re: Harry Potter & the Savior of the Wiz Reich

@tiefling@bardicperspiration.club there are so many icky plot points in those books, and from the earliest stages

The main character was declared a hero at birth
He’s rich rich
He has never trained in the arts, in fact he wasn’t even aware of them
After the story starts, he still doesn’t train
He just has lots of lots of untapped raw power
All because he’s from a legacy family

On the other hand, one other character, who is also from a legacy family, can do the most despicable things and not face any consequences, in fact I believe he’s eventually presented as a hero as well?

@tiefling@bardicperspiration.club I just discovered this YouTube channel that pokes holes in movie plots and it’s great

@tiefling@bardicperspiration.club I love (/s) how they adopted the author’s ethics to cast the actors

The actor portraying the non-magical bully eventually got fitter, so they almost recast him

Hermione’s actress apparently had a contract clause forbidding her from changing anything with her hairstyle for the entire span (that’s 10 years for 8 movies?); I guess they didn’t know about wigs and it was easier to traumatize this kid for her entire personality seeking phase through to adulthood
