I'd pirate it but I find the story just not interesting or worth my time.

I read Philosopher's Stone about 25 years ago as a teenager and wasn't impressed. Didn't read any other because that one already felt like wasted time. Went to a movie in 2007 (no clue which one that was) and again forgettable. Not bad, in fact I still remember Die Hard 4 that I also watched back then because it was so bad. That HP movie? No idea about plot or anything. Another one? Thanks, I'm good.

Even if Rowling wasn't a disgusting person, I feel like what I've seen of her work is just not great. It's not terrible, but I don't care for it at all.

But also, she can get fucked.

A featherless biped with egg laying equipment then

Just pluck her

Do I need to pluck the hen? Cause I can pluck the hen.

And broad flat nails.

Technically, chickens are hatched, not born. So not "born with egg-producing equipment".

Still doesn't rule out literally every female mammal except for platypi and echidnas...

Also a few rare reptiles and fish that give live birth!

That includes goldfish, doesn't it?

2007 was Order of the Phoenix, which is the most boring and also does not make any sense at all out of context. Strangely enough, that movie was also my first experience with Harry Potter, because a friend invited me to go see it. I did read the books later, which were decent enough, but like all global phenomena, it's not really about being the best of the best, but being in the right place at the right time.

The fandom was fun though, the discussions on Tumblr, the theories, the fanfics, the comic cons. I never see a wizard robe these days, even though it's such an easy costume. I think Joanne killed the fandom.
