Who wrote that series with the boy wizard you’re not allowed to buy anymore unless it’s second hand? Couldn’t have been her

Maybe there’s a trans activist who’d be willing to volunteer to become the series’ writer. Someone could photoshop all the covers accordingly.

You shouldn't even be reading used copies of HP. It isn't very good. There's way better ones out there. I recommend "His Dark Materials" for starters.

Alcatraz Vs The Evil Librarians has more of a similar feel to the first three books, whereas His Dark Materials feels more like the later HP books

I don't know what the later HP books are like. I bailed after the second or third time Harry lost a positive father figure. That wasn't the only reason I gave up, but I didn't feel like they were worth the slog to get though anymore.

It's a shame that JK Rowling keeps getting paid for that manuscript she stole from Hatsune Miku and then put a bunch of Pro-Slavery and Anti-Semitism into...

I will send her the shoe polish. She can see exactly how it works out for her.

I, for one, would find it absolutely hilarious to see JK Rowling try and use the N-word to Own The Libs.
