https://medium.com/electric-literature/can-anyone-stop-j-k-rowling-from-george-lucas-ing-harry-potter-ed5e82586db9#.ufnzj3ly5

so apparently people are getting tired of rowling pandering to her readers by revising shit like dumbledore being gay and hermione being black because "they're whatever the reader wants them to be!"

should this kind of stuff be more strongly implied in the books or the movies at the latest? is it wrong to keep some aspects of the story vague so the reader can make their own interpretations? is rowling a genuine writer or just a hack?
>>
>>69160356
its hard to strongly imply hermione was white any more than what was already there. rowling is just a hack is all
>>
>>69160356
what if for every pander she made to fans, she did something shitty to her characters, like

>dumbledore is gay
>dumbledore is also incredibly racist

>hermonie is now black
>hermonie is also pedophile

would that balance it out?
>>
>>69160356

> is it wrong to keep some aspects of the story vague so the reader can make their own interpretations?

This is ok and sometimes absolutely necessary for the material to have "replay value".

I think it is cool if it is hinted at in the books that Dumbledore is gay, but the fact that Rowling acknowledges it makes it stupid.

Also Hermonie being black is stupid.
>>
>>69160356
>is rowling a genuine writer or just a hack?
Hack.

Her post Harry Potter career has been pathetic. First the comes out with a crappy book people only read because it was written by the Harry Potter author. Then she came out with a book under a pseudonym that nobody read, so what did she do? It "leaked" that J K Rowling wrote it, and suddenly everyone was buying it. Then she goes back to writing more Harry Potter shit. Pathetic.

Like imagine if Stephen King tried to write something new but nobody liked it or bought it, so he goes back to writing sequels for Carrie. That's J K Rowling's legacy.

She's a genuine writer, but throwing shit around like "dumbledore's gay" is just attention seeking now that she's irrelevant. It's also the reason she's doing more HP universe content. Irrelevancy.

It's like she's trying to emulate Tolkien, but Tolkien actually build a huge universe that made sense. Dumbledore being gay doesn't make sense.

I don't have a problem with dumbledore being gay really. He's a top wiz but for so.e reason we don't hear tales of any wife or old flames? Sounds gay to me.

As shown in the pic in the post quoted though her claiming Hermione beig black is a total fucking cop out, so obviously just pandering. It is painfully clear she always intended her to be a while girl.


All that said I think there is no problem wih the black chick playing her now in the play, it's theatre. People have been portraying other races and genders for centurys, it's not a new idea it's just that HP is fresh in people's minds so they can't see out their own ass
>>
Doesn't matter what race she is. Every character could be black for all I fucking care. Harry Potter is for children, the movies are for children. She could make them all talking dinosaurs. The people she's pandering too are worthless, and the people that get mad about it are also worthless.

Fuck it all.

I don't even think it was later, was it? I don't remember being all that surprised, as I should have been as a younger child. I don't have much of a deal with it either. Him being gay is more or less how it should be handled, I think.

I agree with the Hermione bullshit. She's trying to appeal to the young crowd, it's despicable.

You people are fucking stupid. She's not saying that Hermione was always black, she's saying it's not necessary for a white girl to play the character in a play because her being white didn't define her character.

I realise this is going to be hard for any regulars of /tv/ to understand though seeing as anything that doesn't vehemently adhere to the "anyone that isn't white is a shit" racist stereotype you all so deeply embroil yourself in gets shat on.

This. Same with Legend of Korra.

I don't exactly like gay characters, but I'll tolerate them. It's when the creator adds it in afterwards with nothing in the original source that actually says it, that pisses me off.

Make Dumbledore gay in the book, fine, but don't ignore it in the book and then just say it in a faggy interview.

Historically speaking, our modern systems of governance and democracy has censored more information than fascism or national socialism ever did in their entire existences combined, dipshit.

>Something I don't like or disagree with is instantly Nazi Fascism

In fact it would be more accurate to say "Communist pig" or "socialist pig" considering their censorship has been the greatest of any form of governance the world has ever seen; particularly under Mao and Stalin this was rampant.

>is rowling a genuine writer or just a hack?

She can't write entertaining battle scenes for shit, and i found books 5-7 a letdown primarily for this reason. I liked the world and the lore a lot more than the story, in the end. Kinda like GoT.

I liked how the feeling of being on felix felicis was similar to the feeling one has on mdma but that could be coincidence.

Too late. Books went to shit with 4, she got big enough for her to ignore quality and her editor.
HP went from worldbuilding to angst. It's already ruined.

There is no fucking way she envisaged Hermione as black in the books.

>>
>>69169006
The main problem was actually the worldbuilding.

Rowling was writing by the seat of her ass for the first few, and that's why they had the more whimsical and fantasy-like air. Sure, there were problems and questions abound about how the wizarding world worked, but the tone made aided willing suspension of disbelief.
It's when she looked back and tried to patch over the holes where the problems began. When the narrative made it clear that it was trying to make a more cohesive world, the suspension faded because it was supposed to be no longer required.

I get that it was intended as a sign of harry growing older, focusing less on the fantastic and more on the world and how it worked, but the books suffered as a result.

>she's saying it's not necessary for a white girl to play the character in a play because her being white didn't define her character

Except physical characteristics DO define a character, you dipshit. Authors who would willingly change the physical characteristics of one of their characters to such extremes do not care about their art or the world they've created, and "fans" who support it for a vapid and pointless agenda that does nothing for any actual cause except making white teens feel good about themselves are just as bad.

The problem isn't that the play actress was black, as it's been noted that play races change all the time, even ages do (James Earl Jones nailed it as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing a few years ago, for example).

The problem is that Rowling proceeded to barefacedly lie about the character for progressive points.
if she'd just said "it happens all the time in plays, deal with it." There wouldn't be an issue outside of Stormfags getting tirggered.
>>
>>69166462
Because it reflects a concern that affects every aspect of entertainment media in a generation of morons who are ruining art. It's not just about one case, and to cry "it's just a children's book!" is a lazy cop-out for someone who either defends this bullshit or doesn't actually know what they're talking about.

>>69170832
Great argument. Now you're just resorting to name calling because someone called you out on your idiocy. Something as defining as the race of an actor is important to the integrity and accuracy of the source material, and the biggest point is that this is expanding outside of the context of the one play. She is outright disregarding her own art to pander.
>>
>>69166602
Oh yeah nobody could tell it's about wizards from the wizard on a broom on the cover.

JK Rowling is obviously a huge anti semite.

This bitter antisemitism is most apparent with the goblins. Short of stature, large noses, heavily involved in law and finance, follow their own code of ethics (the talmud) that clashes with the wizards (the dispute over who has claim to Godric Gryffindor s sword) and quick to betray the protagonist when he has achieved his aims.

Why no one has had the bravery to accuse JK Rowling of this obvious indictment against G-ds chosen we may never know

J.K. Rowling is a hack who would disappear from the media if she stopped milking the shit books wrote 15 years ago.

Dombledore is gay. Hermione is black. Snape is a drug addict. There are jews and muslims in Hogwarts... So what? How will any of this improve/change the plot or give a new perspective about the story?
She wants attention. Harry Potter is shit. Yes, I read all the books, and even as a kid i thought it was shit.

Hermione's race doesn't really matter desu. I don't recall if she's implied to be white or black in the books.
