Students are presented with enchanted robes when they arrive, which grow in size as they do, and which gradually change colour as the learning of their wearer increases, beginning a faint pink colour and becoming (if top grades are achieved in every magical subject) gold.

If the robes turn white, this is an indication that the student has betrayed the Japanese wizard's code and adopted illegal practices (which in Europe we call 'Dark' magic) or broken the International Statute of Secrecy.

To 'turn white' is a terrible disgrace, which results in instant expulsion from the school and trial at the Japanese Ministry for Magic.

Yep. Her neighbor is (top-selling Scottish detective crime novelist) Ian Rankin (who I've met, oddly). She basically decided to give it a shot because she liked his stuff (or to piss him off by outselling him, or something). I'm jealous of anyone who's independently wealthy, regardless of what they write. She's no worse than most best-selling authors.

In 2012, Rowling became the first person to fall off the Forbes list of billionaires because of charitable giving. She had given away an estimated $160 million to charity, what amounts to 16% of her net worth. I'd stick to bitching about her writing. She's sure as hell doing her part for the less fortunate.

The "first person" MAY be inaccurate: Jon Huntsman Sr. was reported to have fallen of the list in 2010. But that's A) not verified by Forbes and B) not important. Who gives a shit if she happened to be the first to have that happen? The facts about Rowling's actions are accurate (of course British tax rates played a role).

>author of YA novels is milking every drop of her commercially successful franchise
I don't get why /lit/ likes to shitpost about how bad she is and how she continues to exploit her universe considering only a fool would be impressed by her actions. She's just doing what any other author on her position would do. Damn, I would even go as far as say that you guys wouldn't think it twice confronted with a huge stack of money for writing some shitty universe for manchilds and tumblrettes.

Perhaps the only reason you get so mad with her is because you think you would stop after you get the money so you can do what you "really want to do". Guess what, you probably would change after such an experience and would continue to exploit your shitty novel despite feeling dead inside because this sort of people receive such amounts of praise (undeserved and from plebs who haven't read a single good novel, but praise nonetheless) that they just can't stop. What makes you think you're so special that you would overcome such temptations and actually pursue your dreams? There's no warranty of that.

It's not like there's any space in the current literary canon for something groundbreaking or profound. There's perhaps the biggest book market in the entire human history right now, but most of it it's crap that tries to emulates the experience of watching a TV show or tells a "moving story about someone who did something amazing" with overhyped critiques and comments from other "important authors". I'm no way a cynic, just a realist (though t b h that's exactly what a cynic would say), and when I see you guys complaining so god damn much about fucking JK Rowling, a hack that most likely will be forgotten in 30 years so it will be replaced with the new hot shit, I just see your own immaturity to confront the current state of literature.

Who the fuck wants to be inconvenienced? Who gives a shit? Nobody wants strangers in their house and she still gave away more money than you'll ever make in your whole life. Talk about sour fuckin' grapes. Don't even fucking pretend you'd give even a quarter of that to charity if you had her money.
>>
>>9237481

Give me a break. This problem isn't about any one celebrity. Our entire society needs to accept refugees, we all need to be committed to it. Instead of asking celebrities to help, we should all be saying "what can we as a society do to help?"

The text of the series lends itself so much more readily to a counter narrative.

Why? Should pro-lifers be forced to adopt x amount of children? Should animal rights activists give themselves over to be experimented on in the place of animals? If you support the death penalty should you have to kill criminals yourself?
>>
>>9238421
Which is good. The point is that she gave practically nothing. The bare minimum, all calculated for publicity and tax considerations.
>>
>>9238439
so? how much have you given?
>>
>>9238421
Lol. Once you reach a certain amount of money, using it for good publicity is a lot more beneficial than buying another house or private jet. Rowling isn't some charitable saint that did it out of the goodness of her heart--it was done entirely out of tax considerations, and to provide a smoke screen for the fact that she really is not a good person

Here you go, since you can't seem to read between the lines: society would improve if political ideology were forces to be acted upon in policy. If you vote for a policy, it is recorded and you are required to act in some way to support that change (like jury duty, not a huge commitment, just a likelihood of having to put your money where you mouth is).

I think this would make people less likely to spurt bullshit opinions that impact others a great deal but are disconnected from their own lives.

I thought maybe you meant that but it was so childish and dumb that I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

Most people pay taxes either income/property or of some other form, they deserve to have a say in how that money is spent without being punished.You leave it to politicians to make political opinions either too expensive or for some other reason unattractive to have because of the personal cost.
>>
>>9238686
not him, but anon seems to be saying that one shouldn't be allowed punish others with the consequences of their policy, or at least not without punishing themselves first.

if you really see it as a punishment to adopt that policy for Rowling, then why do you not care that more disadvantaged people were punished by her in the same way you refuse to have her punished? I don't see how you can argue it's punishment when it happens to Rowling, but not when it happens to someone else.


that's some severely twisted virtue ethics if Rowling is our purest being, the one who can murder without it being murder. personally I don't see refugees as a punishment, but the idea it's punishment for Rowling to house them is just bizarre. ostensibly she shouldn't mind refugees more than the average pro-refugeer, and should be able to house them better than anyone who's not a billionaire. that you think it's punishment to make her do that makes it seem like you don't understand what a principle is.

>not him, but anon seems to be saying that one shouldn't be allowed punish others with the consequences of their policy, or at least not without punishing themselves first.

So basically everyone should be punished when a group is affected by a policy. ok. smart.

What right have you to advocate and change the lives of people you will never interact with. What right have you to put foxes in the henhouse if you're not a farmer nor a dairyman?

What right have you to compell society to admit people's they don't want, under the guise that is the morally right thing to do, when you wouldn't feel even the slightest effects of it save for the warm cozies you get from your undulant virtue signalling?

Celebrities who abuse their fame are the worst kind of hypocrites, and are just as daft as those who think they're word more right because of their irrelevant achievements. Why should a children's novelist have any say in the lives of the common people, when she for 15 years has been quite removed from it?
>>
>>9238837
Those ghetto's are not isolated. There usually in the middle of a city or town close to the down town core. There is nothing isolated about other than the fact they will generally tend to isolate themselves from positive social interaction with non-Muslims.
>>
>>9238837
Refugees interact with society just the same; are you so much an imbecile to believe that they will come here and stay in tents in some impoverished ghetto? What of those in the ghetto, who already suffer from poor societal standards? Would it not be better to help your countrymen in dire straits before gifting upon strangers what your society is lacking?

How can you in good conscious give a home to a foreigner while your own countryman sleeps beneath bridges, among park benches, beside overpasses, beneath shopping cart tents, beside dilapidated buildings, amongst the trash, between the smell of ichor and urine? Tell me so I can sleep easier in my poverty stricken abode.

Taxes, money as the bottom line and pretending this is political action... This to me is at the very heart of the problem in society.

The epitome of people's contribution to society being reduced to literally demanding money from them is fucked. It is not remedied by being able to cast a vote amongst millions for how that money will be spent. This is the illusion of contribution, particularly when most people are dissolusioned about the difference that vote even makes.

The whole conversation about politics then becomes obsessed with the economic bottom line, rather than the kind of people we want to become and the development of a community that can make that happen.
>>
>>9238805
the thing is, if europe and the U.S set out seriously to tackle the problem, it wouldn't need to involve mass migration. They could be temporarily housed in partitioned zones but there's no will in any country to allow such a thing, from the left as a moral outrage to not allow refugees all the rights of real citizens, from the right for allowing them in at all.

The US could accept so fucking many refugees and generate a lot of goodwill so damaged by its wars there. But the method of granting asylum here is almost always to naturalize them, whether they intend to return or not.
>>
>>9238868

>>9238847

Any citizen who pays taxes has this right. By virtue of paying taxes and being a citizen. If that is not valid then why should anyone have a say on anything in the country? She gets the same one vote and the same one opinion as anyone in the country. Your beef seems to be not with Rowling but with the very concept of democratic discourse.

>>9238883

Rowling does not ask that you give your house, money or even make an effort to help refugees. She is asking you to let them into the country that is all, maybe she put out another tweet that said let refugees literally live in your house and eat your food. Maybe I am out of the loop.

If you want to help a hobo go help him. Nobody asked you to do anything for refugees with that money.

People want to force Rowling to take refugees in her mansions so she is forced to live in close proximity to them, because people are extremely annoyed that she is speaking about this from a considerable distance.
She will never have to live in close proximity to refugees without a wall of private security personnel between them and her. It's not about forcing her to give up her home, but to force her to experience what the rest of the population must when they are stuck living in close proximity to refugee centers without any kind of security service beyond the police.

> If that is not valid then why should anyone have a say on anything in the country?

I did not put to test the validity of her vote, I set forth a critique of contemporary society, one that views celebrities as the pinnacle of what we should be doing. She has considerable sway over a vast swathe of people, and she uses that sway in a way that makes her more "likeable", since her message agrees with the narrative. As a result, she becomes more popular and more profitable, and her message gets echoed and internalized, espoused by her rabid followers.

But in doing so, these followers become agents of demise for their own doing; they will advocate for their own destruction and misery if only to impress that narrative message. Under ideal circumstances policy would be debated on the merit of how it should affect the country. This is not happening. Instead, we see celebrities and news prompters waxing poetic about the virtues of helping others, all the whilst telling the vapid public that they would glady share the same burden, though its scarce from true; A rich neighborhood doesn't have to deal with thousands of foreigners who speak neither the language, and in fact, innately hate the West for destroying their homes and causing the whole problem in the first place.

In this I can only surmise it in these terms: If you kick a hornets nest, don't leave your door open when you scurry on home.

>
Rowling does not ask that you give your house, money or even make an effort to help refugees.

This is precisely whats required though? If not my home, then the home of my country, which is paid for by my taxes same as her; but I do not have a bullhorn to which everyone can hear my fears—they get washed away as evil and racist.

My house? No, but perhaps that empty neighbors house now has some. And the one next to it. And another. All whilst being paid for on the government dime while I struggle to pay rent for my tiny little place.

Money? Aren't taxes compelled from the populace, and in doing so becomes my money just the same? I have no choice here, and I get to watch my schools, colleges, streets, shops, libraries, grocery stores, hangouts and parks flooded with a people who despise me for my country. You can take the tiger from the jungle but you can't take the jungle out of the tiger, sooner or later there will be violence, begotten by either the people who lose their cultural identity, or by the tiger we so capriciously imported.

As for helping hobos, is that not what those refugees are, yet under a different name? Why do they take precedence? Is it guilt? Why then do you feel guilt for something you did not cause yourself, but inherited? You didn't choose to go to war with the middle east, yet here it came knocking on your door with its unwashed masses. Tell me, why is it you would want to help someone far away before you would help those nearest to you?

I think welfare should be extend for the homeless but i find the kinds of people who don't want refugees also resist that kind of idea. Rowling is a liberal she probably wants welfare for hobos more than you do for sure.

If you aren't giving up your house and you actually pay less tax then Rowling assuming you lived in the uk by both percentage of income and net, you personally will lose less than her in every sense of the word. You might have to be nearby foreigners but you honestly will get no pity for that.

I could turn your argument around, it is as easy for you to post on 4chan that refugees should go home as it is for Rowling to post welcome refugees on twitter. You don't have to face any refugees, you have no family who are refugees.

I actually take that back since Rowling has to publicly face criticism and you post anonymously.

> the kinds of people who don't want refugees also resist that kind of idea.

Usually for good reason. Take San Francisco as an extreme example of how homelessness isn't solved by throwing money at the problem: $300,000,000 spent on the cities 7,000 homeless. Thats about $43,000 per person. Still theres homeless; its not about being inconsiderate, its about not wanting to waste money on overhead.

>you actually pay less tax then Rowling

Difference is that my tax affects me much more than it affects her. Tax for her might equate to a few million per year that she doesn't get back, sure, but thats the difference between a 40,000 square foot house and a 45,000 square foot house in her eyes, whereas that $200 in tax I pay monthly means the difference between having the AC/Heat on or not. Taxes hurt the poor more than they hurt the wealthy.

>You might have to be nearby foreigners but you honestly will get no pity for that.

Because you fail to understand the impact it will have.

>Rowling has to publicly face criticism and you post anonymously.

That happens when you hold considerable amounts of political sway over the youth, and use it for your own personal advantage.

I take this back. This is pure strawmanning. I never once argued on the basis that being around foreigners was a bad thing. I argued that being around foreigners that HATE YOUR COUNTRY is a bad thing, of which the difference is monumental.

>Usually for good reason.

Then stop pretending like you don't know why nobody cares about hobos, it's a complex problem with complex solutions that don't fit into 140 characters and you cannot tackle every single social problem in one tweet. People who say "Oh you care about kids shot in schools but you don't care about kids getting killed by the us army" are the dumbest.

>Taxes hurt the poor more than they hurt the wealthy.

That is why the wealthy became wealthy in the first place. That is why they get taxed at a higher rate, she does more for the countries infrastructure and welfare system then you. If a refugee gets welfare she is more likley to be paying for it than you or any give person in the country by a huge margin.

>Because you fail to understand the impact it will have.

Because you have typed a short story and failed to explain the impact.

>and use it for your own personal advantage

in this case how does she personally benefit

>>9239165
That point is incidental I don't care, you will find most refugees are women and children trying not to get raped and despite what Stefan Molyneux said they want to go to school and work more than they want to destroy western civilization.

Talk about false equivalence, though I know where you're going with this.

What services would you give to a refugee? Home? Stipends? Safety? Couldn't all these be applied to a homeless person just the same? My original question stands unanswered: why do refugees take precedence over homeless?
>>
>>9239263
Your right they only rape the women.

Fuck off, Perelman turned down receiving the fields medal and millions of dollars. And thats when he was still poor as shit. And there are other examples, just because it's something you love doesn't mean you have to lower yourself for money.

>>9239246
That is not represntative of refugees entering the UK or even the US it is of refugees entering italy, greece and spain from all over Africa across the mediterranian. Which is not what we were talking about.

>why do refugees take precedence over homeless?

I don't think they should. Liberals in general do not think they should. They should both be treated very well.
>>
>>9239294
Then how come homeless people aren't given homes, but instead given crime ridden shelters? Why are they treated like a solved problem by liberals? Why is it when a man becomes homeless he is scuttled away to the nearest shelter as if that solves the problem?

Now, why oh god why, do we want to give homes and pay rent for refugees when we refuse to do the same for our own citizens first?

t. was homeless
>>
>>9239294
Where exactly do you think refugees entering Britain originate from?
>>
>>9239312
Addendum: if the services they want to give to refugees were instead given to homeless, you would hear a lot less bickering on the social impact, and more on the economic impact. Nobody thinks homeless people shouldn't have homes, they just don't agree with the way it's provided. Plenty of Tories would have no qualms with temporary payments of rent for our homeless, mind you.

their existance outside their homelands and inside yours is more than enough to destroy your civilization, these people really don't assimilate

>refugees must live in a ghetto
what the fuck is wrong with you man? throughout all of WWII internal refugees were housed by fellow citizens in their homes. thousands of children were shipped to the countryside, without their parents, in hopes they wouldn't get bombed, and with none of the background checks we'd do now. opening your home to someone in need is basic humanity; sodom and gomorrah were destroyed for their lack of hospitality and their stinginess with bread to travellers, and the person who wants refugees so long as they live in a ghetto has the same mentality as a war criminal. fuck your whole world view, mate.
