*FART: Feminism Appropriating Radical Transphobe

Description:
Title: "Reasons not to watch HBO's Harry Potter series"
Top Gear's "This is brilliant" meme template.
Two cars are visible. The car on the right has the text "It benefits the queen of FARTs". It's commented with the subtitle "This is brilliant.".
The car on the left has the text "Harry Potter is painfully mediocre writing". It's commented with the subtitle "But I like this."

"But I loved it as a child"

Yeah, so did I. But children aren't commonly known for having the greatest standards.

Yes, but they are also the target audience, and they hold up pretty well as a decent adaptation. Not disagreeing on the mid writing, just adding my $0.02

The target audience is mainly comprised of millenials by now, I think.

Can confirm, without the hype that was the book releases being everywhere in the media, my own kids enjoyed the first book and then lost interest.

They don't hold up because they are the last fantasy series to ignore mobile phones as a fact of reality. It is dated and timely as a book that is aching to be replaced by a timeless fantasy that speaks to all ages.

Just wanted to share something that's not stated often enough.

Yeah. I'm not gonna pay for it, but I'll have it in the background on a free site when I'm making dinner, when it comes out.

They've put out a documentary about the making of this series. Everything looks the same as it did in the movies. They've just swapped out the actors. Mostly for worse.

Serve the generation with the disposable income their nostalgia slop. No artistic deviation - only purest nostalgia.

Even Square Enix uas taking more risks with the FFVII remakes.
