Luke Smith’s Reviews > Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix > Status Update

I get that Rowling wants to make the wizarding world seem strange and mysterious but it's so silly that the students can get more than 100% in exams

Harry Potter is such an incel lmfao theres this part where Rowling shares his apparent thoughts with the reader and he says "that's what they ought to teach us here at hogwarts" while thinking of how he doesnt understand girls' minds. He's such a bratty and ignorant kid and i am getting so sick and tired of having such a lousy, dim witted moron of a main character to follow the story through lmfao

I find the logical inconsitencies of the story to be a bit annoying. For Rowling, in the tension between making more than half the teacher characters as dislikable as possible, and genuinely demonstrate the claim that Hogwarts is supposedly the best school for witchcraft and wizardry in their region of the world, unfortunately her desire to make us hate the teachers wins out. I wouldn't entrust Hogwarts with my child

Also, for some reason Rowling seems to have a vendetta against fat people? She loves to describe in great detail how fat and ugly specific characters are and uses extreme hyperbole about how heavy characters like Dudley are... it feels a bit excessive and rude.

I find it thoroughly frustrating how the narration paints Harry as a victim of the world and Harry is constantly complaining about how difficult his life is. Like yes, his life is hard, absolutely; but the people working so hard to protect him because they know a dark wizard is trying to end his life certainly have it a lot harder, and he doesn't pay any mind to that. Harry potter is a little brat.
