If you had the chance to ask Dumbledore one question, what would it be?

Does being gay make you a better wizard?
>>66832586
Statistics show that it does.
Dumbledore - best wizard in the world and gay
Voldemort - 2nd best wizard in the world and acts like a faggot
Harry Potter - 3rd best wizard in the world and attracted to a female with a masculine face.

True. What are your thoughts on Grindelwald?

Why the fuck did you read HEAT magazine out of all things when in the muggle bathroom in HBP?
Why was Harry Potter easily one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the seriesüf only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but itüfs certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books are g-g-good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King

Yeah. we get it.
Did Harry Potter damage cinema or literature more, which did it crash with no survivors?
>>66833321
Cinema. It was the beginning of multi-part movies for single entries (that I can remember). In literature, it affected maybe the seriousness with which children's or adolescent literature was view from a scholastic point of view, but I think Hunger Games did more damage as a series of books than Harry Potter did.

For you
First of JK's Magic in America articles dropped. People are pissed about her take on Indian magic
>Though European explorers called it ‘the New World’ when they first reached the continent, wizards had known about America long before Muggles (Note: while every nationality has its own term for ‘Muggle,’ the American community uses the slang term No-Maj, short for ‘No Magic’). Various modes of magical travel – brooms and Apparition among them – not to mention visions and premonitions, meant that even far-flung wizarding communities were in contact with each other from the Middle Ages onwards.
>The Native American magical community and those of Europe and Africa had known about each other long before the immigration of European No-Majs in the seventeenth century. They were already aware of the many similarities between their communities. Certain families were clearly ‘magical’, and magic also appeared unexpectedly in families where hitherto there had been no known witch or wizard. The overall ratio of wizards to non-wizards seemed consistent across populations, as did the attitudes of No-Majs, wherever they were born. In the Native American community, some witches and wizards were accepted and even lauded within their tribes, gaining reputations for healing as medicine men, or outstanding hunters. However, others were stigmatised for their beliefs, often on the basis that they were possessed by malevolent spirits.
>The legend of the Native American ‘skin walker’ – an evil witch or wizard that can transform into an animal at will – has its basis in fact. A legend grew up around the Native American Animagi, that they had sacrificed close family members to gain their powers of transformation. In fact, the majority of Animagi assumed animal forms to escape persecution or to hunt for the tribe. Such derogatory rumours often originated with No-Maj medicine men, who were sometimes faking magical powers themselves, and fearful of exposure.
>>66834318
>The Native American wizarding community was particularly gifted in animal and plant magic, its potions in particular being of a sophistication beyond much that was known in Europe. The most glaring difference between magic practised by Native Americans and the wizards of Europe was the absence of a wand.
>The magic wand originated in Europe. Wands channel magic so as to make its effects both more precise and more powerful, although it is generally held to be a mark of the very greatest witches and wizards that they have also been able to produce wandless magic of a very high quality. As the Native American Animagi and potion-makers demonstrated, wandless magic can attain great complexity, but Charms and Transfiguration are very difficult without one.

Protip: Word count does not equal good. Count of Monte Cristo was fine until it decided to go all sandbox and veer away from the entire fucking plot. Thus making it less than God-tier. I could keep going but you get the idea:
Your taste is shit.
>No-Majs
Christ, this is gonna be a thing people actually say.
>>66836335
What gets me about it is that it sounds more like a Boston-specific word then anything else. Like when I first heard the word, I imagined a wizard with a thick Boston accent bitching about the Sox game and planning to go get some clam chowder.
Between that and the "Lol, Salem Witch Trials" shit, it's like JK only knows about the New England part of the country. The whole "Lol, all Native American cultures are the same" shit makes it even worse.
>>66831267
Did you truly care about Harry, or were you just using him to take out Voldemort?
>>66833044
Most interesting character. All-powerful like Dumbledore and Voldemort, but in it for shits and giggles.
His movie portrayal was a let-down.
Grindelwald did nothing wrong though.
>>66832883
Gandalf - faggot
I see a pattern
>>66831267
Why do so many wizards think they're better than muggles when muggles have things like nuclear missiles and the internet without ever having to rely on magic?
>>66837757
Because they live in such an isolated echochamber of a society that the Ministry of Magic was funding research into what rubber ducks are and the biggest newspaper spent a paragraph explaining what a gun was and described as "A kind of wand that muggles use to kill each other"
>>66837757
Man, I'd really like to see a version of Harry Potter where Voldemort wins and starts a war against muggles only to be almost instantly defeated by our far superior weaponry and technology. Buuuut, you know Rowling would write some bullshit logic like "bullets and bombs don't effect magical types".
