/r9k/, thoughts on J.K. Rowling?

>GRUMF IS A BAD GUY!
>REEEEE

that's all I get out of her entire life, I seriously couldn't give a shit about these fucking liberal celebrities who want to flood the lower classes with people they'll never see and call them racist for not getting along.

HP holds a special place in my heart because childhood and first girl I liked

>>39583746
she's pretty garbage as a person

>>39583746
>ZOMG TRUMPS BAD
I think shes secretly in love with him,also shes a overrated hack.I had no clue as a child why people liked Harry Potter.

If i want cool creatures and magic,i'll stick to Hellboy and Hellblazer.

She is unattractive in a very British way

>>39583945
Also shes never said anything deep or thought provoking in her life,her opinions are boring and unoriginal,much like her books.

Typical leftist woman.

>>39583746
Moronic virtue signalling cunt.
Enemy of the people.
HP was great when I read it in 1997, but then someone handed me a copy of Dune and that was it, I was a changed boy.

you are a retard and a racist

>>39583945
Malazan book of the fallen is a masterpiece. HP is raw fucking trash. HP is made more for pre-teens though which I still feel someone like Brandon Sanderson fills that niche far better. Stormlight Archives so far is $$

Does anyone else think Harry Potter has been one of the dullest franchises in the history of movie franchises? 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 r-right
"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.

Shit like this is why /lit/ is one of the best boards.

>>39583746
I don't like Harry Potter and I wish she'd fuck off.

>>39583746
i thought the books were good when i was a kid
as i got older i realised how bad they really are
i cant for the life of me understand how adults unironically bought the books and read them thinking they were good

She's an insanely rich cunt who posts social justice and equality shit from her ivory tower because it is what's popular at the moment.

>Blugughh I'm gonna go buy a book and read the whole thing ironically! As a funny joke! Lol!!
Yes anon, it would be much easier to understand if a person did this instead of enjoying a shitty book aimed at 12 year olds.

>>39584570
i cant for the life of me understand how anon unironically replied to me thinking it was good

>>39584628
I can't understand when to use the word unironically

who the fuck made this jesus christ

>taking bait images seriously

Jesus Christ

She got typecast as a simple children's book author; seeing this and knowing what it means for her legacy in literature she tried to branch off with a mature book that bombed. Now as the original readers of HP are well into their 20s and the movie money is over she decided to go back to HP and make another sequel as her only future without that would be someone who spends 20 hours a day on twitter

/lit/ is one of the worst boards. Full of cancerous young people constantly attempting to one-up each other over how smart they think they are.
