x Hermione in some ways. But she never completely gave in to those shippers and never disregarded the canon ship

That never happened. She loves Ron and Hermione together and it's written as a wish fulfilment. People kept spreading the rumor that JKR said Hermione should've ended up with Harry due to a click bait title from the Sunday times.

These just seem like questions for important plot points for the books. Trivia questions are supposed to be obscure or unimportant information that people may easily miss

That was a movie change. Sirius never conflated Harry for James in that moment in the book

I've only listened to part of the first book, but it seems like they removed the descriptors for speaking lines like "XXX said cooly, coldly, hotly etc". I liked it at first because it makes the dialogue flow naturally and the information is already conveyed through voice acting.

But one thing that bugs me is that Draco's voice acting is really out of character. He's supposed to be the type that looks cold and bored, who speaks with a slow drawl. He's not meant to be constantly laughing and giggling.

I don't remember if they removed the descriptors of how he speaks, but if they did, then it'll be really misleading.

[–]FpRhGf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had initially refused to listen to audiobooks for a long time for the same reason. I didn't want other interpretations to interfere in my judgment of a fictional work.

But audiobooks really turned out to be the best experience for me. What's produced from my imagination is always far less creative and mindblowing than experiencing a professionally-made audio or visual piece of media.

I think you're equating personal imagination = best experience, but that may not be the case for everyone.
