For real. I don't get what people see in those books. Her writing is insufferable.
Kids read them and/or watched the movies and grew up. They then got nostalgic for the media of their childhood.
The answer is that Rowling is as good of a writer as she is a person
She's a way better writer than she is a person
She is a pretty shit writer though
Shot in the head offscreen by Ron Weasley using a requisitioned Barret 50 cal. anti-materiel rifle.
That was George or Fred.
Ron was too stupid to be Harry Potter Evans friend.
"George or Fred" so similar you can't even tell the dead one from the live one.
There's a headcannon I've heard of that's way better than the books. It says that voldemort was the master of the elder wand. The connection the wand has to personified death means that killing changing ownership makes more sense than disarming. But the real reason that voldemort lost is because he had so little soul left after creating 8 horcruxes and having them all destroyed. Him having at most a ninth of his soul meant he was doomed even with the elder wand.
The problem with this theory is that it actually presents a moral case that works the villain's actions into a theme, so it's clearly impossible for Joanne to put in her books.
I remember where I was a kid and I liked Harry Potter. I had all these fan theories to make it make sense. I was doing so many mental gymnastics to fix Jo's story.
Now I just admit that the slave heads in Santa hats are fucked.
I was a full grown adult when these books came out. I had to hate read them because of nieces and nephews etc and I have always known that they sucked and that Rowling was a lazy, shitty writer. It used to be an unpopular opinion. It's nice to see the world caught up.
Don't think anyone changed their opinion about her writing, they went from overlooking what is bad because they liked the story or whatever to criticising what is bad because they dislike her opinion.
He got ligma but died of terfitis
AFAIK Dumbledore was its master and Snape took his life so he was its new master. Then I don't remember exactly but somehow Harry was the one to actually kill Snape. So he became it's master malfoy took the wand to his master but it never obeyed either of them?
According to the book Malfoy is the one that owns the wand because he disarmed Dumbledore, then Harry disarmed Malfoy and became the new master
