You still see a lot of #HarryPotter merchandise around and I do wonder how much #JKRowling has damaged her own brand.

I mean, things naturally go out of fashion, so it's hard to say if it's just newer generations interested in something else instead.

But her ghastly Fantastic Beasts crap is lousy and convoluted and I've no interest in that at all. I imagine a load of kids not being interested in it too.

But then, I assume kids like all those crappy superhero movies, so idk.
But I do think, as a writer, Rowling slowly destroyed her brand. The more she wrote, the more holes in the stories. And the Fantastic Beasts thing is all over the place. Is it for adults or kids?

The answer: neither, it's crappy.

Rowling probably should have stuck to a #TerryPrachett style of writing and kept the Harry Potter world a nonsense world.

The plot holes wouldn't matter so much then.
I read the books when much younger. These days I'm heavily invested in the fanfic world and only read those. For the real books I stopped caring after book 5 anyway, 6 and 7 felt trite and utterly incompetent, and I'm a diehard 'NEVER Harry/Ginny pairing' because it disgusts me.
Yeah I know, way too invested in the thing, but just no...
I never read book 7.

Order of the Phoenix was the worst. A poorly structured book of mostly uneventful sub plots.

But I remember liking the book initially because Harry was angry and it felt like suddenly he had a personality.
Many fanfic authors just dismiss 7 as well, especially the epilog. It was shit.
I feel like I want to read it now.
There should be a warning on it.
'If you read this book and hate it, you can't unread it.'

do let me know if you do though haha
Yes, I'm just going by what I see online and by how many superhero movies there are.

The whole multiverse thing is a huge con. It's basically a way to redo an old idea then sell it to the public as something original. It plays on people's obsessions and needs to be a superhero connoisseur.

But the multiverse also allows makers to do a bad job, then just say, 'Oh well, that was just one version.'
What does o/l mean?
I see. Who pushes Harry Potter products?

Are you saying right wing bloggers and vloggers advertise HP?
