Seriously, it makes no goddamn sense. The whole series is antithetical to their beliefs.
> White male protagonist > Main characters are born innately genetically superior to "muggles" > Violence against muggles is frowned upon-- but muggles are seen as humorously backwards, and can't be trusted with real knowledge > Characters attend British boarding school, an age-old symbol of elitism > Wizards employ slaves who like being enslaved > Only character to protest slavery is laughed at by everyone else. The whole story arc mocks social justice causes and pointless "activism"
There are anti-racism messages woven in, but being against racism doesn't automatically make you a progressive. What gives? Is it just because Rowling tweets about Trump being a meanie and Dumbledore being gay?
It's a well-written story that millions grew up with
Benjamin Young
dont forget that rowling made sure the cast of the movies were 'explicitly british'. like every other lefty she doesnt realize how 'racist' she is
Lucas Rivera
The left has always wanted those things
Landon Bennett
The left loves everything thats accessible pop-culture with tons of merchandise. It's the same thing with Disney, Star Wars, netflix series, The avengers and some videogames. Even dungeons and dragons has been pulled through shit to be more accessible for "everyone" to play.
Things with specialised or singular crowds are top tier. This is the meaning of counter culture.
Isaac Morris
it's a secular story about how racial purity is evil
>character goes for a stroll >stretches their legs Literally every part that has tyhem walking is stretching their legs
Justin Stewart
Certain descriptors are pretty poor, and she does love her adverbs. Still, she's good at setting up clues for mysteries and moving quickly enough to keep you on your toes. The story structure is great; the fundamentals of the writing need some work.
Jason Gray
because it offers them biblical stories, a religious styled education in a modern and entertaining and compelling form without crushing them. it's exactly what the catholic church should have been without the abusive asshole nuns and priests and the pedophiles molesting all the kids.
Christopher Jackson
How do you get to call yourself "counter-culture" when your only understanding of politics comes through marinating your brain in pop culture?
>Why does the left love Harry Potter? I’ll keep this simple. Harry Potter takes place in a majority White European British fantasy world where there are no niggers stealing or spics raping or Muslims molesting kids. It’s a White utopian dream. Watch any Harry Potter movie, and you’ll be taken back to a time when the civilized world was mostly White people. The only “niggers” are the redheaded Weasleys. The left will never admit this, but liberals are low key the real racists. Just think about it.
Because they're all suffering from arrested adolescence and the author panders to their retarded world view on Twitter.
Jordan King
>liberals are low key the real racists It's actually really obvious to anyone but themselves.
Noah Carter
Normies/NPCs/Muggles don't get it.
I find it pretty rich that anyone on Jow Forums could call someone else the "real" racists, but ok.
Dominic Miller
It's because people on the left wing of politics are borderline mentally retarded and have the minds of children. Why else do you think they exclusively consume children's entertainment, like harry potter and star wars and so forth?
Noah Stewart
I don't understand how Americans loved it since it's a Brit flick. Wouldn't the accents and eccentric weird cultural facets be offputting?
Ryder Martinez
>liking or talking about Hairy Potty in the first place
shitty ass tumblr books baka go read Percy Jackson, OP
Jackson Ward
hi jew
Easton Peterson
it's the only book they've ever read.
Colton Sanchez
Don't forget that the bad guys try to make school ultra-safe and stop teaching them how to defend themselves and stating that they don't need a wand.
That being said, Rowling just absorbs and reiterates ideas around her, and many of them are right-wing ideas. This is part of why the books were popular (especially the earlier ones), but leftists also find ideas they like in it.
Matthew Fisher
As if to prove my point...
Aiden Gomez
i read the first one and its ok. i thought it would be worse than it really was, brought back those fond memories of the movie which was much better
Jackson Nguyen
Read it. It's gay. Big fight takes place right near my house, though. Mt. Tamalpais, right?
Joshua Hernandez
Most plausible explanation yet.
Jacob Davis
American liberals will literally suck the cock of anything remotely associated with Britain/Ireland.
Dominic Bell
You forgot, in addition to viewing the muggles as backwards the wizards remain isolated from and elevated above them for the stated reason that they don't want to use magic to solve their problems. Mind you, magic does not have any cost to the caster. The Harry Potter universe uses neither Vancian magic nor mana. They could literally institute magic welfare for everyone at no cost but time. But they don't want to hand out gibs because they can't be arsed, so they don't.
Also there is no "gun control", every wizard carries around a wand capable of shooting out fireballs and magical dimension slashing waves and shit. The only defense against a bad guy with a wand is a good guy with a wand, and everybody has wands.
And if a bad guy with a wand gets caught, well, there's no criminal justice reform in Harry Potter. Criminals are put in solitary confinement in a terrible prison where the wardens are literal demons that degrade your soul and feed on your pain. No inmates rights here.
The Wizarding World is a fucking right wing paradise, honestly.
Christian Wright
no dude it was cool england is cool castles and shit are cool that movie started a small wave of anglophiles in america
Juan Morris
t. never written a goddamn thing criticizing the billionaire author of the most successful book series of all time
Cooper Perez
That just makes it more magic, man. What kind of crazy shit do wizards eat for dinner? Bangers and mash? Fucking wild, dude, that just makes it quirkier and more fantastic.
Juan Stewart
I didn't know they made action figures for serial killers.
Jose Ward
Its simple and easy to read.
The story is just down on his luck guy who teams up with a useless male ginger and the smart female sidekicks to defeat Wizard Hitler
Harry potter has no personality so you can implant your personality onto him, whilst the female also looks at Hermione and just relate to her and see themselves as Potter's sidekick.
I mean shit, Hermione basically solves most of the issues in every part.
She is the embodiment of what women want to be: Pretty, smart, an outcast ( how many women claim to be oppressed? a lot) & basically has her own love triangle of two handsome men that embody what women seek in men. A smart man who is highly ranked and a good looking guy chase after you through hell just to be able to kiss your feet at the end of the ordeal
The whole series is like a Reverse Indiana Jones basically
You obviously missed the part where it was the muggles that forced them into hiding and world leaders are always threatening the magic folk (deathly hollows, the prim minister of England threatened final action against the wizards) . The muggles made wizards an endangered species , those harry potter wizards are the underdog oppressed race of beings
Nathan Clark
Not realizing being a wizard is a an analogue for being gay >Harry is literally locked up in a closet in the beginning >His normie family thinks he's a freak and tries to get him to stop being a wizard >JK rowling even stated that Lupins lycanthropey was a metaphor for aids
Jason Morales
Plus, government is portrayed as corrupt and ineffectual. Percy and Arthur, the two Weasleys working at the Ministry, are both spineless. Percy spends his time regulating cauldron thickness (typical bureaucrats overreaching their purview), while Arthur sits in a dingy office trying to be a good public servant (even though he's really a cuck whose wife beats him).
The Minister is a fat, bloated idiot who is in with a crowd of influence-peddlers who are actually former Death Eaters. Hogwarts is independent of the government, and it's the most trusted institution in the series. When the Minister tries to appoint a teacher there, she turns out to be awful and gets raped by a horde of centaurs. This is portrayed as a good thing.
The series has a lot of anti-big-government bias, so it's weird to see how Rowling's politics actually manifest in real life.
Jordan Green
It's a standard teenage female power fantasy (protag is whisked away from their lame normie family to a world of magic and wonder where everyone loves them except for a few jealous bitches whose antagonism drives the plot) with a male lead so both genders will read it at a formative age.
Levi King
Wizards could solve world hunger and all sorts of muggle problems overnight, but choose not to. Seems like they're anti-welfare.
Jose Reyes
I liked it and thought that it was a lot of fun. It was really magical and entertaining. It's ultimately for kids and teenagers but I loved it and I still like it today. I don't understand why people hate it except by association to numales
David Price
>falling for the meme the entire series she never uses the words "stretching their legs" and it is a long series
it's well written for its target audience. the left just has an incapability of maturing, which is why they like the series so much
Nathaniel Baker
They aren't allowed too, they aren't allowed to even use magic outside their predetermined locations that were drawn out by a muggle council a couple of hundred years earlier . Humans have the wizards shackled in a prison/reservation
Dylan Gonzalez
Don't get me wrong, I like the series a lot. The adverbs just get annoying after a while. I think it's pretty well-established that the strength of her writing is in terms of story construction/imagination, not the language she uses.
Alexander Howard
Sometimes I think about writing an adult version of HP with how it'd really be, murder, sex spells, rape, sort of like a 50 shades x harry potter cross, I know all of the cat ladies who grew up reading HP and who are now single and living in a 1br with cats would eat that shit up
Henry Baker
George RR Martin Harry Potter:
> Harry dies at the end of book 2 > Neville Longbottom ends up being the Chosen One after all
Gavin Johnson
closet racist are easily worse than "real" racist. at least we're open and justified about why we hate shitskins. liberals have a false sense of superiority for standing up for the "poor man". they are just as racist but do more damage for the people they're trying to help.
Blake Hill
Here's a better question: What can we do to ruin Harry Potter for the libtards?
Parker Flores
As a real 100% racist, your defending real racists so i'm okay with this message
Bentley Miller
nothing. liberals will ruin it themselves
Cooper Morgan
Harry Potter is for kids, I was 11 when I started reading it and I outgrew it before the she finished writing the last book.
The wizards are hilariously weak, probably the weakest magic users in any fantasy setting. Who would win; A wizard drawing his wand and having to say "Avada Kedavra" or a dude unholstering his gun and pullling the trigger.... no fireball spells no blizzard spells... the only lolz worthy spell is the "imperio(sp?)'" curse which even in my mid teens I knew would be the rape spell. Its a very feminine series when you think about it because any guys into fantasy magic books will know the HP is laughly bad when it comes to the magic/power tripping part, which is what guys like re:capeshit, videogames, etc.
Levi Cooper
The casual racism of low expectations is real. Plus progressives seem to have a serious hate-boner for well-off Asians, Jews, and any blacks/Hispanics who vote Republican (who are seen as race traitors).
I'm not a racist person generally; I like race-based humor, so I like this board, but irl it doesn't guide any of my actions. I think that's true for the majority of the people here
> pic related
Still, it just feels weird to say the left has the "real" racists after spending time on a site that does nothing but talk about Jew conspiracies, niggers, and "shitskins" all day.
The left loves harry potter because: It takes place in an ethnostate where binary (wizards and witches only) are free of muggles. Children all openly carry deadly weapons (wands) that are capable of casting the killing curse at any time, all it takes is the intent to kill. These armed children were able to defeat an attack on the school using their carry weapons. The people who tried to stop the teaching of the defense against the dark arts were in fact the bad guys. They wanted to disarm the kids so they would be easy prey for Voldemort. Voldemort was able to come to power because freedom of speech was suppressed and nobody was allowed to talk about him, making people forget about him and stop believing he was a threat. This proves that freedom of speech is important and that forbidding any form of speech is inherently dangerous.
Adam Wilson
Silent casting is possibly, skilled magicians like Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Voldemort can do as easily as they can using the spell recitations. Hell, Hagrid manages, with a broken wand no less. They're at no more of a disadvantage than a Forgotten Realms wizard who has to use verbal components.
And their spell list is not as weak as you're implying. "Weakest in any fantasy setting?" Nigga, for real, did you read Robin Hob's "Assassin" trilogy? Don't bother if you haven't, it's awful, basically a coming-of-age story where the protagonist never bothers to come of age, but seriously, their casters are way weaker.
Tyler Hill
So you disagree that shitlibs are the real racists... Or. You just think that liberals are also racist because so is 4chins. Cause both are basically true.
Josiah Baker
its because most of this Jow Forums is under 30 and can't imbrace their inter racist.
also, i,m mentally repressing yellow fever and being racist against other "darker" races i don't like is the only way i haven't fallen off the bus and fallen for yellow fever.
its kinda like pretend new age racism.
its something boomers did in the 60,70, and 80's but now that most of them are now 65+ its okay to copy without riducle because 95% of all leftist do this and they don't want to out themselves
its called reverse racism.
Camden Reyes
>nigga speak like a white man don't succumb to nigger language
It might not be the weakest but it isnt powerful high fantasy magic, forgotten realms may have spoken casting too but they can do crazy preparation shit to reflect spells, lets be real the majority of the spell casting in the movies was shooting sparks at each other, in the books i swear most duels were just one person yelling expeliarmus and disarming the other person, its been awhile, and honestly i dont really care about harry potter and capeshit in general anymore, im trying to kick videogames and grow up as it were.
Matthew Evans
When we, the millennials, were growing up reading and watching that, we didn't think like that, user. That's why everybody, not just the left, enjoys watching and rereading Harry Potter.
Henry Hall
Harry Potter is a pretty good insight into leftist thinking. It's a pure good vs. evil story, where the villians are evil for the sake of being evil and the good guys are good without flaws. Unlike stories like, say, Lord of the Rings however, Harry Potter seeks to deliver profound and important messages about the real world. To leftists, Voldemort, Death Eaters and Slytherin students think and behave the way they think alt-right/nazis/conservatives all think and behave. They all hate muggles and mudbloods, but we are never given a reason why beyond their own egos. Muggles are never seen as a threat, wizards hide from them just to avoid being bothered, not because muggles finding out would hurt and threaten their way of life. They hate mudbloods, but mudbloods are just like regular wizards and fit into their society without problem. They don't want mixing with muggles, but they never mention what negative consequences mixing could bring. Voldemort seeks power above all, and the only hinder to him gaining power is his irrational muggle hate that sets him against Dumbledore.
All of this sums up liberals problem. They don't have an adequate picture of the threats that exist in the world, so they think right-wingers are right-wing because they are petty, vain and sadistic, not because they see very real threats they want to avoid.
Tyler Davis
slytherine is the master race voldemort is hitler
mudbloods are jews/gypsies/mixed impure
wizards are allies
non wizards are NPCs
>when hitler is killed by harry poter the degeneracy is free
Brayden Rivera
Racism is for people who actually have to interact with the other races. Most of your liberal "anti-racist" types live with either all whites, or the educated upper crust races. None of these yuppie limousine liberals could maintain their anti-racist stance after living among the true niggers in the ghettos/hoods/poor areas they infest. I lived in the ghetto during college to save money, and niggers are fucking awful, and its made me dislike niggers ever since. There's a couple you meet here and there that are alright and thus the age old term "you're one of the good ones" more are literal fucking animals. I absolutely despise their lexicon and verbiage >bruh bruh bruh >dis nigga really wyling ya know jesus fuck they wonder why people don't want to be around them

>White male protagonist Don't you know the protagonist is Hermione, who's a black female. She also wicked smaht and fights against slavery and persecution of minorities. That's why the left loves Harry Potter.

Tyler Jones
A generation of arrested development lost in fantasy land. Don't hate them, pity them and fight to remove any political influence they may have. It's the same reason you don't trust downies around heavy machinery.
>Don't want to use magic to solve their problems >Right-Wing Paradise Yeah if the Right Wing consists of Wakanda tier niggers. Contrary to popular belief you Jew the Right Wing is the side of real charity and mercy by comparison to the Satanic Left. If I ever got my hands on a magic cancer cure you better bet money I would share it with those who needed it.
I've never read J K Rowling's books, but everything in this thread has reinforced what I've long suspected from her Twitter feed... that her writing is just a form of Jewish supremacist fantasy. Elitism, the sense of persecution, the vindictive punishment of opponents, slaves who "like being enslaved", all that shit is pure Judaism. And of course, she's spent the last several years doing more writing on why Bashar Al-Assad needs to be toppled than writing her little children's books. I swear, some people just seem like closet Jews, and given the Jewish predisposition to hide their names in Hollywood, it wouldn't surprise me if there are millions of closeted Jews around us all the time, just larping as goyim and pushing the kike agenda. She really seems like one of them.
Cameron Diaz
>> White male protagonist Jewish protag (Daniel Radcliffe) with Jewish recurring supporting character (Hermione) >> Main characters are born innately genetically superior to "muggles" So are kikes >> Violence against muggles is frowned upon-- but muggles are seen as humorously backwards, and can't be trusted with real knowledge The average libtard's reaction when seeing a nigger >> Characters attend British boarding school, an age-old symbol of elitism But literally everyone goes to Hogwarts, even poorfags like Ron and people with literally no converted shekels like Hermione
A better question would be why do women lose their shit if a main character is a white male, but when it comes to British males, they literally kill themselves because they are so horny.
Ah, there's some subtext >Grindelwald = The Kaiser >Voldemort = Magic Hitler So already you get the feeling that the wizarding world (Germany) has repeated problems with: >Pureblood / Mudblood Voldemort had a Muggle father, like that old saw about Hitler being one-quarter Jewish. >Smart girl leading Harry around by the nose >Best mate a bit of an idiot (more so in the movies, they gave a lot of Ron's lines to Hermione) >Final triumph over Magic Hitler >Muggles, Half-Bloods, Muggleborns, even centaurs and crap live together in harmony >Purebloods (old money, the wealthy and the pedigreed) brought low - this appeases the Communist
Thomas White
>It's a well-written story No.
We can talk about Roald Dahl, but not this shit.

James Murphy
I read the goblet of fire and stopped halfway, it was shit. Kid me knew it was shit, Lord of the rings, now that's a book.
Jeremiah Gomez
Because social and political commentary, for the left, is spouting easily relatable and understandable media talking points while trying to appear modern, witty or cosmopolitan. >lmao guise Trump is just like Voldemort just look at this Buzzfeed article >lmao Stacy ur hilarious >lol so relatable, liked and subscribed! This is for women. Men think that women actually care about Harry Potter and not social status and since they grew with it they think that now they have source material to initiate a conversation with Stacy and maybe manage to fuck her. Fucking beta enablers I swear, they're the dumbfucks that are ruining society.
Jace Roberts
Yeah, except for that crap about Tom Bombadil. That one part was weak.
Zachary Phillips
Because anyone who labels themselves a leftist is just a mindless drone (NPC lul) who just follows fads. They don't have any real taste of their own so they just listen to what everyone else in their group likes and follow suit. The same can be said for anyone who identifies as a conservative or libertarian. No one likes to watch Fox News nor does anyone actually think Atlas Shrugged is any good. People just latch on to whatever group memes are told to them.
Thomas Bennett
Exactly. It's intended for 10-18 year olds. Way better than any other young adult bullshit out there
John Thomas
Shitposting is the only thing that matters in this fuck of a world. Australians are a blessed people.

If you really want to trigger a harry Potter fag, just point out that their magic wands are really just guns and that without them they would have all lost to the illegal immigrants being led by Voldemort.

>In Jungian psychology, the "shadow", "Id", or "shadow aspect/archetype" may refer to an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify in itself, or the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious. In short, the shadow is the "dark side".
Hudson Gutierrez

Joshua Scott
The much of the left your describing has been raised by television, fantasy, and infantilization. They let media influence their views on morality rather than philosophy or experience.
These are people who have been told countless times growing up that they are the most important, brave, and morally correct generation ever by fiction. Whatever side they are on, they are the side of justice, just like Harry Potter/Luke Skywalker/etc, and their opposition is literally Nazis for not agreeing with them. Why harry potter? Fiction, rather than history or ideology, is all they know.
Despite this, there are no civil rights movements for them to fight for anymore. Segregation and slavery are over, we have 40 hour work weeks, and in fact women and minorities now have more legal rights and opportunity due to affirmative action. Why do you think feminists use intentionally vague terms like "smashing the patriarchy" or "ending toxic masculinity" when asked what exactly they want? And it's not like they're motivated enough to go to a country that actually has human rights problems like Saudi Arabia, they couldn't survive any form of uprising or revolt because they're utterly pathetic.
Despite this, that self aggrandizement is still there, that need for feeling like a hero is still there.
So they compare their opposition to a fictional villain as if that will do anything They say cringy ass things like "may the force be with us" as if that's supposed to intimidate someone They wear pussy hats They LARP as revolutionaries and burn down their college campus. And they self insert themselves into World War 2 fantasy as a cybernetic transgender polykin LGBTQIIP12345whateverthefuck++ womyn
