>>15653652also, when i said this
>rowling wrote a boarding school mysteries series with some barely defined magicit wasn't in as a negative. in a story for children you can get away with magic not having defined rules and only serving as plot devices or mcguffings because it's for children. that's fine, and growing should have stuck to that style. instead she tried to make the story more serious as the books went on without actually putting the legwork to up the general quality
so we are forced to autistically follow the love life of the elder wand which is now crucial for the resolution of the plot, but we don't get to know how spells are made, how magic items are enchanted or even what makes a wizard more powerful than the other
you talk shit about the eagles, but they have reasons to not be used in most of the story. meanwhile, why the fuck did harry have to participate in a potentially lethal tournament? what's the fucking cum goblet going to do if he doesn't? throw a fit? an entire book is based around all the drama it caused
I'm ready to admit tolkien wasn't perfect and didn't do everything well like i did here
>>15653707. I'm not even a lot fanboy beyond appreciating its autistic world building. but you are the one who brought it up without knowing the fucking basics of it as a defense of HP, and got mad when it turned up repeating and old normie meme didn't work
