I'M GOING TO START A NEW THREAD BECAUSE SCROLLING DOWN IS GETTING ANNOYING SO HERE ARE MORE REASONS I DISLIKE HARRY POTTER https://twitter.com/ellle_em/status/1245726363329400833

61. I get very annoyed at a lot of the narrative choices JKR makes, especially later on in the series. FOR EXAMPLE:

the fact that in Book Six, Harry doesn't think it's important enough to continue extra defense training

62. Like ok. Harry doesn't like or trust Snape, especially after the events of the fifth book. He doesn't understand why Dumbledore trusts Snape. He thinks Snape could very well be a secret Death Eater

But nah, it's not important to continue extra training w/his classmates

63. This is completely out of character. Harry's distrust of Snape is a thing established from the first time he meets him. Yet he just....accepts Snape is teaching them legit defense & he doesn't have to do anything about it EVEN THO HE BELIEVES THERE'S A CONSPIRACY AT HOGWARTS

64. Like Voldemort is still back!! And moving more openly!! And everyone is in danger!! And more than ever you'd THINK Rowling would find it important to create stronger bonds between the school-aged characters but nah, let's devote chapters to Harry staring at a wall

65. The entire sixth book is really irritating because it's paced so nonsensically and so little happens.

Like this is the book where Harry's supposed to learn the things he needs to know for the Book Seven final showdown and he.....learns about Horcruxes. That they exist

66. That's it. Dumbledore wastes his last year of life away by giving Harry the most basic Cliff's Notes versions of Voldemort's past instead of being like "ok look, I think Voldemort made these soul things but I'm not sure, still we should operate on the assumption he did"

67. Like literally every book ONLY EXISTS BECAUSE DUMBLEDORE DOESN'T DO SHIT ABOUT SHIT.

Book one: Dumbledore thinks Quirrell is maybe gonna pull some shit but doesn't do ANYTHING
Book two: h KNOWS the Heir of Slytherin is Tom Riddle but doesn't do ANYTHING

68. Book three: maybe the one book where for most of it he really couldn't have done anything BUT at the end???? He could have solved the problem in 50 different ways instead of sending two 13-year-old kids into illegal time travel zone w/o help

69. Book Four: he suspects Voldemort is getting stronger & then the kid who Voldemort wants more than anything to murder is MYSTERIOUSLY forced into a deadly competition and yet Dumbledore literally ignores Harry for 9/10ths of the book because....who knows

70. Book Five: AHHH GOD I COULD WRITE A BILLION REASONS ALONE ON WHY BOOK FIVE SHOULD BE TAUGHT IN "HOW NOT TO WRITE NOVELS" CLASSES

nothing ANYONE does makes sense except maybe Harry sometimes. And not in a "ooo fantasy" way....more in a "wow this author can't plot" way

71. The entirety of Book Five could've been rendered moot if Dumbledore's character was even a third as competent as JKR wants us to think he is. And the "flaw" she gives us as reason for Dumbledore screwing up makes his actions make EVEN LESS SENSE

72. "I didn't tell you about the prophecy because I care about u too much Harry but I don't care enough to take any other actions at all to protect u, or best equip u to face danger, or even like tell u other things that would make ur life a hell of a lot easier."
