RIP Robbie Coltrane, the HP fandom will always remember you.
There’ll never be anyone to portray Hagrid as well as you did.

I always thought of myself as someone who's a big fan of 'unlikeable' or difficult characters in fiction, from the most psychologically complex to your basic 'bad boy' types (if written well enough). So it's difficult for me to reconcile this with the fact that I gave up on Mira Honfleur's Blade and Rose series at least partly because of the 'bad boy' problem. It seems I make an exception for... entitled internet asshole types, I guess?
If you've read the book(s) more than a quarter of the way, feel free to enlighten me or let me know it improves. At this point, it seems like my issue is that a) there's a love triangle (which I default to hating in any romance where it's a source of drama) and b) the 'bad boy' is just really entitled and... weak because he's insecure, I guess? Like the sort of guy that blames the woman for his own insecurity, while being responsible for meeting his needs and solving his issues.
I mean, insecurity can be sympathetic, but when a person blames someone else for not solving their problems.... You can argue it's realistic, but I think it's *too* realistic. Or rather, it's so frustrating and annoying that it starts to make me annoyed not at the guy, but at the supposedly 'strong' female character who would tolerate this bullshit, even if it's in the past by the time the couple's temporary reconciliation eventually occurs (according to spoilers).
I think I'm used to 'bad boys' just being extra ruthless, possibly violent, empathically challenged, overly ambitious but not... personally odious, I guess? Like in a gross way. Like... a loser way. Not being a sad loser is kind of a prerequisite to being a 'bad boy' love interest and not... a YA villain, basically.
I find myself making comparisons to incels and like, Tate fanboys, though this is just vibes mainly. Basically, this guy wants the main character to shut up and marry him because he needs his curse lifted ASAP, and it's inconvenient and embarrassing for him to have to wait while she gets the magical education she needs to be safe. Therefore he's going to seduce and scheme, and if that fails, try to ruin her life. That's not really the sort of thing I can find cute or forgivable on any level. Perhaps that's unsurprising after all.
Anyway, this is why I never truly liked Snape in HP . Not really. I mean, I loved Draco and he was bitter and envious and insecure... so why was that attractive, then? Well, it's because there was a power imbalance in Harry's favor between them. Unlike Snape, who abused his power over Harry, Draco just kinda... tried and failed a lot. His insecurities and immaturity were also more justifiable in my mind 'cause he's a kid and then a young teen, who was scheming against a favored school peer, even if Harry's an orphan and Draco had higher social status. By contrast, this 'bad boy' currently has higher social status than the main character that he schemes against (who's also an orphan), and he's in his mid-twenties. Definitely time to know better.
I'll admit though, partly it's that I'm okay with Harry and Draco 'cause a) they were both boys and b) the narrative doesn't make Draco a major character, let alone a love interest. He's a rival. Rivals in YA books get to scheme and be little jerks in pathetic, even disgusting ways. If a love interest and ongoing major POV character (even if he's not endgame) is a 'pathetic little cockroach' , you've got a problem in an adult romance storyline.
To be honest, this is why I used to almost exclusively read slash or m/m fiction. Would this whole gross dynamic be okay with me if everyone was male? Well... probably? It wouldn't be great 'cause I still hate love triangles, but there's still an irrefutable power dynamic issue when an older male character in a position of social and romantic authority tries to abuse his power at the expense of a young woman. It doesn't matter if she's strong, and doesn't buy what he's selling and is even able to defeat his earlier schemes. Any ethical retreat or future accommodation made might be considered big-hearted and generous from a male main character... but seems like validation of the male abuser when a woman is involved.
Even then, there's a special wrongness in a man who attempted to rob the main character of an education. Maybe that's just me, but I'm much more likely to get over an attempt on their life, money or liberty (those are pretty commonplace, really). People's personal issues, needs and insecurities don't really matter that much when they're used as an *excuse* for truly antisocial behavior. And even though the main character never *actually* excuses this behavior as an adult, and the text explicitly doesn't justify it in any way, just merely being a POV love interest is enough to create a dynamic where readers will be likely to hand-wave these things or become increasingly frustrated. Like, there's being empathetic and then there's being a sucker. 💁

Omg more cowboy rem plssss!! Literally anything he’s just so hot. Maybe size kink and manhandling, he must be so strong working all day like that, would be a shame if he didn’t have somethin pretty to throw around afterwards🥹
cowboy remus is hot i’d be his perfect lil house wife i need him SOOOOSSOSOBADDDD
anyways, warnings: size kink, dom/sub dynamic, use of “sir”, “doll”, and “good girl,” breeding kink, stomach bulge, mention of pregnancy
masterlist
remus tosses you carelessly against the kitchen table, your back slamming into the wood. he pushes you further down with ease, spreading your thighs wide open. you whine as he leans down, looking directly at your pussy as he shoves your panties aside.
the cloth is already soaked through, leaking onto your skirt. “fuck, baby, you’re so wet.” he spreads your legs wider, his large hands gripping your thighs with urgency.
you swing yourself upwards as he straightens, immediately reaching to undo his shirt. he lets you, and you toss it onto the floor the minute his bare chest is exposed. he’s slick with sweat and dirt, filthy after a long day of work on the ranch. you want to lick him.
before you get the chance, he pushes you back down, undoing his belt as you go. his dick swings out of his boxers, giant and erect. he leans closer and it ghosts your core, teasing the skin of your inner thighs.
“this alright, doll?” he asks, his voice a low murmur.
“y-yes, sir.”
he grins and grips your legs tighter, slowly sliding his dick into your wet pussy. you moan as he fills you up with his full length, gasping once again at his size.
“does that feel good?”
“mhm,” you manage to choke out, voice an octave too high.
he thrusts into you and you see a slight bulge through the cloth of your apron, right above your bellybutton.
wetness pools in your cunt, spilling out onto your inner thighs.
“you’re s-so big.”
“is it too much for your tight little pussy?” he asks, thrusting into you deep and slow.
“no! no, sir, i can take it.”
his fingers slide down to play with your pulsating clit. “good girl.”
you grind into his touch, back arching against the table where the two of you had eaten breakfast along with your children just hours before. where you’ll eat dinner tonight.
you cry out as he somehow manages to go even deeper, pussy walls fluttering against his insane length.
he growls, “fuckin’ love this pretty pussy.”
you reach for something, anything to ground you through his thrusts, fingers grasping onto his bare hip. freshly manicured nails dig into his flesh, hard enough to leave marks.
an animalistic whine of pure lust escapes his throat. he fucks you faster, fucks you deeper, hitting all the right spots.
your vision goes blurry, blobs of black dotting your sight.
he rolls his hips into yours, managing to get even closer. you can feel his sweat dripping down onto your skin. “can’t wait to fill this tight li’l pussy up,” he rasps out.
the thought has your pulse quickening, excitement at him fucking another baby into you.
“please!” you scream, voice needy and unguarded. “please.”
his cock jerks around against your walls once, twice, before he’s creaming, filling you up with ropes of hot cum. he thrusts deeper into you, pushing his thick white seed further inside of you, plugging your pussy.
“do you like that? do you like being full of m’babies?”
“y-yes, yes sir. i do.”
he leans down to pepper kisses down your sweaty chest, making a mental note to buy a pregnancy test.

meta knight is the character ever. he got to wish for literally anything he wanted and he wished to fight against the strongest warrior in the galaxy, he has zero communication skills, he didn't like how everyone lazes around all day so he decided to overthrow the government and failed, his ship has his face plastered on the front for no reason, he decided to go down with said ship, he has a strict moral code but is willing to throw hands with an 8 year with no hesitation, he keeps getting his ass kicked by said 8 year old, he has a sweet tooth and feels the need to hide it even though literally everyone around him loves sweets. he's punched jk rowling in the face

The Role of the 'Unrealistic' and Realism in Children's lit
Do you ever just randomly think of old fandom wank? Like, how adults who read Harry Potter but never heard of any other children's book before (apparently), and complain about how the adults in Hogwarts don't bother to make the school safe and how ridiculous it is, etc. Like... really, it's laughable. Actually, considering the fact that adults constantly try to censor children's lit, and yet also fail in the long-term, it's both maddening and sad as well as laughable.
On the one hand, I'm upset when Southern/Western states try to ban children's books. Of course I am. The thing is, though, the whole idea behind that type of book (the 'current issues' type genre) is to reach out to kids and get them to read at all. Talking specifically about apathetic readers who don't seek out their own reading material. They need to be prodded, usually by a combination of the relevant themes *and* the teachers or librarians being encouraging. Just one of those isn't enough. So it's not like these kids will now read 'acceptable' books. They just won't read as much... at least until time passes and inevitably there are so many similar books that they can't necessarily single them out effectively.
Anyway, I actually think the danger in Hogwarts is just a small part of the reality of how widely read, popular children's books generally become popular and widely read. They almost never talk down to kids, at least in some major way. Not to say they're 'adult', but rather that the kids' ability to understand and affect their world is treated seriously. By definition, successful children's lit since the Victorian age always had children who were actually as competent or more competent than adults. This is basically a foundational truth of how to write for children successfully, so that they'll pay attention. So if Hogwarts was dangerous, it's because of the young readers liking it that way, essentially. It's more interesting, more engaging and more 'real', because to kids, their real life is high stakes too. Children aren't exactly likely to take the things that impact them lightly. So... there has to be this real danger, there have to be issues that feel real and immediate.
This continues to be true for teens, and the main thing that changes is a greater understanding of the real world around them. Fantasy becomes less of a common interest (with the exception of serialized stuff that's ongoing, like HP was), and topics that reflect teens' actual experiences are essential to get these young adults to sit down and pay attention. Basically, you can't really fool most kids. If you wrote a book that reflected the world as you'd like it to be, and not how they're experiencing it, the popularity level would be zero. So I don't see a big likelihood that even Christian teens are actually interested in getting spoon-fed 'proper' or 'acceptable' books. If anything, forbidding books has the opposite effect on that age group, given that the kid in question is actually self-motivated to read.
In the end, I simply don't believe that adults can control children's information environment when the society at large exposes them to all sorts of ideas and experiences. This is like the 50s-60s and rock 'n roll. Likewise, society at large can't really be controlled by its conservative standards either. The majority of people have to want the social standards that they have. They can't be artificially imposed-- they can be modeled for children, but actual adoption is always going to be limited if society at large doesn't support it. I mean, this is just the long-term situation-- in the short-term, information access naturally suffers, society is stratified and educational outcomes and opportunities become more unequal.

I’ve become fiercely protective over the kids that haven’t even been cast in the HP series yet.
They’ll be constantly compared to the original cast
They will see the comments/hate that didn’t exist to the same extent in the early 2000s when the OG cast started out
JKR
They’ll be asked about JKR’s opinions because Of Course they will
JKR is the executive producer, she doesn’t deserve more £ from this franchise and these kids will be the human shields for this backlash
What Is The Point
The young cast will be the subject of online abuse, without a doubt.
Black!Hermione would be wonderful casting - brown eyes, curly hair, smart, resilient. But look at the online abuse that the young actress for Annabeth in Disney+ Percy Jackson got.
Let the franchise rest. Let JKR rot.
