This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

"the ones I spied for weeks"

Words hard, apparently.

Genuine question from a non native English speaker here: what's wrong?

In all seriousness, this is what happens when you write novels without doing any world-building and just put down whatever seems "fun". The are sooooo many things in that series that make no sense once they are superceded by later plot devices. Rowling didn't think any of it through ahead of time and gave almost no thought to internal consistency with previous content when she wrote new things.

It's honestly a terrible series in most regards and it's kind of disappointing how popular it became.

Also she a trans-hating bigot. Fuck J.K. Rowling. Can't forget that part whenever discussing her or her work.

Rule of cool supersedes making sense. Yeah there’s a ton of nonsense, but you called it yourself, it’s fun. That’s all that matters.
