Will her books still be read in 1,000 years?

>>9097041
literally who?

>>9097041
the bogdanoffs have added her to the western canon already

>>9097041
Is she that hack who wrote those wizard books for 8 year old kids?

>>9097058
no

Given how liberals regard them just as well as the religious right regards the Bible, it doesn't seem unlikely to me.

>>9097041

What will be the Great Schism of Harry Potter? Will Hermione and Ginny supporters kill each others in the streets in 600 years? I say yes.

>>9097041
Itll be the homeric poems of the future. Ofc theyll be in fragments and will need translation.

>>9097041
>thinking anyone will be reading books in 1000 years

Kill yourself, fucking frogloser

I have a bone to pick with her. It's the femur bone.

>>9097183
I'm cringing so fucking much dude stop

>>9097183
Cringe

>>9097192
I wouldn't mind if she picked my bone, if you know what I mean.

(sex)

>>9097183
More?

Nah. She knows it herself hence the alcoholism and bitterness.

She desperately wants to be a great writer but she just doesn't have it in her, and it fucking eats at her daily.

>>9097228
All of her follow-ups are bad. That fantastic beasts is bad. It makes me wonder how she ever made the HP series at all.

>>9097258
Everything she has ever penned is bad. What is your point?

>>9097043
underrated

>>9097041
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! *catches breath in short gasps* GAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!


No, no they won't.

I'm sure Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is actually a tragedy about the collapse of the managerial class' world under chthonic populist forces flooding in from the outside. Production took place in the pre Trump era, they made the mistake of tacking on a happy ending.

If there are still pretentious, flashy, pretty people then yes. Look at her: She could be used in the dictionary for the image of shallow, fake and shiny.

They will only be read as an example of how to make the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Did you just rank Notes from Underground under some tour book by Kanye West?
If I ever find you, I will torture you until you tell me your greatest fear. Just so I can kill you in that fashion and then rape your corpse before cooking and eating your cum soaked remains. I will save the shit you produce and freeze it into spikes. I go and kill every little trollop you have ever fucked with the frozen shit spikes made out of you and repeat the process until every person you ever met is dead.
Only if that is . . . not a joke, that is . . .

Maybe, but no one will see them as anything but stories for children

in 1,000 years the last of the cyber-leftists will have transmitted their bodies into the net in a vapid attempt to thwart death. in doing so they will die and only a shallow copy will live on in the eternal hard drives of solar powered space ships. if harry potter exists in those metal cairns it will bring no joy and no comfort.

the last actual humans will be long dead or perhaps living as subsistence farmers in some forgotten plateau. all they will remember of us is whatever waste fails to decompose and the movie starship troopers.

It's a /tv/ meme it gets posted every time someone mentions Harry Potter

>>9098274
I hate the movie Starship Troopers. It is a terrible misrepresentation of the book. It should be fucking illegal to make a movie about a Book that you've never read.

it has been a very popular series (no one cares about her other works)

so it might be of interest to some people, in a historical context if nothing else

but who knows lmao, 1000 years is too long to make any speculations, even about the existence of our civilization

make it a few hundred years and I'm sure that, if nothing dramatic has happened, some people will still be interested in harry potter.

then again, not every popular book is remembered, but HP was a big-ass craze all around (the "western") world; it might be the beatles of todays literature, in a way.

Is being a successful failed artist the worst kind of existence?

>>9097058
You're thinking of Tolkein

>>9097923
>Brave new world
>Low tier
I mean, obviously the better one is return to brave new world but you can't put it under 1984

>>9097041
Of course not.
Most of the books discussed in this board won't be either.

>>9097041
They are hardly read today, are they?

>>9097041
probably not
in about 50 years reading will be more unpopular than never

>>9097258
Harry Potter was shit too. Preteens don't care about quality, and anyone who tells you they still like it has shit taste or literally never read another book after they finished that series.

>>9097041
> Harry marries Ginny
> not Hermione or that Irish Luna Lovegood girl

made me go through the whole series for that, fuck it, Ginny wasn't worth the paper she was printed on so no like seriously though no

and that's honestly my only gripe with the series, it's that big a deal

Of course. But because of historical interest only, and only among specialised academics and hobbyist nerds.

We still read shit like The Prick of Conscience.
